Electric Vehicle's Photovoltaic Array Charging Using FOPID
The necessity to modify EVs has arisen as a result of rising global warming and rising costs for carbon fuels. EVs utilize renewable sources of energy as a fuel that are both environmentally friendly and efficient. However, with the increasing demand for electric vehicles on the streets, conventional fossil fuel-based infrastructure is no more cost-effective or effective, necessitating the use of RER-based charging stations. Many experts have already researched in this field and presented some solutions for charging electric vehicles with solar Photovoltaic panels.

To overcome these limitations, an enhanced model, based on FOPID controller, is suggested in this book.

Transceiver Technologies for Millimeter-Wave Beam Steering Applications
During the past years, wireless communication systems have been rapidly advancing to meet the high data-rate requirements of various emerging applications. However, the existing transceivers have typically been demonstrated using CMOS-compatible technologies that deliver a relatively low equivalent isotropic radiated power in a small unit cell. Moreover, the particular device characteristics are limiting the linear region for operation. Therefore, the main focus of this dissertation is to present and discuss new design methods for transceivers to solve these issues. To reduce the complexity of the transceiver module for further phased-array scaling, a low-noise power amplifier design approach is designed using a 0.15-μm GaN-on-SiC high-electron mobility transistor technology (HEMT). Utilizing a traded off interstage matching topology between loss and bandwidth, the conversion loss induced by the matching network could be effectively reduced. A stacked-FET configuration was adopted to enhance the power handling of the RF switch. Further improvement on the isolation bandwidth was investigated using theoretical analysis on the intrinsic effect of the passive HEMTs. With the successful implementation of the RF front-end circuits, transceiver modules were integrated on Rogers RO3010 substrate. The planar dual exponentially tapered slot antenna phased-array system showed a compact size with simple biasing network compared to the conventional transceiver approach. The presented T/R module was characterized with an over-the-air test at a distance of 1 m, overcoming the free space path loss of 64 dB. It also shows a high flexibility for further integration with a larger number of array systems, which is very promising for future 5G communication systems.

Proposal to automate the capture of solar rays in PV systems
A proposal for automating the capture of solar rays in photovoltaic systems presents a solution for automating the capture of the sun through solar panels, because once the panel is installed in a fixed way, it will not obtain optimum energy efficiency, taking into account that the sun changes its trajectory over the course of the days and the year.

Modeling and simulation of cooling systems using PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE
Currently, sizing and evaluating photovoltaic installations are based on average consumption profiles rather than scientific criteria or load models. This practice leads to installations fulfilling their tasks, but far from energy and economic optimization conditions that could make the photovoltaic option competitive, reliable, and attractive for more and more applications. Besides, a static knowledge of a photovoltaic system, as obtained during a purely energetic dimensioning, does not allow a reliable approach to the analysis of the system, nor the guarantee of the desired performances. Our work proposes to fill this gap by developing new tools for the simulation, sizing and control of photovoltaic systems. This study is based on three important points: - the development of a dynamic model for each photovoltaic application (pumping, electrification, refrigeration), - the improvement of the DC/DC and DC/AC conversion devices and this by the generation of new control laws associated with the MPPT and PWM modes- The integration of these techniques and these models in software for the management and control of the photovoltaic plant.

I detail options to extend its bandwidth along with many more tricks for making the reader an expert in loop compensation.This book is an ideal companion for graduate and seasoned engineers but also for field application engineers (FAEs) willing to understand the topic and rescue their customers in loop distress.
Algorithms and Computational Methods
CORDIC, also known as the digit-by-digit method and Volder's algorithm. This is a special-purpose digital computer for real-time airborne computation. In this, a unique computing technique is employed which is especially suitable for solving the trigonometric relationships involved in plane coordinate rotation and conversion from rectangular to polar coordinates. With ongoing technology and limitations on power, operating frequency and energy consumption, if we are generating any trigonometry functions by using of multiplier, adder, divider those architectures consumes more hardware and computational time in- creases, for reduction of this problem CORDIC algorithm is converted into hardware form which is known as CORDIC processor. This processor reduces the problem of division and multiplication. In CORDIC processor we can compute the functions by using of shifter, adder and substractor. In present era CORDIC algorithm is used in many applications like Multimedia, Digital Signal Processing applications like Smooth Filters, DCT, and FFT etc. First CORDIC algorithm is converted into hardware so it was facing some problems like scale factor, time consuming etc.
Algorithms for Efficient Segmentation of Non-ideal Iris Images
Among the biometric technologies available, the iris biometric technology is the most accurate modality, because iris complex random patterns are unique and stable, they do not change throughout a person's lifetime. The Iris recognition is based on the fact that the human iris contains unique features and even genetically identical individuals have entirely independent iris textures. Iris segmentation is an essential step because the actual discriminating information will be present within the iris patterns. Therefore, it is plausible that the initial step in implementing an iris recognition system is separating the iris from irrelevant parts of an eye image, which are of no importance. A pre- segmentation using Otsu's multilevel thresholding and variants of fuzzy c-means (FCM) based on IPSO (improved PSO) and IDSA (improved differential search algorithm) has not been investigated in the literature. The recognition accuracy is affected by noise artefacts that are included during the capturing of iris images. This encourages to effective implementation and accurate pre-segmentation in the recognition framework.
