inverters, which convert solar-cell DC into domestic-use AC, are one of the key technologies for
delivering efficient AC power The hardware and software design are oriented towards a single-chip
microcontroller-based system, hence minimizing the size and cost. With this new approach the
modularization of the conversion from solar power to electric power at its maximum power point can

A sudden loss of power will disrupt most business operations, it is not only total mains failures or
‘blackouts’ which can trigger devastating effects. Many electrical loads, for example computer
systems, are equally susceptible to power sags, brown-outs, black-outs, power spikes and surges,
noise and radio frequency interference, and supply frequency changes.
Such loads are often referred to as ‘critical loads’, partly because their continuous operation is
fundamental to the functioning of the business, and also because they require a more stable and
reliable power source than that generally offered by the utility mains supply in order to guarantee
their correct function.
Critical Load Applications
The numbers and types of load falling into the ‘critical’ category are rapidly expanding as an
ever increasing range of microprocessor-based equipment enters both the industrial and commercial
marketplaces. This is typified by the growth of on-line transaction processing and Ecommerce
where 24 hour trading demands absolute power quality with zero downtime.
Among typical critical loads are:
• Computers – e.g. data processing and control systems.
• Industrial process equipment – e.g. precision manufacturing.
• Medical equipment – e.g. life support and monitoring systems.
• Telecommunications network equipment – e.g. PABX.
• Point of sales (POS) terminals – e.g retailing environment.
• On-line business transactions – e.g. internet shopping.
The effects of an inadequate supply to a critical load can include:
• Cessation of the business process – i.e. a total inability to trade and/or communicate
• data loss or corruption due to software crashing
• Expensive hardware failure including component damage – e.g. due to power sags,
spikes etc.
• Production loss due to incorrect operation of a manufacturing process and possible
production equipment damage
• Inappropriate control system operation
• Lost business due to failed POS or telecommunications equipment
• Possible time penalty paid to repair/reset affected systems

X ray generators use a high voltage transformer and rectifier circuit to power an x-ray tube. The transformer steps up the voltage from around 100-200V from the generator to over 100,000V needed by the tube. A filament transformer separately supplies around 10V to heat the tube filament and cause electron emission. Controls select the voltage and exposure time. The transformer and rectifiers are immersed in oil for insulation given the high voltages involved. Rectification converts the AC output to DC to allow current flow in only one direction through the tube.

Super critical power plants operate above the critical point where there is no distinction between liquid and gas phases. They have higher efficiencies of around 45-47% compared to 38% for subcritical plants due to higher turbine inlet temperatures and pressures above 240 atm. Once-through boilers without drums are better suited for supercritical conditions as they allow forced circulation through all sections compared to drum-type boilers. Super critical plants improve efficiency but have higher capital costs.

In this proposed method high efficiency can be achievedby using only one switch functioning at high frequency at a time. The converter uses IGBT and ultra-fast reverse recovery diode. The simulation and experiment results are verified using MATLAB/Simulink software.
High Reliability and Efficiency Single phase Transformerless Inverter for Gri...Anoop kumar Niravuparambil
TODAY, the energy demand is increasing due to the rapid increase of the human population and fast-growing industries. Hence, renewable energy plays an important role to replace traditional natural resources such as fuel and coal. Photovoltaic (PV) energy has recently become a common interest of research because it is free, green, and inexhaustible.
Generally, there are two types of grid-connected PV systems, i.e., those with transformer and without transformer. Besides stepping up the voltage, it plays an important role in safety purpose by providing galvanic isolation, and thus eliminating leakage current and avoiding dc current injection into the grid. Nevertheless, the transformers are bulky, heavy, and expensive. Even though significant size, weight and reduces the efficiency of the entire PV system. Hence, transformerless PV systems are introduced to overcome these issues. They are smaller, lighter, lower in cost, and highly efficient
However, safety issue is the main concern for the transformerless PV systems due to high leakage current. Without galvanic isolation, a direct path can be formed for the leakage current to flow from the PV to the grid. At the same time, the fluctuating potential, also known as common-mode voltage (CMV), charges and discharges the stray capacitance which generates high leakage current. This will introduce losses in the PV system. There are many methods available for reducing this leakage current. Here are some inverter topologies are proposed, in-order to achieve High efficiency for the grid connected photovoltaic system

