Several initiatives have been taken by the Government of India (GoI) to increase the renewable energy generation, which will not only be useful to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, but also result in some increase in per capita energy demand…

The quality of power is most significant in the field of the power system. Many techniques are used for improving the same. In this article, the quality of the Power and THD values for different switching pulses are to be analyzed. Here, the existing system comprises a Solar Photovoltaic array, boost converter, Multilevel inverter with normal switching pulse, and RLC Load. The proposed system comprises a solar photovoltaic array fed multilevel inverter with Pseudorandom Binary Switching (PRBS) pulse, buck-boost converter, and three-phase induction motor. The Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence generator consists of shift register and logic gates...

Although there are other factors, the traditional thermal power generation techniques, which produce different kinds of pollutants, need to change ASAP – to prevent further deterioration of the climate. India is one of the pioneers in this move… - P. K. Chatterjee (P. K.)
