Avinash Kumar Tiwari, A.K.Jhala
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4307
Abstract: With the help of power electronic Converters/Inverters renewable energy resources (RES) are being increasingly connected in distribution systems. In this paper, Photo Voltaic (PV) system is integrated to a three phase four wire distribution system. The non-linear loads and use of power electronics based equipments at PCC generate harmonic currents, which may deteriorate the power quality. This paper suggests a new method that consists of a four leg inverter i.e. capable of simultaneously compensating problems like current imbalance and current harmonics, and also of injecting the power generated by renewable energy power sources. The fourth leg of inverter is used to compensate the neutral current of load. The grid interfacing inverter can be utilized as power converter to inject power generated from RES to the grid, and shunt APF to compensate current unbalance, load current harmonics and load reactive power demand. The inverter is actively controlled in such a way that it draws/supplies fundamental active power from/to the grid. All of these functions may be accomplished either individually or simultaneously.
Keywords: Active power filters (APF), distributed generation (DG), power quality (PQ), renewable energy (RE) and Voltage source Inverter (VSI).
Abstract: This paper describes about a safety electronic system for women, built in public transport vehicles such as cars, buses and auto-rickshaws as nowadays women are being molested, kidnapped and harassed by the drivers. Hence implemented electronic system is fitted in the vehicle which has display, keypad, GPS, GSM and embedded board to control and interconnect all of the above. As journey is started passenger can enter her guardian, friend or relative mobile no, he/she is going to get all the notifications of the female passenger journey. First of all the driver’s name, mobile number, vehicle registration number and the secure pin generated by passenger is sent by SMS to the concern person of passenger . We can also add destination region even though if the concerned person does not check the updates, then also it would be useful in investigation, if any mishappening occurs. Passenger may always not get down at destination decided , she may get down little early or little further depending on various factors, hence an option to terminate journey is also provided called as end of journey which is executed and validated using secure pin, which driver will not be aware of . This system uses serial EEPROM to store various locations of cities and hence new locations can be added and thus project will work in any city because locations are not hardcoded in the code but it is external to code.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4310
Abstract: Cloud computing is a new venture that offers tremendous advantages in Information Technology. Data may be transferred, processed & stored in the cloud storage provided by service providers in order to leverage the full use of its capacity. However, data users are very sceptical to store their data in cloud storage. The data in cloud storage are out of direct control from their own users. The data stored in private cloud are secured to some extent whereas security of data stored in public cloud are not guaranteed. There are many techniques to protect the confidentiality of data before stored into cloud storage. This paper proposes a novel framework to protect data confidentiality of numeric and non- numeric and to enhance the security of data using cryptographic techniques in public cloud storage before being uploaded into cloud storage.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4315
Abstract: The extended preservation of food has been a challenge for mankind throughout the ages due to presence of microbes in every considerable niche of human environment. The present work is based on Pulsed Electric Field treatment, where the liquid foods contaminated with microorganisms are subjected to application of Pulsed voltages in parallel plate static treatment chamber. This study examines the reduction in survival ratio after application of pulsed electric field on four organisms namely Bacillus cereus, Klebseilla pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa when subjected to impulse wave of 1.2/50ÎĽs in parallel plate treatment chamber. The treatment voltage was varied in the range 20-80 kV and the number of treatment pulses varied in the range of 25 -100 pulses. The results showed that Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive organism with a 7-order reduction followed by Bacillus cereus and Klebseilla pneumonia with a 6-order reduction, when they were exposed to 80KV and 100 pulses. The most resistant organisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa with only a 4-order reduction.

Abstract: Now day‟s induction motors are broadly used for variable load application, because load on induction motor is not unceasing for each time and it‟s varying as per load requirement. So it‟s necessary to change the speed of induction motor as per load variation. Motor speed is directly proportional to the supply voltage and inversely proportional to the supply frequency. The ratio of voltage and frequency must be kept constant during speed control. For maintaining v/f ratio VFD method is used. In VFD pulse width modulation technology are used to control the speed motor. This aim is achieved by using ARM controller. By comparing another speed control methods, VFD method is predominant.

