Abstract

Today, India is in the developing stage and the requirement of electrical load demand is increases day by day, to meet these load demand existing available resources have some limitation to fulfill these demand. So, solar energy plays a major role in the generation of electricity, as it is a clean, inexhaustible and environment friendly resource compared to all renewable energy sources. This paper gives idea about how to select the solar power plant for the electrical load demand and also provided analysis of 5 kW grid connected roof top solar plant. The grid-connected system was synchronized with the commercial grid with the help of net meter for electricity transfer under no load condition. The monthly energy generation by proposed grid connected roof top solar power plant is calculated.

Abstract

Presently, induction motor adjustable speed drives are being popular in the industrial applications and replacing existing techniques such as Direct Current (DC) motors and Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR) bridges. In this paper, the induction motor's stator inter-turn fault has been diagnosed by advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technique. The Wavelet Transform (WT) algorithm is applied for stator winding fault diagnosis purpose in the transitory period. The wavelet transform's approximation signal is chosen for stator inter-turn fault diagnosis purpose for variable load effectively. The obtained results by WT technique demonstrated that the early fault detection is possible and prevented the machine before reach in the disastrous conditions. Therefore, millions of dollars may be saved for industries and unexpected shutdown.

Abstract

Water is the evidence for all the living organisms on Earth. The scarcity of water is one of the main problems faced by the world nowadays. Agriculture remains the sector which contributes the highest to India's GD. The objective or aim of this work is to regulate water use in irrigating processes and also to improve the quality of the crop in agriculture. Environmental Monitoring Systems with Sensors systems have dramatically improved to peak over the years. This work may become a huge rated product while the importance of water regulation is understood. The purpose of this paper is to present a project called “Smart Irrigation Integrated with IoT” which is capable of monitoring agricultural conditions in a pre-programmed manner. This sensor system will monitor the relevant environmental data like soil moisture, in terms of percentage. The data from, the sensors will be used for the control either automatic or manual control as well as upgrading the irrigation system. This model utilizes the real run-time data from the moisture sensor to minimize the use of water in the agricultural fields. Simultaneously all the sensor values will be updated in the IoT through the GSM module in the kit, this helps us to track the system which we have designed through Android interface and this process also helps to improve the agricultural productions. The farmer analyses the sensor data in the server about the field condition anytime, anywhere and controls the flow of water hence by reducing the manpower and time.

Abstract

In this study, a fault detection technique and faulty phase identification technique using Hilbert Huang transform (HHT) are presented for single line to ground boundary faults in six phase transmission line. Hilbert Huang transform is used for processing of the six phase fault current signals which are recorded by the transducers located at bus-1 of the six phase transmission line. The possibility of the HHT-based fault detection technique is tested under the variation of fault type, fault location, fault inception time, fault and ground resistances.

Abstract

This study employs an advanced meta-heuristic optimization technique called Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) to adjust a novel Incremental Conductance (IC) based maximum power point tracking controllers for one section of a practical photovoltaic (PV) station with an overall capacity of 10 MW. Different scenarios of solar irradiance, temperature variation, and load fluctuations were used to check the feasibility of the proposed optimizer. The simulation analysis of Matlab™/Simulink results show that dynamic behavior enhancement of the overall PV system can be increased via PI/FOPI controllers tuned with in a shorter time.
