Electrical energy usage has drastically increased in recent decades, resulting in significant demand for renewable energy sources, especially solar. With the development of technology, extracting energy from photovoltaic (PV) modules has become easier and more economical. The performance of PV array decreases under an intermittent environment such as partial shading conditions (PSCs), causing fluctuations in PV array power output. This paper presents the analysis of a 4×4 PV array configuration under different PSCs. The power output of PV array depends on factors such as the type of configuration, size of array, and shading patterns. The performance of various types of 4×4 PV array configurations under different shading situations are compared and analyzed in this study, and the results presented.
People who are visually impaired have a hard time navigating their surroundings, recognizing objects, and avoiding hazards on their own since they do not know what is going on in their immediate surroundings. We have devised a new method of delivering assistance to people who are blind in their quest to improve their vision. An affordable, compact, and easy-to-use Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ was chosen to demonstrate how the proposed prototype works. All of this is made possible by a camera and sensors and the most modern image processing algorithmic methods available. A camera and ultrasonic sensors are utilized to measure the distance between the user and the object. Using a global positioning system (GPS), it is also possible to track down people who are blind or have impaired vision (GPS). Consider the possibility of making this a for-profit product. Small and light, it may be fitted to a regular pair of spectacles without incurring additional fees or posing any further difficulties.
The Smart Grid model uses energy from renewable sources and utilities to manage energy in a way that ensures uninterrupted power supply for users. In order to operate independently from the main power grid, a DC micro grid is a small power system that generates and uses its own DC electricity. Solar panels, fuel cells, and wind turbines are the most typical power sources for DC micro grids, with batteries used to store any extra energy. The independence of the power grid is one feature of a DC micro grid that promotes increased lifetime. Building owners have more latitude to pursue their sustainability goals since they have control over the production, delivery, and consumption of power. Super-twisting provides a dependable method and an effective instrument for the control of uncertain nonlinear systems by addressing the basic flaws of conventional sliding mode control, notably large control effort and chattering. Fractional order controllers provide greater design freedom than conventional integer order controllers. The purpose of this work was to create a metastable-smart grid(MSSG) user end model that could dynamically manage and optimize energy produced by renewable energy sources and the utility to ensure that customers always have access to electricity. Controlling these many power sources using MSSG and delivering energy in accordance with each user’s unique power plan is the responsibility of the central control unit of the distribution grid. The supply is only switched to solar by the central control unit if a user’s power consumption falls below a predetermined threshold. Giving consumers with less purchasing power more clout as a result.
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.
