Data Driven Controller Design for Distributed Power Sources in Microgrid
type: item
description: Abstract Using renewable power sources requires controlled procedures to accomplish satisfactory stabile levels of power transmission and keep up with grid power deviation. Additionally, these methodologies in a perfect world require no pre-information of the grid structure, and as meagre correspondence with neighbouring power sources as would be prudent. As a next stride, we concentrate on how the power can be dispatched from different power hotspots for enhanced grid productivity. Microgrids can convey customary as well as renewable power sources to bolster remote power distributions. The control goal is to limit a cost and power storage capacity that can be acclimated to mirror the craving to limit critical cost as well as component failures. Microgrids in isolation often require time based reconfigurations as a result of the structure of grid. A proportional grid model approximates the grid structure which was later affirmed in accordance with the behavioural variationality of grid. For decentralized operations, we present the distributed control utilizing co-simulated fuzzified analytic hierarchy process keeping in mind the end goal to take care of the issue of grid stability. The execution of the joined framework is validated through numerical simulation.

Modelling & Simulation of Fuzzy Logic Based Controller for Energy Storage System
type: item
description: Abstract The problem of transient stability in multimachine model is a semi-infinite optimization problem for nonlinear phenomenon in network of energy storage system. As this involves several sets of differential equations and algebraic constraints; therefore the application of several mathematical programming techniques won’t be enough to solve the problem. In the past several ad hoc algorithms had been proposed. This study presents a new methodology to restore the transient stability by modelling the energy storage system based on optimal power flow control using fuzzy logic based controller. The proposed methodology can be used for both dispatching and redispatching energy while overcoming transient stability constraints. We’ve also presented a statistical comparison with the existing stochastic dynamic methods.

Design of 10T SRAM Cell for Low Power and High Speed Applications
type: item
description: Abstract This paper presents techniques for designing a low-power and higher read speed Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell. The cell achieves low power dissipation due to Virtual Ground (VGND) scheme and provides higher read performance due to Forward Body Biasing (FBB). Design metrics of the proposed SRAM cell was studied and compared with that of CON 6T, CON D10T, TG 8T, 9T, and ST-10T SRAM cells. It was observed that the proposed design shows significant improvements in read current, read delay over 6T, TG 8T, 9T, ST-10T. However, write delay and WSNM of proposed cell is significantly same as that of CON 6T and read decoupled SRAM cells but its RSNM is similar to read decoupled SRAM cells. Proposed SRAM cell has simulated at 45 nm technology PTM files for estimating its design metrics by using HSPICE circuit simulator. The proposed design achieves 27%/36%/82%/32%/26% improvement in TRA as compared to 6T/CON D10T/9T/TG 8T/ST-10T. An improvement of 66%/55%/72% in RSNM was observed as compared to 6T/TG8T/ST-10T. The proposed design consumes 39%/19%/22% less power during hold mode @ VDD =0.7 V as compared to CON D10T/9T/ ST-10T.

Distributed Control System Using Wired Communication Channel
type: item
description: Abstract This paper addresses the important aspects of RS-485 as a wired system for successful data transmission design. Wired distributed control system offers flexibility in the design and implementation at low cost and such can be applied in many useful situations. While designing distributed control system, the difficulties arises both in basic safety correctness properties as well as in achieving high performance. Hence the main objective of this research is to provide brief information about RS-485 which defines the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers that could be used to implement a balanced multipoint transmission line. This work focuses on the distributed control system in which RS-485 is used for point to point communication and providing a choice of drivers, receivers depending on the cable length, number of nodes and also to conserve power. The advantage of the proposed system is that it can handle the growing amount of work or complexity of the network. This model consists of a master and multiple slaves to control and monitor different sensors and actuators of the system. Communication between master and slaves is established using RS-485 bus. For easiness, comfort and safety a GUI using visual basic is implemented. Keywords: Distributed control System, RS-485, wired communication, master and slave Cite this Article Pramod U.

