Abstract: Environment awareness has developed progressively worldwide over the last 40 years. Engineers in all disciplines have a particular obligation towards the integration of development and the environment leading towards sustainable future development. The future engineers are required to be trained in decision making and to act environmentally sensitive and responsible manner. It is essential for them to obtain the knowledge on new environment friendly technologies e.g. renewable energy technology. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that converts the sun’s heat and light into energy. Not only is the sun, a source of heat and light, it’s a source of electricity too. Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells, are used to convert sunlight to electricity. This electricity is sufficient enough to drive a motor attached to a car as well as to drive the car. Besides, Fuel cell is a steady flow system where the fuel is only hydrogen. In modern age to prevent the deficiency of fuel solar energy and fuel cell technology are widely used. The purpose of this research is to construct and analyze the shape of a fully road worthy vehicle operating under nothing but the power of the sun, fuel cell and to construct a solar car. My challenge will be to construct a vehicle that travels as fast and straight as possible. This project provides a chance to explore the aerodynamically ideal vehicle. Little attention has to be paid to practicality. This results a very streamlined, highly aerodynamically efficient car that is stable and safe. Here solar tracker is used to track the sun light through five positions of the sun with respect to vehicle. Keywords: Solar car, solar tracker, Photovoltaic cell, Renewable energy, Vehicle aerodynamic.

<p style="\\"text-align:" justify;\\"=""> Abstract: Due to population growth and economic development the energy demand is increasing day by day.  Fossil fuel sources like oil, coal are costly and causing serious pollution to the environment.  Wind energy generation is under renewable energy source it is a feasible solution to energy shortage.  The wind speed variations cause’s serious power quality problems during integration of wind turbine with the grid.  For power control rotor side converter and grid side converter are used.  The DFIG is capable of producing power in above and below synchronous speed.  The power supplied to the grid through stator and rotor.  In this paper, a battery energy storing system (BESS) is introduced in between the inverter and converters section.  Since the converters and BESS are introduced in the rotor side their rating can be reduced.  The implementation of Fuzzy-PI controller improves transient performance of the system.  The system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.

<p style="\\"text-align:" justify;\\"=""> Abstract: A  good  power quality  at  a  system  can  optimize  the efficiency  of  electrical  energy  utilization.  Comparison  of  active power and apparent power  will produce a power  factor (COS ø).Capacitors  bank can maintain optimum power  factor  with compensating  some  reactive  power  to the system. Static VAR Compensator (SVC) is generally composed of a conventional capacitor bank in parallel with the load contactor switch. This leads  to  a  very  large  inrush  current  to  the  capacitor  which  will resulting damage  to  the  contactor  switches  and also capacitors. To  reduce  inrush  current,  thyristor  is  used  as  a  replacement  of contactor switch. Switch can be set by adjusting the firing angle of thyristor.  Power factor improvement consists of a voltage sensor, current sensor, zero crossing detector, thyristor driver and the capacitor bank. The  existing load on  the  system  consists  of induction  motor  125W,  rectifier  with  load of series  of incandescent lamp with ballasts 85W and fluorescent lamp 20W.Cos phi variation of the load is 0.49 (lag), 0.99 (lag), 0.92 (lag) and 0.62 (lag) when all the loads connect to the system. Through the  calculation, the  value  of capacitor that  can  compensate  the reactive  power  to  the  system  is  5.12 µF,  2.71 µF,  2.41 µF and 9.55µF. The capacitor installation obtain good response because it can increase the cos phi of system to 0.99 (lag) and the current consumption of the system is smaller than the pre-installation of capacitors, which can reduce the line system current up to 30% of the system current.

<p style="\\"text-align:" justify;\\"=""> Abstract:in this paper, a fresh nature-inspired algorithm called the states of matter search (soms) is introducedto solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem. The soms algorithm is based on the simulation of the states of matter occurrence. In soms, individualsfollow molecules which interact to each other by using evolutionary operations which are based on the physicalprinciples of the thermal-energy motion mechanism. The algorithm is developed by considering each state of matter atone different exploration–exploitation ratio. The evolutionary process is divided into three phases which emulate thethree states of matter: gas, liquid and solid. This method can significantly progress thebalance between exploration–exploitation, yet conserving the good search capabilities of an evolutionary approach.the proposed soms algorithm hasbeen tested on standard ieee 30 bus test system and simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss.

<p style="\\"text-align:" justify;\\"=""> Abstract: In this paper, a new double glow-worms swarm co-evolution optimization algorithm based Levy flights (DGLF) is proposed to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem.  According to the dissimilar colours of light emitted by glowworm swarm, a certain amount of glowworm swarm was divided into two groups. Levy flights with higher arbitrariness were introduced into one group. Then the two groups of glowworm swarm search for the optimal solution simultaneously and co-evolution for achieving the global optimization. The proposed DGLF has been tested on standard IEEE 30, IEEE 57 bus test systems and simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss.
