I am happy to note that the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is organiz-
ing a second International Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems
(ICPERES – 2018) on April 4th& 5th 2018.
Electrical power is the lifeline of any country and it is well known that the per capita power
consumption is an indicator for the wellbeing of a nation and that the fast depleting conven-
tional sources, which cause increased environmental pollution, would not be able to meet
the ever increasing demand for electrical energy. In this context, the quest for cleaner and re-
newable energy sources such as wind and solar has considerable implications to the existing
power generation, transmission and distribution systems.
It is necessary for the experts from industries and researchers from institutions to get together
and articulate the expectations of one another. This could lead to a lot of new ideas, product
innovations and newer power installations.
I sincerely hope that the conference would serve as a forum for providing a unique oppor-
tunity for the participants to exhibit their research findings. I wish the conference a grand
success.
Message From Advisor
C R Muthukrishnan
Advisor, Rajalakshmi Institutions.
The Internet of Things (IOT) technology embraces many, if not all, aspects of solution to ad-
dress the various problems in the design, operation and maintenance of Power Systems. In
contrast to the current platforms/technologies deployed and in use, IOT has the potential
to provide an overarching simplicity and flexibility. We may denote this as digitalization
of Power System in a total manner. An analogy to capture this would be to look at similar-
ity in what is happening to vehicles and transportation systems. The task poses two major
challenges - IOT is still evolving (though rapidly) and, in-situ transformation of the present
operational power systems with no discontinuity.
ICPERES – 2018 will provide an exciting update of recent progress in the field to delegates
and enhance the synergy between Academia (Research) and Industry (Practice).
My Congratulations to the EEE faculty and REC Colleagues in organizing the conference and
wish the delegates and invitees a successful Conference.
Message From Principal
Dr.S.N.Murugesan,

Abstract: Voltage is a fundamental parameter in the quality of power supply, which may rise or drop
depending on the reactive power balance in the system and hence it has become extremely important to
manage reactive power balance for voltage control in off grid hybrid power system (OGHPS). Test system
considered in this work has wind power generation, Photo-Voltaic (PV) system with inverter, diesel
engine and composite load. Over-rated PV inverter has ample amount of VAR capacity while sourcing PV
real power. This paper presents voltage control through reactive power support by PV inverter. Inverter
control structure has proportional-integral (PI) controller tuned by Adaptive Neuro- fuzzy inference system
(ANFIS). Small signal mathematical model of all components of OGHPS with intelligent control developed
herein is simulated in SIMULINK and tested for reactive load and supply disturbances for voltage regulation
characteristics. Voltage and other state variables, obtained separately from PI with fixed gain as well as PI
gains tuned by ANFIS are tested to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent voltage control
algorithm.
Keywords: Voltage control; Inverter; reactive power; Off-grid hybrid power system
Abstract: There is a need for going in for renewable energy sources, not only considering the increasing
environmental pollution but also to meet the increasing demand for electrical power. Among the various such
sources, the solar power generation is steadily gaining importance, since it is available almost all through
the year. To fully utilize the power available from the sun, the Maximum Power Point Tracking is adopted in
this paper employing Modified Regula Falsi optimization technique. By employing SEPIC power electronic
converter and simulation studies, It is also shown that this technique is superior to conventional and modified
Perturb and Observe and Incremental Conductance methods.

Abstract: Current transformer (CT) is one of the important units in power system protection. It is the main
source of information and measuring a device in the protection scheme. The accuracy in transforming the
primary currents at high voltage using the CT determines the reliability of the entire power system protection.
This paper describes the saturation study of current transformer during transient faults. A measurement type CT
of 2000/5 A, 25VA rating is used in this analysis and it is tested for normal and transient fault conditions using
MATLAB software. In simulation the secondary current waveforms are recorded for different values of fault
current at the primary side. All the current waveforms are compared for analyzing the behaviour of CT during
transient faults.
Abstract: Measurement and analysis of power quality (PQ) issues are essential to improve the reliability
and efficiency of the distribution system (DS) subjected to non-linear loads. This paper deals with the issues
like voltage sag, swell and harmonics by using wavelet transform technique. All these issues are demonstrated
on a practical 34 node Indian test feeder with variable loads using Power Quality Analyzer (Fluke 435 Series
II). The quality of the distribution feeder is evaluated and impact of PQ issues are determined by time and
frequency analysis using the proposed wavelet transform technique.

