This document summarizes and compares two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques for photovoltaic systems: perturbation and observation (P&O) and improved perturbation and observation (IP&O). P&O is commonly used due to its simplicity but has drawbacks like slow response and oscillations around the maximum power point. IP&O aims to overcome these issues by automatically adjusting the perturbation step size and hysteresis band. Simulation results show IP&O increases total PV output power by 0.5% compared to P&O under changing weather conditions and has faster tracking response and higher reliability.
This thesis proposes advanced control strategies for photovoltaic and energy storage power conversion systems to improve energy harvesting, ensure grid compliance, and provide grid support. The first improvement extends the input voltage range of inverters to increase solar energy capture. A voltage-reactive power control strategy and modified modulation technique provide a lower voltage limit. Maximizing semiconductor utilization achieves a higher limit, improving energy capture by 30%. A second strategy integrates grid fault detection within control algorithms to enable compliance. The final contribution provides frequency and voltage support functions for grid stability beyond existing standards. Combined, these approaches develop high-performance, efficient, safe and grid-friendly solar power solutions.

This document summarizes a research paper on maximizing the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) system using perturb and observe (P&O) control applied to maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It describes how PV output is affected by solar irradiance and temperature. A boost converter is used along with a P&O MPPT algorithm to continuously adjust the duty cycle and extract maximum power from the PV panel. Simulation results show that using MPPT improves efficiency from 73% without MPPT to 97.6% with MPPT by ensuring the PV operates at its maximum power point under changing conditions. The study demonstrates that MPPT effectively increases PV system performance compared to direct connection without MPPT control.
This document summarizes a study that proposes a photovoltaic (PV) system with fuzzy logic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) applied to a boost converter and PI control applied to a buck converter to act as a battery charge controller. The fuzzy logic MPPT method is used to operate the PV panels at maximum power under varying temperature and irradiance conditions, increasing efficiency. The PI controller regulates the buck converter output to provide appropriate constant current and voltage for fast battery charging with low losses. The system was modeled and analyzed in MATLAB/Simulink.
To increase energy yield from an installed photovoltaic (PV) array, particularly during partial shading condition (PSC), a new technique based on reconfigurable PV array interconnection is proposed in this work. The proposed technique works by dynamically changing the interconnection of PV modules to form a new configuration using a switching matrix inside the array. The criteria of good reconfigurable PV array interconnection techniques depend on the efficiency and accuracy of the control algorithm to optimally reconfigure the PV array to maximize the total output power. Hence, this paper proposes a new control algorithm using differential evolution (DE) for photovoltaic array reconfiguration (PVAR). To verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, DE is compared with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Results confirm that DE performs well in terms of the amount of energy production during PSC. For all the nine shading patterns tested on a 3 × 3 PV array, DE yields 1% to 5% more power than PSO.

determining the step-size of perturbation in duty-cycle of a photovoltaic electrical system to track MPP is presented. The model is

MPPT oscillations minimization in PV system by controlling non-linear dynamic...IJECEIAES
Solar PV power generation has achieved rapid growth in developing countries which has many merits such as absence of noise, longer life, no pollution, less time for installation, and ease of grid interface. A maximum power point tracking circuit (MPPT) consists of DC-DC power electronics converters that are used to improve the energy attainment from solar PV array. This paper presents a detailed analysis to control of chaos, a non-linear dynamic in SEPIC DC-DC converter interfaced solar PV system, to minimize the oscillations near to MPP. In SEPIC DC-DC converter, the input inductor current is continuous and capable of sweeping the whole I-V curve of a PV module from open circuit voltage (V oc ) to short circuit current (I sc ) operating points. To trace the true maximum power point and to nullify the oscillations near to MPP, the yield output voltage needs to ensure period-1 operation.
1) The document proposes using a high step-up converter controlled by a fuzzy logic controller for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar power applications to drive a brushless DC motor.
2) A conventional DC-DC converter is replaced with the high step-up converter to efficiently boost the output voltage from the solar panel without needing parallel buck operation.
3) The fuzzy logic controller adjusts the duty cycle of the high step-up converter to track the maximum power point under varying solar irradiance and temperature conditions.
Valuation and Determination of Seven and Five Parameters of Photovoltaic Gene...Ah Roueiha
The mathematical modeling of solar cells is essential for any optimization operation of the efficiency or the diagnosis of photovoltaic generator. The photovoltaic module is generally represented by an equivalent circuit whose parameters are experimentally calculated by using the characteristic current-tension, I-V. The precise determination of these parameters stays a challenge for the researchers, making to a big difference in the models and the digital methods dedicated to their characterizations. In the present paper, We are interested to characterize the parameters of single diode and two diodes models, in order to plan the behavior of the photovoltaic generator under real functioning conditions. We developed an identification method of the parameters using Newton Raphson method by using the software Matlab/Simulink. This method is the faster technique which allows the identification of several parameters and can be used in real time applications. The results of the proposed method show an accordance with the experimental and simulated characteristics of photovoltaic generator.

