    To achieve an excellent grounding system, an alternative solution was developed by using enhancement material to modify the soil surrounding the rod. These materials can effectively reduce soil resistivity and grounding resistance for a better grounding system. To achieve this goal, the fundamental part must be taken into account. In this study, the main objective is to analyze different concrete orientations as enhancement material in the grounding system. A 3-D orientation of concrete has been designed using Finite Element Method (FEM) software to analyze the performance of the electric field in the grounding system with different orientation of concrete. Every orientation of concrete had been clarified into four different cases which are full concrete, half concrete, three-quarter concrete, and a quarter concrete. From the result, full concrete is the best orientation of concrete design to be employed at the grounding site as it has a low electric field compared to the other concrete orientation.

    In 2011 alone, Malaysia has spent a hefty RM14.5 billion in buying fossil fuels to generate electricity. With the cost of fossil fuels rising each year, the nation is looking to rely on more sustainable energy sources. One way to decrease the reliance on fossil fuel is to minimize electricity consumption or use renewable energy sources. This research tests if it is feasible to run the Swinburne campus with Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. This study aims to design and implement a PV energy system to power Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak. The design of the PV system is performed with the collection of the solar irradiance in Kuching, load profile of the Campus and the area required to layout the panels. Block-E of Swinburne is chosen for the PV system since all Swinburne blocks together consume very high power and do not have the required area for the panels. A Grid-Tied system is considered for the PV design. MATLAB software is used to size the PV system. Economic analysis such as Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and payback period is studied for the PV system.

    Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading allows surplus energy to be traded between distributed energy resources (DER) and prosumers in the community microgrid. In Malaysia, P2P energy trading is still under development, where it is expected to be exclusively participated by commercial and industrial prosumers. This paper proposes how a motivational psychology framework can be used effectively to design P2P energy trading to increase user participation for residential prosumer. All the data such as power consumption and solar energy value are adjusted and modelled in such a way to facilitate the calculation of P2P energy trading in Malaysia. An auction-based P2P market clearing model is then proposed and solved by using the Linear Programming optimization approach. The numerical results show the sustainability and the potential of the proposed P2P energy trading model to attract residential customers to participate in energy trading.

    Photovoltaic (PV) energy is increasingly recognized as an environmentally friendly source of renewable energy. Integrating PV systems into power grids involves power electronic inverters, adding complexity and evolving traditional grids into smarter systems. Ensuring the reliability of decentralized PV generation is crucial, particularly as PV systems are often exposed to extreme weather conditions. This study investigates the impact of temperature and solar radiation on the performance of a PV array, focusing on key characteristics such as open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current (ISC), and maximum power (PMAX). Using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations, the study analyses these characteristics under varying temperatures (5°C to 45°C) and radiation levels (200 W/m² to 1200 W/m²). Results indicate that VOC increases with higher irradiance but decreases with higher temperatures. ISC increases with both higher radiation and temperature, while PMAX is optimized at high irradiance and low temperatures. The impulse withstand voltage (Vimp), a critical factor for PV system reliability, is assessed according to the PD CLC/TS 50539-12 standard. Findings reveal that at low temperatures and high radiation, the Vimp requirement is highest, emphasizing the need for robust voltage protection in PV systems. These insights underscore the importance of considering local climate conditions and implementing effective thermal management to enhance the performance and reliability of PV systems.

    Over the past centuries, discovery and utilization of fossil fuels has revolutionized the world pushing societies towards modernization. This source of energy that is being referred as black gold, has faced extensive consumption which consequently started to underpin the acceptance of the negative effects of our carbon society and its likely demise. Fossil fuels have costed the safety and overall health of our environment, causing serious consequences such as global warming and unsustainability. To this end, in the search for alternative generation, the potential of renewables was realized and hence, exploited in the energy sector. In recent times, development of efficient prime movers and possible utilization of renewable energy resources for both power and heat production introduced the concept of cogeneration to the energy sector. Accordingly, this comparative research elaborates on utilization of the most available and versatile renewable energy, biomass, in combined heat and power technology. There is no doubt that the integration of bioenergy and cogeneration is associated with significant advantages, namely: lower environmental impacts and primary energy savings. In this context, four different biomass-fueled configurations are developed for the purpose of electrifying the Masset village in Canada. Two well-known methods of: Direct Combustion and Gasification are considered in the model development. Further, a comparative conclusion is drawn from economic perspective.

    The study of photovoltaic energy and load predictions have become essential with the increase of energy demand. The objective of this paper is to present an analytical study on the performance of photovoltaic system with various azimuth angles and solar array tilt positions. The output power of a solar module is mainly dependent on its tilt position, solar irradiation, type of solar cell, and the technical properties of the module. The data used in this work consist of two different locations. The outcome of this work shows that the energy production influenced heavily on the weather conditions, location, azimuth angles and tilt positions. Within this work, parameters such as planes-of-array irradiance, net to inverter output power, net to grid output power and performance ratio have been studied. The developed analytical study is anticipated to provide a better understanding on the energy production and load usage in accordance with suitable tilt angle of solar array in a specific location.

    This paper proposed the modelling and simulation of generator protection for power system using digital reverse power relay. The operations of the power plant are often interrupted by the reverse power generation. Therefore, generators need to be closely monitored and controlled. In this study, 11 kV synchronous generators are connected to 220 kV load through a step-up transformer, and a new model of reverse power relay is added for generator protection. The reverse power relay proposed in this paper is a digital relay with high accuracy and high reacting speed. Several cases based on various types of mechanical inputs to the generator were studied to test the operation of the reverse power relay. This simulation was done using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the 11 kV generator protection is successful with this new model reverse power relay. Besides, the simulation results were similar result compared to the theory result. From the simulation results, the integral output of the relay will reach the threshold value 'L' whenever there is a reversed power flow fault found in the system. Consequently, the relay will be triggered to provide protection for the generator. This model has been added into online resources of MATLAB Power System Tools. In addition, this model may also help the engineers to develop the analytical skills under various conditions.

    In electric power system, transformers are an important element and their protection are critical. As the transformer might be damaged during a fault, faster and more selective protection was required. For this purpose, the design of differential protection was utilized. In this study, the differential relay simulation has been successfully done using MATLAB/Simulink. The essential approach is to protect the power transformer against internal faults and avoid interference in the power system. The evaluation has been accomplished at different fault conditions. Several types of faults including double line-to-ground, single line-to-ground and line-to-line faults are studied. Simulation studies were performed and the relays performance with different system parameters and conditions were investigated. The obtained results illustrated for the differential relay represents an appropriate action.