Implementation of Weighted Round Robin Algorithm in Shared Bus Architectures
type: item
description: Abstract The application domain of System-On-Chips (SoC) includes mobile devices, end terminals, multimedia terminals, automotive, set-top-boxes, games, processors etc. The SoC design paradigm relies heavily on reuse of intellectual property cores, enabling designers to focus on functionality and performance of the overall system. This is possible if IP cores are equipped with highly optimized interface for plug and play insertion into communication architecture. To this purpose the virtual Socket Interface Alliance represents an attempt to set the characteristics of industry wide, thus facilitating the match of pre-designed software and hardware blocks from multiple sources. The SoC interconnect must be designed and optimized to support a heterogeneous mix of data paths which may inherently have widely varying performance characteristics. The fabric must reliably deliver the required throughput and hide latency for performance critical paths while simultaneously managing the flow of traffic for slower paths and ports requiring lower bandwidth. Thus the system bus as a whole must strike the appropriate between latency and throughput for the collection data paths. Optimizing around this balance is essential to minimizing power, performance, area (PPA) costs and avoiding an inefficient, over-designed SoC.

Hybrid Solar PV–Wind Energy System: A Performance Study
type: item
description: The solar PV and, wind energy hybrid technology is based on the concept of a modular, scalable, distributed renewable energy system designed and optimized for on and off grid installations. This kind of system is fully integrated hybrid system that combines wind energy units with PV technology in a compact footprint, creating the greatest energy generation density. The hybrid concept is unique and disruptive, seamlessly utilizing wind and solar energy generation in a single unit, leveraging smart electronics, MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking), installation costs, inverters, and batteries. The advantages of a hybrid arrangement are the increase of the expansion of force accessible per square foot, and consolidating both, wind and sun based renewable assets. In any case, the most essential variable is that the energy accessibility of both solar and wind are complimentary, on an everyday scale, as well as through climate frameworks, and even occasionally. In this paper, a Savonius style turbine has been decided for its low running velocity and relative obtuseness to turbulence, ordinarily found on housetops. Made of galvanized metal, this type of system easily withstands extreme temperatures as well as harsh UV rays. The turbines incorporate a mechanical braking system to protect them from over rotation and the on-board electronics have temperature sensors that prevent the system from over voltage. This system takes advantage of areas of concentrated wind directly on the roof. The 1 m high turbines begin rotating in the slightest breeze. This type of system requires less area in comparison to conventional photovoltaic power plant and also power generation is higher.

FPGA-Based Multichannel Digital Duty-Cycle Modulation and Application to Simultaneous Generation of Analog Signals
type: item
description: The DCM (duty-cycle modulation) is used in industrial electronics as a special technique for producing switching time-varying periodic waves, with variable pulse width and modulation period. As an implication, unlike the fixed period of a PWM wave, the cyclic ratio of a DCM signal changes as a function of the modulating input according to a known function. However, most existing research works related to DCM-based instrumentation systems, are limited to single-channel contexts. In this paper, a multichannel DDCM (Digital Duty-Dycle Modulation) scheme is developed. It consists of an extended pre-computed DDCM data map which significantly reduces the overall DSP (digital signal processing) time, and a piece of dual DDCM counting logic with a downstream zero order holder per analog channel. It is used to build a well tested 4-channel FPGA-based signal generator with 10–12 bits resolution. Keywords: Multichannel, DDCM, FPGA, low frequency generator, instrumentation systems

type: item
description: A preplanning idea is always required before installing any new system. So, we present an approach for technical preplanning excluding mechanical designing and cost through this paper, to make the system more reliable as well as proper array selection scheme through the comparative analysis. It is implemented by using the comparative approach of optimized and non-optimized output for DSP270P poly-crystalline SPV array through PSO, P&O and GA techniques with the help of practical hardware and simulation approach of MATLAB-10 and ode64, aiming the development of various modern power semiconductor devices for any large or bulky SPV system network. Under this idea, the computation of output/solar power, failure rate and reliability analysis of this SPV system for different number of panels has been covered. In-spite of this, DSP210D module is compared with the different types of solar array modules with respect to the number of panels. The initiative step is done by using the data sheet of manufacturer for the comparative study under elementary platform, especially for DSP 270P (Poly Crystalline) and KS-M 280 W solar models (Mono Crystalline), BP SX 150 and SPP 280-24 solar models (Poly Crystalline) and other different modules. All the graphs for several key parameters are plotted in MATLAB. Keywords: PV, SPV, MPPT, PSO, GA, STC, NOCT

