Neelakanteshwar Rao Battu , Surender Reddy Salkuti
Multi-feed radial distribution systems are used to reduce the losses in the system using reconfiguration techniques. Reconfiguration can reduce the losses in the system only to a certain extent. Introduction of distributed generators has vastly improved the performance of distribution systems. Distributed generators can be used for reduction of loss, the improvement of the voltage profile, and reliability enhancement. Distribution generators play a vital role in reducing the losses in the distribution system. Placement of distributed generators in a multifeed system is a complex task to be solved using classical optimization methods. Classical optimization techniques may sometimes fail to provide a converged solution. Installation of distributed generators at suitable locations in a multi-feed system is found in this paper using the actor-critic learning algorithm. Actorcritic learning approach uses temporal difference error as a signal in making judgements regarding actions to be taken for future states in accordance with rewards that have been obtained by applying the present policy. The approach is applied to a standard 16-bus distribution system for reduction of system losses, and the results are discussed.

The aim of this research was to propose an innovative method of controlling the speed of an induction motor (IM) using fuzzy logic, integrated with internet of things (IoT). To achieve this aim, fuzzy logic was used to increase the performance of IM in order to obtain stable speed and high system response even in the presence of disturbances. Moreover, fuzzy logic relied on rules that used linguistic variables, and its main advantage was simple yet highly accurate, enabling the system to be efficient for determining parameters compared to the time-consuming and inefficient trial-and-error method. In this research, IoT implementation used Blynk platform to control and monitor IM speed remotely. Additionally, the components used in this research included an inverter, gate driver, Arduino Mega 2560, and NodeMCU ESP8266. Pulse width modulation (PWM) was required to obtain rotational speed of the motor through MOSFET switching process. The gate driver amplified PWM signal from Arduino Mega 2560, allowing MOSFET to operate. As a result, IM achieved a stable speed, and the system response followed the reference using fuzzy logic. In addition to this process, the system could be controlled and monitored remotely. Finally, the control system was successful, and the results were presented to show the viability of the proposed method.

The primary intent of the present research was to design and execute an electrical load forecasting system using machine learning (ML) techniques. The implementation of an advanced predictive method, specifically an ML algorithm, helped in accurate load forecasting, which is crucial for efficient power grid management, and optimizing resource allocation. Electricity load fluctuates due to various complex factors, making traditional forecasting methods struggle. This is where ML shines. ML algorithms can learn from historical data, identifying intricate patterns and relationships that influence electricity demand. This allows them to make more accurate predictions than static models. In this work, regression learning models in ML are used with the MATLAB platform. Three years of real-time data from the Wavi substation in India are used. Considering day, date, hour of day, max and min temperature of the day, and voltage and current are taken as input parameters to test fourteen different models of assorted regression algorithms. The performance of these models is evaluated using commonly used metrics, root mean square error (RMSE), mean squared error (MSE), and mean absolute error (MAE), along with a few other parameters. The optimized trained model is then tested with real data to obtain the forecasted load. The correlation between the Actual load and forecasted load is found to be 0.999962.

A grid-connected solar water pumping system (SWPS) uses solar power to pump water while simultaneously drawing power from the grid when necessary. These systems can benefit farmers in a variety of ways, including reliable power, lower electric bills, increased income, and improved economic viability. This study explores a solar photovoltaic (SPV) water pumping system designed to function with a single-phase distribution network. It utilizes an induction motor drive (IMD) and incorporates an advanced power-sharing technique for optimal performance. In addition to transferring power from SPV to IMD, a DC-DC boost converter functions as a grid interface and power factor adjustment device. Maximizing the power extracted from the SPV array is critical for optimizing its utilization. To do this, a control mechanism based on incremental conductance is implemented to track maximum power points. Simultaneously, the IMD connected to the power source inverter is regulated using a simple volt/frequency approach. The suggested system, which includes standalone, grid-interfaced, and mixed-mode situations, is developed and validated in a lab.