Abstract: Load-frequency control (LFC) in interconnected power systems is undergoing many changes
due to rapidly growing number of wind turbines, solar and other new types of power generation/consumption
technologies. In this paper an extensive literature review of load–frequency control (LFC) problems in
distributed generation based power system has been highlighted. The various control techniques/ strategies
that concerning LFC issues have been addressed in distribution generation-based power systems.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence techniques, Distributed Generation, Load Frequency control, Sliding
mode controller.
Abstract: Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is widely used in chemical industries. Chemical reactions in
a reactor are either exothermic or endothermic and therefore require that energy either to be removed or added to
the reactor to maintain constant temperature. This paper deals with the stabilization of CSTR using optimal linear
quadratic regulator (LQR) method. Since the performance of the LQR controller mainly depends on the state and
control weighting matrices (Q and R), it is necessary to select them optimally and are done based on trial and error
method, which makes the controller design cumbersome also time consuming. Hence, to address the selection of
weighting matrices problem of LQR, Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) method is proposed. The matrices Q and R
are determined from the optimized algorithm. Performance indices like ISE (integral squared error) and IAE (integral
absolute error) are considered to evaluate the optimally tuned values of controller parameters. The performance of
the proposed method is compared with those of LQR method, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee
Colony (ABC) based LQR and conventional PID controller (tuned by Ziegler-Nichols method). Simulation results
show that the proposed controller has better closed loop response in terms of ISE and IAE values.

Abstract: The development of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission systems (FACTs) has attracted
UPFC (Unified Power Flow Control) for congestion management problem. Relieving congestion in
transmission line is a demanding task in the present scenario. This paper deals with reduction of congestion
in a fourteen bus system using PI and FOPID controlled UPFC. The modelling and simulation of UPFC in
the system is done using MATLAB simulink software. The open loop and closed loop system with PI and the
FOPID control are modeled, simulated with variable load and the corresponding results are compared. The
improvement in the dynamic response of UPFC in multi-bus system using FOPID controller is demonstrated.

Abstract: Distributed Generation (DG) system has brought new challenges for protection engineers since
standard relay settings of traditional system may no longer function properly in the system. The extreme case
is coordination loss between primary and backup relays. The directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) which
is the most implemented protective device in the electrical network also suffers performance degradation
in presence of DG. Distribution networks are evolving towards the vision of smart grids, with increasing
penetration of Adaptive penetration Scheme (APS) using Differential evolution algorithm (DE). This paper
presents an adaptive over current protection system which automatically amends the protection settings of
all over MHO relays in response to the impact of directional relay. In this project we are using FFT analysis
for smart grids.
Keywords: Adaptive protection scheme; directional overcurrent relay coordination; distributed generation;
differential evolution algorithm; smart grid.

Abstract: In this Paper, Sliding Mode Controller Based Grid Coupled PV System is proposed. The sliding
mode controller is employed in order to obtain the exact sinusoidal wave from the inverter. To track the
maximum voltage from the solar panel the Maximum power point tracking algorithm is applied. Perturb and
observe is the most widely used technique in MPPT algorithm, which periodically perturbs the operating point
of the PV array and compares the PV power before and after the perturbation. The phase locked loop is used
to synchronize the injected current and the grid current. The response for grid coupled PV system with Sliding
Mode Controller is simulated using MATLAB / Simulink and the experimental results have been verified.
Keywords: Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), Sliding mode control, Phase locked loop.

Abstract: Energy conservation is a topical issue and this design serves an efficient method of doing so. The
design was originally conceived to meet the energy needs of those living in rural areas, due to poor access to
electricity. Most persons living in these rural areas possess at least a cell phone but lack the means to charge them.
This goal will be accomplished by designing a safe and sturdy human powered stationary bicycle that produces
DC energy. The power generator was designed to be simple, cheap, durable and easily maintained. Its purpose is
to efficiently transfer the human foot motion via a pedal and sprocket-chain step-up to drive a 24V DC permanent
magnet generator. It makes use of power electronic converters which is needed to charge low voltage devices
like low charging domestic applications. Bicycle Power Generators are not a new idea, with many created by
hobbyist for residential use with small scale energy in mind, to charge batteries in case of a power outage or natural
disaster. We are looking to expand upon these designs and use a DC generator that will convert human power into
electrical power. The objective is to build a device that is safer and more power efficient. This machine is widely
used to generate electric power, to operate various home appliances, to drive water pump, harvesting activities in
agriculture sector and simultaneously useful for physical fitness of operator.

of different appliances that are available at home. It manages household loads according to predefined priority
and generates the total household power consumption below predetermined levels. In the experimental work
described here, working of smart meter, Boost Converter, Diodes, LED, PIC16F877A, Relay Switch, Relay and
Zigbee technology are discussed. Here solar energy is chosen as renewable energy to integrate with smart grid.
The goal of the system is to encourage the consumers to use less energy during peak hours.

