Rural electrification through micro-grid design case study
Abstract: We introduce the design and experimental demonstration of a scalable DC micro-grid for rural electrification in the developing regions. The distributed control of the grid voltage is one of the main features of the DC micro-grid architecture, which allows both instantaneous power sharing and a metric for available grid power. A droop-voltage power-sharing scheme is utilized wherein the bus voltage decreases in response to low supply/high demand. Besides that, the …

Aluminum Alloy as Sacrificial Anode for Corrosion Protection: A Review
Abstract: Aluminum sacrificial anodes are widely used for cathodic protection in marine, offshore, and energy applications due to their light weight, high current efficiency, and favorable electrochemical potential. Pure aluminum, however, rapidly passivates in seawater, reducing protective performance. Alloying with elements, such as zinc, indium, gallium, tin, and bismuth, improves activation, ensures uniform dissolution, and stabilizes long-term behavior. This review examines the influence of alloying elements on electrochemical performance, microstructure, and …
