  • Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure with Hybrid Renewable Energy: A Feasibility Study in Jordan
    Ahmad Salah, Mohammad Shalby, Mohammad Al-Soeidat, Fadi Alhomaidat
    World Electric Vehicle Journal, 2025
    Jordan Vision prioritizes the utilization of domestic resources, particularly renewable energy. The transportation sector, responsible for 49% of national energy consumption, remains central to this transition and accounts for around 28% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a promising solution to reduce waste and pollution, but they also pose challenges for grid stability and charging infrastructure development. This study addresses a critical gap in the planning of renewable-powered EV charging stations along Jordanian highways, where EV infrastructure is still limited and underdeveloped, by optimizing the design of a hybrid energy charging station using HOMER Grid (v1.9.2) Software. Region-specific constraints and multiple operational scenarios, including rooftop PV integration, are assessed to balance cost, performance, and reliability. This study also investigates suitable locations for charging stations along the Sahrawi Highway in Jordan. The proposed station, powered by a hybrid system of 53% wind and 29% solar energy, is projected to generate 1.466 million kWh annually at USD 0.0375/kWh, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 446 tonnes annually. The findings highlight the potential of hybrid systems to increase renewable energy penetration, support national sustainability targets, and offer viable investment opportunities for policymakers and the private sector in Jordan.

    The primary purpose of this research is to determine the most economical approach to installing a solar dish Stirling engine (SDSE) system on a building for residential purposes in Mafraq while taking into account the local weather, usual monthly consumption of energy and the prices charged by the local powered utility. The house uses an average of 622.25 kWh of energy every month, with the highest consumption in February and the lowest in May. A range of optical efficiencies between 50% and 98% are used to mount the SDSE system. This study evaluated the relationship between the price of electrical energy and the amount of power consumed to identify the times of day when energy consumption is highest. Another approach relevant to consider is solar power, which likewise varies across the whole year. When the available intensity of the sun and power rates are at their peak, an SDSE system is regarded as a feasible solution for fulfilling the energy requirements. This is because SDSE systems can still make electricity even during cloudy days. This work also includes a comprehensive analysis of the solar power that an SDSE receives and the generated electrical power.

  • Design and Development of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Charging Station in Jordan
    Ahmad A. Salah, Mohammad M. Shalby, Mohammad Raja Al-Soeidat
    4th International Conference on Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Sgre 2024 Proceedings, 2024
    Transportation in Jordan, responsible for 37% of energy consumption, plays a vital role in this transition to clean energy. Furthermore, it is responsible for 9.5% of total national greenhouse gas emissions (2018). Electric vehicles offer a promising solution to reduce waste and pollution, but they bring challenges regarding the electrical grid and charging infrastructure. This paper proposed designing and optimizing a hybrid energy electric vehicle charging station on highway roads using HOMER software. It analyzed and compared various hybrid systems, including installing solar panels on the station roof, to assess cost and performance. The appropriate locations for the charging station along the Sahrawi highway in Jordan are investigated. The charging station is supplied by a hybrid system consisting of 44% wind and 31% solar energy, with an annual electricity production of 1.281 million kWh at a production cost of US${\\$}$0.0623/kWh. Furthermore, the suggested hybrid system can reduce 446 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This study also provided an economic rationale for stakeholders to invest in the renewable energy industry.