Abstract: In growing modern world, energy requirement in the day to day life plays a significant role for human
livelihood. Simultaneously the decaying of fossil fuels creates the awareness of nonconventional energy utilization.
In this regard, the government of India appreciates the low to large level Photo Voltaic (PV) based grid connected
power generation. Even though solar panels are installed in many places in India, the full installed capacity may not
be utilized during low irradiation and poor weather conditions. The proposed project focuses on the solution to this
problem. The existing system integrates 0.4kw/m2 and above, while the proposed system has a minimum of 0.2kw/m2
irradiations irradiation of level using Maximum Power Point extraction (MPPT) technique. Hence the overall energy
extraction from PV units/month is significantly improved. The proposed model will be developed using simulation
studies employing suitable software package and experimentally evaluated with necessary hardware prototype module.

Abstract: A novel approach presented here is converting an existing vehicle into a hybrid vehicle by simply
adding one more battery and a motor. By doing this new proposal the existing vehicle itself will be modified
into a hybrid vehicle and used effectively and efficiently. Compared to a completely new hybrid vehicle,
the cost of the vehicle is also reduced. In addition to this, a new approach is done, which is to isolate the
engine from the wheel. Here engine is used only for charging the batteries. Therefore engine drives the
generator at constant current, so that battery can be charged effectively because of constant current from the
generator and also continuous utilization of engine is not necessary. But engine is used only when the solar
energy is unavailable or during night times. Other advantages are usage of dual batteries increases the life
time of the vehicle, better mileage than the existing vehicle and reduced fuel consumption. Because of less
fuel consumption the exhaust gas from the vehicle is also reduced.

Abstract: The pressure and vibration due to the motion of the bicycle can be employed as a means of
generating electricity that can be captured and stored for use by electronic devices. The piezoelectric crystals
have the natural property of production of voltage on the sides on the application of mechanical pressure
on the top and vice versa. By placing the appropriate crystal on several parts of the bicycle, energy can be
generated. The piezoelectric crystal can be placed in the wheels, fork, saddle and pedals of the bicycle. These
are the parts where vibration and pressure will be considerably high.

Abstract : In the area of farming, utilization of appropriate means of irrigation is significant. Field irrigation
is a most precise task, where excess or scarcity of water will result in crop damage. Human controlled field
irrigation is difficult for large acres of land and also late hour irrigation scenarios are risky in nature because
of animal disturbances. Automation of water irrigation based on moisture sensing eradicates a part of the
problem. This project intends to further automate the irrigation process based on an intelligent query of web
weather forecast so that excess water flow to the field can be controlled. An Android Application acts as a
central monitoring unit of the proposed irrigation system. The expected output is to control the pumping of
the motor by considering the moisture content of the soil and rainfall prediction of the region. This irrigation
reduces human effort and enables precise water flow management into the field.

Abstract: This paper proposes an active solution for scouting of harsh conditions via newly evolving
IoT technology. Terrorism is becoming a constant threat to the current human civilizations. Many acts of
terrorism lead to hostage situations. These situations are not easy to scout by conventional means and require
special means to be scouted. The new means should be cheap and easily operable. Thus IoT becomes an
integral part of this project. IoT has a large range and is much more user friendly than other transmission and
reception methods. Here Raspberry Pi 3 is used an IoT server and a smart phone as a transmitter.
Abstract: This paper proposes fault detection in a transformer using the “INTERNET OF THINGS” (IoT) technology.
Uninterrupted power supply is the most important criteria for proper working of the power system. All the equipment
in the power system play an important role in generation of electricity. Transformer is one of the key equipment in
the power system and hence in this project transformer protection is given more importance. A normal1:1transformer
is being employed which has a specification of 230V and 50VA. A transient fault is manually introduced in the
Transformer by switching on and switching off the transformer for a time period of 3 seconds. The output waveform
from the transformer secondary is sensed during a Hall Effect sensor and is amplified using a DIGITAL CLASS C
AMPLIFIER. The amplified output is given to a software named SIGVIEW which graphically represents the change
in output voltage of the transformer and the distorted waves are being recorded. The waveforms are continuously
analysed using DWT” (DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM) which decomposes the output waveform into
mutually orthogonal set of wavelets. “DWT” gives precise and accurate digital results. These results will be eventually
displayed using an IoT device. This enables faster and accurate fault detection and communication of the data to the
control room for subsequent rectification.

