The voltage generated by power plants is increased using step-up transformers and then transferred using high-voltage transmission lines. In a distribution system, the voltage is stepped down to certain levels and is utilized by consumers. The losses in distribution networks are very high compared with the transmission line losses because of the hi...

Electricity remains one of the most vital resources for industrial, domestic, and agricultural applications. However, electricity theft has emerged as a significant challenge, contributing to substantial power losses and severe economic repercussions for utility companies. This study examines the role of smart meters (SMs) in minimizing electricity...

The increasing demand for electricity, coupled with the limitations of centralised power generation, has necessitated the transition towards smart grid technologies as a critical evolution of traditional power systems. The smart grid represents a significant transformation from the conventional grid, offering a pathway towards modernising energy in...

Renewable energy sources are increasingly being embraced due to their environmental advantages, characterized by clean energy production, including solar energy, fuel cells, and wind turbines. High step-up DC-DC converters are commonly employed in conjunction with these sources to elevate their unregulated output voltage to a high and regulated lev...

In recent decades, the demand for electricity has continuously increased. Power generation facilities are predominantly situated at substantial distances from consumption centers, necessitating transmission over extensive, high-voltage lines. Such configurations lead to significant energy losses and diminished capacity and capability of transmissio...

Due to the unavoidable spreading of covid-19 and even taking all substantial measures, the infected ratio and the expiry rate of lives seem uncontrolled. In this aggravated situation, it seems crucial to take extraordinary measures to deal with the extraordinary pandemic situation, and it is only possible if the actual pandemic propagation ratio is...

Transmission lines are among the most important power grid equipment in which their removal can lead to subsequent outages. One of the situations which lead to blackouts is multiple line outages. Therefore, multiple line outage detections (MLOD) are a necessity in the power system for protection actions. This paper proposes a fuzzy inference system...

Growing demand for renewable energy is the main reason behind the dramatic developments in solar cells with different features that have been witnessed in recent years. However, the existence of defects and impurities in the material-based solar cell-especially Si-strongly affects the solar cell performance. A high series resistance (Rs) resulted f...
