A Short Review on Energy Crisis in Pakistan and Sustainable Energy Solutions
Abstract: Energy plays an important role in the economy of a developing country like Pakistan. Energy crises have become a major issue all over the world. World population is increasing and the conventional energy resources are decreasing day by day. Pakistan unfortunately has a wide gap between energy production and requirement. The government of Pakistan must take some wise decisions to narrow this gap. Pakistan is a blessed country with different …

Intelligent Smart Battery-Based Storage for Wind Generator and Photovoltaic Systems
Abstract: In this paper, an intelligent savvy battery-based storage (BBS) system for wind generator (WG) and photovoltaic (PV) frameworks has been presented. The BBS is made out of an asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (ACMI) with staircase regulation. The structure is parallel to the WG and PV frameworks, enabling the ACMI to have a decrease in power misfortunes contrasted with the typical solution for capacity associated at the DC connection of …

Optimal Tuning of PID Controller for a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) Using Ant Colony Optimization
Abstract: Ant colony optimization (ACO)-based proportional integral derivative (PID) controller has been proposed for tuning optimized PID parameters in a continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process. In our proposed work, we have found that the tuning should have minimum value for rise time, peak time, settling time, etc. to be effective to design a CSTR system by optimal PID tuning. The simulation results of the proposed work reveal that the ACO-based PID …

THD Comparison of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverters
Abstract: In this paper, we simply compare the total harmonic distortion (THD) of different levels of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. The major drawback of any inverter is THD. In this paper, comparison of THD is carried out for 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 level inverters using MATLAB Simulink. In this paper, we use level-shifted multicarrier modulation, and also we show how THD is reduced as we increase the …
