A multiport DC-to-DC converter-driven inductive wireless charging system for EVs with integrated photovoltaic and energy storage systems.

This paper introduces an innovative three-port DC-DC converter (TPC)-based wireless charging system (WCS) that seamlessly integrates photovoltaic (PV) and an energy storage system (ESS). The proposed system leverages the advantages of an isolated topology, enhancing safety, reducing electromagnetic interference, and enabling flexible power management.

Impact of solid oxide FC-RFB and IPFC on a renewable multi-area power system using combined PI and FOPD controllers optimized by the African Vulture algorithm.

The expanding complexity of modern energy systems and the increasing integration of renewable sources make stable load frequency control (LFC) in interconnected power networks a continuing issue. Traditional controllers, such as proportional-integral (PI), proportional-integral-derivative (PID), and other subordinate control methods, frequently fail to control frequency adequately, especially in multi-source generating systems. Furthermore, standard optimization techniques may exhibit sluggish convergence and inefficient tuning, limiting their usefulness in real-time applications.

Brayton-Moser passivity based controller for constant power load with interleaved boost converter.

A DC microgrid with renewable energy sources can achieve reduced current ripple, higher efficiency, faster dynamics, high voltage gain, and less operational stress by interfacing with an interleaved boost converter (IBC). The stability of an IBC linked to a DC microgrid supplying a constant power load (CPL) can be imperceptibly guaranteed by a conventional controller. A tightly regulated CPL with nonlinear and negative incremental impedance characteristics will lead to stability issues.

BOLD: Bio-Inspired Optimized Leader Election for Multiple Drones.

Over the past few years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones have been used for many applications. In certain applications like surveillance and emergency rescue operations, multiple drones work as a network to achieve the target in which any one of the drones will act as the master or coordinator to communicate, monitor, and control other drones. Hence, drones are energy-constrained; there is a need for effective coordination among them in terms of decision making and communication between drones and base stations during these critical situations.

Realizing a Novel Friction Stir Processing-Enabled FWTPET Process for Strength Enhancement Using Firefly and PSO Methods.

The friction welding of tube to tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET) is widely deployed in several industrial applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and power plants. Moreover, for achieving a better tensile strength and hardness in the weld zone, the friction stir processing (FSP) technique was incorporated into the FWTPET process for joining aluminum alloys (AA6063 tube, AA6061 tube plate). Furthermore, it has to be noted that FWTPET was applied for joining the AA6063 tube to the AA6061 tube plate, and FSP was deployed for reinforcing the weld zone with carbon nanotube (CNT) and silicon nitride (SiN) particles, thereby attaining the desirable mechanical properties.
