A Study on Optimizing Energy Generation: Techno-Economic Assessment for Floating Solar Panels with Fixed and Dual-Axis Tracking Systems in Bangladesh
This research will conduct a comprehensive assessment of energy generation optimization through the implementation of floating solar panels equipped with both fixed and dual-axis tracking systems in Bangladesh. The research will thoroughly evaluate technological feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact associated with these solar panel configurations. Bangladesh will look to PV technology as a promising solution for clean energy. Given the limited land availability and challenges associated with rooftop PV systems, floating PV systems will be increasingly considered a viable alternative. The research will examine the extent of floating photovoltaic systems in Bangladesh, considering climatic suitability and economic capacity, to determine their feasibility and potential in addressing the country's energy crisis.
Spider Web coil based resonant coupled Mid-range wireless power transfer (WPT) in implantable devices
The Spider Web coil-based resonant coupled mid-range wireless power transfer (RCWPT) system is a specific application of wireless power transfer technology designed for powering contactless implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers, neurostimulators, and insulin pumps to eliminate the need for invasive procedures and to replace batteries in these devices. In this research, a spider web coil will be used to resonate at a specific frequency to match the transmitter coil, improving energy transfer efficiency. In the context of mid-range RCWPT, it will be designed to transfer power over a longer distance. The use of mid-range WPT technology in implantable devices must adhere to strict safety standards to ensure that the transfer of power does not harm the patient, and electromagnetic interference with other medical devices or bodily functions is minimized.
Design, Modelling and Fabrication of Symmetric Five-level Inverter for industrial applications
In this research, we have proposed LCL and LC filters for a symmetric five-level inverter, where the overall efficiency is increased compared to other research works and cost is sufficiently optimized. Simulation software is used to check the fundamental value of voltages, currents, and ripple factors of the DC outputs. In addition, the RMS value of output voltage and current, and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the specified filter is also measured and reduced significantly. By considering the electrical parameters, the superior performance of the designed LCL filters was achieved. In addition, this analysis shows the effect of damping resistors also. Furthermore, a prototype has also been made for the validity of simulation results. In fact, the resonance frequency peak can be lowered by using the dampers. We have examined the outputs of the filters that could be lowered THD reduction and confirmed the resonance frequency also.
Stability Augmentation of Hybrid Power System including DFIG-Based Wind Turbines using Robust Virtual Synchronous Generator
Due to massive integration of inverter-based wind turbines (WTs) into the grid system, the overall system inertia is reduced. Thus, the power system can be unstable during severe network disturbance condition due to use of traditional inverter control mechanism of WT. This project will develop a smart virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control mechanism of variable speed wind turbine with doubly fed induction generator (VSWT-DFIG) to augment the power system transient stability. The proposed VSG control mechanism will mimic the characteristics of conventional synchronous generator (SG) and will support the power system during severe fault condition.
A modular scalable SCADA system for energy monitoring and control of a Higher Learning Institution
In the dynamic landscape of power distribution, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system emerges as an indispensable tool for real-time monitoring and control. The aim of this project is to implement a scalable SCADA system customized for the power distribution networks of educational institutions. This system seeks to significantly enhance the efficiency, reliability, and safety of the institution's electrical infrastructure through the implementation of centralized control and monitoring, complemented by a secure website component for monitoring and controlling.