The demand for renewable energy has increased because it is considered a clean energy and does not result in any pollution or emission of toxic gases that negatively affect the environment and human health also requiring little maintenance, and emitting no noise, so it is necessary to develop this type of energy and increase its production capacity. In this research a design of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method using Neural Network (NN) for photovoltaic system is presented. First we design a standalone PV system linked to dc boost chopper with MPPT by perturbation and observation P&O technique, and then a design of MPPT by using ANN for the same system is presented. Comparative between two control methods are studied. The results explained in constant and adjustable weather settings such as irradiation and temperature. The results exposed that the proposed MPPT by ANN control can improve the PV array efficiency by reduce the oscillation around the MPP that accure in P&O method and so decreases the power losses. As well as decrease the the overshot that accure in transient response, and hence improving the performance of the solar cell.
Experimental studies have been conducted to understand disc brake noise and vibration. Researchers have used brake dynamometers and on-road testing to examine different parameters and operating conditions. They have measured vibration behavior using microphones and accelerometers. Studies have found that slotted discs can eliminate squeal vibration, while friction material and pad geometry changes can reduce it. Holographic interferometry has been used to view vibration modes on self-excited brakes. Further research aims to standardize noise measurement methods and remove subjective assessments to better understand noise generation and reduction.

Abstract
The output power of photovoltaic electrical systems is highly dynamic and non-linear in nature. In order to extract maximum power
from such systems, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is required. MPPT techniques with variable step-size of
perturbation track the maximum power point (MPP) with more efficiency. In this paper, a model of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for
determining the step-size of perturbation in duty-cycle of a photovoltaic electrical system to track MPP is presented. The model is
simulated in MATLAB/Simulink®.

MPPT oscillations minimization in PV system by controlling non-linear dynamic...IJECEIAES
Solar PV power generation has achieved rapid growth in developing countries which has many merits such as absence of noise, longer life, no pollution, less time for installation, and ease of grid interface. A maximum power point tracking circuit (MPPT) consists of DC-DC power electronics converters that are used to improve the energy attainment from solar PV array. This paper presents a detailed analysis to control of chaos, a non-linear dynamic in SEPIC DC-DC converter interfaced solar PV system, to minimize the oscillations near to MPP. In SEPIC DC-DC converter, the input inductor current is continuous and capable of sweeping the whole I-V curve of a PV module from open circuit voltage (V oc ) to short circuit current (I sc ) operating points. To trace the true maximum power point and to nullify the oscillations near to MPP, the yield output voltage needs to ensure period-1 operation.
1) The document proposes using a high step-up converter controlled by a fuzzy logic controller for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar power applications to drive a brushless DC motor.
2) A conventional DC-DC converter is replaced with the high step-up converter to efficiently boost the output voltage from the solar panel without needing parallel buck operation.
3) The fuzzy logic controller adjusts the duty cycle of the high step-up converter to track the maximum power point under varying solar irradiance and temperature conditions.

The mathematical modeling of solar cells is essential for any optimization operation of the efficiency or the diagnosis of photovoltaic generator. The photovoltaic module is generally represented by an equivalent circuit whose parameters are experimentally calculated by using the characteristic current-tension, I-V. The precise determination of these parameters stays a challenge for the researchers, making to a big difference in the models and the digital methods dedicated to their characterizations. In the present paper, We are interested to characterize the parameters of single diode and two diodes models, in order to plan the behavior of the photovoltaic generator under real functioning conditions. We developed an identification method of the parameters using Newton Raphson method by using the software Matlab/Simulink. This method is the faster technique which allows the identification of several parameters and can be used in real time applications. The results of the proposed method show an accordance with the experimental and simulated characteristics of photovoltaic generator.

The demand for renewable energy has increased because it is considered a clean energy and does not result in any pollution or emission of toxic gases that negatively affect the environment and human health also requiring little maintenance, and emitting no noise, so it is necessary to develop this type of energy and increase its production capacity. In this research a design of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method using Neural Network (NN) for photovoltaic system is presented. First we design a standalone PV system linked to dc boost chopper with MPPT by perturbation and observation P&O technique, and then a design of MPPT by using ANN for the same system is presented. Comparative between two control methods are studied. The results explained in constant and adjustable weather settings such as irradiation and temperature. The results exposed that the proposed MPPT by ANN control can improve the PV array efficiency by reduce the oscillation around the MPP that accure in P&O method and so decreases the power losses. As well as decrease the the overshot that accure in transient response, and hence improving the performance of the solar cell.

