Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • An efficient combination of Demand Side management and Renewable energy resources   Order a copy of this article
    by Akanksha Srivastava, Prerna Gaur 
    Abstract: The main problem of the electricity sector is the storage of power, So demand needs continuous supply which changes w i t h every movement of time. Demand goes high in some specific periods, and demand for another generating unit on the generation end. This increases the cost of power as well as decreases power quality. Here we use Demand- side management on the demand side of the smart-grid system and lessen the peak hour load so as reduce the burden on the generation side. It improves the power quality as well. This paper is based on the load-shifting method of demand-side management. In this paper, a combination of genetic algorithm-based load-shifting techniques and renewable-energy compensation is used. MATLAB software is used for implementation. The results of this paper suggest that the Demand-side Management (DSM) approach achieves considerable energy savings and target curves. By maximizing the utilization of spinning reserves, this study aims to reduce maximum demand during peak hours.
    Keywords: Demand-side management; Smart-grid; Renewable energy resources; Load-shifting; MATLAB.

  • Maximum power extraction during Partial Shading Conditions with multiple PV panels using Voltage Equalizer Circuit   Order a copy of this article
    by Yash Gupta, Manisha NA 
    Abstract: The study presents a novel PV array that is integrated with a voltage equalizer circuit. The voltage equalizer circuit is a hybrid of a buck-boost converter and a switched-capacitor (BBSC) circuit. The primary goal of the paper is to increase the output voltage of PV modules while preventing shaded modules from being excluded from a string. Every PV module in the proposed circuit is in buck-boost mode. During uniform irradiance, the BBSC circuit is essentially a no-loss circuit. A thorough simulation analysis is performed using MATLAB R2017a, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed PV array integrated with BBSC circuit in comparison to the PV array without Voltage Equalizer circuit using P&O MPPT technique. The PV array integrated with BBSC has less tracking time, increased and stable output power.

  • Blood glucose control using GA tuned fractional order and two degrees of freedom PID controllers   Order a copy of this article
    by Md Saif Ostagar, Asha Rani, Jyoti Yadav 
    Abstract: This paper deals with the design of Genetic Algorithm(GA) based fractional order control strategy for maintaining the glucose level of Type-I diabetic patients. Fractional order and two degree of freedom PID (2DOF FOPID) controllers are designed using Genetic Algorithm. The fractional order provides two degrees of freedom which allows the simultaneous set point tracking and disturbance rejection. For better understanding the designed controllers, performance of designed controller is further analyzed with a meal input as disturbance signal. The designed controllers are also tested for effectiveness and stability using several validation methods. The integer order PID controller is also designed for comparative study. The suggested controllers are tuned using Genetic Algorithm. The result reveals that 2DOF FOPID controller proves to be more effective and stable than the other designed controllers.
    Keywords: Genetic Algorithm; 2DOF FOPID; glucose control; meal disturbance.