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a novel high step-up converter suitable for renewable energy systems. The converter uses an interleaved boost converter combined with a voltage multiplier module composed of switched capacitors and coupled inductors to achieve high step-up gain without extreme duty ratios. This configuration reduces current stress and input current ripple. It also recycles leakage energy to improve efficiency and reduce voltage spikes across switches. Experimental results with a 40V input and 380V 1000W output showed an highest efficiency of 97.1%, confirming the converter's suitability for high power renewable applications requiring high step-up conversion.
This paper presents the detail circuitry modeling of single phase off-grid inverter for small standalone system applications. The entire model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink platform using circuitry model. This off grid inverter consists of a high frequency DC-DC step up converter cascaded with a full bridge PI control voltage source inverter using SPWM modulation with LC filter to produce sine wave output. This is a common design used in many small commercial off-grid inverter. This off-grid inverter model is capable to produce AC sinewave output voltage at 230 V 50 Hz up to 1 kW power from a 48 V DC lead acid battery source. The AC sine wave output waveform achieved a voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 1 % which is almost a pure sine wave. The conversion efficiency performance of the off-grid inverter achieved more than 94 %. The performance of the model is validated by real commercial off-grid inverter. The performance validation experiment shows that the off-grid inverter Simulink model conversion efficiency and THD performance are comparable to the commercial off-grid inverter. This model contributes to assist small to medium standalone system load and battery sizing design with greater accuracy.

The intention of this paper is to identify a suitable controller for closed loop multi converter system for multiple input sources and to improve time response of high-gain-step up-converter. Closed-loop Multi Converter System (MCS) is utilized to regulate load-voltage. This effort recommends suitable-controller for closed-two loop-controlled-SEPIC-REBOOST Converter fed DC motor. The estimation of the yield in open-two loop and closed- two-loop-circuit has been done using MATLAB or Simulink.

This senior essay discusses the process of generating electricity from wind turbines in Austin, TX. It begins with wind turbines detecting wind speed, direction and consistency using anemometers. Once conditions are right, the turbine blades pitch to harness the wind, spinning a low-speed shaft connected to a gear box and generator to produce AC power. This is increased in voltage before being transmitted through substations and distribution lines to homes, where transformers further decrease the voltage for residential use.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
2. Power requirement is increasing day by day
due to the maximum power utilization. In order to
meet this demand a large power has to be
generated in an efficient way. A new machine
namely “Powerformer” can do this. The
conventional plant generated voltage is limited to
30KV. This voltage is stepped up to a high voltage
level in the order of 800KV with the help of power
step-up transformers. The step-up transformer
imposes great drawbacks on the power plant,
starting from reduction in efficiency, high
maintenance costs, and more space less
availability.
3. During the last century, a number of attempts
were made at developing a high-voltage
generator that could be connected directly to the
power grid, i.e. without going any step-up
transformer. The powerformer has opened a
new chapter in the generation and transmission
of electrical energy.
4. Powerformer Concept
Innovative Design
The first Powerformer Installation
Advantages of Powerformer
5. Powerformer is a new machine, It is a 3-phase AC
generator with a rotor of conventional design.
The difference compared with conventional generator lies
in the stator windings.
In Powerformer stator winding consists of high-voltage
cables instead of today’s windings with a square cross-
section.
By using high-voltage cables as generator stator winding, it
is possible to highly increase the generated voltage.
The decisive difference between this design and present-
day technology is that Powerformer allows direct
connection to the high-voltage grid.
7. This design implies the omission of the
generator circuit breaker, the high current bus
bar and the step-up power transformer from the
power plant, because Powerformer comprises
the functions of both generator and step-up
transformer as realized from above Figure
As a consequence there is an increase up to
1.5% in total electric power efficiency compared
with today’s best designs, without using
superconductive materials.
8. Powerformer has been designed with several
unique features that allow it to exceed the 30kV
limit, including a winding consisting of power
cables and an innovative stator design.
9. The winding consists of a power cable with solid
insulation and two semiconducting layers, one
surrounds the conductor and the other outside
the insulation.
The insulation material is cross-linked
polyethylene
High-voltage power cables are used in winding.
These cables used to many advantages over
conventional designs

12. The stator of Powerformer consists of a
laminated core.
These laminated core are built up from electrical
sheet.
The winding is located in the slots formed by the
teeth, the cross section of the slots decreases .
The winding turn requires less cable insulation
the closer it is to the rotor.
Each slot has circular bores at intervals, forming
narrow waists between the winding layers, as
shown in Figure below.

is rated at 11 MVA, 45 kV, and 600 rpm. The

18. ABB’s new high-voltage generator (Powerformer)
has been studied the new concept provides the
possibility to directly connect a rotating machine to the
high-voltage power grid without going any step-up
transformer. Powerformer is a high-voltage generator;
the limitation in its rated voltage is set solely by the AC
Power cable and the cable accessories
(terminations and joints) used in its stator winding. This
means that Powerformer of voltage ratings up to 400 kV
can be realized, although has not been proved yet.