Abstract: Honing is to sharpen. It is a finishing process. In this process we use a stone that we call a hone to sharpen the workpiece. The process is slow and requires time. It also requires constant supervision. The paper focuses on the increase in precision of the finished job and reduction in need for constant supervision. This system uses a stepper motor to push the hone forward. It also uses sensors to analyze the hone position. The system is easy to install and attach to the honing machine. It is also cost effective as it only has a onetime installation cost and will reduce the possibility of hone breakage or unfinished workpieces.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4327
Abstract: Discrimination between an internal fault and a magnetizing inrush current has long been recognized as a challenging power transformer problem. This paper presents a new method of detection of inrush and fault current considering current waveform and its magnitude and time samples as ADC emulated data. An algorithm is used to compare the data of magnitude and time of both inrush and fault current with the help of FPGA. Decision can be made based on the output of FPGA whether to provide trip circuit for fault current and allow the inrush current to pass through as it exist for a duration lesser than the fault. Several investigations have been carried out on a single phase transformer and simulated for different fault and switching conditions. The results prove that the proposed technique is able to offer fast responses in detection of inrush and fault current.

Abstract: The alternator is the main part of any power system which provides power to the grid system which used as emergency power supply using prime-mover, as it is very costly, necessary to protect it from different faults and abnormal conditions. This report contains the alternator protection matlab simulation and demo panel. In demo panel contains five faults such as phase to phase, short circuit, over voltage, under voltage, overloading and loss of excitation occurred in alternator. If generator is not protected then power system may get collapse. A comprehensive and transient simulation model is established for various faults. All of faults in stator windings including internal faults and ground fault can be simulated in this unified model. Using the model to study the variation of current and voltage is conductive to analyse the features of fault and design the protection scheme. It is shown that the model accurately predicts the voltage and current waveforms under fault conditions. Hence it used to analyse important features of faults and to design appropriate protection schemes. The internal and external faults can result in a damage caused by the heavy transient short-circuit current. Compared with the internal and external faults, the ground fault is slight destructive but it will extend to the internal short-circuit faults in long running. The protection of the ground fault sensitively and correctly operates can reduce the probability of those severe faults occurring. So it is very important for relay protection of generator to correctly analyse the characteristics of these faults of windings using matlab simulation.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4332
Abstract: Introduction of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) into electrical distribution system might be a good choice with economy as well as practicability. The parameter design and current-limiting characteristics of a voltage compensation type active SFCL are studied in this paper. First of all, the SFCL’s circuit arrangement and operating principle are presented. Then, taking a practically 10 kV distribution system as its application object, the SFCL’s basic parameters are designed such way that it can meet the system requirements. In addition, by using MATLAB software, the complete current-limiting performances of the 10 kV active SFCL are simulated under different fault conditions. The results of simulations show that the active SFCL can deals with the faults very well, and the parameter design’s correctness can be tested. Therefore, in the view of the engineering feasibility of the 10 kV active SFCL, some preliminary discussions are carried out in this paper.

