Wireless charging Class-E inverter for zero-voltage switching over coupling coefficient range

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i3.pp1752-1764
Anon Namin , Chuchat Donloei , Ekkachai Chaidee
A novel and practical methodology is presented in this study for designing contactless wireless energy systems using resonant-mode Class-E converters, aiming to sustain efficient soft-transition switching under various levels of magnetic coupling, even under coil misalignment. The approach integrates the wireless power transfer (WPT) circuit with the inverter’s series resonant network and analytically derives the relationship between the coupling coefficient and impedance phase angle to identify zero voltage switching (ZVS) conditions. A key contribution is the use of the maximum expected coupling coefficient as a critical design point to ensure ZVS across practical variations. A complete step-by-step design procedure is provided. Simulation and experimental results confirm that the inverter achieves and maintains ZVS for coupling values in the range 0 < k ≤ kdesigned, with efficiencies reaching up to 95%. This work supports the advancement of soft-switching inverter design to enable robust and efficient WPT systems under practical misalignment conditions.

This paper offers a passive islanding detection method that is effective for distributed generation. When a distributed generator (DG) keeps a location powered even when access to the external electrical grid is lost, this circumstance is referred to as islanding. The power distribution system currently includes distributed generators (DGs), which provide inexpensive electricity and have fewer environmental impacts. Sometimes, these DGs continue to supply the nearby loads because of line outages and islands made by system separations. As a result, there are scenarios with unacceptable power quality. The islanding is identified if the result of the rate of change of frequency over reactive power exceeds the threshold value. The MATLAB test results from this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach for different islanding and non-islanding scenarios.

This paper modeled and analyzed the reliability performance of the 132/33 kV substation in Abuja, Nigeria through the historical data collected from the APO substation using MATLAB 2021b. The probability distribution model was applied to determine the daily feeder’s outage using Reliability, availability, mean time to repair (MTR), Failure rate, distribution indices, and mean time between failures (MTBF). Due to the application of smart energy meters, the use of prepaid energy meters has helped to regulate energy demand, reduce network overloading especially during peak hours, and minimize the cost of energy consumed. There are more forced failures in the distribution system due to the switchgear and Transformer failures. There are more forced failures in the distribution system since 2013, which caused a reduction in the number of interruptions even with an increase in several customers linked to the transmission network. The result shows that the system was most available in the year 2015 with an average service availability index (ASAI) value of 98.9971%. The system was least available in year 2011 with an ASAI value of 98.6558%. The paper recommended that there should be interconnections between different feeders through proper configuration of switches or reclosers, to reduce failure occurrence in the network.

Metal-air batteries are rechargeable secondary batteries with high energy density, typically using carbon electrodes. However, carbon waste poses environmental risks. Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, offers a sustainable alternative due to its high electrical conductivity. This study analyzes research trends on metal-air batteries and fly ash from 2019 to 2023 using bibliometric visualization of Scopus-indexed publications. The keyword search was refined from 'Battery' to 'Air Battery' and, finally, 'Air Battery' with 'Fly Ash,' yielding 60 relevant articles. Using the VOSviewer, research patterns, key focus areas, and collaboration networks were identified. The results indicate a 14.87% increase in publications from 2019 to 2023, with significant growth from 2019 to 2021 before declining after 2022. This fluctuation suggests shift in research interests toward other battery technologies. Fly ash demonstrates potential as a carbon substitute for air batteries, promoting sustainability. However, further research is needed to optimize its application and address technical challenges. Bibliometric visualization highlights a growing interest in fly ash for environmentally friendly battery development due to its abundance and sustainability.

Applied physics courses are essential for pre-service physics teachers (PsPTs), but they often encounter challenges in pursuing this educational pathway. This study aims to identify the problems and learning elements that PsPTs need in applied physics learning using the McKillip discrepancy model. The data were collected using questionnaires and bibliometric techniques. A total of 23 PsPTs participated in the study. Additionally, 1,000 articles were consulted as a data source. The data analysis uses descriptive statistics and the VOSviewer software. The first finding is primary issues identified in applied physics learning e.g., the difficulty of locating suitable learning resources, the dearth of in-depth physics comprehension, the absence of visualization like augmented reality (AR), the failure to undertake empirical activities in the laboratory, and global warming and climate change topic were pertinent at the high school level, entailed intricate issues, and were abstract. The second finding is a learning module that is integrated with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and AR is needed by PsPTs. Finally, this need has been paramount over the past decade to meet PsPTs' needs. Thus, the needs analysis results serve as an initial reference point for decision-makers to identify elements and develop integrated STEM and AR applied physics learning modules.

