Design of a distributed power system using solar PV and micro turbine-based wind energy system with a flywheel energy storage Tharinaematam Bhavani, Durgam Rajababu, Md Mujahid Irfan, T. Rakesh, P. Chandra Sekhar, et al. Scientific Reports, 2026 As renewable energy sources gain distinction in distributed power generation, micro-grid systems integrating solar photovoltaic (PV), micro-turbine-based wind energy, and flywheel energy storage have developed as sustainable solutions. This paper presents a novel design methodology for a hybrid micro-grid system that optimally integrates these components, ensuring enhanced efficiency, resilience, and stability. In a grid outage or weak-grid scenario, a flywheel provides instant backup until wind/solar/storage catches up. The distributed nature ensures that local power supply is maintained, thereby reducing blackout risks. Flywheels avoid chemical waste, unlike batteries. The proposed hybrid micro-grid system represents an innovative approach to distributed power generation in terms of triple energy sources and storage type is in the form of mechanical and the response speed is ultra fast (few milli seconds), fast response time (milliseconds), ideal for voltage/frequency regulation Handling sudden load changes or source fluctuations high reliability due to multiple backups and high sustainability. This hybrid system is suitable for decentralized operation, which allows each unit to make local decisions. This research contributes to advancing micro-grid technology, supporting the transition towards sustainable and resilient energy infrastructures. A key contribution of this work is the design of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for dynamic energy management and control of DC–DC converters. Advanced control algorithms (like fuzzy logic, manage real-time source prioritization, power quality regulation, and energy storage control). It enables multi-input, multi-output decision-making that traditional PID or rule-based controllers can’t handle efficiently. Handles nonlinear, variable, and uncertain conditions better than conventional methods. Comparative analysis reveals that the FLC outperforms conventional PID controllers, offering a significantly faster dynamic response and reducing output ripples to a greater extent. This leads to improved power quality, enhanced system life, and optimized energy utilization.
A versatile three-level CLLC resonant converter for off-board EV chargers with wide voltage adaptability contribution Chandra Babu Guttikonda, Pinni Srinivasa Varma, Malligunta Kiran Kumar, Kambhampati Venkata Govardhan Rao, Rakesh Teerdala, et al. International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems, 2025 The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept has gained significant attention in the last decade due to its potential to enhance direct current (DC) microgrid stability and reliability. Electric vehicles (EVs) play a central role in distributed energy storage systems, optimizing efficiency and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources. This study offers a unique three level CLLC resonant converter developed for off-board EV chargers to promote bidirectional power transfer between DC microgrids and EVs. The suggested converter uses resonant CLLC components and two three-level full bridges to effectively handle a broad range of EV battery voltages (200 V–700 V). To ensure effective power conversion, the first harmonic approximation (FHA) model is used to analyse the converter's resonant frequency characteristics. The proposed system achieves high efficiency (>95%), with voltage stability maintained at 750 V under various load conditions. The converter's performance was validated through MATLAB based simulations, comparing proportional integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) control strategies. The PID-controlled system demonstrated superior dynamic response, reduced current ripples, and enhanced voltage regulation compared to the PI-controlled system. This study demonstrates the viability of implementing a three-level CLLC resonant converter for efficient, bidirectional, and wide-voltage adaptation in EV charging infrastructure, thereby contributing to grid stability and renewable energy integration.
