This paper compares single-stage and dual-stage Improved Linear Sinusoidal Tracer (ILST) based three-phase grid-tied photovoltaic (Pv) systems. These systems facilitate the integration of solar energy into grid while improving the power quality of the distribution network. This design incorporates Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), Pv power injection into the grid, harmonic reduction at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), and grid current balancing. Both single-stage and dual-stage configurations utilize a three-phase voltage source converter (vSC) controlled by an ILST algorithm. The single-stage and dual-stage systems are modeled and simulated using MATLAB. This ILST control algorithm of grid-tied Pv system helps to maintain Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of PCC voltages and grid currents within prescribed limits.

Quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technologies owing to their unique optoelectronic properties and solution-processability. This critical review examines the evolution and current state of QDSC research spanning over two decades. We trace the progression from early theoretical concepts to recent experimental breakthroughs achieving power conversion efficiencies exceeding 18 % with perovskite quantum dots. The review systematically analyzes quantum confinement effects, materials development pathways, device architectures, and performance enhancement strategies. We critically assess three primary material systems: lead chalcogenides (PbS, PbSe, PbTe), which have demonstrated excellent spectral tunability and near-infrared harvesting;cadmium-based compounds (CdS, CdSe, CdTe), which provided the foundation for early developments;and perovskite quantum dots (CsPbI3, FAPbI3), which represent the current efficiency leaders. Surface engineering emerges as critical for performance, with sophisticated passivation and ligand exchange strategies driving remarkable efficiency improvements. We examine the transformative role of interface design in facilitating charge extraction while minimizing recombination, alongside notable innovations in flexible devices for emerging applications. While substantial challenges remain in stability, scalability, and environmental sustainability, recent progress in environmentally friendly alternatives, defect management, and transport layer optimization suggests pathways toward commercial viability. The review concludes by identifying promising research directions, including tandem integration, advanced characterization techniques, computational design, and machine learning-assisted discovery. This comprehensive analysis provides a framework for understanding quantum dot solar cells' position in the renewable energy landscape and outlines strategic pathways toward realizing thei

optically-controlled high-voltage power devices hold good promise for grid and renewable energy applications by providing superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity and reduced switching delay. This paper proposed a novel optically-controlled gate driver architecture that applies complementary optical signals to two photodiodes (PDs) arranged in a totem-pole configuration. This configuration enables fast switching of power semiconductor devices using minimal optical power, as only low-power driver signals are optically modulated and device main current is not photogenerated. To validate this approach, we employ two InGaAs PDs to drive a 3.3 kv SiC MOSFET, the highest-voltage industrial unipolar device currently available. When each PD is illuminated by 21.7 mW optical power, the SiC MOSFET achieves hard-switching at 1500v/3A, with rise and fall times of 152 ns and 214 ns, respectively. These results set new records for switching voltage, speed, and power capacity-to-optical power ratio in optically-controlled unipolar power switches. This general optical driver design is also applicable to the future development of integrated optics for power electronics in diverse (ultra-) wide-bandgap semiconductors. 1

For hard-to-machine materials like discontinuous particulate reinforced Al-matrix composites, wire-electrical discharge machining (wire-EDM) is increasingly preferred for manufacturing intricately shaped parts with high dimensional accuracies and surface finishes. The wire-EDM process involves a large number of machining variables apart from parameters associated with the workpiece, dielectric, and electrode; therefore, research on wire-EDM is often performed on the basis of the design of experiments , which is somewhat limited the fundamental understanding of the role of various influencing variables. The current experimental research reports the influences of major wire-EDM machining variables on the surface and subsurface characteristics of 20 vol% in-situ Al 3 Fe reinforced Al–2Mg alloy in reference to the unreinforced matrix alloy. The cutting velocity (Cv), kerf width (KW), surface roughness (SR), and surface chemistry (SC, = ΣO + Zn + Cu) of the composite and base alloy have been determined over a wide range of peak current (I P , 70–150 A), pulse-on time (T ON , 5–25 μs), pulse-off time (T OFF , 51–63 μs), servo voltage (S v , 40–80 v), wire feed rate (W FR , 6–10 m min −1 ) and wire tension (WT, 4–12 N), varying one parameter at a time and keeping all others constant at their mid-levels. The surface and subsurface of the wire-EDMed composite and alloy specimens have been extensively characterized employing FESEM coupled with EDS microanalyses, including the change in surface chemistry due to the in-situ oxidation and transfer of elements from the brass wire electrode, while a noncontact optical profilometer has been employed to determine the surface roughness. The Cv, KW, and SR are found to increase monotonically with increasing I P and T ON but decreasing T OFF, while the reverse trend has been observed for SC; these influences are more pronounced for base alloy over composite except for SR. Higher S v diminishes Cv and markedly raises SC; in contrast, en
