The main focus in such circumstances revolves around ensuring the stability of the islanded network. This study presents an advanced decision-making framework for supporting islanded networks by integrating metaheuristic Black Widow Optimization (BWO) and the rate of change of the voltage stability index (RoCVSI). The Rate of Change of the Voltage Stability Index (RoCVSI) detects instability in islanded networks by continuously monitoring rapid changes in the voltage stability margin. Upon identifying potential instability, an advanced decision-making strategy utilizing the Black Widow Optimization (BWO) algorithm is deployed. BWO generates multiple load-shedding scenarios and evaluates their impact on system stability, iteratively refining the solutions through processes similar to selection and cannibalism in black widow spiders. The optimal load-shedding strategy is then implemented to selectively shed specific loads, thereby reducing demand and enhancing island stability. The proposed scheme’s effectiveness for islanded network stability is assessed by extensively analyzing the IEEE 33-bus system. The efficiency of the proposed approach is confirmed through a comparative analysis, with results indicating the better efficiency of the proposed method in the islanded network.","PeriodicalId":510163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emerging Electric Power Systems","volume":"5 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can not only help logistics vehicles choose the best distribution path, but also save time and cost and improve economic efficiency. At present, logistics has not yet formed a complete service system. High distribution costs and low distribution efficiency limit the development of the entire logistics. The reduction of logistics costs and the improvement of distribution efficiency have become the top priorities of the society. The optimization of the distribution route is the key to cost saving and distribution logistics. It is particularly important to study and optimize the distribution route, because the distribution route affects the logistics transportation efficiency and the loss cost during transportation. Therefore, this paper adjusted the scheduling system of logistics vehicles through a distributed intelligent system, and optimized the path of logistics vehicles according to the improved genetic algorithm, thereby reducing the transportation cost of logistics and improving the efficiency of logistics distribution. This article first explains the definition, classification, and main components of the delivery vehicle routing problem. Then, using cloud authentication path optimization, a distributed intelligent system is constructed. Finally, an improved ant colony algorithm is used to analyze and study the distance constraints of vehicles. By improving the ant colony algorithm, it can be seen that the optimized path pheromone concentration and the optimized sub-function have gradually increased with time. The mean pheromone concentration was 40 %, and the seventh day was 15 % higher than the first. The mean value of the optimized subfunction was 0.34 %, and the seventh day was 20 % higher than the first. The distribution cost and distribution efficiency of the optimized logistics vehicle distribution path were much higher than those of the traditional logistics distribution path. Moreover, the distribution cost of the logistics distribution path was 9 % lower than the traditional one, and the distribution efficiency was 13 % higher. The average smoothness of the optimized logistics path is about 90 %, and the seventh day is 11 % higher than the first day. The average fitness of the optimized logistics path is 88 %, and the seventh day is 14 % higher than the first day. In a word, the data management system can uniformly schedule logistics vehicles and improve the efficiency of distribution.","PeriodicalId":510163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emerging Electric Power Systems","volume":"30 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, while going to higher-level inverter topologies, the complexity of the PWM control approach in both cases can increase. To reduce the control complexity, few authors have reported a single modulating signal with single carrier-based PWM techniques. However, these techniques need more mathematical equations and if-else loops. This article proposes a new single-modulating and single-carrier signal-based generalized PWM control approach using floor function (FF). This technique has been verified by considering one of the single-phase conventional symmetrical and asymmetrical multilevel inverter (MLI) topologies. Generally, FF rounds the value to the nearest integer towards the negative infinity. The proposed PWM control implementation process is very simple and suitable for both high switching frequency (HSF) and low switching frequency (LSF) operations.

In the present paper, the investigation is conducted to decide on the suitability of active-cooling of the module in hot-ambient temperatures. A module without cooling is used as a base case for comparison against cooled modules with and without fins attached to the module’s rear-surface and extended down in an air-cooling duct underneath the module. At first, a theoretical study of heat transfer through the module is conducted to investigate how the calculated cell temperature and module output power are influenced by the air velocity from a blower, ambient temperature and solar irradiation. The results showed a decrease of cell temperature by about 7–10 °C with a subsequent increase of electrical efficiency. The cell temperature decreases significantly with the increase of duct height and with the increase of the number and length of fins, the same as in passive cooling. The cell temperature decreases by more than 3 °C at duct height of 0.2 m. The calculated values of cell temperature, open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the module with and without active cooling agreed reasonably with the present measured values over the day hours of two successive days in summer season. At air velocity of 1.5 m/s, the increase of electrical efficiency by active cooling was found 0.67–0.80 %. Further increase of air-flow velocity or duct-height in active cooling seeking higher efficiency is not recommended due to increase of consumed electric power by air-blower and limited decrease of cell temperature. This concludes that air cooling is not effective in regions of hot ambient temperatures. For a non-cooled module, the cell temperature is related to the ambient temperature in terms of the solar radiation and NOCT, the datasheet value of normal-operating-cell-temperature. The relationship is modified in the present paper to account for air-flow through the duct seeking its extension for application to air-cooled modules.","PeriodicalId":510163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emerging Electric Power Systems","volume":" 38","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140691332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to more reasonably characterize the disturbance degree of multi-stage voltage sag on sensitive equipment, a frequency evaluation method based on process immune time (PIT) and improved analytic hierarchy process is proposed. Firstly, multi-stage voltage sag waveforms caused by the reclosing corresponding action under transient fault and permanent fault are analyzed, and the PIT characteristic curve of sensitive equipment under multi-stage voltage sag is characterized. Secondly, the weight function method is used to calculate the influence degree of each stage sag. The analytic hierarchy process is improved by utilizing the correlation and influence degree of each stage sag. The weight of each stage sag is determined, and then the amplitude of the multi-stage voltage sag is calculated equivalently. The multi-stage voltage sag frequency evaluation method is proposed in the distribution network. Finally, the IEEE 30-bus system is used for simulation verification. The results show that the proposed method is more accurate and reasonable for the evaluation of multi-stage voltage sag frequency.

Nevertheless, contemporary topologies exhibit restricted gain, higher device stress, analysis on restricted performance metrics, constrained handling capacity for input variations, relatively lower reliability, and suboptimal device utilization. This work investigates a new Z-source with switched-capacitor (HZSSC)-based hybrid step-up converter to solve the aforementioned restrictions and adapt PV voltage dynamics.
