PSO-Optimised Wireless Power Transfer System for Efficient Dynamic Charging of Electric Vehicles Sachin Kumar, Sachin Thakur, Rohit Kumar, Syed Hassan Imam Gardezi, Indu Sharma, Mandeep Kaur Ghumman Conference Proceedings 2025 IEEE Silchar Subsection Conference IEEE Silcon 2025, 2025 This paper offers a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-primarily based Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) device designed for dynamic electric powered car (EV) charging packages. The simulation results show the possibility of the machine to support the high frequency voltage and current waveforms without much variation at some point in the delivery, roadside and vehicle-side coils to provide some stable and effective power switching. The battery charging profile also verifies the constant voltage and modern delivery and puts emphasis on the powerful energy era with minimum losses. Compared to the current WPT structures, it is demonstrated that the proposed PSO-optimized layout is able to reach a superior energy switch overall performance of up to a whole lot of 98, despite providing an approximate energy of just around 8 kW. The research also contains quantitative assessment of PSO convergence properties and computational efficiency in comparison with genetic algorithms the study shows that it is suitable in the field of real time EV controller implementation. These results support the hypothesized scalability and dependability of the proposed device to a real-world global dynamic EV charging platform, which is part of the improvements to the sustainable transportation era. The next stage in the work will concern hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation and experimental testing of the suggested system.
Simulation and Analysis of Grid Connected SPV system Using Eleven-Level Cascaded H-bridge Multilevel Inverter Systems Sachin Thakur, Kamalkant Sharma, Akhil Gupta Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024 Various advantages of Multiple-Level Inverter (MLI) allow this technology to have numerous applications.In this paper, a topology for eleven level MLI setup for medium-voltage with superior performance has been proposed.This topology is capable to interface with a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) module which ultimately generates power to connected grid.Thus, the system is designed to distribute solar energy to the grid.MLI topology consisting of twenty switches is interfaced with grid and a cascaded transformer is fed from a SPV as DC source.MATLAB simulations are conducted for the SPV grid and cascaded transformer connected grid to the eleven-level Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) MLI system.The paper examines various output characteristics at various coupling points of SPV, grid, and MLI.Finally, the outcomes from the simulation confirm the working of proposed MLI "design configuration" and "control technique" under different stochastic conditions.
Integrating Solar Photovoltaic Systems with Multilevel Inverter Topology for Enhanced Grid Connectivity Sachin Thakur, Kamalkant Sharma, Akhil Gupta Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics Intelligent Control and Energy Systems Icpeices 2024, 2024 The integration of customized power devices into so-lar Photovoltaic (SPV) systems holds significant promise, offering enhanced power stability, voltage and current ride-through capa-bilities, and controlled power flow. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of a grid-connected system utilizing the Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) design with SPV as the primary DC source. A Simulink model for an SPV Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controlled system employing a cascaded H-bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHB MLI) with bidirectional switches is developed. The study compares the performance of CHB MLIs at 7-level, 9-level, and L1-level, yielding precise simulation results.

This work builds a Simulink model for a solar PV Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controlled system using a cascaded H-bridge bridge (CHB) Multilevel inverter (MLI) with bidirectional switches that can synthesize numerous output voltage levels. Failure recognition and determination of conceivable failure source driving to the total or halfway loss of efficiency in a lattice-associated PV system. The analytic technique is important for the checking system permitting, at the same time, displaying and reproducing the entire framework and factors estimations progressively. The calculation of faults is based on the analysis of replicated and estimated yields by breaking down the faults that are present in the system, while the determination of the type of losses is finished by analyzing and contrasting the amount of errors deviation of both Direct Current (DC) and voltage regarding asset of errors limits evaluated using a free issue system. Analyze the stability indices during transient conditions at load or grid side and mitigate various Power Quality (PQ) issues due to an unsymmetrical fault during transient conditions by employing a custom power device with the proposed system.
Performance Analysis of Stability indices during Transient condition in Photovoltaic system Sachin Thakur, Kamalkant Sharma, Akhil Gupta 2022 IEEE 10th Power India International Conference Piicon 2022, 2022 Using renewable energy sources to mitigate the effects of numerous transient conditions on electric power systems is a prominent topic for researchers for electric utilities. Analyzing systems behaviors under transient conditions indicates which parameters influence power system stability, particularly when Solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy sources are present with multilevel inverter in those systems. Due to various expected cost savings in PV systems, the use of PV power generation would become widely available in the future. To enhance the performance of the PV system, many elements such as PV array design, solar irradiance, and temperature must be analyzed. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) with PID device is used for stability of the PV system in transient conditions. In this paper, the primary purpose is the analysis of stability indices during transient condition with Multilevel Inverter (MLI) topology connected system with proposed method.
