  • Waterwheel Plant Algorithm and Capsule Attention Convolutional Neural Networks for Optimal Sizing Framework for Photovoltaic-Battery EV Charging Microgrids
    R. Raja, R. Geetha, Vemana U. P. Lavanya, G. Indumathi
    Energy Storage, 2025
    The increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) highlights the importance of energy management (EM) and particularly photovoltaic (PV)‐battery microgrids (MGs). However, the conventional optimization methodologies are not always capable of striking an optimal balance between cost, energy, and size of the system, considering uncertainties such as the variability of solar resource and the fluctuating demand of charging of EVs. This paper proposes a hybrid method for the optimal sizing framework for PV‐battery EV charging MGs. The proposed method is the combined execution of the waterwheel plant algorithm (WWPA) and capsule attention convolutional neural networks (CACNN). Thus, the proposed method is referred to as the WWPA‐CACNN approach. The goal of this work is to achieve optimal sizing of PV‐battery systems, enhancing energy utilization, cost‐efficiency, and grid independence. The WWPA is used to optimize the sizing of PV panels and battery storage to minimize costs and maximize energy utilization in EV charging MGs. The CACNN is used to predict energy generation, storage, and demand, ensuring accurate forecasting and system adaptability. By then, the proposed method is simulated on the MATLAB platform and compared with various existing methods like particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial neural network (ANN), non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm‐II (NSGA‐II), modified snake optimization (MSO), and dung beetle optimizer (DBO). The proposed WWPA‐CACNN method also has the lowest total lifetime cost of $12 730 and high efficiency of 96%, which underlines its better overall performance to effectively manage PV‐battery EV charging MGs at optimal cost.

    R. Raja, K. Sureshkumar, Kurra Venkateswara Rao, N. Jayashree
    Energy Storage, 2025
    Integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) with Electric Vehicles (EVs) elucidates a crucial area in Energy Management (EM) for Microgrids (MGs). Probably the most difficult job is stochastic behavior from RES together with unpredictable EV charging demands, aspires towards grid stability, and destabilizes prompt frequency control. This article introduces a hybrid methodology designed for intelligent EM in MGs with EV charging. Proposed method integrates Snow Ablation Optimization (SAO) and Cascade Chaotic Neural Network (CCNN); therefore, it is called the SAO‐CCNN technique. The aim is to improve economic performance of the MG integrated by EV charging by minimize the Operating Cost. SAO optimizes the utilization of RES and EVs, improving overall energy management. The CCNN is employed to predict the participation probability of EVs in grid support activities, thereby aiding in the accurate forecasting of energy demand. The suggested SAO‐CCNN technique is implemented on MATLAB platform and evaluated against existing optimization methods, including Firefly Optimization Algorithm (FOA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Robust Optimization Algorithm (ROA), Multi Objective Optimization (MOO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The operating cost achieved using the proposed method is $17 184.1, demonstrating improved cost‐efficiency compared to optimization methods.

    Vijayakumar Govindaraj, Sujith Mayakrishnan, Shanmugasundaram Venkatarajan, Raja Raman, Ramesh Sundar
    Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2024
    For solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, an upgraded triple gain seven-level inverter that works both independently and while connected to the grid is proposed. The two-stage configuration of the system is boost cascaded. The first stage has a one switch improved gain converter (OSIGC) to increase and normalize the input direct current (DC) voltage, and the second stage includes a unique seven level alternating current (AC) is produced via a multilevel inverter (MLI) design with triple voltage gain. The proposed OSIGC is appropriate for a broad range of conversions. The voltage gain in MLI was achieved using switched capacitor techniques. The DC-DC converter can achieve a maximum voltage gain of twelve and the MLI can achieve a maximum voltage gain of three, resulting in a DC-DC-AC voltage that can reach 36. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on modified perturb and observe (PO) is used in OSIGC to maximise PV module power utilisation, and MLI control utilises sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) realistically. For the purpose of analysing the suggested system, a 200 Watt prototype statel is created. With a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.181%, up to 92.12% of the converter system’s overall efficiency is possible.

    Proceedings of the 2024 3rd Edition of IEEE Delhi Section Flagship Conference Delcon 2024, 2024
    In this project, the ATAS, or Anti-Theft Alert System, will make home security critical toward ensuring residential safety and against unauthorized access. This study involves the design and implementation of an anti-theft alert system based on a combination of microcontrollers, sensors, and display components for the achievement of all-inclusive security. The system includes an Arduino UNO, NodeMCU ESP-12E, ESP32-Cam, relay module, LCD display, magnetic door sensor, buzzer, and good power supply to allow real-time monitoring capability and alert. The methodology used allows for the installation of a magnetic door sensor that constantly monitors whether entry points are opened or not. Once it detects unauthorized entry access, it triggers the relay module to activate the buzzer that gives an instantaneous audible alarm to alert homeowners. On the other hand, the LCD display shows other security-related information such as the status of the door or alerts concerning any unauthorized access. The real-time video surveillance is carried out using ESP32-Cam, capturing and streaming video in live feed so that the actual breach can be identified visually. The communication between sensors, the alarm system, and the display is taken care of by NodeMCU ESP-12E, which directs the response actions and ensures the smooth functioning of the whole system. Power management is assured by the stable power supply and ensures that continuous operation and reliability of the system components can be guaranteed.