Effect on Temperature and Efficiency on Photovoltaic Module of PV/T System with Water Based Optical Filter
type: item
description: Solar radiation has ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiations, in which infrared and ultra-violet part of the solar radiation are mainly responsible for the heating of solar cell. This decreases the efficiency of the solar cell by –0.3 to –0.5% K-1. When we increase the concentration on the solar cell then the heat becomes more prominent and causes the damage of the solar cell, and also decreases the efficiency of solar cell. In water based optical filter PV/T systems, the infrared and ultraviolet part of the solar radiation is filtered out and allows only visible part and some part of infrared which are suitable for the solar cell according to spectral response of the solar cell used. By this approach, we can increase the overall efficiency of the PV/T system by utilizing heat part of the solar radiation as well. In this paper, comparative study has been done for the solar cell with optical filter and without optical filter in same concentration ratio with the V-trough concentrator. Temperature of the solar photovoltaic module without filter is higher than with the filter. So, PV/T system is more reliable than single photovoltaic or thermal system. It also enhances the overall efficiency of the PV/T system. Keywords: PV/T systems, solar module, solar radiation, concentration ratio, optical filter, V-trough concentrator

Survey on Voltage Stability
type: item
description: Power quality has a vital role lately beacuse of the impact on electricity suppliers, equipment manufacturers and customers. Power quality is described as the variation of current, voltage and frequency in a power system. It mentions to an extensive type of electromagnetic [EMI] phenomena which describes the current and voltage at a given time and at a given locality in the power system. Currently, there are several industries exploiting technology for processing units and manufacturing. This technology needs higher quality and consistency of power supply device. The industries like equipments of manufacturing units, semiconductors, computers, etc. are very sensitive to the changes of quality in power supply. Power quality (PQ) difficulties encompass a extensive range of disturbances network such as impulse transient, voltage, harmonics distortion, sags/swells, flicker, and interruptions. Voltage swells/sags can happen mainly than dissimilar PQ phenomenon. These voltage swells/sags are essentially the most undesired power problems in the vigor distribution network. The objective and scope of this paper is the study of power quality (PQ) occurrence in distribution systems.

Microcontroller Based Automatic Thermal Control Mechanism in Small Scale Poultry Farm
type: item
description: Improvements to poultry housing systems need to focus on providing an environment that satisfies the bird’s thermal requirements in brooding and rearing duration. Newly hatched birds have a poor ability to control body temperature, and require some form of supplementary heating, particularly in the first few days after hatch, particularly in too cold and too hot weather. This paper presents the design of automatic thermal control mechanism in small-scale poultry farm to make sure chicken grows in required healthy manner and farmers suffer minimal loss due to young bird deaths and get maximum profit. This is achieved using temperature sensors, lamp, radiant heater, fan and cooler in conjunction with 89C51 microcontroller. Hourly based status of indoor temperature is updated through GSM module. An especial emergency alarm system with separate battery is also incorporated in the system to handle the worst case scenario.

Comparative Studies of Three MPPT Strategies for Solar PV System
type: item
description: The solar power technology is one of the most predominant technologies that serve as a major source of power supply. But, its initial cost is too high and its lesser efficiency has not made its use very attractive as an alternate. Hence, it is quite critical to use maximum power available from the solar PV panel and operate it at its highest energy conversion output. For this, the solar PV system has to function at the highest power output point. MPPT technique is used to make the system operate at MPP. The work proposed here compares the performance of fuzzy logic (FL) control method developed, with that of two other MPPT methods presently used by solar PV system and upholds which MPPT technique has better performance among them. Firstly, a MATLAB based PV array us developed. Then, three MPPT methods (Perturb and Observe (P&O), incremental conductance method and fuzzy logic method) are applied on the PV array model under constant insolation condition. Relative comparison of the performance of these three techniques showed that FL based control method developed is relatively superior and effective for MPPT.

Development of a Robot for Identifying a Unique Object
type: item
description: Identifying unique object and separating it from other objects is a major task in most industries. The objects can be separated based on colour and shape parameters. In this paper a robot is designed and tested to identify unique object based on shape in a given specified region. It assumed that the object may be a cube or a sphere. A unique object identified will have either different colour or different shape when compared to the remaining object. The robot keeps moving in a specified region, when an obstacle is detected it stops and captures an image through camera which is mounted on robot. This captured image is given to Beagleboard where it performs image processing task to identify type of object. The Beagleboard used to perform image processing task comes with ARM@ CortexTM-A8 processor with 512 MB memory and low power DDR RAM. The robot takes less than 10 ms of time to identify an object.

