  Improvements in Transient Stability Using FACTS Devices

  This project focuses on enhancing transient stability in power systems using FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems). It employs MATLAB Simulink to model and analyze the IEEE 9-Bus System, implementing controllers like SVC (Static VAR Compensator) and STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator). These devices help regulate voltage stability, optimize power flow, and improve overall system resilience against disturbances.

  All project-related files and resources are available on GitHub.

  9kW Grid-Connected Solar System Analysis

  This 9kW grid-tied solar system project was created while following a YouTube tutorial, applying each concept step by step. The simulation covers energy production, loss analysis, and inverter efficiency, helping me understand real-world solar system behavior through a structured learning process.

  4kW Residential Solar System Study

  This was my first proper project where I carefully considered all technical factors like location, shading impact, and inverter efficiency. The 4kW system is designed for a residential setup, with a focus on optimizing power output and minimizing energy losses.

  2.96kW Grid-Connected Solar Simulation

  This project simulates a 2.96kW grid-tied solar system, analyzing power generation, system efficiency, and inverter losses. I modeled my friend’s house for this—well, sort of. The actual house has walls, windows, and, you know… a roof. This version? Just some lines and boxes. If architecture worked like this, he’d be living in a wireframe blueprint 😆.

  Half-Wave Uncontrolled Rectifier

  I have built this while learning MATLAB. This MATLAB Simulink model demonstrates the working of a half-wave uncontrolled rectifier, using a diode to convert AC voltage into pulsating DC. Through this project, I learned the basics of circuit simulation, rectification, and clearly got an practical idea about diode working. All project-related files and resources are available on GitHub.

  Mera Samvidhan

  India has a big problem with civic sense, even among educated people who should understand these things. Everybody should know their fundamental rights, rules, and regulations, and what they need to take care of. I made a website where people can learn about our constitution with fun and interactive games. Presented this idea in SIH 2024 and everybody loved it. Although it was just a basic demonstration and only a front-end website, because I didn't had a laptop and a good team to work on it. But in the future, I will try to make this website with its fully advanced version and with other law related things, want to publish it. Explore Now🤘

  Foody

  This is a restaurant website I customized when I was a beginner in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I watched a YouTube tutorial, used the resources provided by the YouTuber, and customized it. I learned a lot about web development in the process.

  Green Ideas

  Created a website for a business. This is an older version of that website, which I made similar to the Solarsquare website. Although I customized it for the business owner, Made this website entirely with my smartphone and later customized it for desktop use.
