Feature selection-based irradiance forecast for efficient operation of a stand-alone PV system Vijay Muniyandi, V Kumar Reddy Majji, Manam Ravindra, Ramesh Adireddy, Ashok Kumar Balasubramanian Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation, 2026 Solar irradiance (SI) forecasting and determination of optimum tilt angle (OTA) of photovoltaic (PV) panels are the key strategies for improving the power output of PV systems. Precise SI forecasting offer valuable information regarding the predictable accessibility of solar energy, empowering PV system operators to make informed decisions for PV system optimization. This research uses a bi-directional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) hybrid network to forecast SI. Then, the OTA of the PV module is estimated by applying the forecasted SI data to the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers) SI model. The performance of the Bi-LSTM hybrid network to estimate SI is compared with the observed data and the other existing forecasting models in the literature. The impact of OTA in improving PV power output is evaluated by comparing the solar irradiance received on both tilted and horizontal surfaces. This work has been experimentally implemented using the PV module setup at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. The OTA obtained by the proposed method yielded an increased output PV power compared to all other tilt angle approaches in the literature.

Stator Inter Turn Short Circuit Fault and Voltage Unbalances of Three Phase Induction Motor N. Vasantha Gowri, G Tulasichandra Sekhar, Manam Ravindra, Andhvarapu Kanthi, Sarishma Dangi, S. Senthil Kumar, Krishna Chaithanya Janapati, Kandi Bhanu Prakash 2025 International Conference on Computing Technologies and Data Communication Icctdc 2025, 2025 Induction motors can function effectively under balanced voltage conditions, offering low maintenance and operating costs while being an energy-efficient electromechanical drive. Induction motors are utilized across all industrial processes due to the absence of viable alternatives. Throughout their operation, induction motors experience various stresses that can lead to potential failures. Consequently, there is a loss of time and revenue. The supply system experiences ongoing fluctuations due to minor imbalances in the distribution system. If, for any reason, the voltage imbalance surpasses 3 %, it can be detrimental to induction machines. It is crucial to assess the performance of the drive under the supply of unbalanced scenarios and in the event of an inter-turn stator short circuit fault. This paper presents a derived model of the induction motor for both symmetrical and asymmetrical conditions, aimed at diagnosing performance issues under the supply of unbalanced voltages and short circuit stator inter turn fault.

Closed Loop Control for a Switched-Capacitor Configured Non-Isolated High Step-Up DC Converter Purushotham Endla, Mude Navya Kantha, Manam Ravindra, Murugananth Gopal Rai, Rajesh Thumma, S. Sivakami, Md. Asif, Kandi Bhanu Prakash 2025 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Information Technology Electronics and Intelligent Communication Systems Iciteics 2025, 2025 High step up dc to dc converters are used for many application, but unfortunately conventional configurations are unable to deliver required output due to many limitations. At the same time, an efficient control system must be implemented to archive a smooth output under changes in the system. The output voltage must be regulated at its desired value as per our requirement. However, direct control of voltage will effect on settling time and peak value. Therefore, the regulation of current should be integrated into the proposed control system. A switched-capacitor based non-isolated high step up DC-DC device is implemented in this research work and developed corresponding double loop closed loop control system to achieve the smooth regulation of output voltage and current at its required level. The continuous conduction mode of operation is maintained during the complete operation of the system through proposed method. A detailed modeling of converter and control system is also presented in the paper. The proposed method is tested under changes in input voltage, output reference voltage and load. MATLAB/Simulink package is used to analyze various results under numerous operating conditions.
