DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2018.621
Abstract: One of the most important issues about implementing superconducting fault current limiters in the future intelligent networks is studying its possible effects on fault current and power quality parameters. Hence, SFCL locating in power systems has been taken into consideration. Due to the microgrid connection to the power grid, abnormal fault current is a serious issue that should be eliminated. The side effects of fault occurrence on power quality can cause electrical equipment failure which increases the need for controlling power quality parameters including voltage sags. This paper uses resistive SFCL to overcome the mentioned problems in microgrids. Different SFCL arrangements are studied in Matlab Simulink environment to decrease the fault current and voltage sag improvement, and the optimal arrangement will be selected. The simulation results introduce the optimal SFCl for fault current and voltage sag control while indicating that SFCL is effective for AC and DC microgrid protection.
Keywords: Supeconductive fault current limiter, microgrid, power quality, voltage sag, fault current.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2018.623
Abstract: Multilevel Inverters (MI) achieve the desired output voltage by suitable combination of low dc variable voltages at the input side. The fundamental output voltage can be controlled and the undesirable lower order harmonics of stepped voltage waveform can be eliminated by applying Selective harmonic Elimination (SHE) Method. In this method, the commutation is provided for semiconductor switches on fundamental output voltage at predetermined angles. This paper proposes a Fuzzy Logic Controller to regulate the output voltage waveform of multilevel inverter with reduced harmonics. At first the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to evaluate switching angles for different combination of input voltages applied to MLI and then a fuzzy controller is designed using PSO results to achieve the desired Fundamental output voltage and eliminate the low order harmonic for entire range of dc input voltage sources variation. The proposed FLC controlled method is carried out for a wider range of input dc voltages by considering ±10% variations in nominal voltage values to design 7 & 9-level inverter to validate the results obtained.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2018.624
Abstract: Unmanned Multipurpose Transporter (UMT) is a transporter to transport an object or device to the targeted/intended point. In this project, the transporter is customized to mobilize Dengue Fighting Capsule (DFC), which is a device meant for controlling dengue mosquito population. The function of DFC is to provide a comfortable water bedding for the dengue mosquito to lay its egg and subsequently, the eggs will be shocked by using the electrical current before pouring them on a layer of dry sand. In this way, DFC eliminates the egg before it hatches into full grown next-in-line carrier of dengue virus. Secondly, having the eggs on a layer of dry sand will further decreases the chances of the eggs from hatching. Often, the mosquitoes breading area is normally located at difficult to reach or unreachable places for example, gaps formed underneath the buildings due to residing of the soft soil over times, in the stagnant open pools of water or in both cases. In this project, we aim at developing a prototype of transporter to transport the DFC that is able to overcome all the challenges such as stagnant water pools, rough topology of ground and others. Beside physical built-up challenges, stability and anchoring in water by the transporter will also be studied. Deep understanding is required for the design and development of UMT as it involves multidisciplinary areas in

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2018.628
Abstract: Three phase induction motors are the most widely used motors for industrial control and automation. Hence they are often called the workhorse of the motion industries[1]. They are robust, reliable, less maintenance and of high durability. When power is supplied to an induction motor with recommended specified voltage and frequency, it runs at its rated speed. However many applications need variable speed variations to improve the quality of the product. The development of power electronic devices and control systems has to mature to allow these components to be used for speed control of AC and DC motors control in place of conventional methods. Apart from power electronics devices which are used to generate gate pulses we can use DSP kit to generate SPWM pulses. Firstly, the program for generating SPWM pulses for feeding the IGBT inverter is written in C Language using code composer studio and the TMS320F2812 processor is connected to the computer using USB Emulator[3]. The program is dumped to the TMS processor kit and executed. The SPWM pulses obtained at the output ports can be verified using CRO. These pulses are fed to the inverter module to drive the Three Phase Induction Motor.
Abstract: Disability is the state of a person in which one has to depend on others for their own needs. Visual impairment is one of the disabilities of a human being. To date numerous methods had been proposed to enhance the life style of visually impaired and blind people. Still purchasing products in the supermarket without others support is tricky one for them. The paper describes a system that provides the guidance for them to identify and purchase their products in the supermarket. Quick Response code (QR code) technology is implemented to identify the product which is far better than existing RFID technology . The audio instructions will assist them inside the supermarket based on the real time situations. It provide obstacle detection to navigate inside the supermarket without colliding with any 3D object. To make the supermarket in a smarter way the billing system is automated. Hence it eliminates the existing queuing system in the supermarket. The ultimate aim of this system is to eliminate others support for visually impaired people in shopping and provide them a convenient and sophisticated environment. On implementing this system, it facilitates the blind people shopping, save the customer's time and promotes business sales. And using IOT product price is compared with market price.
Abstract: In this project, the proposed concept is to replace the existing methods used to measure ECG. The existing methods have lots of disadvantages such as it can’t give actual measurement when it is tied above the cloth. Similarly it can’t give reading when the person is doing some other daily activities. Then there is a standard method for measuring ECG which is mainly used in hospitals i.e., 12 lead clinical ECG system. But problem is that we can’t use this system in our home. The proposed method can give more accurate reading over clothes of any thickness. It can track heart activities even when the person is doing any other living activities. It can be used for real time monitoring of permanent as well as temporary heart patients. When any abnormality appears in ECG, system will send data to the doctor using IOT. GPS is also used to send the location of the patient. The proposed method is really helpful in case of heart patients. Since it can track heart activities, it can save lots of life from heart related diseases. Chances for early attack can be prevented to some extent.

Subodh Kumar Panda, Dr. M S suresh
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2018.6212
Abstract: The major focus of this study is to estimate pungency and compare capsaicin of three varieties of green chillies bought from local market Bengaluru (India). Pungency in chilli fruit is caused by chemicals grouped under capsaicinoids. The quantity of capsaicinoids which determines the pungency of the pepper is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) using organoleptic test. But organoleptic test is not accurate and palate dependent. At present the most dominant technique used to measure capsaicin accurately in chillies is (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) HPLC. But HPLC measurement is expensive, time consuming and experts are required to handle the instrument. HPLC need to be installed in a sophisticated laboratory for it use. So, a new method for measuring pungency of chillies or capsaicin in chilli is needed. UV (Ultraviolet) spectrometry has been proposed in this paper to estimate pungency of green chillies. It has been shown that capsaicin content in green chillies is proportional to SHU, so green chillies can be graded for their hotness in SHU. Measurement on three varieties of chillies has been presented.
