PV solar is widely establishing technology which is considered as a promising source to replace the conventional technologies. But it has limited usage due to its limitations such as low efficiency, invariable nature etc. The efficiency of PV array is affected by one such factor that is called as partial shading condition. This partial shading condition is a state in which all the PV panels do not receive uniform irradiation and this leads to complex P-V characteristics. In such characteristics, there is only one global power peak and other are local power peaks. The presence of multiple peaks in partial shading condition on P-V curve make the conventional MPPT techniques such as Perturb and Observe, Incremental conductance etc ineffective. Thus, an improved global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) technique is proposed which is used for detecting the global peak. This uses the hill climbing technique in modified form. This proposed technique will detect the global peak and thus will deliver maximum possible output during partial shading condition.

This research work intends to elucidate Traveling Salesman Problem, a variant of Symmetric Hamiltonian Cycle Problems more capably. A different mutation operator called m-mutation operator for genetic algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. The efficiency of proposed mutation operator is compared with existing mutation operators by retaining the same selection, crossover and fitness function. The mutation operator is tested with data from TSPLIB dataset. The intercity distance table of cities was input to the coded C program which implemented the proposed mutation operator. The same dataset was used to compare the performance of proposed mutation operator with other existing mutation operators. The results of the experiment confirm that proposed mutation operator searches better solutions quicker compared to other mutation operators.

This paper analyzes the application of Bifurcation techniques in the investigation of voltage stability of a dynamic power system. Voltage stability analysis of a power system is necessary during the planning and operating stages of the power system. In the modern scenario where the power system is almost operated near to the stability margin, analysis of the voltage stability is obligatory. Bifurcation theory which holds good for voltage stability analysis has been applied to the IEEE 14 test bus system with dynamic components. The Continuation Power Flow (CPF) and Eigen value analysis was carried out. Initial studies showcase the existence of Saddle Node Bifurcation (SNB) and Hops bifurcation in the test case system. In order to improve the stability of the system Static Var Compensator (SVC) was introduced in the test bus system and the results shows a significant improvement in the voltage stability of the power system.

The increase in addition of new wind generation to the grid have several issues related to grid stability and security. The LVRT capability of wind turbine is one of the major concerns during the grid fault and many countries tail different LVRT requirements of grid codes to ensure the proper operation of wind turbine throughout the fault condition without tripping it from the grid. Consequently, the high penetration of DER to the grid requires an optional method for controlling active and reactive power injection during the normal operation condition and grid fault. This paper discusses about two significant technical solution for LVRT during grid connected mode and seamless transfer during islanding and stabilisation after islanding. The objective of this paper is to comprehend these challenges in implementation of LVRT capability in India in order to come up with appropriate solutions. Simulation results on a 2.3-MW EESG-based WECS using DIgSILENT/Power Factory environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LVRT scheme under both balanced and unbalanced grid voltage sags.

The proposed paper presents a new optimization technique for LFC in a 4-Area interconnected system when compared to conventional method of optimization technique. The advantage of proposed controlling technique is that it is quicker than the regular conventional control technique and can monitor the nonlinearities simultaneously. It is proved that the response of GWO (Grey Wolf Optimization) based controller is quicker than the conventional controllers, thereby reducing the oscillations. The resultant optimized method improves the dynamic response of a four area inter-connected hybrid system. The entire approach of comparing GWO and the conventional based controller was carried through MATLAB/SIMULINK software. This proposed controller gives better results and even faster than the conventional controller.

There are large numbers of toll gates in the National Highways across the country. Most of the people find it very difficult to wait in a long queue because of manually operating toll gate system. This causes waste of time and fuel. This project provides a great solution to all these problems. Most recently, Li-Fi is a new emerging technology in the trend. Here, the concept of Li-Fi is used to eliminate this queue. In this project, the data transmission and reception is done by pic microcontroller. The data which is received by the Li-fi receiver is sent to the monitor for checking account balance. The account detail is showed in the LCD display. Here the Dc motor is used to drive the barrier. As we use the concept of Li-Fi, high speed data transfer is achieved. So that the technology used in this project eliminates the queue in the toll gates and helps the people to reach their destination on time.

Globally, there has been a paradigm shift in the automotive industry. This paper deals with the very basic issue of measuring and estimating the future energy consumption by electric vehicle (EV) in India. So, first the future analysis is made to know the electric vehicle fleet and then the future energy consumption per year is estimated for 2030 considering different scenarios of 20%, 30% and 100% electrification of vehicles, as these targets are to be achieved by the government of India. Data of automobile production has been collected from the Society of Indian Automobiles Manufacturer (SIAM) and with that trend of production the future vehicles in 2030 has been estimated. For the different categories of automobiles the battery specifications of EV by different manufacturers has been collected and the average of those is taken for the analysis. Further, the average distance driven by each vehicle is assumed and for that the energy consumption annually has been estimated. This paper also depicts the cost saving analysis which elaborates the difference in cost when the conventional vehicles are used and when EV are used. As we know that the prices of fuel are exorbitantly rising which is a huge concern for the economy of the country. This analysis will estimate that the total cost saved if100% electrification of vehicles takes place which will undeniably a colossal boost to the economy of the country.

Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMLI) is the most popular topology for high power industrial applications. There are total 4m number of power electronic switches in a CHBMLI having m numbers of modules (m$gt 1)$. Because of higher number of switches; the possibility of faults in switches is more. A fault-tolerant structure is proposed for CHBMLI having 3 modules. If any 1 out of 3 modules gets faulty; the remaining 2 healthy modules will continue delivering output voltage with the same amplitude and the same voltage level as in case of normal operation having all the 3 modules are healthy. In this way, the proposed fault-tolerant structure of CHBMLI improves the system reliability by preventing the breakdown of the whole system even if 1 out of 3 modules gets faulty.

Biodiesel is a biodegradable, combustible fuel made from vegetable oil and/or animal fats by the process of basic-catalyzed trans-esterification of oils. The main aim of our project is to develop a portable system which is fully automated by means of microcontroller and various sensors to produce Biodiesel from vegetable oil. The system will do whole process automatically once initiated. This will reduce the chances of any human errors in chemical reaction and also reduce human efforts. In India vegetable oil is wasted in huge quantity in hotels or by household means or in the temples based on the religious beliefs. So our system will convert the waste vegetable oil into the biodiesel by the process of trans-esterification. The main difference between conventional method of production of biodiesel and our system is that our system is fully automated and portable enough to carry from one place to other very easily. The whole process from mixing the chemicals to providing the necessary reaction conditions [like particular temperature and stirring for the chemical reaction all the process is done by sensors and actuators and all the process is controlled by means of the central controlling unit i.e. microcontroller. Once the system is activated it will stop after the reaction is completed i.e. the reactants are exhausted. Our system can be used at small scale for house hold purpose also as it will not require any skills to operate our system. The system we are proposing is much cost efficient and in the ambit of almost every earning fellow. The chemicals we are using are easily available and not so much costly.
