DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14501
Abstract: A novel system which uses FPGAs and VHDL for monitoring and controlling industrial engine operation, is presented here. The system monitors and controls four basic parameters exerting decisive effect on engine operation, using corresponding sensors. Engine’s vibration, spontaneous fluctuations of magnetic field, humidity and temperature, are simultaneously monitored and controlled. Each sensor acts as input for DE10-Lite FPGA board used here and its values are presented in seven-segment displays. Every sensor is accompanied by indicator LEDs, of which green one indicates that input values are below critical set value limit, while red indicates that the input values of the correspond- ing parameter are greater than or equal to the critical upper value set by the programmer. Our system also uses three additional LEDs controlling the overall engine operation, from which the green one indicates that all sensor input val- ues are within acceptable limits, while red one shows that at least one parameter’s input values are above set limits, meaning that there is a danger for the engine because it is not operating in the appropriate way. The third and yellow LED is activated when the engine overcomes time set period of operation, thus our system implements an additional control and protection of the industrial engine. Both FPGA’s board LEDs and buzzer are activated only if vibration input values are above upper set limit. Our system is cheap to manufacture, easy to use and can be also combined with IoT and AI systems, allowing it to share and process valuable information of all factory’s engines. It also provides the flexibility of setting upper sensor input value limits, depending on monitored engines, thus making it useful in a variety of applications.

Abstract: The Indian Railways has one of the largest railway networks in the world, crises- crossing over 1,15,000 km in distance, all over India. However, with regard to reliability and passenger safety Indian Railways is not up to global standards. Among other factors, cracks developed on the rails due to absence of timely detection and the associated maintenance pose serious questions on the security of operation of rail transport. A recent study revealed that over 25% of the track length is in need of replacement due to the development of cracks on it. Manual detection of tracks is cumbersome and not fully effective owing to much time consumption and requirement of skilled technicians. This project work is aimed towards addressing the issue by developing an automatic railway track crack detection system.
This work introduces a project that aims in designing robust railway crack detection scheme (RCODS) using IR SENSOR assembly system which avoids the train accidents by detecting the cracks on railway tracks.And also capable of alerting the authorities in the form of SMS messages along with location by using GPS and WiFi modules. The system also includes distance measuring sensor which displays the track deviation distance between the railway tracks.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14511
Abstract: This paper presents the development of a solar photovoltaic energy conversion system using a two-phase interleaved boost converter integrated with a maximum power point tracking control strategy. Due to environmental variations, the output of a solar panel is non-linear and fluctuating, which reduces system efficiency if not properly controlled. To address this issue, a perturb and observe-based MPPT algorithm is implemented using a microcontroller to dynamically adjust the duty cycle of the converter. The proposed converter employs two parallel boost stages operating with a 180-degree phase shift, which significantly reduces input current ripple and output voltage fluctuations. The system continuously monitors voltages using sensing circuits and provides real-time feedback. The boosted output is stored in a battery and used to drive a DC load. Experimental prototype level results indicate improved performance in terms of voltage stability, ripple reduction, and power extraction efficiency.

Sri K. Naresh and Dr. G.N.Srinivas
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14512
Abstract: This paper presents an optimal electricity market clearing framework based on linear programming (LP), applied to a real-time, multi-period Indian power exchange market. The system operator maximises social welfare by dispatching five generating units against seven demand entities across six trading periods using IEX 2025–26 average data. The dual variable of the energy-balance constraint directly yields the market clearing price (MCP) for each period. A market price forecasting module based on linear regression, using engineered supply–demand features, is integrated to predict clearing prices without re-solving the optimisation, achieving a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 2.47%. Simulation results confirm that the LP clears the market at prices ranging from 5,900 to 8,500/MWh with a total social welfare of 26.87 Million, and the forecasting module provides economically consistent predictions suitable for realtime operator decision support.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14514
Abstract: Traffic congestion in urban areas often delays ambulances during medical emergencies, which can lead to serious consequences for patients. To overcome this problem, an intelligent traffic control system is required to provide priority to emergency vehicles. This paper proposes an RFID-based ambulance monitoring and traffic control system that helps ambulances pass through traffic signals without delay. In this system, ambulances are equipped with RFID tags, and RFID readers are installed at traffic intersections. When an ambulance approaches the signal, the RFID reader detects the tag and sends the information to the Arduino microcontroller, which automatically changes the signal to green for that route. This allows the ambulance to move quickly through the intersection. The system also includes patient health monitoring using pulse and temperature sensors inside the ambulance. These health parameters are transmitted wirelessly to the hospital using Zigbee communication, enabling doctors to prepare for treatment before the ambulance arrives. This system helps reduce ambulance delay, improve emergency response time, and enhance patient care through smart traffic management.

