In this paper, DC to DC and DC to AC converters are used, including a boost converter and a PWM single-phase full bridge inverter, respectively. The purpose of these power converters is to fulfill the desired results acquired from the PV, a source. The voltages generated by the PV are regulated using a boost converter that steps the voltages up to the desired level. These DC voltages are converted to AC voltages by passing them through a DC-to-AC converter to supply the load with power, also known as an inverter. Similarly, the battery, as another source in parallel to the PV system, is used to keep the hold on the charges/ energy. A switching topology is used to deal with all modes of conditions into which this system is driven. The power is supplied to and from the PV to the load, to the battery, and vice versa. Furthermore, an algorithm and a controller are used to overcome the fluctuations caused in the voltages. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). PSO helps the LQR set the gain to supply the load with constant and desired voltages by providing the best values. Eventually, an impedance model of this entire project is designed to make comparisons and to get fruitful results.</p> 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/cr https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/article/view/735 Fault Detection of Electrical Machines Rolling Element and Prediction through AI 2022-12-29T12:52:50+00:00 Mureed Hussain mureedsargana@gmail.com Ali Suqrat alisuqrat600@gmail.com Muhammad Shaheer Amir Bajwa sherybajwa212@gmail.com Kainat Fatima fkainat08@gmail.com <p>The research examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning can identify a minor rolling element problem (hole and scratch). Keeping track of a machine's health makes it possible to spot problems before they become costly, unscheduled production process shutdowns. In the study, a multi-stage decision mechanism was built using the convolution neural network (CNN) model.</p> 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/cr https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/article/view/736 IoT Based Distributive Control of Parallel Connected Sources in Stand-Alone Microgrid 2022-12-31T06:17:01+00:00 Mureed Hussain mureedsargana@gmail.com Zhong Xeng mureedsargana@gmail.com Muhammad Saad Mahmood zahidsaad288@gmail.com Muhammad Shaheer Amir Bajwa sherybajwa212@gmail.com Ali Raza Chaligujjar99@gmail.com <p>Circulating currents in a DC micro-primary grid should be reduced to improve load distribution among sources and voltage management. Several centralized and decentralized control schemes have been proposed in the literature as remedies for the problem. A high bandwidth communication link can assist centralized design in achieving the desired result, but a single point of failure can negatively impact performance and reliability. Due to their ignorance of the parallel-connected sources, microgrids in decentralized designs cannot offer simultaneous current sharing and voltage management. This study solves the challenge with a distributed control system for parallel connected sources in a dc micro-grid<em>.</em></p> 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/cr https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/article/view/737 A Novel High Voltage Direct Current Transmission and Protection System 2022-12-31T07:04:24+00:00 Illeyun Zaman illeyun.zaman12@gmail.com Abdul Basit illeyun.zaman12@gmail.com <p>From the start of time, electricity has been transmitted using the traditional method of AC transmission over large distances. But using this transmission technique, there are many issues and disadvantages, including transmission losses and having an extremely small power factor due to transmission line material.&nbsp; To remedy these losses, researchers plan to devise another transmission system named a high voltage direct current (HVDC).&nbsp; Using the HVDC system, bulk power can be transmitted over a large distance without losses and with greater efficiency. Using this method, the cost is also improved, and the security is overwhelmed. The purpose is to devise such a system and simulate the HVDC system under various parameters of system protection and fault conditions. To simulate the research, MATLAB/SIMULINK tool is exploited and verified, which shows better performance than AC transmission.</p> 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/cr https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/article/view/794 System Design to Enhance the Efficiency of Power System Protection 2023-01-25T07:33:31+00:00 Joshua Wang jwang@dumy.com Syed Asad Hussain Shah 70094259@student.uol.edu.pk <p>There are several chances to enhance the effectiveness of power system protection with wide area monitoring (WAM). Some of these prospects and the driving force behind their growth are discussed in this essay. Monitoring the adequacy of relay characteristics, supervisory backup protection control, more intelligent and adaptive system protection, and developing a unique system integrity protection scheme are some ways. Because of the new issues facing the security of modern power systems, WAM presents the appealing potential for strengthening protection. It is getting more and harder to choose a relay which suits well for the loading circumstances and eventualities due to the increasingly diverse operating conditions of power systems. The oversight of protecting the backup help improve instrument for averting or reducing the scope of shutdowns since the malfunction of relays has led to the onset and progression of 70% of blackouts. Modern power networks are becoming increasingly interconnected and complicated, which has increased their susceptibility to large-scale disruptions and led to several recent shutdowns.</p> 2023-01-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 https://pjosr.com/index.php/pjosr/cr
