Design of Air Cushion Vehicle
type: item
description: Abstract In this research we made an attempt to design a hovercraft vehicle. This vehicle is different from other conventional and terrestrial of this kind that uses the single directional control as rudder. Major consideration is that the hovercraft should weigh less than the conventional crafts. This design uses a double duct motor for both the lift and thrust moments. The air is continuously forced under the vehicle by a fan, generating the cushion that greatly reduces friction between the moving vehicle and surface. The air is passed through ducts and injected at the periphery of the vehicle in downward and inward direction. The air from the duct is made to flow to the periphery using an L-BEND this produces a downward force. This type of vehicle can equally ride over ice, water, marsh or relatively level land.

Hybrid System (Wind and Solar) for Rural Lighting Applications
type: item
description: Abstract Standalone wind with solar photovoltaic is known as the best hybrid combination of all renewable energy systems and suitable for most of the applications taking care of seasonal changes. They also complement each other during lean periods, example additional energy production by wind during monsoon months compensates less output generated by solar. Similarly, post winter months when wind is dull, SPV takes over. The hybrid system provides more continuous all year-round renewable energy production. These systems are modular and can be expanded easily. A hybrid renewable energy system utilizes two or more energy production methods, usually solar and wind power. Hybrid wind and solar systems provide more consistent year-round performance and reduce the need for back-up generation. The major advantage of solar/wind hybrid system is that when solar and wind power production is used together, the reliability of the system is enhanced. Additionally, the size of battery storage can be reduced as there is less reliance on one method of power production. Often, when there is no sun, there is plenty of wind. The packaged systems are ideally suited to remote homes, schools, clinics and other off-grid applications. They can also be retrofitted to existing diesel-generator systems to save on high fuel costs, minimize noise and provide up to 24 h power. The standard hybrid systems are available to meet power needs. We can also tailor a system to suit should you have a smaller or larger power requirement.

Pre-Deployment Tests of Signal Conditioning Boards for Wireless Sensor Network Deployment
type: item
description: Abstract Diversity in signal measurement and transmission increases signal availability. Various well known stabilized technologies are available to use to achieve diversity in signal measurement. But to achieve transmission diversity, the wireless technology is a truly diverse mechanism of wired transmission. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the practical implementation of such technology. To implement WSN for nuclear reactor signals, it requires stringent testing, qualification, verification and validation of WSN nodes and it’s Signal Conditioning Boards (SCBs). Calibration of sensor and its signal conditioning board is the basic requirement for any plant sensor or instrument. The other most important concern is that the measuring system should not load the sensor or any other existing measuring device. This loading effect may lead to unsafe conditions. With this aim to use WSN in nuclear reactors, this paper discusses about the calibration and loading effect of the SCBs designed for interfacing WSN nodes to sensors. Finally, to observe the network performance and signal behavior, a wireless sensor node has been deployed in fast breeder test reactor which transmits accurate measurements without affecting the normal functionality of wired measurements Keywords: Calibration, loading, signal conditioning boards, wireless sensor network, deployment of WSN Cite this Article D.

type: item
description: Since few decades, research in solar power generation techniques is taking pace as there is a need for environment friendly energy. The demand of green energy has made recent scientist and engineers to join hands together for finding solution to meet the scarce of fuel energy. The public demand for solar panel is rising high because of increased electricity rates of units. This paper presents the efficient fabricated and optimized assembly of the solar cells to generate energy for driving a single seater vehicle. The details of the panel, cell array in series or in parallel and extended or fastenable welded structures are also presented which easily bears the shocks, sudden pull and push of the vehicle. The solar panel is sandwiched between a plastic sheet and wooden board, and needs special care as the entire structure experiences a type of pull and push, when the vehicle accelerates or stops. The economical and easier operation demands high technology for efficient generation of solar energy. The panel is efficient to drive a vehicle to a speed of 35 km/h, which is very close to ideal speed, by using solar energy and hence protecting our environment from pollution.

Insulation Test (Leakage Current Test) on 1kWp PV Array at Real Time Condition
type: item
description: The study is based on the insulation test of 1 kWp solar photovoltaic array on real time condition. The insulation resistance is the dielectric property of the module and is defined as amount of insulation material provided in between solar cells and metallic frame. While installing the solar photovoltaic module, we must consider about the safety criteria, since safety is the first key element for all types of systems. Since, module arrays work on a high voltage in power plants, hence, their behavior is sometimes abnormal. Theoretically from the observation, it was found that the leakage current increased as the humidity increased in the environment. When module is covered by a sheet, there is a decrease in the insulation resistance i.e. an increase in leakage current. Insulation resistance goes on decreasing as the number of modules is increased from 250 Wp to 1 kWp in series and parallel both.