Smart Monitoring and Control Framework for Landscape-Integrated Renewable Energy Power Systems-A Review
Simon Nyithpuou Chiman
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14518
Abstract: Smart renewable energy systems are no longer installed only as separate technical equipment; they are increasingly built into roofs, facades, farms, public spaces, and community networks. This review discusses how monitoring systems can support such landscape-integrated generations. It draws together work on IoT sensing, embedded controllers, communication links, edge-cloud platforms, energy management, BIPV, agrivoltaics, digital twins, predictive maintenance, and cybersecurity. Most studies show that present systems can record electrical and environmental data reliably and can provide dashboards or alarms. The weaker point is that many designs still ignore the setting in which the system operates. Shading, access, appearance, crop response, user confidence, and maintenance routes all influence long- term performance. The review therefore proposes a context-aware monitoring framework built around dependable sensing, edge processing, flexible communication, secure data handling, user-specific dashboards, and gradual lifecycle intelligence.

Advances in VLSI and Embedded Systems: FPGA-Based Design, Low-Power Microcontrollers, and Nanowire Growth Technologies A-Review
Nitesh Kumar Vashisht
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14519
Abstract: Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) and embedded systems are moving toward heterogeneous designs where speed, energy efficiency, flexibility, and device innovation must work together. This review discusses three important areas: FPGA-based system design, low-power microcontrollers, and semiconductor nanowire growth. FPGAs are valuable for rapid prototyping, parallel processing, hardware acceleration, and hardware/software co-design. Low-power microcontrollers support battery-operated sensing, wireless embedded platforms, TinyML, and always-on edge intelligence. Nanowire growth offers possibilities for future transistor channels, sensitive sensors, and post-planar nanoelectronics devices. The review shows that these topics are often studied separately, although future embedded platforms will need closer cooperation between reconfigurable hardware, efficient control units, and emerging nanoscale devices. FPGAs can provide strong acceleration but may consume more power. Microcontrollers are energy efficient but limited in memory and throughput. Nanowire devices are promising but still face integration and manufacturing challenges. The paper identifies the need for cross-layer co-design methods that connect architecture, firmware, security, power modelling, and device technology for practical future VLSI systems in IoT, healthcare, instrumentation, and edge computing.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14526
Abstract: Data centers are highly sensitive electrical infrastructures that require reliable power supply, voltage stability, and high-power quality due to the presence of critical IT loads, HVAC systems, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). The increasing penetration of non-linear loads introduces harmonic distortions, while large motor starting operations can cause significant voltage dips and affect system stability. This paper presents the modeling and analysis of a 13.8 kV/0.4 kV data center electrical network using ETAP software. The system includes medium-voltage ring main units (RMUs), distribution transformers, low-voltage networks, and critical/non-critical loads. Motor acceleration studies were performed to evaluate starting current, acceleration time, voltage drop, and motor terminal performance for major induction motors under starting conditions. In addition, harmonic analysis was carried out to assess voltage and current distortion levels caused by VFD-driven HVAC motors and UPS systems, with compliance verification based on IEEE 519 standards. The study results demonstrate the impact of motor starting on bus voltage profiles and identify harmonic levels across different buses in the system. The analysis confirms system operational reliability under normal conditions and provides recommendations for improving power quality and ensuring stable operation of data center electrical infrastructure.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14531
Abstract: With the introduction of electronic voting systems, the efficiency, transparency, and accuracy of the voting process can be significantly improved. However, the conventional Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) involve a manual verification of the voter's identity. This makes the system highly susceptible to voter impersonation and duplicate voting. This paper presents a real-time face recognition-based electronic voting system using a Raspberry Pi to improve the accuracy of the voter verification process. In this paper, the authors have designed a face recognition- based electronic voting system that includes a raspberry pi camera to acquire the voter's face images, a face detection system that uses the Haar Cascade Classifier algorithm, and a face recognition system that uses the Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) algorithm. After successful verification of the voter's identity, the voter will be allowed to cast their vote through a touchscreen interface. The system was able to attain a recognition accuracy of up to 92% under bright lighting conditions, as well as 90% under normal indoor lighting, with an average authentication time of approximately 1.3 seconds. Functional testing was equally successful, with the system being able to prevent duplicate voting attempts by 100%, as well as store the votes in the database. This shows that the proposed system is effective for use in institutional voting scenarios

