The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.
Maximum power point tracking and space vector modulation control of quasi-z-s...IJECEIAES

The quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) become one of the most promising power electronic converters for photovoltaic (PV) applications, due to its capability to perform a buck-boost conversion of the input voltage in a single stage. The control strategy based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and proportional integral (PI) controller are well known in grid-connected with traditional configuration but not in qZSI. This paper presents a control strategy for qZSI grid-connected based on the MPPT algorithm and the linear control by PI controllers. This is complemented by the capability to efficiently transfer the harvested power to the grid, ensuring a unity power factor. The proposed control strategy effectively separates the control mechanisms for the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) sides by utilizing the two control variables, the shoot-through duty ratio and the modulation index. An adapted space vector modulation technique is then utilized to generate the switching pulse width modulation (PWM) signals, using these two control variables as inputs. The proposed approach was tested and validated under MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS software.

The voltage deviation is one of the most crucial power quality issues that occur in electrical power systems. Renewable energy plays a vital role in electrical distribution networks due to the high economic returns. However, the presence of photovoltaic systems changes the nature of the energy flow in the grid and causes many problems such as voltage deviation. In this work, several predictive models are examined for voltage regulation in the Jordanian Sabha distribution network equipped with photovoltaic farms. The augmented grey wolf optimizer is used to train the different predictive models. To evaluate the performance of models, a value of one for regression factor and a low value for root mean square error, mean square error, and mean absolute error are used as standards. In addition, a comparison between nineteen predictive models has been made. The results have proved the capability of linear regression and the gaussian process to restore the bus voltages in the distribution network accurately and quickly and to solve the shortening in the voltage dynamic response caused by the iterative nature of the heuristic algorithm.

One of the most promising forms of renewable energy is solar energy. However, efficient exploitation of this energy form is a
topic of great interest, especially in obtaining the maximum amount of power from the solar photovoltaic (PV) system under changing
environmental conditions. To solve this problem, it is necessary to propose an optimal algorithm. Therefore, this paper presents a feasible
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for DC/DC boost converters applied in load-connected stand-alone PV systems
to extract the maximum available power. This proposed method is based on the combination of the modified perturb and observe

simulation of the load-connected stand-alone PV system using PSIM software. The simulation results show a tracking efficiency with
an average value of 99.85%, 99.87%, and 99.96% for tracking the MPP under varying loads, irradiation, and simultaneously varying
temperature, load, and irradiation, respectively. In addition, tracking time is always stable at 0.02 sec for changing weather conditions in

To eliminate the adverse effect from parameter variations as well as distorted grid conditions, a current control scheme of an LCL-filtered grid-connected inverter using a discrete integral sliding mode control (ISMC) and resonant compensation is presented. The proposed scheme is constructed based on the cascaded multiloop structure, in which three control loops are composed of grid-side current control, capacitor voltage control, and inverter-side current control. An active damping to suppress the resonance caused by LCL filter can be effectively realized by means of the inverter-side feedback control loop. Furthermore, the seamless transfer operation between the grid-connected mode and islanded mode is achieved by the capacitor voltage control loop. To retain a high tracking performance and robustness of the ISMC as well as an excellent harmonic compensation capability of the resonant control (RC) scheme at the same time, two control methods are combined in the proposed current controller. As a result, the proposed scheme yields a high quality of the injected grid currents and fast dynamic response even under distorted grid conditions. Furthermore, to reduce the number of sensors, a discrete-time reduced-order state observer is introduced. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that

and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb

A NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING ANN TECHNIQUE FO...IJERD Editor

The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a Micro grid-connected hybrid generation
system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available
renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with
standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system.
The inverter converts the DC output from non-conventional energy into useful AC power for the
connected load. This hybrid system operates under normal conditions which include normal room temperature
in the case of solar energy and normal wind speed at plain area in the case of wind energy. However, designing
an optimal micro grid is not an easy task, due to the fact that primary energy carriers are changeable and
uncontrollable, as is the demand. Traditional design and optimization tools, developed for controlled power
sources, cannot be employed here. Simulation methods seem to be the best solution.
The dynamic model of the proposed system is first elaborated in the stationary reference frame and
then transformed into the synchronous orthogonal reference frame. The transformed variables are used in
control of the voltage source converter as the heart of the interfacing system between DG resources and utility
grid. By setting an appropriate compensation current references from the sensed load currents in control circuit
loop of DG, the active, reactive, and harmonic load current components will be compensated with fast dynamic
response, thereby achieving sinusoidal grid currents in phase with load voltages, while required power of the
load is more than the maximum injected power of the DG to the grid. In addition, the proposed control method
of this paper does not need a phase-locked loop in control circuit and has fast dynamic response in providing
active and reactive power components of the grid-connected loads.

