This is seen in the increasing use of solar and wind energy as the two most important sources for producing environment-friendly and economically convenient electrical energy. The fluctuating and unstable nature of renewable energy sources makes this type of energy complex to exploit, and related research has therefore mainly focused on Control and optimization. This work proposes an optimized configuration of two hybrid systems designed for a microgrid network with the aim to improve the power supply in isolated areas and provide a low cost, more reliable, and sustainable source of electricity for rural communities that may have limited access to traditional power grids. These hybrid setups consist of an initial system that caters for 10 houses which is then extended to serve 20 houses. Both setups utilize solar and wind energy sources, energy storage batteries, and a diesel generator. Real data collected in the Biskra region in the southeast of Algeria, is used. Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is applied to achieve the optimal size of the hybrid system components through the weighted sum multi-objective approach, whereby three factors, namely, Cost of Electricity, Loss of Power Supply Probability, and Dummy Excess are combined into one objective function. Results of simulation show that the proposed approach achieves highly satisfactory values for the electricity prices in the 10- house and 20-house scenarios, with estimates of 0.15829 $/Kwh and 0.42112 $/Kwh, respectively. </p>2025-03-26T00:00:00-03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://itegam-jetia.org/journal/index.php/jetia/article/view/1477Performance enhancement of wind energy conversion systems using PMSG with backstepping and ANN-based MPPT control2025-04-01T21:29:50-03:00Wassila hattabwassila.hattab@univ-biskra.dzAbdelhamid Benakchaabdelhamid.benakcha@univ-biskra.dzseddik tabetseddik.thabet@univ-biskra.dzAmira slimaniamira.slimani@univ-biskra.dz<p>This paper investigates the performance enhancement of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) specifically designed for standalone, fixed-pitch, variable-speed wind turbines. The study focuses on controlling the PMSG using Backstepping control which enables Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) using the Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) method. Initially, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller was implemented for regulating the generator speed. However, this approach encountered significant limitations, particularly in managing speed overshoot and responsiveness under fluctuating wind conditions. To address these issues, a neural network controller was introduced as a replacement for the conventional PI controller. This neural network controller provides an adaptive control mechanism capable of dynamically adjusting to change, thereby eliminating overshoot and greatly enhancing response speed and overall system stability. This work provides a reliable and efficient control solution where was the proposed control strategy was rigorously evaluated through numerical simulations in Matlab/Simulink, which confirmed its ability to stabilize the system and achieving both steady-state and dynamic optimization of wind energy conversion systems.</p>2025-03-26T00:00:00-03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://itegam-jetia.org/journal/index.php/jetia/article/view/1489USE OF TARO BOGOR ( Colocasia esculenta ( l.)

Eggshell powder is produced from the impact of crushed eggshells; this powder will be used as a substitute and filler (cement) used in the pavement mixture on solid insulators. This study aims to understand the difference in the response of flashover and corona phenomena to increased voltage in composite insulators. Flashovers tend to occur at low voltages and decrease drastically at high voltages, while coronas rarely appear at low voltages but increase and stabilize at high voltages. Flashovers are rare at voltages over 20 kV, but corona is still possible. This suggests that the design of insulators or conductors for high voltages needs to pay attention to the corona effect which can lead to material degradation over time, while the risk of flashover is lower. In this study, the voltage threshold for the emergence of corona is about 20 kV, where the electric field is strong enough to trigger an electrical discharge around the conductor. After crossing this limit, the corona remains at high voltage. Therefore, the design of the material or insulator must consider the constant presence of corona at high voltages to prevent material damage due to the discharge of electrical energy around the conductor.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>2025-03-26T00:00:00-03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://itegam-jetia.org/journal/index.php/jetia/article/view/1501Hopf bifurcation point identification in a power system with various static load models2025-04-01T21:29:49-03:00Ghousul Azam Shaikghousul1993@gmail.comLakshmi Devi Aithepallienergylak123@yahoo.com<p>This paper covers the impact of voltage dependent load models on the small signal stability in Western States Coordinating Council (WSCC) system having Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) with increased generation and load scenarios. Earlier work on the same system using constant power type of load representation for locating the Hopf bifurcation point was done by the authors of this manuscript. This paper deals with the extension of the previous work to include various voltage dependent small signal load models such as Constant Current (CC), Constant Impedance (CZ), Industrial (IND) and large scale Electric Vehicle (EV) for evaluating damping ratios and sketching the locus of critical modes at stressed loadings by defining six cases. A thorough comparison of damping ratios of several complex modes obtained after including various voltage dependent load models in the linearization programmes with the constant power model presented in earlier work at the nominal loading is done.