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14533
Abstract: This study provides an extensive examination of the administrative architecture of the Greek secondary education system. Characterized by a rigid, centralized structure, the system’s efficiency is often challenged by bureaucratic complexities and a lack of local decision-making power. This research analyzes the hierarchical levels of management, from the Ministry of Education to the Regional Directorates and individual School Units. By integrating quantitative data regarding administrative workload and qualitative assessments of leadership efficacy, the paper highlights the systemic barriers to modernization. The results suggest that while centralized control ensures national uniformity, it inadvertently restricts school-based innovation and responsive management. Strategic recommendations for a shift towards a more decentralized, pedagogical leadership model are discussed.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14537
Abstract: This paper presents a unified MATLAB/Simulink co-simulation framework integrating a reconfigurable dual- battery contactor-based converter (CBC) architecture with a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) energy management layer within a renewable-integrated community microgrid. Unlike conventional V2G investigations that model each EV as a fixed- voltage equivalent, the proposed CBC enables real-time series/parallel reconfiguration of two 36 V battery packs to deliver up to 72 V effective bus voltage during severe under-frequency events, while an integrated voltage-balancing stage suppresses inter-pack circulating currents by 93.7%. A Fractional-Order Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Controller (FO-STSMC, α = 0.85) governs the frequency regulation outer loop with Lyapunov-guaranteed finite-time convergence, and a cascaded Multi-Variable Compensating (MVC) notch filter maintains grid-current total harmonic distortion (THD) below 2.8%. A state-of-charge (SoC)-stratified dispatch algorithm coordinates 100 EVs across five behavioural profiles over a 24-hour simulation. Across 30 Monte Carlo scenarios with randomised fleet SoC spread, load variability, and renewable irradiance, the proposed system demonstrates a 47.7% frequency nadir improvement and 55.7% recovery time reduction versus the no-V2G baseline under worst-case disturbance conditions, with zero traction SoC violations and 18.7% daily diesel fuel saving.
Attention-Augmented Recurrent Deep Q-Network with Adaptive CLLC Resonant Converter for Intelligent Multi-Source EV Fast Charging and Hybrid Thermoelectric-PCM Thermal Management: A Comprehensive Simulation Study
G. Mahesh, M. Shiva Kumar, Dr K. Chithambaraiah Setty, P. Pedda Reddy
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14538
Abstract: This paper presents a simulation-based investigation of an Attention-Augmented Recurrent Deep Q-Network (A-RDQN) for energy management, executed on an Adaptive Capacitive-LLC (ACLLC) bidirectional resonant converter within an isolated renewable DC microgrid. This microgrid can power three fast-charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) at the same time. The A-RDQN uses a four-head self-attention mechanism in a bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) encoder to model long-term temporal patterns in the variable profiles of photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy generation. This lets it look ahead 12 seconds, which purely reactive controllers can't do. A cascaded Hybrid Thermoelectric Cooler- Phase Change Material (HTC-PCM) system takes care of battery thermal safety. It uses a shared reward function and a two-layer thermal prediction sub-network to optimize the current and coolant flow rate of the Peltier module at the same time. In four different dynamic scenarios, MATLAB R2024a/Simulink-PLECS co-simulations show that the A-RDQN can restore the battery's state of charge (SoC) from 20% to 92% in just 710 seconds. It also keeps the peak cell temperature at 41 °C, limits total harmonic distortion (THD) to 0.68%, and achieves a bus voltage settling time of 0.019 seconds. It does better than FCS-MPC and ANN-based controllers in every metric that was tested. The ACLLC's secondary switched-capacitor bank also makes sure that Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) happens across the 60-115% rated-load range, keeping the peak conversion efficiency above 96.8%.

