The efficient operation of high performing Variable Speed Drives (VSD) requires rotor angle information. Sensorless methods have become very fascinating for industrial users, as these inhibit several advantages over sensor based methods. In this paper, a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) has been implemented for speed estimation of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Drive and the performance has been analyzed for various speed and load torque values. The test results demonstrate that the MRAS based PMSM has a good speed tracking capability, and accuracy of drive.

The smart grid paradigm enables improved participation of customers in operational aspects of power system. The optimal charge-discharge operation of electric vehicles (EV) is one of the means for improvising such customer participation. Therefore, this paper presents a hybrid meta heuristic approach using particle swarm optimization and gravitational search algorithm for optimal charge-discharge event management of EVs in smart grid. The same is carried out in conjunction with the unit commitment procedure of power system operation. The UC problem belongs to the class of binary optimization problems where the search space is constricted to binary digits. For this, the real valued optimization variables and process is mapped to binary version using tangent hyperbolic transformation. The effectiveness of BHPSO-GSA is examined through extensive numerical experiments on various scenarios. The simulation results are presented, discussed and compared to other existing approaches to demonstrate the superiority of proposed approach in solving UC problem with and without EV in smart grid.

Due to a number of benefits, share of renewable energy based generation is increasing rapidly. However, intermittent behavior of renewable energy is challenging to keep the frequency stable; specially in isolated microgrids. Deploying battery energy storage system (BESS) in microgrid could be helpful to lessen such frequency excursion problems. This paper investigates the effect of various placement strategies of BESS in an isolated renewable integrated microgrid. BESS has been placed in centralized as well as in distributed manner throughout the test microgrid. Results show that, in comparison to centralized placement, distributed placement of BESS offers better frequency response with events such as large load connection.

Partial Discharges (PDs) are reported as the main reason for failure of High Voltage (HV) power apparatus leading to sudden failure of entire electrical system, such irreversible discharges takes place in the area of inhomogenities due to uneven charge distribution on dielectric medium. Therefore it becomes essential to monitor the PD activities in HV power apparatus before it completely damage the whole system. Many techniques are already proposed and applied to identify the PD activity along with its severity and localization in HV power apparatus with their advantages and disadvantages. One of the useful methods is radio frequency (RF) method using ultra high frequency (UHF) sensor. In recent trend of research it is challenging to find the location of different PD sources in a complex network system. In this paper the authors explain and experimentally prove the localization of two PD sources using UHF sensors invasively with more accuracy. Delay calculation of the recorded signal pulses using multiple sensors is the idea behind the study.

This paper presents modelling and control study of a bidirectional non-isolated interleaved DC- DC converter with high voltage gain. The nonisolated converter under study combines the advantages of switched capacitors and coupled inductors. Series connected switched capacitors with inductor cells helped to achieve high conversion ratio and reduced voltage stress on power components. An average current mode control is used to control output current and input current of non-isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter at both stages boost converter as well as buck converter. A state space modeling and an average current mode control analysis at the boost stage are given in details in this paper. Simulation results are based on some experimental data of non-isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter of high power application.

The Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) has become operational recently. IRNSS S-band signals are more vulnerable to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) as the S-band spectrum is congested with several other signals including the signals operating in the license free band. It operates in L5 and Sl frequencies. The performance of IRNSS receivers meant for non-precision applications can be enhanced by suppressing Sl signals. In view of this, an aluminium reflector is designed and developed to selectively suppress Sl signals. The results are encouraging.

Eye vision testing has become a common healthcare issue in this modern era. However, such checkup from an expert can be time consuming and tedious for people especially in the developing countries with scarce healthcare facilities. So a software based eye-vision testing system is presented here which is inexpensive and mobile. It can be used as an initial screening tool for those with eyesight problems. A speech recognition based program is proposed here, where a predetermined distance between the display and the user’s eye is initialized. Then letters are displayed sequentially in a random order and descending size until a mismatch occurs between the utterance of the user and actual letter displayed. At this stage, the size of the letter is taken as eye limit and a pre-trained mathematical model is used to provide the eye lens power as output for adjustment. Experimental results show satisfactory accuracy. Such a solution could have significant impact to the lives of people from various underprivileged communities with by providing them a useful and easy means of regular preliminary screening of their eyesight.

This paper presents the impact of organic semiconductor (OSC) thickness variation from 200nm to 100nm using atlas 2-D device simulator. Its effect on various parameters such as mobility, threshold voltage and subs threshold slope, drain current is analyzed. It is concluded from the results that as the thickness of OSC is varied the performance of dual gate organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) is reduced. It is because of the accumulation of charges in the semiconductor-oxide interface is decreased. Subsequently, effect of channel length is investigated and found that while the channel length is reduced; the resistance of the channel is increased which reduces the drain current. Effect of these changes on the morphology of the device is deeply analyzed. Thus, it is attained from the analysis that increase in the threshold voltage is a negative aspect of the device. Afterwards, to analyze the effect of channel length (L) on performance of device, the L is varied in both side, upper and lower from 25μm to 50μm & 25μm to 5μm with a step size of 10. The significant change in current is observed, whereas very slight change is explored in other parameters, therefore, lower dimension device can be fabricated for further compact circuit application.

The unit commitment operation in power systems is a complex, non-linear, constrained optimization problem. The commitment and de-commitment decision presents a binary problem which needs discrete/binary optimization approaches. This paper presents a binary bat search algorithm (BBSA) to solve unit commitment (UC) problem. The bat search algorithm belongs to a meta heuristic class of optimization approaches inspired by natural echolocation behavior of bats. In order to solve binary UC problem, the real valued bat search process is mapped to binary search space using sigmoidal transformation function. The BBSA is then applied to test system with 10 thermal units. The effectiveness of the BBSA is verified against system dimension using test systems upto 100 units. Extensive numerical experiments are performed to test the effectiveness of BBSA and statistical analysis of simulation results are presented. The simulation results are presented, discussed and compared to various existing classical and heuristic approaches. The same demonstrate the superior performance of BBSA approach in solving UC problem.
