    This paper presents a case study of a remote village dependent on agriculture currently grid connected. The remote village consists of 10 houses. The latitude and longitude of the study area are 35° 20´ N and 43° 15´ E respectively. The proposed model consists of photovoltaic (PV) array, wind energy subsystem, micro hydro, diesel generator and battery storage sub-system. The aim of this paper is to present optimization of distributed energy resources DERs includes distribution generation with battery backup and to provide a reliable, continuous, sustainable, and good-quality electricity service to the users in the village using HOMER model. Among 1104 simulations, 3 cases was designated and analysed. It was found that the optimal case is wind, hydro, diesel generator, convertor and batteries. Economical Distance Limit (EDL) for optimal case was calculated and found equal to 3.55km. Emissions were calculated and compared.

    Increasing the effectiveness of photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems is a major barrier to their widespread use. Partial shading conditions (PSCs), which are caused by nearby objects like trees, buildings, and clouds, reduce the energy produced by PV systems and may be mitigated by the reconfiguration of PV arrays. A novel approach dubbed a modified series-parallel (MSP) setup, was suggested in this paper and compares its performance to four PV configuration strategies: series-parallel (SP), total-cross-tied (TCT), bridge-linked (BL), and honey-comb (HC). A 3×3 solar array is used in five partial shading arrangements. MATLAB/Simulink simulates all shading conditions. This study indicated that MSP delivers high performance and is superior to all other configurations in terms of maximum power in even and uneven row-shaded cases. in the case of an even column shaded, the performance of (SP, BL, HC, and TCT) was equal in terms of the maximum power obtained, while MSP was the least...

    Many applications in biomedical engineering based on Electromyography signal (EMG) by interface that It will be used effectively within the scientific application of human-robot interaction (HRI) in a very structured and dynamic environment. In HRI applications, we principally specialize in the illustration of automaton work pieces. First, we distinguish between the assorted ideas of representational process, and that we introduce purposeful anthropomorphism to represent a person's movement for human robots, given the functional limitations obligatory by some people. Robots are useful in many ways and serve various purposes. The humanrobot interface has been acknowledged in the past. Electromyography (EMG) is the measurement of nerve signal due to the contracting muscles. In this work, a humanoid robot is controlled through electrical signals acquired from a user's arm. This work consists of three main parts, which are as follows: First, the robot arm's motion was controlled using six variable resistors in order to calculate how much effort the servo would need to move at the desired angle. Second, The EMG signals are obtained from the muscles of the hand by using sensors placed on sites on the arm, where the voltage resulting from muscle contraction and relaxation is measured, and the highest value for the voltage is taken when contracting and the lowest value for the voltage when relaxing. Third, A connection between the real human arm and the robot arm is designed in full synchronization where the results that were calculated in the first paragraph of the work were calibrated with the results that were calculated from the second paragraph.

    Magnetic levitation could be a technique during which associate degree object is suspended within the air by a flux, except once magnetic attraction and superconducting materials are during a magnetic field and management led by a magnetic field employing a control technique. The manipulation of the magnetic field by the steering method is performed to levitate an object. The task of the control is to use a controlled current to the coil in order that the attraction performing on the levitating object and therefore the gravitation acting on it are precisely the same. The flight system is inherently unstable with none control action. It is sensible not solely to win the article however additionally to remain within the desired position or perpetually follow a given route. Here, a hybrid intelligent controller (HIC) is meant for the magnetic flight system. First, a classical controller has been developed for the system and simulation, which ends up during a trailing error of below 0.001 m. to resolve the on top of problem, the HIC is designed for the system by taking the Virtual Reality (VR) model of the system. The output of the controller is in the (0.5 ~ 1) voltage range. The tracking of the reference signal is additionally verified within the simulation, and therefore the trailing error is among 0.00012 m. A general simulation of the projected system has been administrated with the appearance of MATLAB 2020a, and the obtained satisfactory results demonstrate sensible applicability the proposed system design.

