Developing An Open-Source Tool for Power System and Microgrid Analysis

In this project, we introduce Power Grid Analyzer (PGAz), an open-source software package based on MATLAB, specifically designed for analyzing and controlling future power grids. Initially, PGAz is equipped with four fundamental features: power flow (PF), optimal power flow (OPF), small-signal stability analysis (SSSA), and time-domain simulation (TS). At this stage, Part I concentrates on the development of PF and OPF. The formats of our developed tool are presented, along with its command prompts. In this part, we have developed several conventional yet effective methods in the PGAz package to address PF and OPF problems, including techniques such as the Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method, Interior Point Method, Iwamoto’s method, Fast Decoupled Load Flow, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization. Additionally, it emphasizes important aspects, algorithms, and various case studies that have been tested against IEEE benchmarks ranging from the IEEE 5-bus to the IEEE 300-bus test systems. The results demonstrate the capabilities of PGAz for future educational and research applications in PF and OPF. Finally, we outline a plan for developing Part II, which will mainly focus on SSSA and TS.

Attributes prediction of biocomposite scaffold made from 3D printing using a finite element analysis

Bone tissue scaffolds are made from biomaterials that support rapid repair and healing. Scaffold fabricators have produced materials that are able to degrade a biosystem or human body excellently. Thus, this work aims to study the optimization of materials, shape, and the 3D printing process with FDM. Finite element analysis is also used to predict mechanical properties of the scaffold and find the optimal shape and pore size. However, the materials studied include PLA, PCL, and HA.