Time Dependent Quadratic Demand Inventory Models when Delay in Payments is Ac...IJMER
An EOQ model is constructed for deteriorating items with time dependent quadratic demand rate. It is assumed that the deterioration rate is constant and the supplier offers his retailer the credit period to settle the account of the procurement units. To solve the model it is further assumed that shortages are not allowed and the replenishment rate is instantaneous. We have presented the models under two different scenarios, viz., (i)the offered credit period is less than or equal to the cycle time and (ii) the offered credit period by the supplier to the retailer for settling the account is greater than cycle time. The objective is to minimize the retailers total inventory cost. Salvage value is also taken to see its effect on the total cost. A numerical example is given to study the effect of allowable credit period and the total cost of the retailer.

Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. The efficiency of solar PV is very low. In order to increase the efficiency, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are to be undertaken to match the source and load property. These techniques are employed in PV systems to make full utilization of PV array output power. Recently, many MPPT algorithms of PV system have been proposed which depends on solar irradiation and temperature, but perturb and observe (P&O) and Incremental conductance algorithms are basic and most widely used. This project firstly introduces a Mat lab Simulink of photovoltaic array.

Abstract PV Module Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is a photovoltaic system that uses the photovoltaic array as a source of electrical power supply. Every photovoltaic (PV) array has an optimum operating point, called the maximum power point, which varies depending on cell temperature, the insulation level and array voltage. The function of MPPT is needed to operate the PV array at its maximum power point. The design of a Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) is proposed utilizing a cuk converter topology. Solar panel voltage and current are continuously monitored by a MPPT, and the duty cycle of the cuk converter continuously adjusted to extract maximum power. The design consists of a PV array, DC-DC cuk converter and many such algorithms have been proposed. However, one particular algorithm, the Incremental Conductance method, claimed by many in the literature to be inferior to others, continues to be by far the most widely used method in commercial PV MPPT’s. The general model was implemented on Mat lab, and accepts irradiance and temperature as variable parameters and outputs the I-V characteristic and P-V characteristic Index Terms: PV system; Maximum power point tracking (MPPT); Incremental conductance (Inccond); digital signal processor (dsp)
This document describes a study that uses artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA) to model and control a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. 390 sets of temperature and irradiance data were optimized using GA to obtain corresponding maximum power point (MPP) voltages. These optimized data were then used to train an ANN for MPPT control. Simulation results in Matlab/Simulink showed that the ANN-GA controller had less fluctuation around the MPP and faster convergence than conventional methods. A P-Q controller was also used to control grid voltage/current and allow both active and reactive power exchange.

A Review of Maximum Power Point Tracking: Design and Implementationpaperpublications3
Abstract: Photovoltaic Energy is the most important Energy Resource since it is clean pollution free and inexhaustible. In recent years a large number of techniques have been proposed for tracking the Maximum Power Point. PV array has non-linear I-V characteristic and output power depends on environmental conditions such as solar irradiation and temperature. There is a point on I-V, P-V characteristic curve of PV array called as Maximum Power Point (MPP), where the PV system produces its maximum output power. Location of MPP changes with change in environmental condition. The purpose of MPPT is to adjust the solar operating voltage close to MPP under changing environmental conditions. In order to continuously gather the maximum power from the PV array, they have to operate at their MPPT despite of the inhomogeneous change in environmental conditions. The two most commonly algorithms for PV applications as they are easy to Implement are Beta method Incremental Conductance (Inc. Con.).Beta algorithm is a type of MPPT algorithm. It is having fast tracking ability. The algorithm has been verified on a photovoltaic system, A review of various MPPT algorithms is proposed with more focus on above two algorithms.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,

radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional

the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
This document proposes a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar photovoltaic systems that can operate under partial shading conditions. It begins by reviewing existing MPPT methods and their limitations in partial shading scenarios. It then models the photovoltaic system and designs a boost converter for interfacing solar panels with the grid. The proposed PSO-based MPPT algorithm modifies the standard PSO to track the global maximum power point under non-uniform irradiance.

