  • Design of Polymer–Ceramic–Composite Flexible Films of Polyvinylidene fluoride–NaNbO3 as Energy Harvesters
    Sayali Kanhav, Smita Acharya, Kushal Kanhav
    Physica Status Solidi A Applications and Materials Science, 2025
    Flexible energy storage/energy harvester devices are crucial to cater to the energy needs of various forms of flexible products in advanced technology. Polymer–ceramics composite systems are recognized and extensively explored for the development of flexible devices for various applied fields. In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–NaNbO 3 composite flexible films are developed. Ceramic phase NaNbO 3 is prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method. The X‐ray diffraction, followed by Rietveld refinement, confirms a pure phase with an orthorhombic structure. The composite films are synthesized by the solution casting method in various compositions of PVDF:NaNbO 3 (wt% 95:05, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of all thin films is carried out to identify functional groups of the organic phase and corresponding deformation by the ceramic blend. Dielectric behavior in terms of dielectric constant and dissipation factor is investigated to justify its ability as an energy harvester. The ferroelectric behavior studied by the polarization‐electric (P‐E) loop tracer exhibits significant modulations in coercivity and remnant polarization. A prototype model of the energy harvesting system is fabricated, and its feasibility as an energy harvester is revealed by using a Digital storage oscilloscope. Weight% 0.85 PVDF–weight% 0.15 NaNbO 3 composite systems have delivered around 9 V output voltage pulse just by using human figure pressure with V rms 4.02 at applied load resistance 33 MΩ.
  • A bidirectional multiport DC-DC converter topology for hybrid energy system
    Kushal A. Kanhav, M. A. Chaudhari
    2017 International Conference on Energy Communication Data Analytics and Soft Computing Icecds 2017, 2018
    Hybrid energy systems are becoming increasingly popular due to limited supply of fossil fuels and conventional energy sources. Bidirectional power control is required in hybrid electric/fuel cell vehicles. Thus, hybrid electric/fuel cell vehicles have encouraged the development of bidirectional dc-dc converters. In this paper, a new bidirectional multi-port dc-dc converter with effective charging of energy storage source is presented, which leads to increased reliability. Energy sources having distinct V-I characteristics can be interfaced to the converter. The input sources and load are isolated with each other without using transformer, throughout the operation of the converter. The load voltage is regulated irrespective of the dynamics at the input and output side using Proportional and Integral controllers. The operating condition decides the working modes of the converter i.e. buck, boost and buck-boost mode. The analysis, design and simulation results of the converter proved its suitability for hybrid or renewable energy system applications.
  • Experimental realization of a multi-input buck–boost DC–DC converter
    Kushal A. Kanhav, M. Chaudhari
    Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, 2018
    In this paper, steady and dynamic performance of a multi-input buck–boost DC–DC converter is presented. The converter has the ability to supply energy from storage and renewable energy sources individually to the load. It maintains a constant output voltage under various transient conditions of load as well as source. It has the capability to operate in buck, boost, and buck–boost modes of operation. The mathematical model of the converter is developed, which is further used to design controllers for the converter. A laboratory prototype is developed for experimental realization of the converter. The analysis, design, simulation, and experimental results of the converter prove that it is suitable in hybrid electric or renewable energy systems application.
  • A reliable multiple input DC-DC converter for hybrid power system
    Kushal A. Kanhav, Madhuri A. Chaudhari
    Proceedings of the 2017 2nd IEEE International Conference on Electrical Computer and Communication Technologies Icecct 2017, 2017
    A multiple input non-isolated DC-DC converter with improved reliability is presented in this paper. The proposed converter can supply energy from storage and renewable energy sources independently to the load. It can work in buck, boost and buckboost modes depending on the operating conditions. It has the ability to maintain constant output voltage during transient conditions of load as well as source. PI controllers are used for generating appropriate pulse width modulated switching signals. In addition, it can also provide charging of storage type source through PV module when its terminal voltage drops below specified value. Steady state and small signal analysis of the converter using state space averaging method is also discussed. Simulation results prove that the converter can be used in hybrid electric or renewable power systems.

    Multiple-input dc-dc converters are preferred where different energy sources are integrated to satisfy load demand. In this paper performance analysis of a multiple-input dc-dc converter for interfacing dissimilar energy sources is presented. The converter can supply energy from storage and renewable energy sources independently to the load. It provides isolation between source and load without using transformer. It can work in buck, boost and buck-boost modes depending on the operating conditions. The mathematical model of the converter is developed which is used to design the control strategy for the converter. The output voltage is regulated at desired value during transient conditions of load as well as source using Proportional and Integral controllers. Analysis, design and simulation studies of the converter proved that the converter is suitable for hybrid electric and renewable energy systems applications.