FOPID-Controlled Hybrid Transformerless PV Inverter for Single-Phase Grid Integration with Improved Leakage Current Suppression and Reactive Power Support
P. Ramaiah, Syed Saheb, Dr. K. Chithambaraiah Setty
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14539
Abstract: This study uses simulations to test a better control method for a nine-switch hybrid transformerless single- phase photovoltaic (PV) inverter that is meant to work with the grid. The proposed inverter design puts together DC-side decoupling, AC-side isolation, and middle voltage clamping into one structure that works together. In all scenarios, this configuration preserves the common-mode voltage at half of the DC-link voltage. Because of this, the leakage current is substantially lower, with a maximum value of 5 mA, which is around 11 to 22 times lower than what is seen in many well-known transformerless inverter topologies. A four-layer hierarchical control structure is employed to make both the dynamic response and the steady-state accuracy better. At the primary level, finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) makes sure that the grid current is tracked accurately. A fractional-order super-twisting sliding mode controller (FO-STSMC) with a fractional order of 0.87 makes this even stronger. It is incredibly stable even when things go wrong or the system is unsure. A two-stage multi-variable compensating notch filter in a cascade is used to get rid of harmonics. It gets rid of dominant harmonics at 100 Hz and 150 Hz by more than 44 dB. A fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller also acts as the outer supervisory layer and allows you adjust the system with five different parameters. Simulation experiments run in MATLAB/Simulink show that the system works very well, with a grid current total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.30%, a quick transient response, and the ability to inject reactive power effectively. The system is also compliant with IEEE 1547-2018 and EN 50549, which means it is ready for deployment in the real world.
Keywords: Fractional-order PID, fractional-order super-twisting sliding mode control, leakage current suppression, model predictive control, multi-variable compensating filter, reactive power injection, transformerless PV inverter, VtCM consistency.
Intelligent superconducting DC–DC double-boost converter for ultra-fast EV charging, featuring liquid hydrogen cooling and AI-based PWM Control

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14540
Abstract: The global push for electric road transport requires a major change in charging infrastructure, especially in terms of throughput, conversion efficiency, and operational scalability. This paper formulates, mathematically delineates, and empirically substantiates an Artificially Intelligent Superconducting DC–DC Double-Boost Converter (AI-SBC) designed for rapid battery electric vehicle (BEV) charging. The converter uses high-temperature superconducting (HTS) Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃Oₓ (Bi2223) and magnesium diboride (MgB₂) windings as inductive elements that don't lose energy. Each winding is kept at cryogenic temperature by a closed-loop liquid hydrogen (LH₂) thermosiphon. A new fuzzy-logic duty- cycle modulator with an embedded Ripple-Frequency Optimizer (RFO) changes the switching frequency in real time to reduce inductor current ripple while also controlling CC and CV charging modes. State-space averaging makes a small- signal model that is easy to use and from which stability margins and frequency-domain characteristics can be found. When compared to a copper-coil baseline in MATLAB/Simulink studies, both types of superconductors show that the MgB₂ configuration has an electrical conversion efficiency of 95.8% at 15 kW, which is 10–17 percentage points better than the copper reference. The Bi2223 design gets 93.2% in the same conditions. Through smart frequency modulation, the total harmonic distortion of the inductor current drops by 34% compared to the fixed-frequency baseline. The time it takes to recover from a 50% load step goes from 95 ms with a standard PI regulator to 38 ms with the proposed FLC. The architecture is a scalable, net-zero-aligned way for next-generation ultra-fast EV charging to go from 15 kW to several hundred kilowatts.
Keywords: Battery electric vehicle (BEV) charging, Bi2223 superconducting coil, DC–DC double-boost converter, fuzzy logic control, liquid hydrogen cooling, MgB₂ superconductor, superconducting boost converter (SBC), and ultra- fast charging.
Improved Power Stability in Solar-Powered Multi-Port EV Charging Systems via FCS-MPC-Driven Virtual Synchronous Generator Control
D.Vinay, DR.K. Chithambaraiah Setty, P. Pedda Reddy, M. Shiva Kumar
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14541
Abstract: This study introduces an innovative control architecture for a three-port, 5 kW solar-integrated bidirectional electric vehicle charging platform, referred to as FCS-MPC-VSG-FO. A Finite Control Set Model Predictive Controller (FCS-MPC) is combined with a Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) emulation layer. This is made even stronger by a Fractional-Order Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Controller (FO-STSMC, α = 0.85) and a Multi-Variable Compensating (MVC) notch filter. The unified architecture fixes problems with poor transient recovery, grid-frequency susceptibility, and poor current quality when parameters are not known. The VSG layer acts like virtual inertia with Jvsg = 0.12 kg·m² and damping Dv = 18 N·m·s/rad. It keeps the frequency in check without any extra hardware. The PV boost stage is controlled by an Adaptive Variable-Step P&O (AVSP&O) algorithm that converges to the MPP in less than 15 ms and has an efficiency of 99.1%. Nine Lyapunov energy-balance requirements ensure stability in a closed loop. The findings from MATLAB/Simulink show that the grid current THD is less than 2.1%, the DC-bus variation is within ±1.4%, and the overall weighted efficiency is 96.8%. Comparative benchmarking against seven PI-based techniques shows that this one is better at transient responsiveness, harmonic rejection, and providing extra grid services.
Keywords: Adaptive MPPT, bidirectional EV charger, FCS-MPC, fractional-order super-twisting SMC, virtual synchronous generator, Lyapunov stability, harmonic filter, and photovoltaic integration.
AN INTELLIGENT SEPSIS PREDICTION AND PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM USING MACHINE LEARNING
Dr. T. Amalraj Victoire, V. Swetha
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14542
Abstract: In critical care settings, early detection of medical emergencies plays a crucial role. Traditional methods often rely on healthcare professionals manually observing patients, which can lead to the oversight of early signs of declining health. This study introduces a real-time monitoring system that utilizes machine learning to analyze essential physiological data and identify potential health risks before they deteriorate. The system focuses on patients with sepsis and monitors key vital signs, including heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. We employed various machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Random Forest, to effectively assess the risk of sepsis. Careful data preprocessing and feature selection significantly enhanced the performance of the models. Among the models tested, the Random Forest classifier achieved the highest accuracy. Additionally, we integrated the trained model into an easy-to-use dashboard built on Streamlit, enabling real-time patient monitoring, anomaly detection, and comprehensive risk analysis. This system is designed to assist healthcare professionals in promptly addressing hidden medical emergencies, thereby improving clinical decision-making. Furthermore, SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis was used to explain the model predictions, enhancing transparency and trust.

