Photovoltaic (PV) modules often suffer from defects like glass breakage, soiling, discoloration, hotspots, reducing their power generation efficiency. Fixed-angle PV systems are increasingly being replaced by single axis tracking system (STs) and dual axis tracking system (DTs) mode of operation to enhance generation. However, STs improve performance by following daily solar motions but struggle with seasonal adjustments. While DTs overcome this limitation by enabling precise two-axis tracking, capturing optimal solar irradiance. The bifacial configured PV modules further boost generation efficiency by utilizing radiation from both sides, offering flexibility in orientation and reducing tracking limitations. The primary objective of this study is to enhance power generation from the bifacial PV module. Hence, this study is proposing a cost-effective bifacial dual-axis parabolic dish tracker with a closed-loop design. The system employs Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensors and a Raspberry Pi controller to achieve precise dual-axis tracking assembled on stainless frame. The size of parabolic dish is comprised of aluminum foil polished around $4 \\times 4 \\mathrm{ft}$ area. The proposed study was tested over three days in November along with an albedo of approximately 0.39 value. The obtained result shows that generated cumulative power in watt (W) was recorded as $402.47 \\mathrm{~W}, 418.06 \\mathrm{~W}$ and 427.30 W respectively. Thus, results demonstrate the combined potential of bifacial PV modules and DTs scheme has efficiently improved the power generation. - Optimal Scheduling of Hybrid Fuel Cell-Battery Storage in Microgrid Considering Battery Degradation Cost

Hybrid storage systems (HSS) have gained significant interest in recent years due to their ability to combine the advantages of different storage technologies. A fuel cell (FC)-battery HSS is a promising configuration for microgrid operations, leveraging the high-power density of batteries and the high energy density of fuel cells when optimally scheduled. Therefore, optimal scheduling of both units is essential for achieving optimal performance. In this paper, we develop an optimization model for the optimal scheduling of a hybrid FC-battery storage system in a microgrid, taking battery degradation costs into account. In our model, the FC is scheduled for continuous but low power periods, while the battery is scheduled for discrete high-power periods. This strategy ensures the effective combination of the advantages of both technologies. The scheduling problem is formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed model. - Wind and solar energy resources potential across coastal mega cities, of Pakistan
Pakistan has the vast potential of renewable energy (RE) resources but still, rely on the pricy fossil fuel-based power generation. The developed nation work on the shifting of conventional resources based generation into renewable energy-based generation, but Pakistan still engages to negotiate fossil fuel trade. However, Pakistan has 1100Km of the coastal belt that acquires the huge potential of RE. The different metrological department measure the RE exists in Pakistan, the World Bank Group is one of them. The World Bank group observe the solar and wind potential across the megacity of Pakistan including Karachi. In this research, we have explored the World Bank efforts by highlighting the availability of the solar and wind power across coastal megacity, of Pakistan. The main focus is on the estimates of global horizontal irradiation (GHI) parameter of solar and wind speed for wind resources along with the yearly values provided by the World Bank. The wind power depend on wind speed across so, in this research, the wind speed is observed across the coastal megacity of Pakistan for the wind turbine installation. The wind speed data is occupied from the World Bank site to explore wind model for the future power supply across Karachi of Pakistan. Similarly, the solar irradiation calculation is very much important to install solar models. So we have select the GHI for the solar observation across Karachi of Pakistan. The GHI data is taken from the World Bank site and exploring on excel to find the future power generation across coastal megacity of Pakistan. Both wind speed and GHI parameter are observed by a yearly basis. It is detected that the regular trend for each of the selected years is related to the next year so the perceived trend of GHI and wind speed is valid for the upcoming year. Hence the GHI and wind speed availability indicate the installation of solar penal and wind turbine for the power generation across the coastal megacity of Pakistan. The GHI and wind speed experimental data for the coastal megacity contain a huge amount of solar and wind potential. The planner needs to explore this energy by installing a suitable quantity of the solar plant and windmills for power generation. - Wind energy status and potential assessment across coastal Mega city, of Pakistan

The development growth of any nation is based on making a balance between power generation and its supply. But unfortunately every year Pakistan show the expansion curve between supply and demand. So the gap can be overcome by utilizing the existing renewable resources, which have the capacity to fulfill future demand. The scientific proof has been mounting for many years to use renewable energy (RE) resources. One of these shared resources is wind energy that presently seems like the primary emerging supply source of energy around the globe. The wind is such type of natural resource that capable to supply the unstoppable energy from wind turbines. The wind energy can play a significant role to supply economical and environmentally friendly energy. The wind energy only needs basic information about wind conditions for windmills installation at a localized place. So the World Bank conducts the study of each wind speed information obtained from the installed station in the selected region of the world including Pakistan for an extent of 3 years. In this research, the wind availability is being observed for the coastal megacity, of Pakistan on the basis of World Bank data.
