Engineering Technology & Applied Science Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 14977 - 14987

Published: Aug. 2, 2024

The implementation of a decentralized energy system has the potential to improve life quality people who live in remote rural areas with limited or nonexistent power sources. Renewable technologies can be very important production power. main purpose this study is assess Jeje, Nigeria's wind potential, using reanalysis and analysis dataset. To aim, data on speed at height 10 m were gathered from variety sources, including EAR5, EAR5 Ag, Land, CFSR, MERRA-2. Weibull distribution function, commonly employed evaluate was utilized. A maximum density value 15.75 W/m2 obtained when MERRA-2 dataset implemented. results indicate that large-scale turbines are not viable alternative area. Thus, performance six turbines, expressed by output cut ranging between 1 1.5 m/s, investigated. demonstrated AWI-E1000T most efficient turbine under consideration. In addition, it been shown each considered installed area based acquired CFSR.

Engineering Technology & Applied Science Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 15422 - 15428

Published: Aug. 2, 2024

Multilevel inverters are becoming prevalent due to their remarkable attributes, including ability withstand high voltage shocks and accommodate capacity. As a result, they find extensive applications in grid-connected inverter systems utilizing photovoltaic (PV) panels electric drive for motors. However, power quality is heavily reliant on current controls modulation techniques. Conventional methods typically employ fixed frequency carriers modulation, lacking inherent control signal information. In response this challenge, study proposes novel method multilevel phase-modulated carriers. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed approach nominal operation, showcasing reduction Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) by 15.92% 48.5% decrease highest individual harmonic amplitude compared conventional using phase opposite disposition. Moreover, switching count also decreased 26.37%.
