Authors:

The power supply is a common used electronic device in the world. Most of the power supplies are in the from of laptop chargers, cell phone adaptors, computer supplies and lab AC-DC supplies. The project goal was to achieve the minimum 5V output and maximum 30V. This variable power supply was one of its own kind. This design was independent of MOSFET or the voltage regulator transistor. In fact simple voltage divider law was used to get the output. The design was implanted on a 4X12 size Veroboard and the working was successful. This project was designed on NI Multism 14.2. The project took total of 3 months of design and implementation 2

May 2025 · Electrical Engineering

This work investigates a novel metaheuristic design of an adaptive control technique to enhance the compensation capability of the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). The proposed artificial neural network (ANN) is integrated with Corona virus herd immunity optimizer to extract the fundamental quantity from polluted grid. The optimally developed Adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) model is ... [Show full abstract] implemented for dc voltage regulation under dynamics. The drawback of traditional system SRF-PI has manual intervention for tuning and mathematical modeling. The conventional SFR-PI-based DVR is not a failsafe mechanism for supply voltage variation conditions. In the proposed design of DVR, Feedforward-ANN interconnected weights are optimized by Corona virus herd immunity algorithm for forecasting the fundamental weight quantity and ANFIS is optimized by Hybrid learning to improve the performance of controller. The model performance is evaluated by employing the statistical indices such as mean square error, root mean square error, mean error, standard deviation and Regression (R). ANFIS controllers are used to regulate DC and AC voltage link and its efficacy is measured with improved rise time (Tr), fast settle time (Ts) and less overshoot of 0.074, 6.46%, and 0.24 s, respectively. Compared to the conventional control strategies, ANN-ANFIS-based DVR performs better by improving the output voltage profiles and producing less THD of 2.13%. The simulation and experimental results are discussed to measure the efficacy of proposed control scheme.

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems, into the power grid has introduced challenges related to energy variability, grid stability, and energy management. Supercapacitor-battery hybrid storage systems (SBHSS) have emerged as an effective solution to address these issues by combining the high energy density of batteries with the high-power ... [Show full abstract] density and fast response of supercapacitors. This paper explores the potential of SBHSS in grid-tied PV setups to enhance energy management and system stability. Batteries provide long-term energy storage and support sustained power delivery, while supercapacitors handle rapid fluctuations and transient spikes, thereby reducing the strain on batteries and extending their lifespan. A hybrid energy management strategy is proposed, which integrates real-time monitoring, adaptive power control, and dynamic load balancing to optimize energy flow between the PV array, supercapacitor, and battery. The proposed system minimizes power losses, improves grid frequency and voltage regulation, and enhances the reliability of power delivery during sudden load changes or cloud cover events. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the SBHSS can effectively smooth PV power output, reduce battery cycling stress, and improve overall system efficiency. The hybrid system also ensures faster response to grid disturbances, thereby improving grid resilience and reducing reliance on conventional backup sources. The combination of supercapacitors and batteries enables a more balanced and stable power supply, ensuring that renewable energy sources are efficiently integrated into the grid. This research highlights the practical advantages of SBHSS in grid-tied PV applications and provides insights into system design, control strategies, and performance improvements, paving the way for more sustainable and resilient power systems.

Detection algorithm for induced voltage in primary winding of transformer

April 2025 · Journal of Physics Conference Series

The electromagnetic environment of power systems is complex, and under the influence of the principle of minimum magnetic current, the simulation effect of reducing the cutoff frequency of frequency-doubled signals is compromised, leading to inconsistent resonance conditions and low accuracy in voltage detection results. In response to these issues, a detection algorithm for the induced voltage ... [Show full abstract] in the primary winding of a transformer is proposed. By applying a resonance boosting algorithm, a withstand voltage test method is employed where a 3x frequency test voltage is directly applied to the primary winding of the transformer, and the test voltage is measured again directly using a capacitive voltage divider. Test reactors, excitation transformers, capacitive voltage dividers, and variable frequency power supply devices are selected to ensure that the test circuit meets the resonance condition at the 3x frequency. Field test results demonstrate that the test voltage frequency obtained by the proposed algorithm meets the requirements for a 3x frequency test voltage, and the detection results of the induced voltage in the primary winding are more accurate. This algorithm is well-suited for frequency-doubled withstand voltage tests of transformers rated at 500kV and above. It is of great significance for ensuring the safe and stable operation of power systems.

Emergency Support Scheme for Sudden Voltage Drops in Low-Voltage Distribution Networks

May 2025 · Recent Advances in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Formerly Recent Patents on Electrical & Electronic Engineering)

Background With the continuous increase in the penetration rate of distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks, the pressure on energy supply has been effectively alleviated. However, its impact on the voltage of distribution networks is gradually becoming apparent, and traditional reactive power voltage support methods are struggling to meet the requirements for fast and flexible ... [Show full abstract] voltage regulation in modern distribution networks with high DG penetration. Objective To accommodate the integration of DGs with high penetration rates and enhance the voltage support capability of the distribution network, an emergency voltage support scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme takes into account the impedance properties of the distribution network and focuses on low-voltage distribution networks. Method This paper proposes a voltage support scheme for low-voltage distribution networks, taking into account the resistive characteristics of distribution lines. Based on the distribution network impedance ratio (R/X), the optimal active and reactive current reference values are estimated. A voltage support strategy is planned according to the severity of the voltage drop, providing coordinated voltage support by simultaneously delivering active and reactive power during voltage sags and fault conditions. Result A digital-physical hybrid experimental platform and a simulation model of the low-voltage distribution network were established to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The results indicate that the voltage support capability of the proposed scheme is superior to that of traditional reactive power voltage support methods. Conclusion The low-voltage distribution network voltage support scheme proposed in this paper considers the distribution network impedance ratio to calculate the required injected active and reactive power, thereby providing maximum support to the voltage. In addition, the active and reactive currents are adjusted according to the severity of the voltage drop using a droop curve. The effectiveness of the proposed method on the operation of the distribution network is validated through simulations. The scheme can effectively provide voltage support during voltage dips in the distribution network, preventing voltage instability.