Abstract: Embedded System is a part of a complete device often including hardware, software and mechanical parts. This project presents multipurpose manual robot that has PIR sensor for Human Detection, which get activated based on external stimuli. The system imparts simultaneous monitoring through the wired camera attached to the Bot and sends simultaneous data to the CPU. The object in front of camera is located and directed. A gun hooked up to the Bot is used for pointing the target and hit the target object for target locating and shooting applications. Opposed to most common approaches, in which detection and tracking are done by an un segregated procedure, the approach preferred here relies on a modular structure, in which detection and locating are carried out individually, and the latter might acquire input data from different detection algorithms. The solution to the overall issues is based on the use of a Image processing for detection of object and target tracking done with assistance of gun movement. The robot also senses gas detection, depth detection ,night vision and accordingly takes steps. Gas Detection is done through MQ6 Gas sensor. Depth detection and night vision application is done through IR Sensor.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4336
Abstract: Power quality has been the focus of considerable research in recent years because of the wide application of high-power electronic switchgears day by day. The main reason for having keen interest in the power quality lies in the huge economic value which directly associates with the power quality disturbances. Thus, it is essential to establish a monitoring system to detect power quality disturbance. In this paper, a simple approach to classify power quality problems based on C-Programming is presented. This approach obtains the instantaneous values of voltages and currents of the individual phases and computes THD, RMS, DC and IT-product values. The computed values are then given as inputs to the program which decides the type of power quality problem and outputs the digital value. The program is tested for various power quality problems by using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results are presented for the classification of sag, swell, unbalance, interruption, DC offset, harmonics and telephonic interference.
Keywords: Classification, Digital output, online detection, Power quality problems, Telephonic interference.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4337
Abstract: In this paper, a sturdy binarization model for historic documents and manuscripts is proposed, The three main steps in this proposed method are: preprocessing, main binarization, and post-processing. The preprocessing step mainly involves image denoising followed by some morphological operations. Then, we use the phase congruency features for the main binarization step. After completing the binarization steps on the input images using phase congruency features and a denoised image, finally the enhancement processes are applied as post-processing. The complete experimental consequences on different data sets display the sturdiness of the proposed binarization method on diverse kinds of degradation and document images.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4346
Abstract: The First-In-First-Out or First Come First Serve (FCFS) job scheduling technique is a non-preemptive scheduling technique often used in many hardware, software and production systems. For improvement of parameters such as reduction of waiting time in queue and turnaround time, a version of FCFS is developed with a dynamic time slice allocation technique based on job length. The same dynamic time slice allocation technique is used to improve the standard preemptive round-robin priority-based job scheduling technique. Finally, this paper endeavours to attempt a comparative study between the FCFS job scheduling technique with dynamic time slice allocation, and the pre-emptive priority-based job scheduling technique with dynamic time slice allocation, both of which offer better performances than their standard static time slice allocation-based variants.
Keywords: Dynamic time slice allocation, FCFS, Priority Scheduling, Round Robin, Turnaround time reduction.

Abstract: Nowadays people are driving very fast; accidents are occurring frequently, we lost our valuable life by making small mistake while driving (school zone, hills area, and highways). So in order to avoid such kind of accidents and to alert the drivers and to control their vehicle speed in such kind of places the highway department have placed the signboards. But sometimes it may to possible to view that kind of signboards and there is a chance for accident. This paper presents smart zone based vehicle speed control using RF and and Accident Prevention system. Whenever the vehicle is within the zone, the vehicle speed is controlled by receiving the signal, i.e.., every time the vehicle speed is decreased to some cutoff and kept constant until the vehicle moves out of the zone, and then the vehicle can get accelerated by itself.
Abstract: Now-a-days the world faces the biggest problem of power. As we all know that production of power is less than the demand. In many countries the increase in demand of power is growing at faster rate than transmission capacity, and also the cost of power increasing because of higher coal prices and deficiency of fuel. Today, the growing population of countries is also one of the reasons of not getting full power. So, here we are designing such system which can efficient to both automatically monitoring and controlling of power. We can design this system using Zigbee network. Here, Zigbee plays important role in monitoring and load controlling for efficient power utilization. We discuss different hardware techniques for power monitoring, management and power controlling. Due to global warming, percentage of water on earth decreases gradually which is useful for generation of electricity. To overcome the problem of power distribution this paper will gives the solution for equal power distribution by using Zigbee network.

Abstract: This paper presents an idea of automating a car parking system in order to save and reduce the time, skills and energy required for parking cars conventionally. As nowadays there is shortage of space, this system model will also help in building parking spaces which are more compact and secure because of human less entry of cars in parking system. Our system model works in two modules, one of which is a model of a smart car and second is the smart parking area that is designed in such a way that the smart car suitably works on it. The car is basically guided by the smart parking area to park it correctly. The smart parking area stores the owner‟s information like his phone number and his corresponding car information in the form of car registration number. After getting these details the parking area controller automatically allocates an empty parking slot to the car and the smart car gets automatically parked to that allocated slot. Also a message (with OTP, for security purpose) regarding successful car parking is sent to car owner. Using this OTP car owner can take his car back after paying parking fee.