Abstract: Wireless body sensor networks are increasingly used for continuous remote health monitoring
of patients suffering from cardiac diseases by collecting real time data and transmitting them to health
centers. The sensor nodes along with the device collect, store and transmit a lot of data which results in
device constraints due to energy consumption. This paper first compares two traditional system design
architecture and one proposed design utilizing compressive sensing that could be employed with devices for
ECG signals and makes a qualitative comparison of energy consumption associated with each architecture
with the conclusion that architectures utilizing compressive sensing can be relatively energy efficient. Next,
the technique of compressive sensing is evaluated on data from MIT-BIHarrhythmia database to determine
achievable data compression with acceptable recovery. An approximate 30% and 40% compression ratios

Abstract: The consumption and reduction in manual work are the main motive of automation. Accessing a book
depending upon the availability by an user is a tedious task. If there is a system which notify the availability of the book
then there prevails time consumption and the user opts for an alternate book. For the above process to be achieved, the
system has the provision to install the IR sensor in the book, placed in the rack. The books present at the rack comprises of
unique information such as title, author, ISBN code, etc. These IR sensors readily send information regarding the books
to the OPAC (Open Public Access Catalogue).When the book has been taken from the smart rack, then a notification
regarding the availability of the book is provided to the system. The decrease in the number of book and the missing of
the particular book is identified by the IR sensor. Thus, there will be a change in the status of OPAC system regarding the
availability of the book from “Available”to “Not Available”. In order to place the books in the rack, the librarian should
simply show the book to the RFID reader present in each shelf where the LED glows indicating the position of the book
on the rack. This kind of approach is easy and simple and helps to avoid misplacement of books.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new Distributed Cooperation and Diversity Combining framework. It focuses on
heterogeneous networks equipped with two types of radio frequency (RF) interfaces such as short-range high-rate
interface (e.g., IEEE802.11), and a long-range low-rate interface (e.g., cellular) communicating over urban Rayleigh
fading channels. Within this framework, a set of distributed cooperation techniques operating at different hierarchical
levels with resource constraints such as short-range RF bandwidth is proposed and evaluated. A Priority Maximum-
Ratio Combining (PMRC) technique, and a Post Soft-Demodulation Combining (PSDC) technique are developed.
Proposed techniques achieve significant improvements in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Bit Error Rate (BER) and
throughput. Simulation and experimentation results indicate that under several communication scenarios, PMRC
and PSDC can improve the throughput performance by over an order of magnitude.

proposed system uses a GMR sensor which is placed on the wrist of the human being where the radial artery
surfaces, along with a permanent magnet. Under abnormal conditions, the blood flow in the artery changes
which disrupts the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet. This change is sensed by the GMR
sensor which gives an output as a large variation in its magnetoresistive elements. The GMR sensor’s output
is processed using a signal conditioning circuit and interfaced to a microcontroller which initiates an alert
signal during emergency conditions. The extremely compact sensor with its high sensing capability and non-

Abstract: This paper elucidates the implementation of a low cost non-intrusive residential energy
monitoring system with an intelligent user feedback and control. The system was designed using open-
source hardware and off-the-shelf components. A rapid increase in energy consumption in the past decade,
especially in developing countries has led to an increase in the cost of energy consumption. This gives rise
for the need to manage the energy efficiently. The proposed system aims to address this problem using Non-
Intrusive Load Monitoring approach (NILM), by tracking the energy consumed by the residential household
and alerting the users through their cellular devices based on the usage limits imposed by the user. The user
can also receive customized alerts when an appliance has been switched ON. In training phase, the average
current of each load is measured and stored in a Look-Up Table (LUT). During run-time, the average current
is measured and the Euclidean distance between the measured current and each value in LUT is found. If
the load with least value of Euclidean distance is under the set tolerance level, then that particular load is
said to be identified. The user receives continuous information about the number of units consumed as well
as the electricity bill which is calculated based on the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) tariff. This can
then be used to monitor and control the energy consumption more intelligently, thus effectively managing
the cost and consumption

Abstract: The economic power dispatch is an integral part of the power system, and the major roles of its use are
for achieving a reliable and efficient operation out of power system generation networks, and this operation should
be obtained by minimizing the generator fuel cost. Getting optimal solutions to EPD problem requires efficient
optimization algorithms. Novel Bat Algorithm is one of the most recent methods and it has already proven its efficiency
and reliability for solving the EPD problem. This paper proposes Novel Bat Algorithm in order to solve the economic
dispatch problem based on the large scale power system. This algorithm has proved its efficiency and it gave a perfect
performance for small-scale systems compared with the original Bat algorithm (BA), because of considering the
Doppler Effect and assumed that bat can move between various habitats. The study of economic dispatch for large-
scale systems is more important than study it for small ones, because all power systems in countries are considered
large networks. This is why all modern studies focus on the study of large systems. To test the performance of algorithm
during small and large scale system, it has applied to many systems, including 3, 6, 31-Iraqi thermal units and IEEE
40-thermal units respectively, with transmission losses and generator limits, and a comparison of the obtained results
has been achieved with other optimization methods. The Iraqi thermal units have been utilized as a new data.

refers to accumulation of snow, dirt, dust and other particles on the surface of the PV module. Manual
cleaning is costly, laborious and water is expensive at such sites. Automatic cleaning systems using water
is expensive and also causes scratches which permanently degrades the performance of solar panels. An
improved cleaning system has been developed that uses electrostatic force to remove sand from the surface
of solar panels. A single-phase high voltage is applied to parallel wire electrodes embedded in the cover glass
plate of a solar panel.