The rise of social media has changed modern communication, placing information at our fingertips. While these developments have made our lives easier, they have also increased cybercrime. Cyberspace has become a refuge for modern cybercriminals to conduct destructive actions. Most cyberattacks are carried out through malicious links shared on social media platforms, emails, or messaging services. These attacks can have serious consequences for individuals and organizations, including financial losses, sensitive data breaches, and damage to reputation. Early identification and blocking of such links are crucial to protecting internet users and securing cyberspace. Current research uses machine learning (ML) algorithms to detect malicious hyperlinks based on observed patterns in uniform resource locators (URLs) or web content. However, cyberattack tactics are constantly changing. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a robust method that performs a fine-grained analysis of URLs for classification. Lexical and n-gram features are examined separately, with URL n-grams represented using Word2Vec embeddings. The results from hybrid feature sets are combined using a logistic regression (LR) model to increase overall classification accuracy. This robust method allows the system to use both the structural components of the URL and the fine-grained patterns obtained by the n-grams.

This study presented a deep learning-based model in the submersible pump impellers quality inspection process. The proposed method aimed to relieve worker workload, automate the system, as well as increase the accuracy in defect detection and classification. The proposed approach aims to be implemented on systems with low investment cost and limited resources, i.e., small single-board computers, enabling flexible deployment in industrial environments. The model consisted of three convolutional neural network (CNN) models, i.e., visual geometry group 16 (VGG16), ResNet50, and a custom model. The outputs of three networks were either synthesized later through an ensemble stage or used separately. A graphical user interface (GUI) was also developed for real-time inspection and user-friendly interaction. The approach achieved up to 99.8% accuracy in identifying defects, including surface scratches, corrosion, and geometric irregularities. The proposed method improved the quality assurance process by reducing manual inspection efforts. Future research could explore advanced techniques like anomaly detection to further enhance system performance and versatility.

A comprehensive analysis of quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation in both single input single output (SISO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems is conducted using MATLAB. The investigation focuses on evaluating QPSK performance with metrics such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER) across diverse channel conditions. Furthermore, the study extends to encompass the integration of QPSK with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), with a particular emphasis on assessing spectral efficiency and error rate implications. To validate the accuracy of the simulations, QPSK and QPSK-OFDM configurations are implemented on the WiComm-T hardware platform, enabling a direct comparison of real-world performance metrics against simulation results. By offering practical insights and recommendations for the deployment of robust communication systems, this research underscores the inherent advantages of integrating OFDM with QPSK across both SISO and MIMO configurations.

When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, paper trash could release dissolved organic matter (DOM) as a disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor in water. This study was undertaken to assess the regulated DBPs, trihalomethanes-4 (THM4) generation potential, and estimated cytotoxicity of paper trash soaked in water during UV radiation. The UV irradiation was carried out at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours. The released organic material was determined using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) adsorption at wavelengths ranging from 200 to 700 nm. Chlorination was carried out for 24 hours to determine THM4 formation potentials. According to the research findings, the longer the radiation period, the more THM4 species are formed in plain paper samples. On the other hand, the production of trichloromethane (TCM) on paper samples containing writing decreased as the UV radiation period increased. THM4 levels reached 103.12 and 150.57 µg/L for plain and writing paper samples, respectively. UV absorbance at 272 nm (A272) shows a 92% association with THM4 production, making it suitable as an initial characterization approach. Paper trash pollution in water could form carcinogenic DBPs, THM4, if used as a water source in a water treatment plant using chlorine disinfection.