The method uses the grid-side inverter, which normally injects power into the grid, to also eliminate high-order harmonics generated by a nonlinear load connected to the grid. Simulation results on a system with a 20 kW permanent magnet synchronous generator show that when a nonlinear load is connected, the proposed harmonic elimination method significantly reduces the total harmonic distortion of the grid current compared to when it is not used. The maximum power point tracking algorithm employed also achieves over 97% tracking efficiency across different wind speeds tested.

Among the advantages of this proposed controller is the stability of its output voltage with fast response speed to the required parameters. The second one uses a Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit to ensure the power quality regulation in the grid side via a predictive current control method. Finally, the stability of a closed-loop system is simulated and analyzed using commercial software offering sufficient conditions to validate a practical stability and robustness of the proposed overall designed system.

achieving maximum benefits from these grid-interfacing inverters
when installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter
is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating
active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be
utilized as: 1) power converter to inject power generated from
RES to the grid, and 2) shunt APF to compensate current unbalance,
load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and
load neutral current. All of these functions may be accomplished
either individually or simultaneously. With such a control, the
combination of grid-interfacing inverter and the 3-phase 4-wire
linear/non-linear unbalanced load at point of common coupling
appears as balanced linear load to the grid. This new control
concept is demonstrated with extensive MATLAB/Simulink simulation
studies and validated through digital signal processor-based
laboratory experimental results.

These control structures of the DGs voltage source inverters are implemented in synchronous reference frame (SRF) and controlled using linear PI controllers. By implementing the control structures, the desired real and reactive power can be efficiently transferred to the local loads and the utility load by the microgrid generating units. A modified droop control technique is introduced to facilitate the microgrid performance during both modes of operation. The active and reactive power sharing of the load demand between the utility grid and the microgrid can be performed by this drop control technique during the islanded mode. The system performance during intentional islanding event and utility load increase is investigated. The effectiveness of the offered control structures is confirmed through simulation results during both modes of operation.
A HYBRID AC/DC SOLAR POWERED STANDALONE SYSTEM WITHOUT INVERTER BASED ON LOAD...Iaetsd Iaetsd
ย
This document discusses two methods for generating power from solar panels for a home without using inverters or batteries.
Method 1 proposes a hybrid AC/DC home grid system that shifts harmonic intensive loads to the DC side to reduce power conversion losses and isolates harmonic content. Solar power is fed to the home through a DC-DC converter, MPPT, and inverter to power AC loads, with a separate DC connection for DC loads.
Method 2 generates AC power directly from an array of solar cells connected in an alternating anti-parallel configuration, eliminating power losses from an inverter. Compatibility with residential loads is analyzed. This novel technique could remove the need for batteries and reduce overall cost.

ย
A novel nonlinear backstepping controller based on direct current (DC) link voltage control is proposed in three-phase grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to control the active and reactive power flow between the PV system and the grid with improved power quality in terms of pure sinusoidal current injection with lower total harmonic distortion (THD), as well as to ensure unity power factor, or to compensate for reactive power required by the load, i.e., the electrical grid. The output power of the PV array is supplied to the grid through a boost converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control and an inverter. Simulation results of the proposed controller show good robustness under nominal conditions, parameter variations, and load disturbances, which presents the main advantage of this controller as compared to an existing controller.

ย
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.

A NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING ANN TECHNIQUE FO...IJERD Editor
ย
The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a Micro grid-connected hybrid generation
system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available
renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with
standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system.
The inverter converts the DC output from non-conventional energy into useful AC power for the
connected load. This hybrid system operates under normal conditions which include normal room temperature
in the case of solar energy and normal wind speed at plain area in the case of wind energy. However, designing
an optimal micro grid is not an easy task, due to the fact that primary energy carriers are changeable and
uncontrollable, as is the demand. Traditional design and optimization tools, developed for controlled power
sources, cannot be employed here. Simulation methods seem to be the best solution.
The dynamic model of the proposed system is first elaborated in the stationary reference frame and
then transformed into the synchronous orthogonal reference frame. The transformed variables are used in
control of the voltage source converter as the heart of the interfacing system between DG resources and utility
grid. By setting an appropriate compensation current references from the sensed load currents in control circuit
loop of DG, the active, reactive, and harmonic load current components will be compensated with fast dynamic
response, thereby achieving sinusoidal grid currents in phase with load voltages, while required power of the
load is more than the maximum injected power of the DG to the grid. In addition, the proposed control method
of this paper does not need a phase-locked loop in control circuit and has fast dynamic response in providing
active and reactive power components of the grid-connected loads.

With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system.

ย
This document presents an adaptive virtual impedance based droop control scheme for parallel inverters in a microgrid. The scheme uses an impedance estimator to monitor changes in line impedances between inverters and the point of common coupling. It estimates the line impedance in real time using output voltages and currents of the inverters as well as voltages at the point of common coupling. The estimated line impedance is then fed into a virtual impedance loop to adjust the virtual impedance value and compensate for reactive power mismatches due to changing line impedances, improving power sharing performance. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive scheme compared to conventional control methods.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a control strategy for a standalone DC microgrid (DC MG) powered by a photovoltaic (PV) system and battery energy storage system (BESS). The proposed hybrid control strategy aims to minimize BESS utilization by treating it as a secondary source, only operating it when maximum PV power is insufficient for loads or when DC link voltage deviates outside defined limits.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new method for reducing grid current total harmonic distortion in a wind energy conversion system using a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The method uses optimal torque control for maximum power point tracking from the wind turbines. It then employs vector control of the grid-side inverter to both control active power injection into the grid and eliminate higher-order current harmonics from local nonlinear loads, improving power quality. Simulation results demonstrate the benefits of maximum power point tracking at different wind speeds and lower total harmonic distortion when the harmonic elimination function is used.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new method for reducing grid current total harmonic distortion in a grid-connected wind energy conversion system using a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The method uses the grid-side inverter, which normally injects power into the grid, to also eliminate high-order harmonics generated by a nonlinear load connected to the grid. Simulation results on a system with a 20 kW permanent magnet synchronous generator show that when a nonlinear load is connected, the proposed harmonic elimination method significantly reduces the total harmonic distortion of the grid current compared to when it is not used. The maximum power point tracking algorithm employed also achieves over 97% tracking efficiency across different wind speeds tested.
Regardless its significant potential for generating renewable energy, Moroccan government prohibited the injection of production surplus into the low voltage (LV) network because it still lack the implementing decreases, that represents one of the principal challenges for residential self-production in the country. The focus of this paper work is to introduce and analyze a novel fast MPPT strategy applied in an improved grid-connected Residential PV system respecting the current legislative framework in Morocco, which allow to the consumer being an actor in the energy transition towards a low-carbon society by reducing his dependence to the electrical grid and managing his own energy consumption efficiently by a good switching between photovoltaic (PV) source and the grid and therefore making a framework of smart residence management system. The overall system is designed to improve the energy control performance with two techniques: the first one uses a novel high performance controller to track the maximum power point (MPP) of a photovoltaic array under fast irradiation and load changes. Among the advantages of this proposed controller is the stability of its output voltage with fast response speed to the required parameters. The second one uses a Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit to ensure the power quality regulation in the grid side via a predictive current control method. Finally, the stability of a closed-loop system is simulated and analyzed using commercial software offering sufficient conditions to validate a practical stability and robustness of the proposed overall designed system.
Grid Interconnection of Renewable Energy Sources at the Distribution Level Wi...Pradeep Avanigadda
ย
Renewable energy resources (RES) are being increasingly
connected in distribution systems utilizing power electronic
converters. This paper presents a novel control strategy for
achieving maximum benefits from these grid-interfacing inverters
when installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter
is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating
active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be
utilized as: 1) power converter to inject power generated from
RES to the grid, and 2) shunt APF to compensate current unbalance,
load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and
load neutral current. All of these functions may be accomplished
either individually or simultaneously. With such a control, the
combination of grid-interfacing inverter and the 3-phase 4-wire
linear/non-linear unbalanced load at point of common coupling
appears as balanced linear load to the grid. This new control
concept is demonstrated with extensive MATLAB/Simulink simulation
studies and validated through digital signal processor-based
laboratory experimental results.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding

negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed

Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for

article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

ย
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT.

