    Hydrogen is set to revolutionize the future energy landscape with its wide-ranging applications across various sectors. With global decarbonization objectives, water electrolysis provides a sustainable way to produce hydrogen, especially when it is driven by renewable energy sources. This process predominantly utilizes grid electricity, but the growing implementation of renewable energy-powered microgrids presents an attractive alternative for hydrogen production. The produced hydrogen can be used not only for electrical generation within the microgrid but also for local heating and as a fuel for transportation. Power converters are crucial in ensuring stability and reliability in hydrogen production. The paper reviews the power electronics converters required to match the DC and AC voltage source with the needs of electrolyzers. Moreover, this paper explores the technologies of electrolyzers powered by renewable energy sources, with a particular focus on wind turbines and PV.

    Minimum cost design of small low-loss transformers
    (2005-01-01) ;
    Chat-uthai, C.
    A procedure for minimum cost design of a small low-loss low-frequency transformer is presented. The total losses of transformer can be defined to be the design constraint. The procedure for improving the accuracy of calculated total losses is the basis of the proposed total losses calculation associated with the temperature rise evaluation. The optimization technique used in this paper is based on the Genetic Algorithms. Five samples of 72 VA, 220/24 V, 50 Hz transformers have been designed and tested in order to illustrate how well the calculated total losses values using this proposed procedure matches that of the measured values obtained from the test. Finally, the simulation results of the minimum cost design with losses constraint are demonstrated. This proposed design is suitable for the design of economical transformer with total losses value options which is considerably flexible for a particular purpose.

    The growth of the electric vehicles (EVs) market and the inadequacy of EV infrastructure, especially EV charging station, have led to an increase in charging EVs at home or the workplace. Onboard EV chargers (OBCs) have been installed on electric vehicles to charge batteries. The trend of increasing power rating and minimized sizing of OBCs, the improvement in stability and performance has been interesting. This paper demonstrates non-isolated EV onboard chargers with controller design based on Port-Hamiltonian control law to approach a robust control system and operate under wide operating range. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed control scheme is validated through experiment in laboratory.

    This paper presents the optimal electric vehicle charging station installation planning, focusing on the installation scenarios where the location is pre-selected. The optimization process includes the maximum charging power capacity and the number of electric vehicles charging stations. Energy consumption information from nearby charging stations is harvested and then analyzed for forecasting the energy supply behavior of each charging station. This paper has a financial analysis to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of each installation scenario. Additionally, this methodology is demonstrated through the real-world data of charging patterns from electric vehicles at each charging station in Thailand.

    This paper proposes constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) charging control based on Hamiltonian control law with a state observer for a bidirectional buck-boost converter on an EV charger. The CC-CV charging scheme is mainly utilized to charge lithium-ion batteries on an electric vehicle. In CC mode, the battery is charged with a preset value until the battery voltage reaches the desired equalized voltage. During CV mode, equalized current is used to maintain battery voltage to equalize the battery. In this work, equalization current requires the actual battery voltage, desired battery voltage, and the battery current for its calculation. Additionally, a state observer is implemented to estimate voltage across uncertainties of resistance and the battery current. Also, it can enhance the performance of the proposed control scheme and minimize the required sensors. Furthermore, the 1 kW prototype of the bidirectional buck-boost converter is developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed controlled scheme.

    The analysis of the positioning of the power transmission coil with a power rating of 3 kW and an output voltage of 48 V at a frequency of 85 kHz is presented, along with a simulation of the wireless power transfer (WPT) control system using an LCC-S resonance compensation circuit, applied to automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The case where the coil positions are misaligned with a deviation of 0-20% from the size of the power transmission coil is considered. Apparently, it can be illustrated that when the two power transmission coils are misaligned, the battery can still be charged in constant current mode using an interleaved buck converter circuit through a PI controller to increase the output power. The operation is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

    This proposed paper presents the use of selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technology to control the cascaded H-Bridge Multi-level Inverter (CHBMI) for power transferring over the high frequency transformer (HFT), which is a part of the SST for applying to a solar farm. Apparently, the converter is using the seven-level CHBMI and the SHE technique to get rid of the 5<sup>th</sup> harmonic and 7<sup>th</sup> harmonic to find a set of angles θ<inf>1</inf>, θ<inf>2</inf> and 63 with the lowest 3<sup>rd</sup> harmonic. The calculated angles are used in each modules. Obviously, the simulation has shown that, at m<inf>a</inf>=2.43, θ<inf>1</inf>=11.6782°, θ<inf>2</inf>=26.8870° and θ<inf>3</inf>=56.0271°. The total harmonic distortion (% THDv) will be lowest at 9.35%. According to the experimentation, the SHE technique with low % THDv can reduce the power loss at HFT compared to the square wave transmission technique which the % THDv is high.

    Deteriorated solar panel detection technique of SST for a solar farm application

    This proposed paper introduces the fault detection method for solar cell with Box Plot technique on the Solid State Transformer (SST) for the solar farm application. The Box Plot technique with inclusive quartile value is functioned for finding the upper and lower limit for data analysis. Normally, the fault detections of solar panels are found by using the PV string current from the SST to calculate the upper and lower limit of the Box Plot. If one of the string currents is in the specific outer boundary, therefore, the solar panels are in non-operational condition mode. Generally, the fault detection testing for the solar panels can be categorized in 5 cases: normal condition, open circuit condition, line-line condition, partial shading condition and degradation condition. Finally, based on the simulation result and the actual results, the Box Plot is able to monitor the performance of the PV string according to various conditions as efficiently as possible and accurate.