Abstract: This paper presents an extensive review on modelling and control of nonlinear autonomous
sailboat system using Conventional ID controller (CPID) and PID controller with Particle swarm optimization
technique (PSO).This mainly focuses on the way of dynamically controlling the sail of the sailboat to reduce
the heel angle and roll motion caused by the wind. A large heeling angle, a lot of roll motion due to wind
gusts can cause the boat to capsize. Sailboats cannot sail directly up-wind either and one has to move in a
zigzag pattern to be able to sail up-wind. The sail angle is optimized and rudder angle is controlled for the
given wind direction and desired moment. The main goal is to allow long endurance autonomous mission.

Abstract: Three phase Boost rectifiers are utilized as a part of distributed power generation applications such as
micro turbines, windmills, fuel cells etc. The controlled and uncontrolled rectifiers are generally nonlinear in nature.
Thus it causes high harmonic content in the line current, reduced power factor, low efficiency, voltage distortion etc.
To overcome these disadvantages, Power converters need control techniques. In this research, PI Controller and PR
Controller are used to control the DC output voltage generated using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation technique
(SVPWM) in three phase Boost rectifier. SVPWM is the special switching sequence given to the boost rectifier.

Abstract: Renewable energy conversion systems are gaining more attention in recent years. The rapid rise
of power generation using renewable energy sources forces to implement a power converter with higher
conversion efficiency. To ensure this, DC-DC boost converters are employed to obtain the required boosted

boost converters. The topologies analyzed are uncoupled, coupled IBC configuration and IBC with voltage
doubler circuit. These converters are designed, simulated, analyzed and their performance has been evaluated
based on various parameters. From the results, it is observed that IBC with doubler circuit proves to be the
best. The circuit configurations of the various converter topologies are simulated in PSIM. The results are
verified and validated.

Abstract: The objective of this work is to implement a two stage micro-inverter with reduced Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) and increased efficiency. The first stage consists of a DC-DC boost converter,
followed by the DC-AC inverter stage. A typical solar panel converts only 30 to 40 percent of the incident
solar irradiation into electrical energy. To increase the conversion efficiency, Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) algorithms (Perturb & Observe, Incremental Conductance) have been simulated in PSIM software
and better tracking efficiency was observed with the Incremental Conductance algorithm. To reduce the
harmonics of the output voltage of the inverter in the second stage, different inverter topologies namely H5,
HERIC and push-pull have been simulated and H5 is found to have higher efficiency and lesser distortion. In
order to control the switching pattern of the inverter, the pulse width modulation strategies such as Unipolar
, Bipolar, Saw tooth and Inverted Sine have been analyzed and the micro-inverter with lesser harmonic
distortion have been suggested for power quality improvement. Simulation studies are carried out in PSIM
software and the results are validated.

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of wind-driven three phase squirrel cage induction generator. This three
phase induction generator is connected with a capacitor bank for reactive power compensation and it feeds a three
phase non-linear load and a phase-phase connected rectifier supplying RL load. The analysis of three phase induction
generator with unbalanced non-linear load is analyzed, since the real power generated by the induction generator
depends on the reactive power absorption. This absorption of reactive power changes according to the inductive
reactance (Xm). This reactance Xm changes with load impedances. Therefore, when the load changes the real power
generated by the induction generator also changes. This results in the change of reactive power. The dynamic model of
the three phase induction motor, modelling of three phase rectifier with RL load and phase-phase connected rectifier
have been analyzed for unbalanced loads. These analyses are simulated for island mode of operation and the results
are compared using MATLAB. Experiments were conducted and the results show that the three phase currents of the
induction generator contains harmonic components and the waveforms are distorted.

Abstract: Fossil fuels are fast depleting, necessitating the use of renewable energy sources. In this context,
the modern power electronic based electrical and electronic equipment plays a significant role in our day to
day life also the power generation and demand estimation are generally mismatched with the forecasting.
Hence in each and every residence the usage of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has become essential.
Moreover the storage of electricity is difficult for higher value of ampere hour rating. There is also a problem
of differential costing for the power delivered to the grid by the installed renewable sources and the power
taken from the grid. To avoid this problem, this paper proposes HYBRID UPS system management. This
objective of the system is the proper power balance between the main grid source, PV power system, wind
energy and residential load. The power sharing is automatically regulated by the proposed controller through
proper modelling, simulation and experimental evaluation. This idea can also be extended to fishing trawler
systems.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new control algorithm for communicating and comparing the power
quality related parameters using a Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) driven by a Space Vector
PWM (SVPWM). The scheme incorporates a self-tuned fuzzy PID controller driving the space vector PWM
for providing a better performance in terms of small overshoots and rise time. Also this scheme ensures a
greater reduction in the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at the load terminals during nominal operation,
which is not possible using the existing method. For providing faster voltage regulation during voltage
disturbances a Deadbeat predictive controller is built-in with DSTATCOM. A reference voltage is generated
with this algorithm to the DSTATCOM thus reducing the losses at the feeders and maintaining UPF. The
fastest response of DSTATCOM inculcating the above features makes it an efficient solution for improving
the power quality related issues in a distribution system in terms of achieving UPF, voltage sag compensation
and also real and reactive power compensation are discussed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed
technique of power quality improvement is validated through detailed simulation and tentative results.