The system workflow starts with sensors that collect data from the incubator. Then, the data is sent in real-time to the internet of things (IoT) broker eclipse mosquito using the message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol version 5.0. After that, the data is stored in a database for analysis using the long short-term memory network (LSTM) method and displayed in a web application using an application programming interface (API) service. Furthermore, the experimental results produce as many as 2,880 rows of data stored in the database. The correlation coefficient between the target attribute and other attributes ranges from 0.23 to 0.48. Next, several experiments were conducted to evaluate the model-predicted value on the test data. The best results are obtained using a two-layer LSTM configuration model, each with 60 neurons and a lookback setting 6. This model produces an R 2 value of 0.934, with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.015 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.008. In addition, the R 2 value was also evaluated for each attribute used as input, with a result of values between 0.590 and 0.845.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.

Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

1. INTRODUCTION
The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into the global energy matrix has gained significant
momentum due to their inherent advantages, including renewable and clean energy generation. These
systems harness solar radiation to produce electricity, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and greater
energy independence [1]. However, the performance of PV systems is intricately tied to external factors, such
as temperature variations and solar radiation intensity. These environmental dependencies hinder the precise
control and efficient utilization of generated power, posing challenges to achieving optimal system
performance [2]. This research endeavors to surmount these limitations by proposing an innovative approach
that amalgamates advanced control techniques with state-of-the-art power conversion strategies, leading to a
paradigm shift in grid-connected PV systems [1].
The performance of PV systems is critically linked to environmental dynamics, affecting their
output power and overall efficiency. This dependence complicates the task of extracting maximum power
from solar cells, particularly during periods of erratic weather conditions [3]. Conventional methods for

