abstract = {Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular, due to their beneficial environmental effects and low operating costs. However, one of the main challenges with EVs is their short battery life. This study presents a comprehensive approach for predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of Nickel Manganese Cobalt-Lithium Cobalt Oxide (NMC-LCO) batteries. This research utilizes a dataset derived from the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, encompassing 14 individual batteries subjected to over 1000 cycles under controlled conditions. A multi-step methodology is adopted, starting with data collection and preprocessing, followed by feature selection and outlier elimination. Machine learning models, including XGBoost, BaggingRegressor, LightGBM, CatBoost, and ExtraTreesRegressor, are employed to develop the RUL prediction model. Feature importance analysis aids in identifying critical parameters influencing battery health and lifespan. Statistical evaluations reveal no missing or duplicate data, and outlier removal enhances model accuracy. Notably, XGBoost emerged as the most effective algorithm, providing near-perfect predictions. This research underscores the significance of RUL prediction for enhancing battery lifecycle management, particularly in applications like electric vehicles, ensuring optimal resource utilization, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability.},

abstract = {One of the most useful renewable energy sources is wind, from which electrical power can be generated using a turbine system for long periods. The reliability of a wind turbine mainly depends on the maintenance work carried out at the site. The Status Surveillance System (SSS) is an important factor for wind turbines to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to the end user. However, the condition monitoring system based on the Wireless Sensor Node (WSN), housed with the current sensor node, is more vulnerable to failure due to circumstantial faults. Due to sensor faults, the data used for decision-making on maintenance are corrupted. This paper devises a robust and reliable mechanism called Sensor Failure Identification and Segregation (SFIS) to detect and detach corrupted data to effectively perform work related to wind turbine failure detection. The short-circuit fault is addressed by a wavelet transient approach to restore the corrupted data, while the invariable anomaly fault is analyzed with the help of the cross-correlation method. Hence, the interference fault can be analyzed using a dynamic time-warping approach. The proposed mechanism is compared with the existing Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) method that uses Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to prove its reliability and robustness. SFIS offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for wind turbine maintenance work.},

abstract = {The depletion of fossil fuels worldwide is driving the acceleration of renewable power energy systems, particularly those based on photovoltaics (PV). To enhance the voltage output from PV electricity systems for grid-linked inverters, a dc-dc boost converter can be employed. However, traditional boost converters face various challenges, leading to the proposal of several configurations aimed at improving their boosting capabilities. One such configuration is the Quasi impedance (Z)-source dc-dc converter, derived from the conventional impedance (Z)-source converter by incorporating a switch and diode at the output terminals. Compared to existing Z-source configurations, this converter operates with a small duty cycle (less than 0.25), resulting in a higher boosting factor and avoiding instability caused by inductor saturation. Moreover, it requires fewer passive components, leading to reduced losses, increased power density, and cost reduction. This paper discusses the features of the proposed converter and its functioning in continuous current conduction mode.},

The brushless DC motors have many advantages when compared to induction motors and conventional DC motors, such as better speed control, noiseless operation, high efficiency, less maintenance, and a long life. Along with these benefits, there is one major disadvantage known as cogging, which causes undesirable effects in the motor such as noises and vibrations. BLDC motors have been widely used in automation and industrial applications due to their attractive features. There are certain parameters to be considered while designing a BLDC motor, such as its dimensions, number of windings turns, type of magnetic materials used, required torque, output current, slot-to-depth ratio, efficiency, temperature rise, etc.},

abstract = {Integrating wind energy forecasting into urban city energy management systems offers significant potential for optimizing energy usage, reducing the carbon footprint, and improving overall energy efficiency. This article focuses on developing a wind power forecasting model using cutting-edge technologies to enhance urban city energy management systems. To effectively manage wind energy availability, a strategy is proposed to curtail energy consumption during periods of low wind energy availability and boost consumption during periods of high wind energy availability. For this purpose, an LSTM-based model is employed to forecast short-term wind power, leveraging a publicly available dataset. The LSTM model is trained with 27,310 instances and 10 wind energy system attributes, which were selected using the Pearson correlation feature selection method to identify crucial features. The evaluation of the LSTM-based forecasting model yields an impressive R2 score of 0.9107. The model’s performance metrics attest to its high accuracy, explaining a substantial proportion of the variance in the test data. This study not only contributes to advancing wind power forecasting, but also holds promise for sustainable urban energy management, enabling cities to make informed decisions in optimizing energy consumption and promoting a greener, more resilient future.},

Analysis of Facebook posts provides valuable information for social media users. The main objective of this study is to predict social media performance metrics using Facebook data. Machine learning (ML) will recognise patterns and then make predictions with better accuracy. The dataset for Facebook metrics utilised in this study was obtained from the UCI ML repository. The dataset consists of 500 instances with 19 attributes. The performance of the brand’s Facebook page has been predicted using the attribute “total interactions” as a goal variable. For prediction, the methods Light Gradient Boosting and random forest (RF), AdaBoost and XGBoost ML algorithms have been employed. A heatmap has been used to observe the correlation between the different features. It is observed that based on regression evaluation metrics, the XGBoost -based regression model performs better.},