Fractional-Order Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control of a Solar PV-Integrated Three-Phase EV Charging System with Adaptive Sparse Kernel Filtering for Seamless Grid Integration
M. Maheswari, E. Ravi Teja, DR.K. Chithambaraiah Setty
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14543
Abstract: This research presents a three-phase solar photovoltaic grid-interfaced electric vehicle battery management system (3Ph-SPV-GEVBC) regulated by two synergistic control algorithms. The main control architecture uses a Fractional-Order Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Controller (FO-STSMC) and an Adaptive Gain Nonlinear Extended State Disturbance Observer (AGNESDO) to keep the DC-link voltage and EV battery current in check when power flows in both directions. The secondary framework uses an Adaptive Sparse Kernel Maximum Versoria Criterion (ASKMVC) filter to get three-phase fundamental load-current references from a grid that isn't working properly. The FOSTSMC gets rid of the high-frequency chattering that is common in first-order sliding mode implementations, but it still converges in a finite amount of time in both grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) modes. AGNESDO is better than other fixed-gain observers like LIDO, SOSMDO, and LESDO at limiting DC-link transient undershoot and speeding up recovery after a disturbance. The ASK-MVC filter combines a Versoria-kernel loss function with bias-compensated sparsity regularization. This makes it faster to converge and have a lower mean-square error than synchronous reference frame (SRF), LMS, NLMS, NMCC, and SABCAF techniques when there is non-Gaussian impulsive noise, which is common in real-world distribution feeders. The Modified Variable Step-Size Incremental Conductance (MVSI-InC) system allows for maximum power point tracking that is stable even when there is partial shade. The hardware layout has two levels: a DC-DC boost converter for connecting to solar systems and a threephase two-level voltage source converter (VSC) that also works as a DSTATCOM. This setup connects a 5 kW SPV array, a 7.2 kWh LiFePO₄ battery pack, and a 415 V three-phase utility grid. Comprehensive MATLAB/Simulink validation across four operating scenarios, along with hardware prototype experiments, confirm a grid current total harmonic distortion (THD) of 2.41% in V2G mode and 2.87% in G2V mode, both of which meet IEEE 519-2022 limits. The system also runs with a unity power factor and a DC-link undershoot below 3.2% under AGNESDO guidance.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14544
Abstract: This project presents the design and development of a magnetic levitation (maglev) vehicle system that demonstrates contactless floating and electromagnetic propulsion using low-cost, accessible materials. The track consists of a 1 to 1.5 feet long linear arrangement of neodymium magnets embedded in a wooden or plastic base, providing a strong magnetic field for levitation. The vehicle is constructed from lightweight foam board, with four neodymium magnets attached to its underside arranged in a configuration that creates repulsive force against the track magnets, causing the vehicle to float approximately 2-5 mm above the track surface. The vehicle carries a NodeMCU microcontroller (ESP8266-based), a 4.2V lithium-ion battery (single cell), two electronic speed controllers (ESCs), and two sets of copper armature coils. The NodeMCU hosts a direct web page that users connect to via Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for an external router or internet connection. From this web page, the user sends control commands (forward, stop, reverse) to the NodeMCU. Upon receiving a forward command, the NodeMCU activates the coils, which are placed strategically above the track. When energized, these copper armature coils generate an electromagnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnets on the vehicle, producing a Lorentz force that propels the vehicle along the track. Two ESCs independently control the two coil sets, allowing for directional control and speed variation. The system is powered entirely by the onboard 4.2V Li-ion battery, which supplies the NodeMCU, ESCs, and coils. This project provides an educational, low-cost, and visually engaging demonstration of maglev principles, electromagnetic propulsion, and IoT- based web control.

