Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) on Photovoltaic Panels using Fuzzy Logic MethodAhmad Faizal, Sutoyo, Mulyono et al.Solar energy is a clean energy, renewable, and available for the long term. The tool used to convert the energy generated from the intensity of sunlight into electricity is photovoltaic panels. However, due to the high cost and low efficiency, the use of the energy is still kind small compared to other types of energy sources. Thus, the need for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Aug 2016 · 8,498 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation of Fuzzy Logic Maximum Power Point Tracking Controller for Photovoltaic SystemRasoul Rahmani, Mohammadmehdi Seyedmahmoudian, Saad Mekhilef, Rubiyah YusofIn this study, simulation and hardware implementation of Fuzzy Logic (FL) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) used in photovoltaic system with a direct control method are presented. In this control system, no proportional or integral control loop exists and an adaptive FL controller generates the control signals. The designed and integrated system is a contribution of different aspects which includes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 5 Mar 2013 · 7,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture of an Ultra-Low-Power Fully Autonomous Universal Power Conditioner of Energy Harvester for Wireless Sensor Networks: A ReviewYeo Kim Heng, Md. Shabiul Islam, Susthitha Menon et al.A fully autonomous Universal Power Conditioner (UPC) that can accept energy from any micro-energy harvester (e.g., photovoltaic, thermoelectric, electromagnetic, piezoelectric etc.) is proposed. Generally, UPC removes the need of multiple optimized source specific converters. But, the proposed UPC architecture will be Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) with maximized efficiency to support the low energy levels generated by harvesting sources. This UPC uses a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,782 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Simulation of a Novel Switched Reluctance Motor Drive System with Power Factor ImprovementG. Venkatesan, R. Arumugam, M. Vasudevan et al.This study presents a novel Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive system with power factor improvement. Recently, many of the converters with variable speed drives have no input power factor correction circuits. This results in harmonic pollution of the utility supply, which should be avoided. The effect of power factor variation in terms of harmonic content is also analyzed in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,096 accessesView PDF Cite