power conversion and control often fall short in mitigating these challenges, leading to suboptimal power
quality, heightened distortion, and reduced overall system efficiency [4], [5].
In the context of grid-connected PV systems utilizing voltage source inverter (VSI), two main
configurations stand out: two-stage and single-stage systems. The two-stage system, potentially pricier due to
an added DC/DC conversion stage, offers better power flow control, reducing voltage fluctuations and
harmonics [6]. The two-stage system, however, introduces complexity and potential efficiency losses. On the
other hand, the single-stage approach boasts cost-effectiveness by directly integrating PV generation with the
grid, resulting in fewer components and higher efficiency [5]. However, this simplicity leads to issues like
harmonic distortions and voltage spikes due to fluctuations in PV array voltage during weather changes. The
choice depends on balancing economic factors, efficiency, and addressing power quality challenges within
the dynamic landscape of grid-connected PV systems [7], [8].
In grid-connected PV systems utilizing VSIs, effective control strategies are essential to enhance
performance, improve power quality, and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD). Voltage-oriented control
(VOC) is a prevalent approach that aligns the current vector with the line voltage vector using internal
current control loops [5]. However, limitations arise from the need for coordinated translation and
active/reactive component decoupling.
An alternative strategy, direct power control (DPC), involves selecting optimal voltage vectors
through a switching table approach. By comparing estimated and reference active/reactive power values and
considering vector position, this method offers simplified calculations without requiring pulse width
modulation (PWM) modulators or inner current loops [9]. Despite the promise of DPC, conventional DPC
(C-DPC) has drawbacks such as difficulty discerning error magnitudes and voltage vector sectors, leading to
potential instability, frequency ripples, and undesired harmonics affecting THD. This prompts ongoing
research into refined control strategies for improved grid-connected PV system performance [10].
In this study, fuzzy logic direct power control (FL-DPC) is provided. It combines fuzzy logic (FL)
and direct power control (DPC). FL-DPC uses linguistic variables to handle uncertainty and directly controls
power flow in converters. FL-DPC uses fuzzy logic to adjust control signals for DPC, enhancing
performance, adaptability, and efficiency in power converter systems. It solves the issue of selecting a proper
switching voltage vector, which reduces the ripple of active and reactive power and, therefore, the current
injected into the grid. In addition, to optimize power output, fuzzy logic-based maximum power point
tracking (FL-MPP) is proposed. It reduces error during steady-state operation as well as error during
operation under rapid environmental conditions. Further, it increases the response time. The following is a
brief outline of our contributions: i) A FL-DPC for switching inverters is proposed that utilizes a single-stage
converter. The integration of fuzzy logic in DPC facilitates precise voltage vector selection, mitigating issues
associated with harmonic injection and voltage spikes during grid connection, ii) We integrate MPP with FL
to enhance power extraction. FL-MPP optimizes power output by dynamically adjusting perturbation step
sizes, enabling efficient and rapid maximum power point tracking, iii) Our research includes a rigorous
simulation and comparative analysis to validate the performance of the proposed method. Through these
simulations, conducted using MATLAB/Simulink, we demonstrate significant advancements over the
conventional method. Key areas of improvement include enhanced stability and power quality.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents an overview of related work.
Sections 3 and 4 demonstrate the conventional and fuzzy logic-based controller methods for elucidating the
integration of two systems with the grid. Section 5 offers comprehensive details of the simulation setup,
showcasing the results and performance improvements achieved through the proposed framework. Finally,
Section 7 concludes the paper by summarizing the research contributions and discussing potential future
directions in the field of advanced PV system control and integration
2. RELATED WORK
The integration of renewable sources like solar into the existing power network has led to challenges
with power quality. Currently, two main control strategies within the voltage-based control category, namely
VOC and DPC, have encountered issues. In [5], both VOC and DPC strategies are examined and compared
under heavy loads. VOC excels at quickly reaching the desired voltage reference, yet it exhibits higher THD
compared to DPC. In [1] and [9], VSI using DPC has been proposed. The approach does not necessitate an
inner-loop current regulator. The approach uses a control mechanism to control real and reactive power based
on DPC. It, however, has a relatively higher time response compared to VOC.
Recently, model predictive control (MPC) has gained popularity as an effective strategy, especially
MPC-DPC, which maintains a constant switching frequency [7], [10], [11]. While MPC-DPC generally
demonstrates favorable closed-loop behavior, it does introduce additional computational demands and the
risk of suboptimal voltage sequence selection. However, these methods exhibit variable switching

frequencies, which complicates the implementation of line filters due to unpredictable harmonic patterns
caused by the fluctuating switching frequency [12].
The direct control of solar cell connections to the power grid is investigated in [7] and [8]. It uses
both single-stage and two-stage configurations. Ensuring the proper integration of solar cells into the grid is
pivotal to incorporating renewable energy sources. Various techniques have been investigated, with some
involving direct control of solar cell capacity. These configurations range from two-stage systems, which
separate conversion and control functions, to single-stage systems that simplify the process, reducing costs
and improving efficiency [13], [14]. However, because the input voltage of single-stage PV grid-connected
systems fluctuates over a wide range of voltage boost operations, it may be difficult to stabilize the output
voltage at a desired value. So, control strategies must be employed to optimize energy extraction from the
solar panels and ensure grid stability [15].
To optimize maximum power from solar panels and maintain grid stability, effective control
strategies are crucial. Perturb and observe (P and O) and INC are well-known MPPT methods due to their
simplicity [3]. P and O is easy to implement but has limitations tied to fixed perturbation step sizes. Larger
steps enhance tracking speed but introduce fluctuations, while smaller steps reduce fluctuations but might
impact efficiency during rapid environmental changes [3]. To mitigate these limitations, a solution called FL-
MPP has emerged. FL-MPP adapts the perturbation step size dynamically, optimizing MPP tracking
efficiency while minimizing fluctuations and steady-state losses [16]. This adaptive approach accommodates
varying environmental conditions effectively, enhancing overall performance [17].
3. CONVENTIONAL METHOD
This section presents an in-depth overview of the DPC methodology and its integration into a grid-
connected PV system. DPC uses a switching table to choose voltage vectors based on active and reactive
power errors and the source voltage vector's position, introduced by โT. Ohnishiโ and further developed by
โT. Noguchi and I. Takahachiโ [18]. Figure 1 illustrates the overall schematic of the system that typically
uses the DPC method together with incremental conductance (INC) MPPT. The schematic depicts the
conventional elements of a grid-connected PV setup. Line currents and voltages are measured, and Clark's
transformation is applied to calculate instantaneous active and reactive power as follows [19]:

Two-level hysteresis controllers play a vital role in the control strategy by responding to the disparities

Following this, the digitized signals ๐๐, ๐๐, and ๐๐ are introduced into the switching table as inputs,
with the inverter's voltage vector as the resultant output. To make optimal selections of inverter switch states
during each sampling period, Table 1 serves as a guide. Table 1 presents the C-DPC switching table, which
maps combinations of dq and dP signals to specific voltage vectors across angular sectors. This table guides
the optimal selection of inverter switch configurations for efficient control [20], [21].

To assess the effects of changes in power, a modified INC method is employed. This technique
detects slight changes in voltage and current within the PV array. Moreover, the controller's role has been
modified to compute the reference power for DPC. This adjustment aims to maximize power output from the
PV system [3]. Figure 3 delineates the step-by-step process of the INC MPPT, while Figure 4 represents the
power-voltage characteristic of the INC technique. In this process, if the rate of change of current to voltage,

The proposed method integrates double fuzzy systems. It presents an innovative replacement for
both the traditional DPC and INC MPPT methods. Initially, the FL-DPC approach was introduced to simplify
the hysteresis comparators and switching tables from C-DPC. Notably, from Table 1, neighboring sectors
share the same switching voltage vector states, allowing sectors to merge to result in sectors spanning
60 degrees rather than 30 degrees. Therefore, this led to a reduction in the sector count from twelve to six. To
facilitate this, the space voltage vector plane is shifted and rotated 30ยฐ clockwise. This adjustment is
illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 5. the voltage vector divided to 6 sectors
In FL-DPC, the key input parameters include active power errors, ๐๐, reactive power errors, ๐๐, and
voltage vector angle, sec๐. Its output is the voltage vector number, ๐๐ [18], [22]. Figure 6 illustrates the
membership functions of FL-DPC, where the membership functions for inputs ๐๐ and ๐๐ are categorized into
two linguistic variables: high (H) and low (L), as presented in Figures 6(a) and 6(b). For precise control, the
voltage vector's position is segmented into seven distinct fuzzy sets (sec1 to sec7) using triangular
membership functions, covering the full operational range (โ180ยฐ
, 180ยฐ
). This distribution is visualized in
Figure 6(c), while the arrangement of the membership function for ๐๐ is depicted in Figure 6(d). Table 2
details the set of 28 rules applied within the VSI for voltage vector regulation. These rules are derived using
the FLC methodology, incorporating the middle of maximum (MOM) technique for defuzzification. The
implementation of these rules is critical for effectively managing the fuzzy logic component in the DPC
scheme, ensuring optimized control and response within the system.
The widely used MPPT algorithms, such as P and O and INC, are recognized for their simplicity but
tend to oscillate and converge slowly around the MPP. To address these limitations, a novel FLC-MPP
technique is introduced. This method offers stability, ease of implementation, and independence from a
mathematical model of the system. However, a fundamental understanding of PV system behavior is
essential for designers. The core concept behind FLC-MPP lies in changing the rate of increase of the
reference power, unlike the fixed-step approach of typical MPPT algorithms. This enhancement accelerates
the system's response time towards reaching the MPP [23]. The inputs for the FLC-MPP consist of error ๐ธ
and change of error ๐ถ๐ธ, calculated using (7) and (8), respectively, where ๐(๐) and ๐(๐) represent the
voltage and power of the PV array at the instantaneous sample time, ๐๐๐ [23]โ[25].

๐(๐)โ๐(๐โ1)

The output of the proposed controller is a change in incremental power reference, ๐๐ , to readjust
the operating point towards the optimal position. This iterative process continues until the slope becomes
zero. The linguistic variables big negative (BN), small negative (SN), zero (Z), small positive (SP), and big
positive (BP) represent the input and output variables. The defuzzification method employs the center-of-area
approach. Table 3 outlines the MPPT fuzzy logic controller's rules, totaling 25 rules, which govern its
operation [23]โ[25].