Abstract: Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) is distinguished by seizures with composite, often bizarre, fierce behavior arising only or mainly during sleep. These strange seizures and their happening during sleep are often followed by normal electroencephalogram tracings and neurological findings, making it hard to distinguish nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy seizures from other non-epileptic nocturnal paroxysmal consequences, namely parasomnias. Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy was depicted for the first time in 1981, but, as its epileptic origin was contentious, the condition was named nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia. Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy is the most difficult syndrome in the sleep related disturbances .This paper restrains an overview of Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy, which is a sleeping disorder and the prediction of Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy through electroencephalogram in which electrical activity of brain is recorded. Nocturnal frontal lobe can be treated by Anti-seizure drugs.

Abstract: Nowadays, the current energy grid is evolving into a smart grid. Communications research, especially wireless communications research, is considered as part of a bigger challenge and is seen as a great enabler for future Smart Grids. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has drawn wide attention on communicating data for Smart Grid and domestic energy management systems. In order to address this issue, this paper presents some of the challenges of WSN system based on the ZigBee technology (IEEE 802.15.4) in Smart Micro Grid. The simulation results with Opnet Modeler obtained show that the application of the WSN based on the ZigBee technology may be very promising in several Smart Micro Grids and Smart Grids applications such as the energy control and management. In this work, we also investigate the experimental performance of ZigBee based on measurements of the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in different parts of the Smart Home. Such models help modelling and sizing Micro Grid systems.

Abstract: Most of the power is produced by using fossil fuels, which emits Tons of carbon-dioxide and other pollutants in every second. Because of increase in demand of clean energy, the solar industry is the most growing forces in the market. Solar energy is one of the most important sustainable and non conventional energy sources. Photovoltaic is the straight conversion of sunlight into electrical energy with the help of solar batteries. There are many materials and techniques which are used for the fabrication of solar batteries which is based on low and high conversion efficiency. The first material use to make solar cells is silicon but its drawbacks are costly and less efficient .In recent time the solar cells manufacturing technologies are the thin-film solar cell which are use to produce electrical energy. On the basis of higher efficiency, the Thin-Film solar cells are manufactured and compared with traditional silicon solar cells. The Thin-Film solar cells are composed of several layers that reduce the current losses. When sunlight strives at the solar cell, photons with higher energy will be absorbed by higher layers and vice versa and low energy photons will be absorbed with lower layers which are made of thin film solar cells that lead to prevention of wasting energy. The comparison between thin film CdTe and traditional solar cell technology carried by other researchers to compare the thin film solar cells such as traditional silicon and cadmium telluride solar cell to indicate that thin film solar cells like CdTe are more economical than the traditional solar cells.

Abstract: In this fast pace of life, it is difficult for people to be constantly available for their near ones who might need them while they are suffering from a disease or physical disorder. So also constant monitoring of the patient’s body parameters such as temperature, pulse rate, sugar level etc. becomes difficult. Hence to remove human error and to lessen the burden of monitoring patient’s health from doctor’s head, this paper presents the methodology for monitoring patients remotely using GSM network and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology. Patient monitoring systems measure physiological characteristics either continuously or at regular intervals of time.
Abstract: In this paper, a variant of the Genetic Algorithm is used to place sensors optimally on a Large Space Structure for the purpose of modal identification. The selection and reproduction schemes of the Genetic Algorithm are modified and a new operator called forced mutation is introduced. These changes are shown to improve the convergence of the algorithm and to lead to near optimal sensor locations. genetic programming combined with neural networks could be incredibly slow, thus impractical. As with many problems, you have to constrain what you are attempting to create.

Abstract: Many industrial applications require variable flow control of fluid (air, chemical gases, water and liquid chemicals). An exhaust blower system based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) & VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is proposed. The main aim is to reduce the energy consumption by the implementation of VFD and hence the proper control of exhaust blower. The PLC operates and commands the variable frequency drive (VFD), to drive the induction motor (IM) with required speed by varying the frequency. In this project we are using VFD for controlling two motors for exhaustion of unwanted dust. Here, PLC is controlling suction mechanism of two different machines with set frequency. Whenever suction rate is slower/off, feedback is given to the PLC then, as per the programming, VFD will reduce the frequency of exhaust motor which will ultimately leads to less energy consumption.
