As the world’s attention turns to cleaner, more dependable, and sustainable resources, the renewable energy sector is rising quickly. The decline in world energy use and climate change are the two most significant factors nowadays. PV forecasting was essential to enhancing the efficiency of the real-time control system and preventing any undesirable effects. The smart energy management systems of distributed energy resources, the forecasting model of irradiation received from the sun, and therefore PV energy production might mitigate the impact of uncertainty on PV energy generation, improve system dependability, and increase the incursion level of solar power generation. Smart sensors and Internet of Things technologies are essential for monitoring and controlling applications in a broad range of fields. As a result, solar power generation forecasting was essential for microgrid stability and security, as well as solar photovoltaic integration in a strategic approach. This paper examines how to use IoT, a solar photovoltaic system being monitored, and shows the proposed monitoring system is a potentially viable option for smart remote and in-person monitoring of a solar PV system.

The present paper deals with the experimental analysis and multi objective optimization of gear cutting process of Inconel 718 using WEDM. The objective of the present work is to optimize the parameters in order to maximize the material removal rate and minimize the kerf in a gear cutting process to get the optimum value. The MRR and kerf play a major role in optimizing the parameters in WEDM process. The experiment is carried out in the wire EDM machine using brass wire as the electrode, Inconel 718 as the work-piece material and distilled water as the dielectric. The design array is created by using Design of Experiment in a Taguchi L16 orthogonal array repeated once. The gear has a base diameter of 20 mm, addendum diameter of 22.5 mm and a pressure angle of 20º with 16 numbers of teeth. The machining operation is carried out by taking 3 input parameters at 4 different levels each. The output parameters such as Material Removal rate and Kerf width were obtained and optimized using TOPSIS method to know the optimum setting. Microstructural analysis of both material and wire were studied to know the various defects during the machining operation. Various plots were obtained to know the effects of the process parameters in WEDM. A regression model was also obtained to validate the statistical model values with the experimental. ANOVA table and Response table were carried out to know the significant parameters and rank respectively in the Wire EDM process. Surface roughness, Addendum and Tooth width of gears were also found out at the optimum settings. The optimum setting of the gear obtained can be used to produce high quality gears and can also be applied for future findings

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is an advanced non-conventional machining process specifically used for obtaining complex 3D shape objects in hard materials with high accuracy. The present study investigates the effect of various process parameters viz. pulse on time, pulse off time, wire feed and servo voltage on response variables such as cutting speed, material removal rate, kerf width and surface roughness on machining of high carbon high chromium steel. Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array for four factors and three levels has been used for designing the experiment. A novel technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach has been applied to select the optimal level of machining parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been conducted for investigating the effect of process parameters on overall machining performance. The effectiveness of proposed optimal condition is validated through the confirmatory test. The result of this study highlights that the parameters like pulse on time and servo voltage are significantly influencing to the machining performance.