5. SIMULATION RESULTS
This section introduces a MATLAB/Simulink model designed for the comprehensive simulation and
analysis of a grid-connected PV system. The model encompasses both conventional and novel techniques,
starting with a baseline test of the former. The simulation includes a three-phase breaker activated at t = 0.1
seconds, with the initial solar irradiance set at 500 W/mยฒ and the temperature at 25 ยฐC. A dynamic scenario is
then introduced, transitioning solar irradiation from 500 to 1,000 W/mยฒ at t = 2 seconds while the temperature
remains constant. The resulting PV curves in Figure 4, clarify the system's response to changing solar inputs.
Additionally, the model evaluates the unity power factor (UPF) by setting the reference reactive power to
zero. Table 4 consolidates key parameter values. This section lays the foundation for a deeper exploration of
simulation outcomes, offering insights into the grid-connected PV system's behavior and performance.

inverter circuit in a PV system and demonstrating reduced ripples in active and reactive power at the inverter
output. It is coupled with a quicker response in tracking maximum power compared to the conventional
method. In traditional methods, the ripple range in active power was approximately 15 kW (ranging from
43 to 58 kW), whereas in our method, it was reduced to approximately 10 kW (ranging from 44 to 54 kW). In
addition, in our method, the ripple range in reactive power was approximately 8 kVAR (-5 to 3 kVAR), while
in the conventional method, it was approximately 12 kVAR (-7 to 5 kVAR). This reduction in ripple
magnitude in our method is a significant finding, as it directly correlates with a reduction in THD. This
suggests that the proposed method can effectively regulate power output while adapting promptly to changes
in solar irradiance. Figures 8 depict the DC voltage and current of the PV array for two systems. The faster
reach to steady-state values with minimal fluctuations in the DC bus voltage, as illustrated in Figures 8(a) and
8(b), holds paramount significance as an indicator of the system's stability. Notably, while the conventional
method requires approximately 0.75 seconds to achieve this state, the proposed method accomplishes the
same in approximately 0.5 seconds. This performance differential showcases a substantial advantage of the
proposed method, which outperforms the conventional method by a factor of around 1.5. The proposed
method's ability to achieve this underscore its potential to maintain voltage stability in varying operating
conditions. The reduction in overshoot observed in the DC voltage values further emphasizes the proposed
method's superior transient response. This reduction can contribute to minimizing voltage fluctuations and
enhancing the overall stability of the PV system.
The application of fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis to line currents, as presented in Figure 9
and Figure 10, yields insights into power quality. Both control methods exhibit near-sinusoidal line currents,
signifying good waveform quality. However, the proposed method consistently maintains THD values,
indicating a cleaner current waveform. This outcome has a direct impact on reducing harmonic distortion and
its associated negative effects on the power system. Maintaining injected DC current within the limits (0.5%)
specified by the IEEE-929 Standard is critical for grid stability. The proposed method excels in this regard,
effectively curbing injected DC current to values well below the prescribed 0.5%. This achievement is
particularly noteworthy when considering the changing solar irradiance conditions, affirming the method's
robustness in managing injected DC components. Consequently, FFT analysis reaffirms the near-sinusoidal
characteristics of the line currents, further supported by previous sections. Furthermore, Figures 11(a) and (b)
display the grid voltage and inverter current for both systems. Initially, the inverter current was zero before
the activation of the three-phase breaker. Upon activation, there was a gradual increase in current due to
power being fed into the grid. A significant increase in current is also observed at ๐ก =2 seconds, aligning
with a change in solar irradiation levels from 500 to 1,000 W/mยฒ. Additionally, the in-phase relationship
between grid voltage and inverter current was noted, confirming that the power factor for both systems is
unity. The comparison in Table 5 confirms the superiority of the proposed method in terms of THD across
varying solar irradiances. For irradiances 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed method
reduces the THD of the injected current to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to
conventional methods, respectively. Notably, the proposed method's values align harmoniously with the
IEEE standards (IEEE 1574 [26], IEEE 519 [27], and IEEE 929 [28]), which advocate for THD levels below
5% across diverse weather conditions. Moreover, the injected DC current values remain comfortably below
the 0.5% threshold for both methods, a fact corroborated by the data displayed in Figures 9 and 10. The

presented results illustrate that the proposed method offers substantial benefits in terms of power quality,
response time, and compliance with IEEE standards when compared to the conventional approach. These