Raga is a fundamental element of Indian classical music (ICM), crucial for identifying the unique characteristics of a given song. Recognizing the embedded Raga allows for various applications, including music therapy, and leveraging the therapeutic effects of different Ragas. The use of mathematical techniques such as fast fourier transform (FFT) and fundamental frequency measurement (FFM) in calculating note values has proven effective for Raga pattern recognition. Both methods yield nearly identical results, facilitating accurate identification of Ragas. Once identified, these Ragas can be used for specific therapeutic purposes, harnessing their healing potential.

This study introduces a simple dead-time control signal for the non-isolated synchronous buck DC-DC converter, incorporated alongside maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system. Dead-time control in non-isolated DC-DC converters is challenging due to difficulties in accurately sensing and predicting errors, especially during the transition between switching modes. The introduction of the dead-time control method resulted in optimal efficiency for the stand-alone PV system. The dead-time control was implemented in the hardware prototype using a bootstrap technique. Power generation from the PV module was optimized through the DC converter's implementation of an improved perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT approach. According to the results, the proposed design achieved an overall system efficiency of 80%. Moreover, the enhanced P&O MPPT algorithm prototype was observed to produce a maximum output power of 60 W.

This paper compares the magnetic, electrical, and mechanical characteristics of two permanent magnet generator topologies: single-gap axial flux and single-gap inner rotor radial flux. The study aims to identify how the key parameters fluctuate at each power capacity and investigate the trends in their values as power changes. The power capacities observed are 300 W, 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. Simulations used with the help of Ansys Maxwell software to obtain: i) magnetic characteristics without load, including air gap flux density, flux linkage, and induced voltage, ii) electrical performance, consisting of armature current, terminal voltage, voltage regulation, total harmonic distortion, core loss and output power, and iii) mechanical performance, including shaft torque and cogging torque. The last step compares the power density of both topologies. The simulation results show that the axial flux permanent magnet generator (AFPMG) has better air gap flux density, voltage regulation, total harmonic distortion (THD), efficiency, electromagnetic torque, and power density characteristics. Meanwhile, the radial flux permanent magnet generator (RFPMG) is superior in induced voltage and output power. These results conclude that, in general, AFPMG is exceptional from a technical point of view and is more economical when applied to hydro or wind energy systems.

Enhancement of power quality of grid integrated photo voltaic system using active power filter

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i3.pp2017-2029
Praveen Kamat , Anant Naik
The world's population's energy needs are growing daily, while at the same time, fossil fuels are being reduced at an alarming rate. Fossil fuel burning also increases pollution and causes global warming. Renewable energies are now being extensively used to generate electricity, so the dependence on fossil fuels is considerably reduced. Among the primary sources of alternative energy used to create power is photovoltaic (PV) technology. A grid connected PV system is the most widely recommended. When PV is linked to the grid, two main issues are the maximum power that can be taken out of it and the quality of the electricity placed into it. With the help of neural networks, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology has been developed to increase the PV array's power harvesting. An active power filter (APF) had been created and analyzed using Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory, including the Chebyshev II low-pass filter. As required by IEEE 519, the total harmonic distortion (THD) with injected source current has been confirmed well within 5%. These results demonstrate that this method is a simple and efficient way to inject harmonic-free currents into the grid.

One of the main engineering challenges has been to design an economical soil retaining structure with high seismic resistance. From this perspective, reinforced soil walls have been developed with a focus on flexibility, in order to efficiently resist the effects of similar historical events in the event of a significant earthquake. The overall objective of this study was to compare the structural behavior of a geogrid-reinforced soil wall (Terramesh® system) under static and pseudo-static loads, and in a seismic environment simulated using the finite element method, in a shopping center in Trujillo, Peru. A case study was conducted using a mixed methodology, both applied and analytical-comparative in scope. Furthermore, the finite element methodology, material constitutive modeling, and dynamic time-history analysis of modal structures were chosen. It was determined that seismic loading can produce a 53.33% increase in deformations compared to the static state; Likewise, the overall safety factor under dynamic conditions tends to decrease by 27.85% compared to the static case. This study demonstrated the scope of geogrid reinforcement (Terramesh® system) through a practical case of a reinforced soil wall, using Plaxis 2D software to compare, estimate, and compare structural behavior in static, dynamic, and simulated environments.