    2023 International Future Energy Electronics Conference Ifeec 2023, 2023
    Ahstract-This paper presents the calculation, through the part-count method, and a comparison of converter failure rates of several typical and previously reported three-port DC/DC converters using both MIL-HDBK-217F and AS/NZS IEC 61709:2019 standards. This paper aims to compare the differences between the two standards in assessing the failure rates of components, hence the overall failure rate of the power converter circuitry.
  • Investigation of Photovoltaic Panel Degradation Affected by Dust in Jordan
    Mohammad Al-Soeidat, Habes Khawaldeh, Dylan D-C Lu
    2023 International Future Energy Electronics Conference Ifeec 2023, 2023
    The impact of dust on photovoltaic (PV) panel output power performance and energy generation is investigated in this study. The characteristic of the PV panel is analyzed for the dusted and clean panel and then compared with similar PV panels that have been affected by dust for a long time in the south of Jordan in the middle of the desert. The examined PV panels, which were uncleaned for two months, show 13.08% less energy generation compared to clean panels where, some panels suffer from hot spots and cracks after six months. The cell temperature of the cracked and dusted PV panels is increased. A string of four PV panels containing three cracked panels generates 20% less energy than the sum of the generated power from the panels individually.
  • Accurate, Fast and Power Efficient PV Emulator Based on Hybrid Passive and Active Circuits
    Habes Khawaldeh and
    Cpss Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications, 2022
    A photovoltaic emulator (PVE) has been proposed based on a physical equivalent photovoltaic cell model. It has fast dynamic performance that is compatible with a real PV system. The PV emulator can analyze and assess PV systems, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It is power efficient at the maximum power point. However, it has higher power loss at an open-circuit voltage (OCV). This paper, therefore, presents a hybrid solution using a switching circuit (SC) paralleled with the diode string (DS) to minimize the power loss. The SC consists of a two-switch non-inverting buck-boost dc/dc converter. The DS operates with a low power loss region, i.e., the current source region (CSR) of the I-V curve, in which the SC switches in to replace the DS in the voltage source region (VSR) to minimize power loss of the DS while maintaining the emulator’s circuit operation. The SC handles only a fraction of the rated emulator power and has a much narrower control bandwidth than a pure switching converter-based solution. Experimental results show that in the worst-case scenario, i.e., OCV condition, the efficiency and temperature of the PVE based on DS alone configuration reach 2.8% and 94.2 °C, respectively, as compared to 85.98% and 26.5 °C for the proposed hybrid solution. Under the 30% to 60% insolation change test, the suggested PV emulator lags the actual PV panel by only 3.2 ms, compared to 120 ms lagging for a commercial emulator. Furthermore, the control strategy is implemented to handle the trade-off between thermal and dynamic performances of the proposed solution.
  • Power Loss Reduction for PV Emulator Using Transistor-based PV Model
    Habes Ali Khawaldeh, Mohammad Al-soeidat, Dylan D-C Lu, Li Li
    2022 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition Ecce 2022, 2022
    Recently, a photovoltaic (PV) emulator based on a combination of a constant current source and a semiconductor string, i.e., transistors or diodes, has demonstrated much faster dynamics than switching mode power supply (SMPS) based solution and shown also compatible performance with that of a real PV system. While it has high power efficiency at the maximum power point (MPP), the power loss of the emulator increases beyond the MPP and is at the highest at the open-circuit voltage (OCV) operation condition. This paper presents a hybrid solution where the semiconductor string works in the current-source region of the I-V curve and a new switching circuit, which sits in parallel with the semiconductor string, activates in the voltage-source region. Experimental results show that the efficiency and temperature of the PV emulator based on transistor string alone configuration reach 4.8% and 93.5°C, respectively, in the worst-case scenario, i.e., OCV condition, compared to 88.3% and 26.3°C, respectively, for the proposed solution. The switching circuit handles only a fraction of the rated emulator power and has much narrower control bandwidth requirement than pure switching converter based solution. A new control algorithm is proposed to manage the transition between the two regions seamlessly.
  • Fast Photovoltaic Emulator Based on PV-cell Equivalent Circuit Model
    Habes A. Khawaldeh, Mohammad Al-soeidat, Dylan Dah-Chuan Lu, Li Li
    Proceedings of the Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition Asia Ecce Asia 2021, 2021
    Photovoltaic (PV) emulator is a specific type of power electronic device used to simulate and produce the nonlinear characteristic curves for actual solar panel or array. It usually requires fast computing and power converters with a wide output range. However, the emulator response time is restricted by the controller bandwidth, and it must stabilize the converter for many different operating points. Hence pure power converter based solutions generally have a slower response time when compared with the real PV system. This paper presents a PV emulator based on a PV cell equivalent circuit model. It consists of a constant current source converter (CCSC) and a string of diodes to mimic the nonlinearity of any PV source. The CCSC simplifies the converter and controller designs as it operates at a fixed point for each insolation level, as compared with a converter-based solution which requires a voltage-source converter with wide output operating ranges. This study focuses on two aspects of the PV emulator design. Firstly, a detailed parametric design from model equations to the extraction of practical real PV parameters is explained to estimate the electrical performance of the PV simulator. Secondly, the CCSC and controller designs are explained. An experimental prototype is designed to validate the PV simulator. In addition to steady-state operation, the dynamic response of series connected cells is also emulated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed platform. Both simulations and experimental results are conducted. The response time of the proposed emulator system is comparable to both a benchmarked commercial product and a real PV system.