formations are confined to the basin shelf, clearly separated from the deeper-water iron formation that
accumulated at the basin margin and flanking the marine basin. Geochemical data procured in terms of
major, trace and REE are plotted in various diagrams to interpret the genesis of BIFs. Al2O3, Fe2O3 (T),
TiO2, CaO, and SiO2 abundances and ratios show a wide variation. Ni, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Rb, Sr, U, Th,
ΣREE, La, Ce and Eu anomalies and their binary relationships indicate that wherever the terrigenous
component has increased, the concentration of elements of felsic such as Zr and Hf has gone up. Elevated
concentrations of Ni, Co and Sc are contributed by chlorite and other components characteristic of basic
volcanic debris. The data suggest that these formations were generated by chemical and clastic
sedimentary processes on a shallow shelf. During transgression, chemical precipitation took place at the
sediment-water interface, whereas at the time of regression. Iron ore formed with sedimentary structures
and textures in Kammatturu area, in a setting where the water column was oxygenated.

Non linear analysis of Robot Gun Support Structure using Equivalent Dynamic A...IJMER
Robot guns are being increasingly employed in automotive manufacturing to replace
risky jobs and also to increase productivity. Using a single robot for a single operation proves to be
expensive. Hence for cost optimization, multiple guns are mounted on a single robot and multiple
operations are performed. Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done
simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of
dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld
locations. The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G
force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and
subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating
procedure when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical
aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone
meshing .

This paper present an approach based on the combination of, two techniques using
decision tree and Association rule mining for Probe attack detection. This approach proves to be
better than the traditional approach of generating rules for fuzzy expert system by clustering methods.
Association rule mining for selecting the best attributes together and decision tree for identifying the
best parameters together to create the rules for fuzzy expert system. After that rules for fuzzy expert
system are generated using association rule mining and decision trees. Decision trees is generated for
dataset and to find the basic parameters for creating the membership functions of fuzzy inference
system. Membership functions are generated for the probe attack. Based on these rules we have
created the fuzzy inference system that is used as an input to neuro-fuzzy system. Fuzzy inference
system is loaded to neuro-fuzzy toolbox as an input and the final ANFIS structure is generated for
outcome of neuro-fuzzy approach. The experiments and evaluations of the proposed method were
done with NSL-KDD intrusion detection dataset. As the experimental results, the proposed approach

Natural Language Ambiguity and its Effect on Machine LearningIJMER
This document discusses natural language ambiguity and its effect on machine learning. It begins by introducing different types of ambiguity that exist in natural languages, including lexical, syntactic, semantic, discourse, and pragmatic ambiguities. It then examines how these ambiguities present challenges for computational linguistics and machine translation systems. Specifically, it notes that ambiguity is a major problem for computers in processing human language as they lack the world knowledge and context that humans use to resolve ambiguities. The document concludes by outlining the typical process of machine translation and how ambiguities can interfere with tasks like analysis, transfer, and generation of text in the target language.

Material Parameter and Effect of Thermal Load on Functionally Graded CylindersIJMER
The present study investigates the creep in a thick-walled composite cylinders made
up of aluminum/aluminum alloy matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The distribution
of SiCp is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of
the cylinder. The creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep
law with a stress exponent of 5. The composite cylinders are subjected to internal pressure which is
applied gradually and steady state condition of stress is assumed. The creep parameters required to
be used in creep law, are extracted by conducting regression analysis on the available experimental
results. The mathematical models have been developed to describe steady state creep in the composite
cylinder by using von-Mises criterion. Regression analysis is used to obtain the creep parameters
required in the study. The basic equilibrium equation of the cylinder and other constitutive equations
have been solved to obtain creep stresses in the cylinder. The effect of varying particle size, particle
content and temperature on the stresses in the composite cylinder has been analyzed. The study
revealed that the stress distributions in the cylinder do not vary significantly for various combinations
of particle size, particle content and operating temperature except for slight variation observed for
varying particle content. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) emerged and led to the development
of superior heat resistant materials.

B.1 Improved P&O With Fixed Perturb:
In this technique, instead of utilizing the array
voltage or current as the perturbed signal, the converter duty
ratio is used. This eases the control process as it eliminates
the PI/hysteresis controller after the MPPT block, enabling
direct control of the converter’s duty cycle. The perturb step
is fixed and designer dependent. Hence, the previously
mentioned trade off problem still persists. In order to
improve the performance of P&O techniques, the modified
calculation of the perturb value is utilized instead of the
fixed values. The Improved P&O techniques review are Figure7: P-V Curve with different irradiations

The effect of temperature variations on the V-I
characteristics of the PV cell is shown in figure.8. A
marginal variation in current is observed for a temperature
variation from 25°C to 65°C for a voltage up to 65Volts.
Above this value the current decreases in a sharp manner for
small variation in voltage. It is further seen that the voltage