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has catalyzed a fundamental transformation in industrial monitoring by enabling autonomous, wireless, and real-time acquisition of critical machine parameters. This paper presents the design, development, and experimental validation of an IoT-based Industrial Machine Health Monitoring and Automated Control System constructed around the ESP32 microcontroller. The proposed architecture integrates a heterogeneous array of sensors—encompassing temperature (DHT11), vibration, smoke/gas, voltage, and current transducers—to facilitate holistic and multi- dimensional assessment of machine operational health. Sensor data is continuously acquired, digitally processed, and securely transmitted to the Blynk cloud platform via Wi-Fi, enabling remote visualization and analytics through mobile and web interfaces. A hierarchical alert and protection framework is embedded within the system, capable of triggering auditory alarms, dispatching cloud-based notifications, and executing automatic relay-controlled disconnection of machine power circuits upon detection of anomalous operating conditions. Experimental results substantiate the system's capability to deliver accurate, low-latency monitoring alongside dependable protective responses across diverse fault scenarios. The proposed solution offers a scalable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient alternative to conventional industrial monitoring approaches, with direct applicability in predictive maintenance, fault diagnostics, and smart factory integration.

A New Multi-Output Dc-Dc Converter for Electric Vehicle Application
K. Rakesh, Mr. Syed Saheb, Dr. K. Chithambaraiah Setty
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2026.14547
Abstract: Multiport converters play a significant role in portable electronic and electric vehicle (EV) applications. In literature, different configurations of single-input multi-output (SIMO) converters are presented. Most of the SIMO converters generate the outputs with operating constraints on the duty ratio and charging of inductors. The cross- regulation problem is still a challenge in SIMO converters design. A SIMO topology is proposed in this study to overcome the limitations mentioned earlier. It can generate three different output voltages without constraint on the duty cycle and inductor currents. Cross regulation problems do not exist in the proposed topology, so the load voltage is not affected by the variation of output current. The loads are isolated from each other during control. In the laboratory, a 200 W prototype circuit is developed; simulation and experimental results are validated.
Keywords: Multiport converters, single input multi output converters, electric vehicles, DC-DC converter, cross- regulation.

Abstract: This project presents a Hybrid Energy Harvesting System that generates electrical energy using both a solar panel and piezoelectric discs for continuous power generation under different weather conditions. The 12V solar panel harvests solar energy during sunny conditions, while piezoelectric discs convert raindrop impact into electrical energy during rainfall. The AC output from the piezoelectric discs is converted into DC using bridge rectifiers and combined with the solar output to charge a 3-cell lithium-ion battery through a buck converter. An ESP32 microcontroller monitors the battery voltage using a voltage sensor and uploads real-time data to the ThingSpeak cloud platform for remote monitoring and analysis. The system also includes a secondary buck converter to power the ESP32 and a 12V LED bulb as a load.
