Photovoltaic power generation systems operate at maximum power point to maximize the use of solar energy. MPP tracking (MPPT) is usually attained using several traditional methods. But during partial shading conditions, a PV panel shows multiple peaks in power versus voltage curve and traditional methods do not always promise to make operate PV panel at true MPP. This paper introduces modified artificial...

In modern power systems, fault current limiters (FCL) are used to provide protection against high fault currents during electrical faults and thereby, help serve an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the consumers. Among the various technologies available for FCLs, the saturated iron-core superconducting fault current limiter (SISFCL) has gained a lot of attention on account of its ability to...
Electricity demand is mounting around the world due to increased world population. For the years, conventional energy resources have been employed for the purpose of power generation.