    The paper focuses on power system modeling that gives priorities to realize and store the maximum power radiated out of the sun to feed a definite primary load. The power of the sun can be stored in different ways based on PV modules employed by renewable solar systems. The infinite abundance of the natural environmental resources classifies the solar system as the major sustainable energy resources. The challenge starts by reducing the cost via converting the sunlight into energy based on photovoltaic cells. Consequently, the sun tracking system shows endless interaction and support to improve the efficiency of the systems. The main challenge of this proposed idea is realizing the maximum sun power denoted as MPP (maximum power point) which is considered the most effective and energetic spot overpower storage curves. MPPT indicates the maximum power point realized during a specific time. In accordance, a tracking system is employed in order to follow the sun trajectory, direction, ...

    There are different sustainable energy sources in the word. The solar energy is the most global source that contains an enormous of energy. The Photovoltaics (PV) is a tool that converts the sunlight into electrical power to supply different types of buildings. In this paper, a proposed Neural Networks (NN) tool is used to determine the main parameters and required equipment of the PV system to produce the power for a given building or city. Fives input are chosen for NN which are: the load of the building, sunlight intensity, mean time of available sunlight per day, dust ratio and the air humidity. The input parameters were chosen for its effectiveness on the PV capabilities, the numerical values of the input are normalized to unity number and general use of the proposed method. The response of the NN will determine the required PV no. and its connection type in addition to the size of batteries that will save the produced power and finally the main mechanical variables of the PV i...

    The efficiency of renewable energy system using wind is normally affected by several factors. The work in this paper focuses only on two of these factors: performance and cost. Three locations in three different big cities in Iraq were taken in a comparison. The anemometer height played an important role in this comparison. The comparison based on anemometer height results. Three different heights were taken. These are 9, 5, and 3 meters. As a performance, the simulation results show an effective output power at Amarah city. It was around 355kW using Northern Power wind turbine with anemometer height of 9 meters. According to cost, the lowest was at Nasiriyah city with anemometer height of 5 meters.

    This paper investigates the effect of diesel generator characteristics on the design optimization of a hybrid, off-grid, and micro-power system in Baghdad city. Four case studies, including diesel generator loading ratio, lifetime, fuel consumption and fuel type were implemented based on HOMER software. HOMER assign the lower cost combination of hybrid system components to attain the lower total net present cost for 25 years of system lifetime. The obtained results show a close relationship between system optimization and these generator characteristics.

    The generation of electrical energy varies depending on the needs of the user, initial requirements, capacity, intended use, waste generation, and economic efficiency. In order to meet the challenges of the proposed overvoltage of the presented system, it is possible to use the solar collectors and profit from them economically through smart grid smart control systems. The mathematical model with four main parts was created: simulation, correlation, and evaluation according to the solar program set of photovoltaic solar modules, maximum power point tracking (MPPT), an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller, and 600-volt electric network. Then in this phase, the investigation of the effects on the network on the basis of the output power with the coincidence of radiation and the effect of temperature in the network is carried out. An analysis was carried out to evaluate the impact of these fundamental limitations in practical application. In this section, the simula...

    The characteristics of lead acid batteries are normally affected by several factors such as (discharge depth, the enclitic temperature, battery storage, transportation, and installation, etc.), in turn, affect the design of solar systems. In this work we focused on the battery's performance, cost and shortage factors and their effects on the design. Four types of HOPPECKE battery were chosen in this work. The max annual capacity shortage is changed over (10, 20, and 30) % to realize cost control assumption. The paper proved that the optimum results are obtained by using HOPPECKE H800 battery type with respect to the performance and cost in case of (30%) shortage. On the other hand, the cost of the proposed solar system is reduced by using HOPPECKE H600 in case of (10% and 20%) shortage.