Abstract: Due to ever increasing demand for electrical power, there is a need to go in for large scale installation
of solar panels and associated electronic converter for augmenting the grid capacity. The solar power can be
conveniently utilized for supplying isolated loads also. In such cases, the DC output of solar photovoltaic (SPV)
system is connected with the load through the power converter. This converter unit has more switching stages
which leads to significant power loss with reduced gain as well as it creates shoot-through problems in inverters.
They are overcome by Z-source network and boost derived hybrid converter. Boost derived hybrid converter
(BDHC) is a single input dual output converter which can connect DC and AC loads simultaneously. This paper
proposes a Z-source network cascaded with the boost derived hybrid converter called z-source boost hybrid
converter (ZSBHC) for SPV application. This proposed converter provides inherent shoot-through, increased
gain, and reduced switching count results in reduced switching losses, high power processing capability and
more reliability. The modeling and the performance analysis of the Z-source boost hybrid converter (ZSBHC)
is validated with simulation results using Mat lab/Simulink software.

To reduce the complexity in controller design and computational time, the original fourth order model of DC-DC SEPIC
converter is converted into reduced second order model by using Pade’s approximation method. Then the PI Controller
parameters are acquired from the reduced second order model by using GA based optimisation technique. To harvest the
maximum power from the Solar Panel / Photo Voltaic (PV) panel, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) schemes
using Perturbation and Observation (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (IC) methods are attempted. Among the two
methods, IC scheme is chosen due to its high tracking accuracy. Extensive simulation studies have been carried out
by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software tool. Results reveal that proposed control technique can provide excellent
voltage regulation for load variation and can track81%-94 %of the MPPT simultaneously using a single controller.

Abstract: The major concerns in today’s environment protection is collection and disposal of wastes.
Manual disposal of wastes is more complex, utilize human effort, time and cost. Even unnoticed trash bins
might cause unhygienic disorders to human health. Our proposed system would be helpful to automate the
solid waste monitoring process and management of the overall collection and detection process using IOT.
Whenever the waste bin gets filled up to 80%, the Ultrasonic sensor gets activated and this is acknowledged
by Wi-Fi at the waste bin. This indeed helps in transmitting the signal containing status of the waste bin to
Smart Controlling Hut via internet. This controlling panel will assign the job to the drivers in collecting
the filled bin by sharing the location of the bin via GSM. The detection process is done at the smart bin by
placing two proximity sensors at the bin, one for the detection of metals and other for plastics. In addition to
the project, an automatic door is fixed which helps in closing the bin once it reaches to 80%of wastes.

Abstract: This paper presents a Modular Multilevel DC-DC Resonant Converter to supply lighting system.
The conventional multilevel converter requires the use of isolation transformer which makes the system
larger and less reliable, whereas Modular Multilevel Converter is a scalable technology which overcomes
the above disadvantage and can be used to supply high voltage dc load with high efficiency and low ripples.
The proposed system is implemented using MPPT algorithm to utilize maximum power produced by PV
cell. A closed loop is provided by Fuzzy logic based PID control to facilitate wide range of operation. The
scalability and high efficiency with less harmonic distortion makes the system reliable for High Voltage DC

Abstract - The three phase Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) regenerative converters act as both rectifier and
inverter. The regulation of three phase voltage source rectifier is achieved in many ways. In an open loop
circuit, obtaining regulation is difficult because, when the load varies, the output voltage varies. In order to
maintain a regulated output voltage even when the load varies, the closed loop is attained by means of dq
reference frame theory. The regulated DC output voltage is simulated by MATLAB/Simulink software.

Abstract- Power electronic devices introduce voltage harmonics during integration of renewable energy
sources. The nature of the renewable energy sources has an effect on the system operation that is voltage and
frequency, harmonics and power quality and also influences the overall performance of the power system. A
two-stage cascaded switched-diode (CSD) multilevel inverter is proposed for renewable energy integration.
It can produce more voltage levels with a less number of switches. The main objective is to reduce the number
of switches along with its driver circuit. Thus, the installation area and expenditure of a multilevel inverter
are reduced. By shifting the clock pulse phase of every cascaded unit, the staircase-like output voltage
waveforms are obtained and fluctuations in the dc sources are reduced. The feasibility and performance of
the two-stage CSD multilevel inverter is demonstrated using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation models.

