Grid-Tied PV System with Small DC-Link Capacitor and Low-Frequency Ripple-Free Maximum Power Point Tracking
Abstract: This paper proposes a grid-tied cascaded multilevel inverter (CMI) PV system based on current-fed dual-active-bridge DC–DC converters using small dc-link capacitors. The CMI has many advantages, such as modularity, low harmonic spectra, high ac voltage application with low device rating, and low electromagnetic interference. In addition, distributed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) terminal for segmented photovoltaic (PV) arrays can be achieved by CMI PV converter. The low-frequency ripple-free MPPT is …

Using Leather as a Substrate in Rectenna for Devices Consuming Minimal Power
Abstract: This study examines a lightweight, modular receiving wire for power-efficient devices. Despite being compact in size, the suggested receiving wire possesses a high level of directivity and a high transfer rate. Because it is flexible, wearable, tiny, takes little thought, and has amazing characteristics like low dielectric consistency, low misfortune digression, and increased proficiency, polystyrene froth is employed as a substrate. The receiving wire's boundaries, such as return unfortune, gain, …