An Energy Stored Quasi Z Source Cascaded Multilevel Inverter
type: item
description: In the world today, there is a huge demand of power, although we have sufficient energy generation technique, renewable energy power generation plays a major role, like solar. This paper is about the control technique which includes ES-QZSI combined with CMI and energy storage in order to get constant output power without fluctuation from the solar panel. Combines cascaded multilevel inverter and quasi Z source inverter. Battery is used to balance the fluctuations of photovoltaic systems and achieve high voltage/high power. Solar power presents the intermittent and unscheduled characteristics, so energy storage is always added in PV system to get a smooth power. Energy stored QZSI (ES-QZSI) has already been proposed for PV system application. If combining the ES-QZSI with the CMI together, the ES-QZS-CMI based PV system will inherit all the merits of the energy storage and QZS-CMI based PV system. Moreover, comparing to the QZS-CMI based PV system, the new system can send the balanced power to the grid, and at the same time each module ensures separate MPPT to collect maximum solar power. Keywords: ES-QZSI (Energy Stored Quasi Z Source Inverter), QZS-CMI (Quasi Z Source Inverter with Cascaded Multilevel Inverter), PV (Photovoltaic), MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) Cite this Article Pattathurani L.

Reconfigurable Industrial WSN in IOT Environment with Smart Sensor Interface Using FPGA
type: item
description: IEEE1451 is set of standards developed by IEEE for connecting transducers to microprocessors, instrumentation systems, or control networks. These standards define TEDs for each transducer connected to system. TED stores transducer related information in memory like EEPROM. Wireless sensor network is network of distributed sensors that monitor environmental parameters and cooperatively pass data to main location through network. IEEE1451 defines standards for connecting actuators to processor in WSN. Internet of things defines the network of objects surrounded by sensors, electronics, software, and network capable processors. Wireless sensor network works at physical layer of IoT. Sensor interface device is required to collect sensor data in internet of things. Traditional sensor interface device are not truly parallel in sensor data acquisition. In this design, FPGA is adopted as a sensor interface device with corresponding IEEE1451 protocols. Keywords: FPGA, WSN, internet of things (IoT), sensor data acquisition

Simulation of Z-Source Inverter for Photovoltaic Cell Applications
type: item
description: Our project is about the implementation of z-source inverter for solving shading problem. The application of photovoltaic cell normally faces the shading problem of solar light, so that it leads to inconsistent power generation and low system efficiency. Z-source inverter overcomes the conceptual and theoretical barriers and limitations of the traditional voltage source converter (abbreviated as V-source converter) and current source converter (abbreviated as I-source converter). The z-source concept can be applied to all DC-to-AC, AC-to-DC, AC-to-AC, and DC-to-DC power conversion. The z-source inverter employs unique LC network to couple the inverter main circuit. The z-source inverter provides both voltage buck and boost capabilities, which cannot be achieved with conventional voltage source and current source inverter. Keywords: Buck-boost, current source inverters (CSIs), pulse-width modulation (PWM), photovoltaic (PV) array, voltage source inverters (VSIs), Z-source inverters

Implementation of FSO Link for Full Duplex Short Range Communication
type: item
description: Extensive data transfer is a need of all modern communicating devices. Wired communication requires lots of bulky wires to be laid everywhere. To setup a small ad hoc network, it is not advisable to lay down long wires. Other than requirement of wires, one also needs very good communication speed to withstand the need of very high bandwidth for multimedia data transfer. A communication link that satisfies both the requirements is free space optical (FSO) communication. The paper aimed the setup of FSO link that is capable of carrying full duplex data at more than 100 kbps speed and can also transfer real time audio data. Three transceiver modules are designed for communication purpose. The link is first simulated using Optsim tool and then implemented using standard microprocessors. The link is reliable and can achieve the BER of 10–7. The setup is tested for stored images, videos and real time audio data. Keywords: Free space optics, full duplex transmission, FSO link setup

type: item
description: Aluminium metal matrix composites are emerging as the most versatile material for unique automotive, aviation, aerospace, defense, marine applications and other structural applications due to their excellent mixture of properties. In the present investigation, a hybrid composite of Al8011 aluminium alloy reinforced with B4C and red mud was fabricated by stir casting method. Red mud is one of the major waste material extracted from the bauxite ore of alumina during Bayer’s process. Red mud is considered as a dangerous material according to the brazillian standard NBR 10004/2004, which is being worked under room condition as a reinforcement with aluminium metal matrix. The samples were casted by varying the proportions in weight percentage by stir casting route. The samples are subjected to tensile, compression, hardness test and its micro structures observed.
