The Floating Solar Photovoltaic System (FSPV) is emerging as a favorable technology to policymakers for economically harvesting renewable energy. The implementation of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is often disrupted due to the unavailability of land. The FSPV systems, where the PV modules are floated in water bodies facilitate optimal utilization of water resources and land assets. The FSPV provides higher power output compared to land-based PV systems of the equal area because of improved energy conversion efficiency at a lower temperature. Another opportunity for the FSPV system is integration with hydropower stations, storage systems, and the electric grid. This paper explores the flood duration curve-based optimal sizing of the FSPV System with the objective of electrification of rural micro-grid. A comparison of energy output and module temperature rise has been made for the FSPV system and its equivalent land-based PV system of equal area. The system generates 18.08 GWh, which is 10.04% more than the land-based PV system. The DC Capacity factor is 17.2%. The Demand Supply Factor ( DSF ) for a particular day in winter, spring, summer, and monsoon is 37.55%, 41.7%, 45.9%, and 25% respectively. The results indicate that the FSPV system is a sustainable alternative to power renewable energy-based mini micro-grid and provide cost effective electricity to all.

Due to their minimal environmental impact, green energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels are increasingly utilized in power systems. However, the power they generate is highly variable, leading to unpredictable fluctuations in power supply. Additionally, advanced smart functions in consumer devices and their unpredictable usage patterns contribute to similar fluctuations in power consumption. These fluctuations present a significant challenge to the stability and quality of the power grid, creating a complex issue of power imbalance that becomes harder to manage. Innovative management and control approaches are necessary to address these challenges and thus support the shift to sustainable energy sources. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly proposed as promising solutions, albeit mostly implemented as isolated solutions within centralized power control systems. To effectively manage the complex and often large scale power systems, this paper advocates the use of a Distributed AI (DAI) framework as imperative in enhancing their agility and stability. An illustrative Nano-Grid example (including the potential use of battery sources in extreme scenarios) is adopted to demonstrate the framework's utility, and a number of power control strategies to safeguard the power system against the variability of both power generators and loads are theoretically formulated and then realized within the proposed framework. Linear Programming, Ant Colony Optimization, Genetic Algorithms, and Particle Swarm Optimization techniques are experimented with, and through simulations, the utility of the DAI framework is demonstrated. The findings underscore the effectiveness and potential benefits of the proposed framework in ensuring the safe and effective operation of power systems with the use of particle swarm optimization amid fluctuating energy scenarios with a small to large number of devices in the nano-grid.INDEX TERMS Distributed AI, power fluctuations, distributed power sources, distributed power loads, power balance, power control. I. INTRODUCTIONT HE increasing awareness of fossil fuel depletion, rising energy consumption, and global warming has accelerated the development of renewable energy sources (RESs), such as wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These RESs are crucial for the future of energy systems due to their minimal environmental impact. However, integrating these RESs into the power grid presents challenges, particularly in terms of unpredictable power swings. These swings result from the inherent variability of RESs, influenced by factors like device constraints and weather conditions. The problem is expected to intensify as the use of RESs is projected to increase from 20% to 50% by 2050. The variability of renewable energy generation, coupled with the continually

Savings in using electric fuel in the use of fossil fuel electricity must be reduced. This research was conducted as an effort to save the use of electricity by using solar power plants as the main source, with the making of this research it is hoped that it can be used for electricity consumption at a more economical cost and the use of electric stoves can be used in daily life. The selection of materials and this research can be seen from the existing literature and field studies. Solar power plants in this study use some equipment such as solar panels that by utilizing solar energy will be a source of initial voltage, a regulator control battery as a regulator of electric power charging to the battery (battery), battery (battery) as a storage of electrical power, and an inverter for convert the dc to ac voltage from the battery (battery). The equipment is the main equipment used to turn on the electric stove which is the main burden in this application. This research is expected to be a reference for the use of solar energy for electric stoves in an effort to save electricity. This equipment also refers to the amount of power used on an electric stove of 300 W, with an observation time of 7 hours a day, so that it will produce a current that flows at 6.8 A, and a voltage of 17.3 Volts which occurs at 11.00 WIB
