This article is concerned with the optimal multidirectional power flow architecture in a three-phase power utility network (PUN). The proposed PUN is integrated with distributed energy resources (DER), which provides the demand for active power reducing the dependency of conventional energy generation. The proposed system facilitates dual power flow operation, it not only compensates the reactive power by acting as a compensator but also supplies active power by connecting a dual 2-level voltage source inverter (DT-VSI) at the point of common coupling (PCC). In the DT-VSI-based distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) configuration, one of the inverters is regarded as the main voltage source inverter (MVSI) supported by DER whereas, the other is considered as an auxiliary voltage source inverter (AVSI) supported by split capacitor DC links. A control algorithm based on Adaptive Least Mean Square (ALMS) is used for the operation of DT-VSI, which results in power quality (PQ) improvements like harmonic reduction, reactive power compensation, voltage balancing at PCC, source side power factor (P.F.) enhancement and reduction in control complexity.

The power distribution networks suffer from harmonic distortion, low power factor, voltage unbalance, and instability under nonlinear loads, which cause the degradation of power quality and the reliability of the grid. Existing methods, such as adaptive neural networks and model predictive control used in Distributed Static Compensators (DSTATCOMs), commonly suffer from slow convergence, high computational cost, and noise sensitivity, which limits their real-time performance. To deal with these problems, a Quasi-Hebbian least mean square (QHLMS) coordinated control strategy for DSTATCOMs is proposed in this paper. The QHLMS algorithm is superior in parallel processing, accurate weight adaptation, fast computation, strong convergence, and small steady-state error. In addition, its mathematical model is simplified into six subnets to reduce the complexity of the network. The proposed method for pulse generation is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to realize the better compensation. Simulations compare QHLMS with adaptive least mean square (ALMS) algorithm and demonstrate substantial reduction in total harmonic distortion 3.95%, improvement in DC-link voltage regulation 580 V, and the decrease in DSTATCOM rating from 9.288 kVA to 7.7.855 kVA. These results are verified by hardware validation on dSPACE1104 under different loads and are in compliance with IEEE-519-2017, IEC-61727 and IEC-61000-1 standards.

This work presents a Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) intended for low-voltage distribution systems, controlled through a Zordan Least Mean Square (ZLMS) optimization framework. Practical deployment of adaptive controllers in power quality conditioners is often constrained by slow convergence, sensitivity to parameter variation, difficulty in handling unbalanced loads, and increased computational effort during real-time implementation. To overcome these limitations, the proposed control approach incorporates parallel processing to enable effective shunt compensation while satisfying IEEE-519 harmonic requirements. An enhanced form of the Adaptive Least Mean Square (ALMS) method is also developed, and its behaviour is evaluated under both balanced and disturbed operating conditions. The neural structure consists of six subnetworks dedicated to extracting active and reactive current components separately, enabling improved estimation reliability. The ZLMS adaptation mechanism refines weight adjustment using learning rate control, normalization factors, and historical weight information, leading to faster convergence and reduced steady-state error. Validation is performed through MATLAB/Simulink simulation and experimental testing using a dSPACE-1108 real-time platform. The results demonstrate notable improvements in power factor, harmonic mitigation, voltage regulation, and load balancing during dynamic operating conditions when compared with conventional ALMS-based control.

LCL filters are frequently utilized in grid-connected inverters because they provide compactness and strong harmonic suppression, but their tendency to resonate creates stability challenges that must be mitigated. This paper compares conventional active damping, typically achieved through capacitor voltage feedback, with a frequency-selective strategy based on the Non-Ideal Generalized Integrator (NGI). Traditional methods are straightforward but lack selectivity and may introduce undesirable phase delay near resonance. In contrast, the NGI approach delivers a tunable, resonance-focused response that increases phase margin, modifies pole-zero placement, and achieves stronger suppression of oscillatory modes. Analytical evaluation confirms that NGI improves transient behavior, reduces overshoot, and sustains robustness under grid impedance variations. These characteristics make NGI-based damping a strong option for next-generation inverter applications where precision, adaptability, and reliability are required. Future efforts will prioritize experimental validation and the development of adaptive tuning methods to support its practical implementation.

State of health (SoH) estimation is crucial to verify safe, efficient and reliable performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, the aging mechanism of the battery decreases stochastically over several instances. To address the SoH estimation, a fusion-based framework is proposed by combining complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN), multi-head attention mechanism bi-directional long short-term memory (MHAM-BiLSTM) and random forest (RF). Initially, the health indicators (HIs) are selected by evaluating the strong Pearson correlation coefficients, based on increasing or decreasing voltage segments within the constant-current/constant-voltage charge–discharge cycles. These HI data are pre-processed by CEEMDAN, which decomposes signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residual (RES) components to enhance the characteristics of the signal. The importance of IMFs is evaluated using the variance contribution rate (VCR). Then, the IMFs are processed through MHAM-BiLSTM, and their extracted characteristics are weighted by VCR to estimate SoH. The RES component is fed into the RF model. The outcomes of both techniques are fused to extract a more accurate and robust SoH prediction via the proposed CEEMDAN-VCR-MHAM-BiLSTM-RF model. The proposed model validates notable improvements in accuracy and computational resources of the estimated SoH, which validates effectiveness.

To diagnose the health, data-driven schemes are used in both standalone and hybrid structures. However, traditional methods often face challenges such as vanishing gradients, raises issue to learn to preserve data over multiple timesteps and difficult to capture in long-term dependencies in time-series data. Such limitations are addressed with Nonlinear Autoregressive Model with External Input (NARX) Attention-Based Gated Recurrent Unit (NARXGRU-A) and NARX recurrent neural network to predict the capacity of the battery. These models are assessed using open-source datasets to estimate SoH for multi-cycle ahead capacity prediction based on average charge–discharge cycle data. Among the evaluated techniques, NARXGRU-A demonstrates superior performance and is employed for real-time data. However, real data acquisition is time-consuming. To address this challenge, synthetic data is generated by generative adversarial networks from limited real data.

Two different compensation techniques are evaluated for the performance analysis of three-phase three-wire (3P3W) voltage source converter (VSC)-based DSTATCOM. The first one is the conventional icosϕ control technique whereas the other one is called the LMBP-based icosϕ control technique. The better power quality of the system is obtained using the proposed control algorithm by maintaining a less voltage across the capacitor as compared to the conventional one. So, the reduction in the size of the DSTATCOM is realised by the LMBP-based control algorithm. Furthermore, the performance parameters such as load balancing, harmonics elimination, power factor improvement, and voltage regulation are evaluated under both balanced and unbalanced loading conditions as per the IEEE guidelines. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is studied in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and also validated with a low power rated prototype experimental results.

The suggested model in the paper is for exploring the electrical treeing characterization in 33kV 3core cross linked poly ethylene (XLPE) insulation. Where XLPE has found its path in HV (high voltage) insulation owing to its excellent dielectric strength, mechanical strength, and internal bonding between elements that is physical property. But aging is a vital factor for all type of insulation which is mostly affected by environmental condition that is mechanical stress and electrical stress by the formation of electrical treeing structure. Electrical tree characterization is the important phenomenon for estimation of age of insulation. So as to check the life expectancy of cable insulation study of tree growth is necessary at different voltage for different duration of time and different distance of electrode arrangement. From tree length verses time, width verses time and area of tree spread verses time gives an idea for the aging of cable insulation and pre-breakdown information. As applied voltage amplitude and applied time duration increases electrical tree length and tree spread area increases that are observed under digital microscope.
