Read moreThe primary focus of this study is to develop an energy management system that regulates the energy transfers between the hybrid microgrid system and the loads connected to it, and the grid via MATLAB/Simulink so as to model the flow of energy. The secondary aim is to make recommendations aimed at the charging and discharging of what is referred to as the hybrid energy storage system (HESS). The results indicate that the proposed algorithm successfully carried out the required task of bridging the HESS charging to discharging ratio in relation to the different operating conditions as well as power management between the microgrid and the network. In this application, a stronger charging power might be employed on the HESS. It has been seen that the HESS is more likely to complete charging within a short time than the greater charging power.

Hybrid microgrids are transforming energy management by incorporating various energy resources like wind, solar, and battery storage. Effective scheduling of this resource is vital to minimize the costs and maximize energy autonomy. Advanced scheduling algorithm optimizes the operation of hybrid microgrids, which dynamically adjusts the energy consumption and generation to satisfy the demand while ensuring power balancing. This scheduling strategy has been instrumental in improving the sustainability and resilience of MGS, which paves the way for an environmentally friendly and more reliable energy future.

In order to link the battery and supercapacitor to the DC bus, the system also makes use of a DC-DC bidirectional converter.
Read moreNowadays, the amount of smoke and dust in the air is increasing significantly due to industrialization. The smoke and dust particles accumulate in the relatively dry air and cause haze in the surrounding area, impairs visibility. This haze also affects photography, which reduces the images' quality and looks unnatural. The hazy atmosphere affects even pictures taken with a cell phone in everyday life. There are many methods to remove this haze content from the image, but they have not yielded great results. The long-time and short-time shots constantly differed while attempting to eliminate atmospheric haze from the images. To solve this problem, a fusion rule was proposed to fuse the luminance and dark channel prior (DCP) methods. The transmission estimated with the DCP method contributes mainly to the foreground regions, while the luminance model deals with the celestial regions.
Read moreWhile the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is a promising alternative to reduce CO2 emissions, it creates new challenges for the power grid due to increased energy demand and power quality (PQ) issues.

Read moreThis article explores a power transfer technique from vehicle to grid (V2G) via the construction of an off-board charger for electric cars (EVs). The charger accommodates several charging modes, such as grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), facilitating efficient and adaptable energy management.

Read moreTo increase power quality (PQ) in radial distribution systems (RDS) by utilizing active power filters (APFs), this research discusses the application of walrus optimization algorithms (WaOA). The main problem with the PQ is harmonics. The harmonics are added to the RDS by nonlinear loads (NLs). In this instance, together with NL at two end nodes, nonlinear distributed generation (NLDG) is additionally considered. APFs are used to decrease the harmonics to specified limits. In this instance, APFs are positioned correctly to reduce harmonics and improve PQ. WaOA is utilized to maximize the APF's size at the ideal bus location. The WaOA is inspired by natural processes and contains features that are well-balanced for both exploration and exploitation. Within limitations on inequality, optimization seeks to minimize APF's current. On the IEEE-69 bus RDS, a simulation is run to assess the WaOA's performance.