Design of RF Energy Harvesting Circuit Using π Matching Network for Low Power Devices
type: item
description: Author proposed a different matching network in this paper to reduce the losses between a receiving antenna and RF to DC convertor by incorporating a π matching network. RF energy harvesting is increasing in demand to charge the low power device without using any external power supply. In this proposed harvesting circuit, the output voltage has been increased up to 5.9 V, which is sufficient enough to charge any low power devices as there battery capacity is only 50 uAh. Simulation results represent that by using π matching network of high-Q, output voltage of harvesting circuit increases and it becomes more sensitive with respect to input signal frequency and value of elements used.

Stabilizing Hydrodynamic Bearing Using Hâˆž Loop Shaping Design Procedure
type: item
description: This paper proposes the idea of H∞ loop shaping to design an active stabilizing controller for short journal bearing. Hydrodynamic bearings have viscous friction and stiffness force associated with fluid film layer sheared during the motion of bearing; at high speed, they can land up too wide and considerable heat is generated. As a result instability occurs, thus working inefficiently that can be the cause of material damage and also producing inaccurate result. So, to minimize the error and making the system stable, a controller is designed using robust control (H∞ loop shaping) approach. Firstly, the system is modelled by mathematical approach, and then compensator is selected to make singular value of nominal control system becoming the desired open loop gain. Finally, H∞ loop shaping controller is designed based on robust stabilization theory. Implementation of this controller is cost efficient and reduces system complexity of short journal bearing setup.

Stabilizing Varying Eccentricity Problem in Hydrodynamic Bearings Using Elegant Control Strategies
type: item
description: The implementation of elegant control strategies to stabilize varying eccentricity problem in hydrodynamic bearing has been proposed in this paper. This implementation deals or gives an advantage of good stability of hydrodynamic bearing, even at critical or threshold speeds where an unstable whirl occurs leading to instability assisted greatly by this varying eccentricity factor. Hence in this paper, we take eccentricity as a function of variation and try to stabilize it with a simple and elegant control law. Related stability graphs have been plotted using MATLAB 2013 and models have been designed using SIMULINK.

Servo and Regulatory Response of Non-linear Spherical Tank System
type: item
description: The highly nonlinear spherical tank system is employed in many process industries for huge storage. The nonlinearity is due to the cross-sectional area of the tank with respect to its height. Thus, the level control of the spherical tank system is a challenging task. The diverse controller methods are existing for level control, in which 95% of controllers employed are Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) controllers. In this paper, to overcome the nonlinearity, in the single spherical tank system, the controller design was done for four different operating regions. By the real time data collected from the system, empirical modelling was performed and their respective first order plus time delay (FOPTD) models at different regions were obtained. Using Ziegler Nichols (ZN) method, PID controller tuning was made for control of level in the system. The performance indices of level control system in the spherical tank were analyzed with set point tracking and servo control. The regulatory response in simulation with the time domain parameters was computed.

Environmental Friendly Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design
type: item
description: Promising mean of reducing emission and fuel consumption requires a hybrid electric vehicle (HEVs) powered by electric machines and an internal combustion engine (ICE). It is done without compromising the driving performances and vehicle functionality. This paper introduces the design of an environmental friendly hybrid electric car that combines gasoline engine and battery pack. The conventional gasoline and diesel-fueled vehicles are benchmarked by the fuel consumption benefitted by hybridization. The gasoline and diesel fueled vehicle investigate the relationship between fuel consumption and vehicle weight. The automobile manufactures reduced greenhouse gases like hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc. from the vehicle. These gases result in global warming and pollution, which have harmful effect on both lives and environment. Oil prices are increasing day-by-day. Limitations on the permitted level of exhaust gas releases are being instituted in major cities across the world; therefore, there is a need of fuel-efficient vehicles. A hybrid vehicle is an eco-friendly, emission free vehicle. The individual problems associated with the gasoline engine and the electric vehicle are get around by the proposed design of HEV. It reduces the use of fuel and production of emissions. It conquers the problem of batteries for the electric vehicle. Since an HEV charges itself, it never has to be plugged in. The motor can run as generator to transfer energy from regenerative braking and from gasoline engine to the batteries when it does not provide power.

