  • Coupled Induction Machine and HVAC Models for Simulating HVAC Performance Considering Grid Dynamics in Buildings
    Viswanathan Ganesh, Zhanwei He, Jianjun Hu, Sen Huang, Wangda Zuo
    IEEE Access, 2025
    This paper presents the development of novel models that integrate induction machines with HVAC equipment, such as pumps, heat pumps, and chillers, to analyze the impact of electrical parameters on the operational performance of thermo-fluid systems. The proposed model employs a coupling technique that captures the dynamic interactions between induction machines and HVAC systems. By integrating electrical, thermal, and mechanical dynamics, the models provide a comprehensive framework for simulating real-world scenarios, including interactions with the electrical grid. This achievement was made possible through the development of a Computationally Efficient and Accurate Induction Machine (CEAIM) model. Implemented using the equation-based Modelica language, the CEAIM model has been validated against experimental results, manufacturer data sheets, and various operating conditions. Its performance has been compared with existing induction machine models in the Modelica Standard Library (MSL), demonstrating superior accuracy and computational efficiency. The CEAIM model predicts torque, speed, and power consumption with a coefficient of determination ( ${R}^{2}$ ) ranging from 0.98 to 1 and a coefficient of variation of root mean square error (CVRMSE) between 0.27% and 6.67%. Additionally, CEAIM scales more efficiently than conventional MSL models, with a slower computational growth rate in large-scale simulations. After thorough validation of the CEAIM model, it was coupled with HVAC equipment as this approach provides a detailed multi-dimensional view of capturing electrical transients and mechanical performance. To support this, a case study was conducted to showcase its capabilities.
  • Revolutionizing Mobility: The Second Life of Onboard Charging Systems in Commercial Vehicles
    Ganesh, Viswanathan, Muralikrishna, Ajay Krishna Voppu, Isaksson, Björn, Liu, Yujing
    Pcim Europe Conference Proceedings, 2024
    This study investigates the potential for repurposing onboard charging electrical power systems (OCEPS) in commercial vehicles to enhance sustainability and economic efficiency within the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Beginning with market analyses to assess demand for such innovations, the research evaluates the readiness for transitioning to repurposed OCEPS, aiming to overcome existing design limitations and improve energy efficiency and reliability. A critical examination of current onboard charger technology provides opportunities for extending the lifecycle of these chargers beyond the vehicle’s lifespan. This exploration supports the development of a sustainable business model that integrates circular economy principles, economic viability, and environmental stewardship by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste. The study proposes design enhancements to increase technical efficiency and introduces a business model that harmonizes economic and ecological objectives, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy in the electric mobility sector. The findings offer a systematic framework for repurposing onboard chargers, highlighting their potential in fostering technological advancement, economic growth, and environmental balance. This research presents a comprehensive approach to leveraging second life opportunities for onboard chargers, advocating for broader sustainability practices within the electric mobility ecosystem and addressing the challenges of electronic waste.
  • Smart energy monitoring and power quality performance based evaluation of 100-kW grid tied PV system

    Heliyon, 2023
    Globally, the demand for energy from renewable sources is growing due to the increasing electricity consumption and the pollution of fossil fuels. The government has framed various policies to facilitate green energy generation, encouraging renewable energy source usage through PV installations in multiple sectors, including educational institutions. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a methodological approach for analysing the performance of the installed PV system on the rooftop of a university building in Tamil Nadu, India. The site selected is favourable for electricity generation from PV systems with an average global solar radiation of 5.82 kWh/m2day. Solar energy changes periodically with annual and daily variations and is not steady due to seasonal changes. The step-by-step performance assessment and the annual performance of the 100-kW solar PV system, which was instituted in 2019, with the forecasted parameters, are presented in this paper. Therefore, the assessment analysis is carried out in four phases: feasibility assessment, Energy yield assessment, Life cycle assessment, and Power quality assessment. To improve the solar PV output and efficiency, considering the solar irradiation, temperature, wind velocity, etc., PV yield is measured to evaluate the PV system's energy metrics. This paper also considers the carbon credits earned, solar power generated in the location, and the payback period. The power quality assessment is carried out in this paper to test the PV plant's compliance with effective grid integration.

    Internet of Things Applications for Sustainable Development, 2023
    The advancements of internet facility and availability have multi-folded in the past decades. It has provided a test bed to innovate and integrate several sensors and transducers into the current world of the internet. The innovation and advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) have provided a large platform for automation and progress to a sustainable living. Over a period, it has helped to revolutionize the industrial sector with the terminology of IoT 4.0. In the current generation of smart homes and smart grids, they have provided a plethora of options to be discussed for the purpose of automation. Efficient implementation of IoT can lead to a significant rise in energy efficiency and reduce the overall consumption. On the other hand, certain IoT devices can be used in the field of healthcare. This chapter involves the various sensors which can be integrated in smart home and smart grid scenarios along with the transmission of data to the cloud with help of IoT software's and frameworks.

    International Journal of Ambient Energy, 2023
    This study investigates the long-term performance of a 52-kW on-grid solar PV plant in the Mechanical 'C' block, SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST). This article delivers a simple approach that would act as a pivot for PV system assessment. Therefore, methodologies like Energy yield analysis, Energy distribution, and Life cycle costing are implemented. This empowers the methods to facilitate pre-auditing, energy conservation, and economic analysis. The performance ratio and a capacity factor of the 52-kW PV plant in 2020 are determined as 60% and 12.8%, respectively. The study offers that the plant has a less simple payback period and energy pack time for 2020. From this study, the issues identified in the plant are highlighted with the solution. It also paves the way for the researchers to suggest the solutions for the underutilisation of the plant, especially in the situations like fault occurrence, pandemic conditions, etc.