Abstract: Lighting systems find wide application in residential, commercial and automotive applications.
Development of an energy efficient lighting system is a crucial in this era with cost effectiveness and intensity
control. LED spot lights now day’s plays an important role in lighting system with good intensity control,
long life and with less ageing effect. LED spot light requires a string of LED’s with dedicated driver to ignite
and control the intensity of a lamp. Conventional driver circuit are less efficient with large power density.
In this paper an integrated circuit is used to construct a driver board. Texas instruments LM5122 Integrated
DC/DC boost regulator is proposed, with performance evaluation such as input current ripple, output voltage
ripple, line regulation, load regulation, efficiency and thermal analysis.
Abstract: This paper proposes a new, improved zero-current switched (ZCS) and zero-voltage switched
(ZVS) DC/DC converter with a standard nine level inverter. The proposed converter achieves ZCS turn-on
by implementing coupled-inductors, for their leakage inductance, as well as ZVS turn-off, by employing
a snubber capacitor and diode. Minimal losses through conduction are ensured through the inclusion of a
voltage multiplier and coupled inductors. Continuous conduction method (CCM) is employed, for a duty
cycle greater than 0.5, which ensures that the switching range is not load dependent. The two phase converter
is built entirely without the use of auxiliary switches. A high voltage gain and a simple structure make this
converter novel for renewable energy applications. The nine level inverter used ensures lower total harmonic
distortion, and has an inherent self-voltage balancing ability. The converter/inverter is built to work with a
12V DC input, such as a simple solar panel, and produce a 320V AC output.

Abstract: Solar photovoltaic (SPV) array based grass cutter is receiving wide attention now a days because
the everlasting solar energy is the best alternative to the conventional energy sources. This paper deals with
the utilization of a buck-boost converter in solar PV array based grass cutter as an intermediate DC-DC
converter between a solar PV array and a voltage source inverter (VSI) in order to achieve the maximum
efficiency of the solar PV array and the soft starting of the permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor
by proper control. Consisting of a least number of components and single switch, the buck-boost converter
exhibits very good conversion efficiency. Moreover, buck–boost DC–DC converter topology is the only one
allowing follow-up of the PV array maximum power point (MPP) regardless of temperature, irradiance, and
connected load. A BLDC motor is employed to drive a mower because its load characteristic is well matched
to the maximum power locus of the PV generator. The transient, dynamic and steady state behaviors of the
proposed solar PV array powered buck-boost converter fed BLDC motor driven water pumping system are
evaluated under the rapid and slowly varying atmospheric conditions using the sim-power system toolboxes

Abstract: In this paper, the circuit topology integrates a novel single-switch resonant inverter with zero-voltage
switching (ZVS) with an energy-blocking diode with zero-current switching (ZCS). The energy-blocking diode with
a direct-current output filter filters the output stage of the novel single-switch resonant inverter. Only one active power
switch is used for power energy conversion to reduce the cost of active power switches and control circuits. The
active power switch is controlled by pulse width modulation at a fixed switching frequency and a constant duty cycle.
When the resonant converter is operated at discontinuous conduction mode, the inductor current through the resonant
tank could achieve ZCS of the energy-blocking diode. Accordingly, high energy conversion efficiency is ensured.
Operating principles are derived, and analyses are carried out based on the equivalent circuits for the proposed power
converter under different operating modes. The operating principles of the converter were verified using a 32.4-W
70-kHz experimental photovoltaic-powered load system. Given appropriately chosen circuit parameters, the active
power switch can be operated with ZVS, and a measured energy conversion efficiency of the proposed topology
of 97.3% can be achieved. Experimental results demonstrate a satisfactory performance of the proposed topology,
which is particularly suited to the energy conversion applications in renewable energy generation systems.

Abstract: A simple, cost effective and efficient brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive for solar photovoltaic (SPV)
array fed water pumping system is proposed. A zeta converter is utilized so as to extract the maximum available
power from the Solar PV array. The proposed control algorithm eliminates phase current sensors and adapts a
fundamental frequency switching of the voltage source inverter (VSI), thus avoiding the power losses due to high
frequency switching. Additional control or circuitry is not needed for speed control of the BLDC motor. The speed
control is achieved through a variable DC link voltage of VSI. An appropriate control of zeta converter through
the incremental conductance maximum power point tracking (INC-MPPT) algorithm offers soft starting of the
BLDC motor. The proposed water pumping system is designed and modeled such that the performance is not
affected under dynamic operating conditions. The suitability of proposed system at practical operating conditions
is demonstrated through simulation results using MATLAB/ Simulink followed by an experimental verification.

