Enhanced Efficiency in Dual-Stage Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems with PSO-Integrated Hybrid MPPT Techniques

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is essential for maximizing photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion under variable irradiance and temperature. Conventional perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC) algorithms are simple to implement but may exhibit slow convergence, steady-state oscillations, and redu...

Closing the Willingness–Infrastructure Gap in End-of-Life EV Battery Management: Stakeholder Evidence and Policy Pathways for Urban Nepal

The rapid electrification of Nepal’s transport sector has raised critical concerns about the sustainable management of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). While government incentives have accelerated electric vehicle (EV) adoption, institutional and technological readiness for battery recycling remains insufficie...
