    Solar power plays a vital role in renewable energy systems as it is clean, sustainable, pollution-free energy, as well as increasing electricity costs which lead to high demands among customers. The main purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to designing a DC-DC boost converter for a standalone connected photovoltaic system with constant output voltage. A controller system DC-DC boost converter is designed to minimise losses and maintain at a particular value. The converter can increase a fluctuating voltage of the solar panel to an increased constant DC voltage. It uses voltage feedback to maintain constant output voltage. The controller is therefore designed as the heart of the closed loop system and offers pulse-width-modulation signal for control of the power electronic device in a boost converter. The boost converter can direct connection to the photovoltaic system grid-connected inverter. Simulations to describe the design proposed have been performed. Simulation work with the designed 75V output voltage boost converter in continuous driving mode was carried out. The test results show that the design proposed is successful.

    Inverters are commonly used in high power applications for induction motors, air conditioners, and ventilation fans. The use of an inverter can save electricity consumption and maximize consumption on the compressor. The compressor runs slowly at night, when there is little or no activity with the refrigerator. It uses just the correct amount of energy to keep the refrigerator at the right temperature. This is where the energy efficiency comes into play, and it may save you anywhere from 20% to 30% on your electric bill. The purpose of this project is to design a three-phase inverter for use on refrigerator compressors. The focus of this project is to generate and analyze the performance of a three-phase AC voltage that will be connected to the refrigerator compressor to produce a maximum voltage of 220 V that gets the current supply from the socket. In this project, a three-phase inverter is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. At the end of the project, a three-phase inverter successfully produced three-phase voltage and run for load.

    Characteristic Study of Supercapacitor's Discharging Process Base on BLDC Motor
    Energy storage has become a key issue for achieving goals connected with increasing the efficiency of both producers and users. In particular, supercapacitors currently seem to be interesting devices for many applications because they can supply high power for a significant amount of time and can be recharged more quickly than electrochemical batteries. Supercapacitors, as similar to conventional capacitors build on two plates separated by a dielectric and an electrolyte, can store more energy than conventional capacitors because they can produce two distinct layers of separated charges between plates, which are typically made of porous, carbon-based materials. The supercapacitors module serves as the power supply for the discharging process as called Energy Storages (ES). The main purpose of this research is to investigate the behaviour and properties of discharged supercapacitors. The design is created using Simulink and includes a circuit schematic and scope label. Using Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDCM) as a load, study proposed steady state condition and dynamic state condition of BLDCM operation are investigated. With comparison to battery, preliminary finding state that value of SoC and voltage of battery higher but value of current less than supercapacitor in a certain amount of time.

    Total Harmonic Distortion Comparison Analysis between High-Power Density Inverter and Multilevel Inverter
    The inverter is one of the most common things in converting electrical energy supply and it is a very important concept in the current modern electrical power system to utilize the maximum potential by generating the unit while considering the environment within the surrounding area and avoid pollution is the most ideal concept of energy management. The main purpose of this study is to consider which one of the inverters is more suitable for energy saving. There are two kinds of inverter that have been tested for this research which are the High-power density inverter (HPDI) and Multilevel inverter (MLI). In High-power density inverter (HPDI) it uses electrical components such as Insulated-gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) as the main component. As for the Multilevel inverter (MLI) it uses electrical components Metal- oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET) as the main component. Both inverters are being implemented and running by using MATLAB Simulink software. Besides that, the result is obtained by comparing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the output of the waveform and energy efficiency for both inverters.

    Implementation of Two-Stage Multilevel Inverter System using PIC Controller
    In this study, the Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CMLI) is described for use with infrared dryer loads. Because of the low harmonic distortion content and reduced voltage stress in the switching devices, CMLI is one of particular interest. The CMLI topology and the Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulsed Width Modulation (SHEPWM) technology were studied and evaluated. To evaluate the inverter, SHEPWM modulation was studied and applied. The system also includes a DC-DC converter. The converter was designed to be used in infrared drying system powered by direct current (DC) power where an increased output voltage is required. This study also presented an evaluation of performance using infrared load of the CMLI based on power used at 100 W. As a result, a comparison of input power was made, and an assessment into the converter's power quality in terms of harmonic content and overall efficiency was conducted. The implementation of the system by hardware had been able to reduce the harmonic to 15.5%.

    9-level Symmetrical Cascaded Switched-Diode with Artificial Bee Colony Optimizer
    Multilevel inverters (MLIs) are power electronic circuits that is used to replace traditional two-level inverters. MLIs allow for more flexible control of the dv/dt and di/dt ratios, as well as a greater number of output levels in voltage and current in staircase waveforms. The design of a traditional multilevel inverter, on the other hand, necessitates additional power switches and has limitations in a broad variety of applications. In this paper, the new approach known as Symmetrical Cascaded Switched-Diode (SCSD) is used to form a nine-level output voltage with fewer switches and its aim to remove low-order harmonics like the 3rd, 5th, and 7th. The switching angles were determined using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Optimizer method and non-linear equations obtained from the Fourier series of the output voltage and current waveform. The suggested circuit was tested with two modulation indices, modelled using PSIM software, and assessed by experimentation. THD for modulation index 0.62 is around 7.09 percent for simulation and 7.7 percent for experimental results, while modulation index 0.84 produces 4.08 percent for simulation and 4.5 percent for experimental results.

    Investigation and Performance Analysis of DC-DC Boost Converter System
    This paper presents the analysis of a closed loop DC-DC boost converter for renewable energy applications such as PV. Most of renewable energy resources produce DC voltage that implied with DC-DC converters to convert their input voltage into a higher or lower voltage level accordingly to their application. However, there are numerous types of devices or applications that used renewable energy. Thus, it means the evolution of using a closed loop boost converter system must occur. The closed-loop system DC-DC boost converter is used to step up the low-level DC voltage to a high level of DC voltage. By varying the input voltage, the performance of boost converter in terms of its output voltage can be obtained and analysed. Several studies were conducted and validated with hardware implementation. All the results are recorded and show that various levels of input voltage can be converted into a fixed value of output voltage by using this converter. To emphasise, the boost converter generated 73.33 V output when an input voltage of 12 V. Whereas this experiment is conducted to analyse the boost converter performance so that can consider if this converter is compatible with the IR dryer system.

    A review on VFD Control and Energy Management System of Induction Motor for Electric Vehicle
    This growing pattern of energy insufficiency will, of course, intensify in the future. According to the literature, variable frequency drives can save a lot of energy by changing the speed of the electrical motor mechanism (VFDs). The aim of these studies and analyses is to improve the efficiency of the electrical device system by using VFD control techniques. This paper outlines the principle of control mechanisms for induction motor drives, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. This paper is intended to serve as a one-stop shop for researchers interested in the topic. However, there appears to be no comprehensive review of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) techniques for induction motor (IM) drives to resolve the need for a detailed insight into IM drives. Efficient control policies for induction motor drives provide a great opportunity for energy savings. As a result, research into the optimal operation of induction motor drives is escalating.
