Simulation and analysis of Stand-Alone Solar PV System with High Gain, High Efficiency DC-DC Converter Power Stages:
This work was about a three-phase stand-alone solar PV system with high-gain DC–DC converters for both the main power path and the bidirectional battery interface. The approach enables low-voltage PV arrays and batteries, reducing shading effects, parasitic capacitance issues, and battery degradation from deep cycling. It uses Required Power Tracking (RPT) to match PV output to load demand, eliminating dump loads, while advanced inverter control ensures stable voltage and reliable operation.
Simulation and analysis of Voltage Control Algorithm Using Variable Capacitors in Distribution Automation Systems in the Presence of Distributed Generation Sources:
This thesis was about a method for controlling and coordinating variable shunt capacitors in medium-voltage distribution networks with distributed generation (DG). Using real-time data from remote terminal units (RTUs) installed at capacitor bank locations, the system estimates nearby bus voltages and adjusts capacitor operation accordingly. The approach responds to actual voltage and loading conditions without relying on load or generation forecasts, improving voltage regulation and power factor in networks affected by variable renewable generation.

Design and Construction of a Novel Resonant Power Converter for Wireless Power Transfer Applications.
This research focuses on advancing wireless power transfer technology for high-power applications such as fast charging of electric vehicles and trains. It introduces a novel resonant converter that merges multi-phase and multi-level topologies to overcome limitations of traditional inverters, which struggle with current and cooling constraints at high power levels.
The proposed design features a multi-phase converter with a three-level diode-clamped structure. A 1 kW prototype was developed and tested, confirming the converter’s improved performance and suitability for real-world high-power wireless charging systems.
