This research discusses the solar and wind sourcesintegration in aremote location using hybrid power optimization approaches and a multi energy storage system with batteries and supercapacitors. The controllers in PV and wind turbine systems are used to efficiently operate maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, optimizing the overall system performance while minimizing stress on energy storage components. More specifically, on PV generator, the provided method integrating the Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) methods. Meanwhile, for the wind turbine, the proposed approach combines the P&O and FLC methods. These hybrid MPPT strategies for photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine aim to optimize its operation, taking advantage of the complementary features of the two methods. While the primary aim of these hybrid MPPT strategies is to optimize both PV and wind turbine, therefore minimizing stress on the storage system, they also aim to efficiently supply electricity to the load. For storage, in this isolated renewable energy system, batteries play a crucial role due to several specific benefits and reasons. Unfortunately, their energy density is still relatively lower compared to some other forms of energy storage. Moreover, they have a limited number of charge-discharge cycles before their capacity degrades significantly. Supercapacitors (SCs) provide significant advantages in certain applications, particularly those that need significant power density, quick charging and discharging, and long cycle life. However, their limitations, such as lower energy density and specific voltage requirements, make them most effective when combined with other storage technologies, as batteries. Furthermore, their advantages are enhanced, result a more dependable and cost-effective hybrid energy storage system (HESS). The paper introduces a novel algorithm for power management designed for an efficient control. Moreover, it focuses on managing storage systems to keep their state of charge (SOC) within defined range. The algorithm is simple and effective. Furthermore, it ensures the longevity of batteries and SCs while maximizing their performance. The results reveal that the suggested method successfully keeps the limits batteries and SCs state of charge (SOC). To show the significance of system design choices and the impact on the battery's SOC, which is crucial for the longevity and overall performance of the energy storage components, a comparison in of two systems have been made. A classical system with one storage (PV/wind turbine/batteries) and the proposed system with HESS (PV/wind turbine system with batteries). The results show that the suggested scenario investigated with both wind and solar resources appears to be the optimum solution for areas where the two resources are both significant and complementary. The balance between the two resources seems to contribute to less stress on storage components, potentially leading to a longer lifespan. An economical study has been made, using the Homer Pro software, to show the feasibility of the proposed system in the studied area.
Introduction Migraine is characterized by persistent headaches and a wide range of symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. The chance of developing a chronic migraine might be increased by lifestyle variables like obesity, stress, and excessive medication use. According to previous studies in Saudi Arabia, migraines are more common there than they are globally. The study aimed to examine the migraine associations with depression, anxiety, and stress in the population of Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. Methods The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design with a non-probability snowball sampling technique and an online questionnaire that included sociodemographic characteristics, the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 (ICHD-3) criteria for migraine assessment, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) measure for depression, anxiety, and stress. Results Our study included 418 participants, out of whom 73.7% were female and 26.3% were male. Regarding migraine, only 8.9% of participants met the ICHD-3 criteria for migraine headache screening, with a female predominance (78.4%). The study showed a high prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among the population (63.9%, 63.6%, and 55%, respectively), with females having a higher prevalence. Depression, anxiety, and stress had an equal prevalence of 78.4% among migraineurs, which was significantly higher than that of non-migraineurs. Conclusions The study found significant associations between migraine and depression, anxiety, and stress. This study provides insights into the association between these conditions. The study's findings suggest the need for screening and management of mental health conditions in patients with migraine. However, extensive efforts are needed to be applied in different cities and demographics for a more precise understanding of the association.
