The synchronous generator (SG) plays a crucial role in power systems by serving as a stable and reliable source of electrical energy. The performance of an SG hinges on its standard parameters, which can be derived through dynamic tests. This study introduces a method for determining the standard parameters of an SG from dynamic tests conducted via power system simulation for engineering (PSS/E). The proposed method entails conducting several key tests on the generator, including a direct-load rejection test, excitation removal test, quadrature-axis load rejection test, arbitrary axis load rejection test, and open-circuit saturation test. The results obtained from these tests are then utilized to calculate the standard parameters of the SG accurately. To validate the effectiveness of the method, simulation data from the SG, as well as the designed initial data, are utilized. Statistical analysis reveals that the maximum relative error is equal to or less than 2.7% of the design values for all standard parameters, emphasizing the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method. The methodology presented in this study can complement field or site measurements, as it enables the verification of system parameters through dynamic simulations.

One method to minimize the switching power losses is to reduce the gate drain charge (QGD). In this paper, a 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET device with a buried oxide has been proposed to minimize QGD. The proposed design has been conducted by using the TCAD simulation program. The on-resistance (Ron,sp), QGD have been measured and analyzed based on the width and thickness of the buried oxide layer and compared with the measurement of traditional SiC MOSFET. The obtained results indicate that the QGD of 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET with buried oxide with WBO of 0.25 μm and TBO of 0.3 μm was reduced to about 31.3% which mean a minimize of power losses. The comparison results indicate that the proposed device with a buried oxide layer can be effectively used as an optimum solution for minimizing the power switching losses.

A non-isolated DC-DC converter topology is proposed in this paper, which is distinguished by its superior performance and reduced component count in comparison to conventional converter designs. The suggested architecture is especially appropriate for applications demanding a large voltage step-up since it achieves an improved voltage conversion ratio and excellent efficiency. The addition of a voltage-boosting element, which is an inductor combined in series with a switching device, to the source side of a conventional boost converter is a unique feature of the suggested converter. To confirm the converter's operating features, a thorough theoretical analysis has been carried out, including stability and steady-state evaluations. In addition, a hardware prototype with a 200 V output and 100 W power rating was created in order to test the converter's functionality. With a peak efficiency of 94.3%, the prototype showed good agreement with analytical forecasts. The suggested converter is a viable option for renewable energy applications because of its high voltage gain, small size, and efficiency. This is especially true for solar systems and other distributed energy sources, where low component counts and high step-up ratios are preferred.

Gorontalo Province is one of the developing regions in Indonesia. The province has been actively building apartments since 2009. The construction increases population density and energy use intensity. Consequently, demand for electricity power rises. Renewable energy such as rooftop photovoltaics has the potential as a power source for the apartments, considering the abundant solar radiation in Gorontalo which is located near the equator line. Three apartments representing three levels of the inhabitant’s income are selected as study case for the application of photovoltaic (PV) on roof to achive net zero energy building. Simulation of PV energy to power the buildings is conducted using photovoltaic geographical information system (PVGIS). By utilizing monthly electrical bill data, it is found that PV on roof is sufficient to cover the building energy demand and achieve net zero energy building (NZEB). However, there is uncertainty of the fluctuation of energy demand due to the tenant’s energy consumption behaviour. The consumption intensity is limited only by the installed power on each apartment unit. PV on roof alone is unable to provide the need if it is employed to power the unit to the maximum extent.