Abstract: Constant monitoring of patient’s health condition in hospital is either manual or wireless fidelity
(Wi-Fi)-based system. Generally in ICUs, nurses are taking care of abnormalities and the health of the
patient but they may not be available for taking care of patient’s health 24X7, so sometimes in absence of
care taker may exacerbate the condition. So in order to extirpate these critical conditions, we have proposed
a system which is an application of Li-Fi network in the hospital for monitoring the patient’s conditions
such as temperature, pressure, heartbeat, using respective sensors. Li-Fi is a new paradigm for short range
wireless technology to provide unprecedented connectivity within a localized data centric environment. The
technology works by adapting light emitting diode (LED’s) to send digital type of information, invisible to
the Human eye. If any abnormality has been detected, it automatically alert the In charge. This safety system
can be used in automation of hospitals, houses etc. The advantage of this automated detection/alarm system
is that it offers faster response time and accurate detection of an emergency in turn leading to faster diffusion
of the situation, compared to manual methods. This is a very compelling reason that justifies designing such
a safety system.

Abstract: In recent years, power converters are used to improve the power factor. Majority of the applications
involving electronic circuitry requires a regulated DC supply. Since the commonly available supply is AC, a
suitable AC-DC converter becomes mandatory. The AC-DC converters involve a number of non-linear devices
which introduces harmonics in the power system leading to adverse effects like reduction in power factor (PF),
more power losses results in low efficiency. So in order to improve the PF, the Power Factor Correction (PFC)
method is employed. This paper investigates various power converter topologies like Boost, Buck-Boost, Forward

Harmonic Distortion (THD), Power Factor (PF), Distortion Factor (DF) and Displacement Factor are computed
and a comparative analysis is made between them.

through maternal characteristics obtained using sensors. It also in reverse sense the baby cries by sound sensor and
transfer this information to the mother for necessary care. The system architecture consists of suitable sensors for
monitoring vital parameters, a microcontroller and GSM interface. This involves a non-invasive technique, based
on the GSM network embedded with wireless sensing and processing device. The communication is done through
Short Message Service (SMS) to indicate the status of the infant to the mother. The proposed system will absolutely
reduce the discomfortness of an infant by transferring the maternal pulse via the bed. This makes the infants feels like
as if they are close to their mother and their health condition is also monitored, with the help of an intelligent bed.

Abstract: The use of smart parking systems has become very essential especially for metropolitan areas.
As the urban population is increasing, more and more cars plying on the roads, search for suitable parking
spaces which results in heavy traffic congestion. Conventional parking lots are presently handled human
beings to assess the current capacity of a parking lot. To alleviate the parking problems, smart parking
systems must be implemented. In this project, an automated car parking system using microcontroller is
proposed. The available slots for parking are displayed on a LCD display by using IR sensors installed at the
entrance and exit. The capacity will be checked dynamically, and the gate opens only if there is a space in
the parking lot. A similar check is done every time a car exits the parking lot. Personnel cost can be reduced
considerably using this technology.
Abstract: This study focus on development of Probability density functions for arrivals of cargo vessels
served at a port handling multiple commodities. In order to investigate the distribution patterns of cargo
ships, units of observation were broken into arrivals at berth levels and for the whole port. The vessel
intervals play a crucial role in determining the Cargo port performance levels. The frequency of a particular
category of cargo vessels arrival might influence resource requirements at port berths. Queue system,
level of infrastructure and priority levels built in the system, charges levied for berthing and overstaying
(demurrage), paper handling procedure of the port were the influencing factors, which affect the arrivals of a
particular type of cargo. An attempt was made to observe, analyse and to fit the goodness-of-tests for vessel
arrivals pertaining to an individual berth of a multi-commodity port; Probability density functions (PDFs)
for the observed arrivals of vessels were developed. Also, simulation of port queuing system was performed
to study the effect of service rates on arrivals and the results had been reported.
Keywords: Vessel arrivals, probability density function, cumulative density function, Cargo ships, Multi-
commodity port.

ABSTRACT: The Landsman converter based on power factor correction (PFC) in bridgeless (BL)
configuration feeding a Brushless DC Motor (BLDCM) drive is proposed. The motor is fed by a Voltage
source Inverter (VSI) with an AC-DC converter with power factor correction (PFC) as the VSI’s predecessor.
The front-end bridgeless PFC based Landsman converter operating in the Discontinuous Inductor Current
Mode (DICM) is used for controlling the DC link voltage and PFC is attained naturally with reduced
conduction losses and switch stress. The designed PFC converter results in an improved power quality at
AC mains. Fuzzy logic is implemented for improving the power factor. The VSI is used as an electronic
commutator for BLDC Motor.
Keywords: Power Factor Correction, Landsman converter, power quality, bridgeless, Brush Less DC Motor,
Voltage Source Inverter.
