In this project I propose a novel technique to improve the efficiency of the traditional P&O method using the principle of artificial potential fields. This project resulted in a paper that was published in the journal Power Electronics and Drives. More details on this article can be found in the following link: Sliding Mode Control-Based MPPT and Output Voltage Regulation of a Stand-alone PV System.
Here, I present an energy management system (EMS) for an ac-dc hybrid microgrid. The adopted control method takes into account the microgrid's two major modes of operation: grid-connected and islanded. Presentation and details of my M.Sc. thesis can be found in the following repository of my GitHub profile: Link to the respective GitHub repository
In this project, I programmed a simulator for groups of mobile robots based on the leader-follower structure. The applied algorithm was a combination of A-star (A*) and artificial potential fields (APF).

In this work, I designed a 750 W electric motor using an analytical method coded in Matlab software and a numerical method or finite element analysis through the graphical interface of the MagNet software.
Here is the repository where detailed information on this research project can be found.

Performing complex calculations such as exp(A.t) and A^k matrices (eigenvectors, diagonalization, Jordan, Cayley-Hamilton, etc.) can be challenging and tedious depending on the size of the matrix. That is why I ended up creating this simple but useful MATLAB notebook that can be used to avoid wrong calculations and easily visualize the results obtained.
