Summary
In this paper, a novel solar‐powered dual‐input multiple‐output (DIMO) DC–DC converter is proposed to feed the power demanded by the grid‐connected three‐phase three‐level (TPTL) T‐type inverter. The concept is to utilize the two coupled inductors, four capacitors, and one three‐winding high‐frequency transformer. The converter is designed to accept two different inputs and to provide three outputs. Two of its output ports are utilized to charge the two battery banks and another one is used to provide the power for the TPTL T‐type inverter at the required level. The coupled inductors and capacitors are made to discharge their stored energy in series with the primary of the three‐winding high‐frequency transformer to achieve high step‐up voltage gain. Besides, fuzzy logic controller (FLC)‐based DC‐link voltage controller and Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory controllers are incorporated to reduce the ripple content in the DC and AC voltages. The different operating modes and steady‐state analyses are presented. Finally, the results of simulated and experimental prototype models are presented to verify the boosting ability and efficiency of the proposed converter.
A green environment is one of the sustainability goals, and all nations are striving hard to make the environment free from pollution. The overwhelming corporate sectors should devise strategies towards promoting and preserving the environment from getting degraded by manufacturing activities. To control the environmental degradation, the industries should devise strategies to attain the goal of the green globe through the sub-goals such as livelihood sustainability, community progression, energy conservation, consumer compatibility, and resources revamp. This chapter explores the possible ways of handling the environmental mishaps, and it throws light on the possible contributions of corporate environmental responsibility and citizen science that involves the participatory approaches of the citizens as a whole. To make a decision on 16 proposed strategies, the hybrid decision-making method on multi goals cum strategies is proposed, and the integrated approach of FUCOM (full consistency method fuzzy additive ration assessment) and fuzzy ARAS (fuzzy additive ratio assessment) is applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