    The signal coverage area is considered a controversial point that is solved and discussed wisely in this paper. The designers usually concentrate only on satisfying the controllability of the quadcopter module without discussing the coverage range between the transmitter and the receiver. This paper shows a smart design method of a low-cost quadcopter device controlled by a GPS. Moreover, the modern control system was designed to control the plane by creating an integration between the control unit and the PID system, which allowed the system to reach stability very fast and the peak overshoot was eliminated. The control system of the quadcopter calibrates the Pitch, Roll, Twist, which located on x,y,z axes respectively depending on the altitude sensor. Under the GPS act, the entire frame will be allocated in the covered area which was specified by 500 meters. This specification keeps the quadcopter in the required range and the tipping down accidents will be unexpected. Finally, th...

    However, the design, control, and optimization of the hybrid systems are usually very complex tasks; the stand-alone hybrid solar–diesel power generation system is recognized generally more suitable than systems that only have one energy source for supply of electricity to off-grid applications. A proposed PV system has been designed and optimized using HOMER software computer model to supply a potato cooled store in Kirkuk city in Iraq. The result obtained from the optimization gives the cost of energy (COE) is 0.639 US$/kWh with 2axis trucking system and 0.692 US$/kWh with no trucking system. Energy cost is 0.796 US$/kWh when the load is supplied by the diesel generator alone.

    Correct calculations of losses are important for several reasons. There are two basic methods that can be used to calculate technical energy losses, a method based on subtraction of metered energy purchased and metered energy sold to customers and a method based on modeling losses in individual components of the system. For considering the technical loss in distribution system included: transmission line losses, power transformer losses, distribution line losses and low-voltage transformer losses. This work presents an evaluation of the power losses in Kirkuk electric distribution system area and submit proposals and appropriate solutions and suggestions to reduce the losses. A program under Visual Basic was designed to calculate and evaluate electrical energy losses in electrical power systems.

    Solar panels work best in certain weather conditions, but the weather is changing always, so most panels do not operate under ideal conditions. Design optimization of photovoltaic (PV) modules with changing in the environmental parameters, such as solar irradiance and temperature is presented in this work for Kirkuk city based on HOMER software. Our system consists of series-parallel combination of solar PV panels, maximum power point tracking controller (MPPT), batteries and converter. Four case studies using different types of sun tracking systems considering temperature effects were presented. The optimum system design which has the minimum cost of energy (COE) and total net present cost (NPC) was achieved when we adopt two-axis tracking system. Both NPC and COE were found inversely proportion with temperature coefficient of power, and direct proportion with operating cell temperature.

    The use of solar energy to heat water is the more critical application of solar energy. Researchers are trying to develop different methods to improve the efficiency of solar water heaters to meet the increasing demand for hot water due to global population growth. To reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of solar heaters, the solar collector and the storage tank are combined into one part, and this system is called solar storage collector. It can be defined as geometric shapes filled with water, painted black, and placed under the influence of sunlight to gain the largest amount of solar energy. This article presents the various designs of solar storage collector. This review showed that design variables and design shape significantly affect the efficiency of the solar heating system. Climate and operational factors also have a strong influence on the performance of solar heating. Furthermore, scientists and researchers have also used nanotechnology, solar cells, and mirrors ...

Both quantity and volume of MSW have continued to increase with the rapid growth of city population. The population of Kirkuk city, on average, has increased by 3% per annum over the past two decades. The population of Kirkuk city is predicted to increase from 1,050,000 in 2008 to 1,445,556 in 2020. The generation of waste is expected to grow in the future with the rise of city population. The daily waste generation is projected to 1000 tone in 2011. By 2021, the daily waste will amount to 1200 tones. The waste to electricity suggested project in Kirkuk and the choice of electricity generation technology, would lead to improved electricity supply and efficient waste management in the city, and is expected to contribute to technology transfer in this new area. Landfill or Bio-digestor technology seems to be the most preferred technology for Kirkuk city to start with. Potential power for a plant sourcing from the MSW mass to be fed into the national grid was estimated at 5 MW. Equivalent CO 2 emission in the absence of waste to electrical energy project and the emission by proposed project were calculated. The reduction in CO 2 emission is 87.4%.