abstract = {Multiple-level inverters are often used in extreme voltages and high-energy applications because of their excellent efficiency lately. Because of the considerable quantity of semiconductor switches involved in powers conversion, multilevel inverters (MLIs) are more likely to experience switch faults. Therefore, it is essential to find and discover defects as soon as possible. In this context, a technique depending on the level-shifted pulse width modulations (PWM) methodology is developed for diagnosing open-circuits errors in H-bridges multiple-level inverters (HMLI). Instead of utilizing an algorithm to detect faults, the proposed method uses subtle fault features and only requires a little amount of logical judgment. The loads current and H-bridges outputs voltages are utilized to diagnose faults.},

abstract = {The characteristics of a PV (photovoltaic) module is non-linear and vary with nature. The tracking of maximum power point (MPP) at various atmospheric conditions is essential for the reliable operation of solar-integrated power generation units. This paper compares the most widely used maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques such as the perturb and observe method (P&O), incremental conductance method (INC), fuzzy logic controller method (FLC), neural network (NN) model, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system method (ANFIS) with the modern approach of the hybrid method (neural network + P&O) for PV systems. The hybrid method combines the strength of the neural network and P&O in a single framework. The PV system is composed of a PV panel, converter, MPPT unit, and load modelled using MATLAB/Simulink. These methods differ in their characteristics such as convergence speed, ease of implementation, sensors used, cost, and range of efficiencies. Based on all these, performances are evaluated. In this analysis, the drawbacks of the methods are studied, and wastage of the panel’s available output energy is observed. The hybrid technique concedes a spontaneous recovery during dynamic changes in environmental conditions. The simulation results illustrate the improvements obtained by the hybrid method in comparison to other techniques.},

abstract = {This paper presents a boost DC-DC converter topology with non - isolated high gain and output midpoint, to boost the voltage obtained from solar photovoltaic panels. The three-level boost converter is coupled to the output port of the single-switch quadratic boost converter to derive the proposed converter topology. The voltage gain of the proposed converter is greater than that of the classical boost converter. The voltage stress on the switches of the proposed converter is equal to half of the converter output voltage. Static analysis, operating modes, experimental waveforms in continuous current conduction and discontinuous current conduction modes are shown. A 520 W prototype converter was implemented in the laboratory and its results are presented.},

abstract = {The separation of waste materials into degradable and non-degradable waste is one of the major issues in our country. As the plastic materials cause major harm to the humans as well as the environment it should be separated and effectively recycled. The non-degradable plastic wastes do not allow the rain water to pass through it thereby decreasing the ground water level. If these wastes are burnt, it emits carbon monoxide which is harmful to the humans. Our project is to encourage the people to dump and segregate the waste materials in their households using smart bins. The separation of the plastic waste is done by using capacitive type proximity sensor and ultrasonic sensor. In order to encourage the people to collect and segregate the waste materials, in large amount, they are rewarded for the amount of waste that they collect and segregate. The amount of waste collected is displayed in the website and in their mobile phones with the amount of reward points earned. The customers redeem their reward points in the shops mentioned in the website.},

abstract = {Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System devices have numerous applications in electrical transmission lines like improvement of voltage stability, reactive power compensation, congestion management, Available Transfer Capacity enhancement, real power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and much more. The effectiveness of these FACTS devices is enhanced by the placement of these devices in the transmission lines. The placement is based on transmission line sensitivity factors such as Bus voltage stability index and line voltage stability index. This research article focuses on optimizing the location, number and ratings of FACTS devices using Evolutionary Algorithms like Bacterial Foraging Algorithm and Gravitational search algorithm. FACTS devices such as Static Var Compensator, Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor and Unified Power Flow Controller are placed on IEEE 14 bus and IEEE 30 bus systems for reducing the real power loss in the transmission system. The results show that the performance of the transmission lines is enhanced more using Bacterial Foraging Algorithm than Gravitational Search Algorithm.},

abstract = {The maximum electrical energy conversion efficiency of the Solar PV panel is up to 22% in normal conventional roof- top system under the temperature of 25˚C on Standard Test Condition (STC). In Indian climatic conditions, the atmospheric temperature is mostly above 35˚C to 45˚C, it incites 35˚C to 80˚C temperature on the PV panel. The black body of the PV panel absorbs more heat. This temperature affects the electrical efficiency of the panel significantly. This paper proposes the mathematical modelling of the solar PV panel for different solar irradiation and the temperature. The experimental evaluation is conducted in the latitude of 11.36 (N) and longitude 77.82 (E). The testing and monitoring was done with LabVIEW based National Instruments hardware such as NI cDAQ-9178, NI DAQ - 9227 and NI DAQ 9225. The comparative study between the simulated result and real time hardware results are discussed in this paper. The test result shows that the output of the proposed model mismatches with the experimental output of the solar PV panel due to the negative correlation between the efficiency and temperature for variable irradiation condition. It shows a power difference of 9.41W between the output of the proposed model and the experimental setup.},

abstract = {<p>Multilevel inverters are used in high power and medium voltage applications. Employing multilevel inverter with renewable energy alone, the voltage balance cannot be made because the number of level increases in multilevel inverter the control gets complexity. So voltage imbalance problems are introduced. The voltage imbalance problems can be classified into two types; Midpoint unbalance and the central capacitor discharge. These problems can be solved by using voltage balancing solutions. The solutions are hardware based; software based, and combined solutions. By using these types of solutions the voltage balancing problems can be solved and the efficiency of multilevel inverter could be high. This paper reviews about various voltage balancing solutions in multilevel inverter.<strong></strong></p>},