description: In order to transfer heat between two different medium or else the same medium heat exchanger is used. It is most widely used in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and it is also suitable for high-pressure applications. Because of the change in process parameters, the general warmth exchange rate will be reduced in the heat exchanger. In order to rectify it, the possible faults developed in the heat exchanger have to be identified. Due to this reason, various fault diagnosis methods are commonly used. An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is preferred here. This method requires large amount of process data. The real time readings for both normal and fault operating conditions from a shell and tube heat exchanger are obtained. In addition, a transfer function model is also derived using the real time data. The ANFIS is trained with both the normal and fault data. By entering the test input data, the working condition of the heat exchanger can be identified by this technique.

Design, Construction and Testing of a Solar Charged Multi-USB Power Bank Using Lithium-ion Batteries
type: item
description: This work proposes the design of a solar-powered charger for low-power devices. The level of the charging current is controllable and any residue power is saved to a rechargeable 12-volt lithium-ion battery. The power source is the solar panel, which is connected to a power booster for faster charging of any USB device connected to it. Quick charging is 20% of the battery output current (almost 10,000 mA/h) so that the current is limited to 2000 mA. Normal charging is 10% of the cellular battery output current (almost 1,000 mA/h), so that the charging current is limited to 500 mA. The design uses only a few components, making the cost system minimal and highly portable. It was simulated on MultiSim Ver. 11 before being implemented practically to validate it. The results from the simulation and the experiment show the design’s sufficient feasibility for practical implementation.

Motor Control Circuits Used in Automatic Sun Tracking Systems: A Review
type: item
description: Sun tracking systems provide excellent values of energy gain when compared to fixed photovoltaic (PV) systems. One of the prominent blocks of an active sun tracking system (ASTS) is the motor drive control circuit. This circuit controls motor movement and aligns the PV panel to remain normal to incident solar radiation during all times of the day. The motor drive mechanism includes an electronic circuit that accurately controls the movement of a tracking motor using closed loop or open loop control systems. Precise alignment of the PV panel for correctly tracking the sun throughout the day depends on the performance of the motor control circuit. This review paper focuses on the different types of sun tracking systems used by researchers all over the world and the various types of motor control circuits used in them. It also compares their performance, relative merits and demerits based on their operating principle.

A Review on Transformer Design and Innovative Aspects of Optimization
type: item
description: Transformer is the most costly and important component of power system. It is more than 100 years old technology. Technology has not changed drastically but the challenges are continuous increase in size and rating, competition in global market, accurate prediction of performance parameters, updating of design baseline and many more. Transformer design optimization (TDO) is a complex task in which designer have to ensure that the imposed specifications are met, while keeping manufacturing costs low. The research associated with design optimization is therefore more restricted involving different mathematical optimization methods. This paper presents review of research and development in transformer engineering and design optimization for the past 40 years based on more than 100 published papers, latest 10 transformer books and various national and international standards. Keywords: transformer design optimization (TDO), magnetic circuit, no load losses, load loss cooling, finite element method (FEM) Cite this Article Parekh C, Kotwal C, Upadhyay H.

LabVIEW-based Virtual Instrument for Simulation of Doppler Blood Flow Velocimetry of Umbilical Artery
type: item
description: Doppler blood flow velocimetry has become a routine practice for fetal surveillance in high-risk pregnancies. Doppler assessment of various fetal vascular beds helps in determining the relationship between fetal circulation and associated fetal conditions like hypoxia, brain-sparing effect and growth restriction. The umbilical artery, uterine artery and middle cerebral artery are three most studied vascular beds for fetal surveillance. In our research we are focused only on the umbilical artery since, abnormal umbilical artery velocimetric findings is a direct indication of an elevated value of resistance to the blood flow in the placenta. To better understand this relationship we have constructed a mathematical model of feto-placental circulation. A LabVIEW-based virtual instrument is also designed to simulate the model. The simulated waveform is similar to Doppler blood flow velocimetry of umbilical artery. Doppler indices (resistive index, systolic-to-diastolic ratio, pulsatility index) derived from simulated waveform revealed consistent relationship with advancing gestation as shown by real-time Doppler blood flow velocimetry of umbilical artery. Abnormal values of Doppler indices indicate complicated fetal conditions like intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR).
