Abstract

The world is advancing every day in terms of technology, making lives easier. The world is progressing with the modernization of technology exponentially. Each technology is gradually becoming automated, as technology used in transport. Transport is an absolute necessity for people. Thus, in the field of transport, there is also a constant improvement. Previously, trains were operated manually with the help of a driver. The problems encountered with the use of manually operated metro trains were inefficient in terms of the characteristics, such as speed, delay, etc. In addition, a single mistake made by the driver can lead to serious consequences. The main problem is that a manually operated metro train is out of control over time, which negatively affects the railway network management system. To solve this problem, the need for drivers is being eliminated by the concept of driverless metro trains. The advantages of an automated metro system are that the safety of passengers is under control, and the energy consumption is reduced, which improves its operation.

Abstract

Environmental pollution is a constant problem. Since vehicle emissions are the main cause of pollution, this approach can be a preventive measure. The purpose of the paper is to implement a vehicle pollution monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Sensors connected to the Arduino Uno monitor the level of pollutants in the vehicle's exhaust gases. If the measured value exceeds the threshold value, the vehicle owner will be issued a warning message two or three times as a warning, and if the owner refuses to repair it, the message will be sent to the authorities. Finally, the data is stored in the cloud for further processing. The main goal is to create an innovative and time-saving method that will help solve the problem of environmental pollution.

Abstract

Safety is the most important component of any form of industry. The only factor in the mining business is safety. The mining industry takes many precautions to prevent accidents of any kind, including steel accidents. Rising temperatures are causing methane gas leaks and rising water levels in underground mines. The safety alert switch for protection will be enabled when worker is in danger. A reliable communication system should be implemented to improve safety between workers in underground mines and between fixed anti-personnel mines. There should never be gaps in the communication network. This paper offers the best wireless Early Warning System (EWS). Internet of Things (IoT) can track the working status. Every parameter, including methane gas, high temperatures, fire risk, etc., must always be controlled in underground mining. The safe level of coal mine production is still low. Accidents in coal mines occur regularly, which leads to heavy material losses and human casualties.

Abstract

This paper explains how to operate a networked hybrid system. A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) array system are taken into account. The hybrid system can run in Feeder Flow Control (FFC) or Unit Capacity Control (UPC) mode. Changes in load demand are adjusted by the main grid because the hybrid source's output is controlled by reference power in UPC mode. Renewable energy is widely used. When light and temperature fluctuate, a PV battery uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to give maximum power to a load. Photovoltaic electricity is uncontrollable because its output varies with the outside and cell temperature. PEMFC should be added to the hybrid system to overcome its limitations. The output of the hybrid source can be controlled by adjusting the output power of the frequency converter. As a result, it is necessary to set a reference value for the output of the hybrid source. In Feeder-Flow Control (FFC) mode, the feeder flow is controlled to remain constant, the hybrid source takes on additional load, and as a result, the feeder reference power needs to be understood. This method reduces load shedding and boosts electricity under high loads. Under light load, the hybrid power supply switches to UPC mode. When the load requirement is near the border of the mode change, UPC or FFC mode is used. Hysteresis eliminates power reference fluctuations. The proposed operation strategy increases system performance, system stability, and mode transitions by consistently operating the PV array at maximum output power and the Photovoltaic–Fuel Cell (PVFC) within its highefficiency range.