The detection of a broken rotor bar(RBB) is one of the most challenging tasks in condition monitoring due to the complexity of fault features in motor current signals. This plans overcome by developing a hybrid diagnostic framework to enhance fault detection accuracy. The proposed approach fuses a hybrid spectral analysis technique that integrates the Fast Fourier Transform with an autoregressive moving average model estimated using Burg's method. This hybrid of FFT-ARMA-Burg enhances PSD representation. We employ biogeography-based optimization to optimally tune the parameters of the ARMA-Burg model for a better representation of fault-specific features. Further, this paper proposes an LSTM neural network that refines BBO-optimized parameters to improve fault frequency sensitivity. Experimental verification will demonstrate that the hybrid FFT-ARMA-Burg framework, combined with LSTM-enhanced BBO optimization, outperforms traditional motor current signature analysis (MCSA) and standalone ARMA-based methods in detecting broken rotor bars in squirrel cage induction motors. These findings confirm that the proposed methodology enhances broken rotor bar detection and supports predictive maintenance for improved reliability and efficiency in induction motors.</p>2025-03-26T00:00:00-03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://itegam-jetia.org/journal/index.php/jetia/article/view/1533Enhancing sentiment analysis in tourism reviews: A comparative study of algorithms in ASPECT-BASED SENTIMENT ANALYSIS and EMOTION DETECTION2025-04-01T21:29:48-03:00Viktor Handrianus Pranatawijayaviktorhp@it.upr.ac.idPutu Bagus Adidyana Anugrah Putraputubagus@it.upr.ac.idRessa Priskilaressa@it.upr.ac.idNovera Kristiantinoverakristianti@eng.upr.ac.id<p>Information technology now enables utilizing online review data to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, traditional sentiment analysis often cannot capture the complexity of sentiment. This research aims to combine Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) and emotion detection for a more in-depth analysis of tourism reviews in Palangka Raya City and compare the performance of various algorithms.

Most of the reviews are positive, with the dominance of the emotions of anticipation and joy. The combination of cross-validation with the best parameters from GridSearchCV resulted in the most significant increase in model accuracy. The SVM model performed better than other machine learning and deep learning algorithms, with accuracy and F1-score reaching 99.86%.

Studi ini membandingkan kinerja baterai lithium-ion dan solid-state di bawah berbagai arus pengisian. Pada arus pengisian 50 A, baterai lithium-ion membutuhkan sekitar 140 detik untuk mengisi penuh, sedangkan baterai solid-state mencapai hal yang sama dalam waktu sekitar 130 detik. Namun, pada arus yang lebih tinggi (300 A), baterai lithium-ion secara signifikan mengurangi waktu pengisian menjadi 20 detik, sedangkan baterai solid-state mengisi daya dalam 18 detik. Meskipun demikian, pengisian arus tinggi mempercepat degradasi baterai. Baterai lithium-ion, misalnya, memiliki masa pakai sekitar 1.200 siklus pada 50 A, yang menurun secara drastis menjadi mendekati 0 siklus pada 300 A. Sebaliknya, baterai solid-state mempertahankan masa pakai yang lebih tinggi, berkurang dari 1.000 siklus pada 50 A menjadi sekitar 100 siklus pada 300 A.

Yesuratnamratnamgy@uceou.eduPunnaiah Veeraboinadrveera33@gmail.com<p> A multi-active full bridge converter is a type of DC-DC converter typically used in high-power applications like renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, or uninterruptible power supplies. Four switches (often MOSFETs or IGBTs) grouped in an H-bridge configuration make up the full bridge topology. The term "multi-active" implies that the power conversion involves a number of active components, which may indicate complicated switching management for improved efficiency and regulation. Changing the phase shift between two switch pairs is how phase-shifted full-bridge converters are controlled. Without altering the switching frequency, the output voltage can be controlled by adjusting the phase difference between the bridge's two legs (S1-S4 and S2-S3). To lower switching losses, soft switching strategies like ZVS or ZCS might be used.</p> <p>improving overall efficiency. In this approach, the current through the switches is monitored and controlled to improve transient response and stability. Typically implemented in combination with voltage mode control, it ensures better regulation, especially in systems with fast load changes. The secondary side full bridge switches are controlled by current feedback phase delay controller which restricts the battery charge current. Each EV battery has its own charge current limit which is set in the current controller for battery protection. The controlled charge current improves the charge efficiency of the EV battery increasing the reliability of the cells and the overall circuit. The charge control which is a conventional PI controller is further updated with ANFIS for better stability in the EV battery charging current. A comparative analysis with PI and ANFIS controllers is proposed and the results are generated with same rating of EV batteries and system parameters. </p>2025-03-26T00:00:00-03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://itegam-jetia.org/journal/index.php/jetia/article/view/1553Potential Adoption of Blockchain in Food Cold Supply Chain: A Bibliometric Study and Future Research Agenda2025-04-01T21:29:44-03:00Thabed Tholib Baladrafthabedtholib@apps.ipb.ac.idMarimin Mariminmarimin@apps.ipb.ac.id<p>The food cold chain represents a crucial aspect of the highly sensitive food industry. Insufficient supervision can give rise to a range of adverse consequences, including contamination, fraud, and food waste. In line with technological advancement, the implementation of cold chains is becoming increasingly integrated with digital solutions, with blockchain technology representing a notable example. However, some bibliometric analyses have not focused on the cold supply chain, limiting their scope to the supply chain in general. Consequently, further studies are required to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this complex and evolving field. The objective of this analysis is to provide a bibliometric examination of the potential implementation of blockchain technology in the context of food cold chains. This will facilitate the identification of the most recent developments, prevailing trends, and research gaps that require further investigation.
