Abstract:  Captive Hydropower plant is the Low cost way to generate electricity present day. It is the best source of non-conventional energy. India is developing nation with the growth in population and upsurge in the utilization of electricity is tremendously increasing at an upsetting rate.  The following paper explains an idea about efficient use of liquid coolant jet to generate electricity using an open loop coolant flow which gives most economical solution for provincial electrification purpose at Cummins PHP plant. This is achieved by allowing the liquid coolant jet to fall on low head open type water turbine coupled to alternator by means of gear pulley mechanism. The generated electrical energy is fed to lighting load. The working principle, functioning, design with calculations and applications along with future scope of captive power plant has been explained in this paper.

Abstract:  The load variation in the power system is unpredictable which cause the drift in frequency, voltage to change from their nominal value resulting loss of generation and even blackout. So an approach has been undertaken for investigating the automatic generation control considering three equal area power systems at the first instant. In the present work, a proportional derivative controller with derivative filter (PIDF) is proposed and the gain values of the proposed controller are tuned using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. The superiority of the proposed controller is demonstrated by comparing the results with Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. In the next step, proposed approach is extended to three unequal area reheat thermal power systems considering nonlinearities like Generation Rate Constraint (GRC) and Governor Dead Band (GDB). Further, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is placed in the tie-line to improve the dynamic response of the system based on integral time multiplied absolute error (ITAE), settling times and peak over shoot. Furthermore, Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is incorporated in area-1 for further improvement in responses of the system. From the results, it is clear that the combination of UPFC and SMES provides better results.

Abstract:  This paper manages the execution of power line system in the field of power billing. In the present situation Power Line Communication (PLC) is one of the temperate methods for correspondence of information. Despite the fact that there are new strategies for remote communication Design of Narrowband PLC for Power Distribution System with Automated Billing Generation through GSM Network techniques, basically it is especially tedious to introduce such a system, and furthermore it is exceptionally taken a toll devouring strategy .But the electrical lines which as of now exist and interface each household device in a specific territory is more invaluable as it doesn’t require any new establishment or erection for communication channels, and thus is not a time consuming one . One greatest favorable position of this system is that it can be promptly actualized, not at all like the other present day techniques. This system takes out the requirement for utilizing EB meter reader and this arrangement of representatives can be utilized somewhere else. The long lines in the charging counter can be maintained a strategic distance from by executing this model. Additionally the control of the system is completely automated by this method. The most essential component in this system is the utilization of advanced meters comprising of microcontrollers and constant clock, therefore disposing of the loss of meter information during power failure.

Abstract: There are thousands of car accidents in the every year across the world. These accidents claim many lives and lots of properties. There are many different types of accidents, including rear end collisions, side swipes, head on collisions, collisions with stationary objects, accidents while changing lanes, and driving off the road. Seat belt usage, air bags, cruise control, rumble strips, and stricter vehicle safety requirements have all helped to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities. However, it is now possible to do more, by using intelligent driver assistant systems. In this paper, we propose a design lane departure warning system with object classification on road so that the driver can take smart and corrective measures to avoid the deviation from the lane as well as to avoid collision with the vehicle ahead of it. This safety system of Advanced Driver’s Assistance System (ADAS) can help in checking the road accidents. The system highly relies on the Open CV for lane line detection as Lane Departure Warning system (LDWS). The second part of the paper is object detection at the front of the vehicle for collision avoidance. It uses stereo camera as vision sensor. The real image obtained from vision system gives more accurate information to detect the target vehicle and gives satisfactory result. The output from the stereo vision sensor is fed to the controlling unit. Yolo (You Only Look Once) based real time object detection is used to determine the presence of the vehicles in the frame. Depth map for the vehicles located in the vision frame is obtained with help of stereo camera System Development Kit (SDK).

Abstract: This paper explains the control of injector test stand machine. The injector test machine is used to test the injectors in the industry as per requirements. HA290 Harritadge injector test stand was designed for Cummins india Ltd. to test the output of Cummins made injector.This injector test machine is currently controlled by an electronic card and relay system .Since this machine is 36 years old it’s service is not available for electronic parts, hence it’s maintenance is very difficult also it is very difficult to replace all electronic card with new electronic card. We can replace the electronic card with PLC technology. One can make better use of PLC in the design of Injector Test Stand Machine. This control is based on the input that is received from the operator as well as from the sensors. PLC control system is requiring to control all the functions of the injector test stand machine. The ladder logic programming will be used to simulate the proposed system. Because of use of PLC, systems are getting better, faster, Operator can read the measurements of injector accurately.PLC kit will be used to check parameters which affect injector output. Hence it is decided to design PLC operated injector test stand machine.
