Power quality is one of major concerns in the present era. It has become important, especially, with the introduction of sophisticated devices, whose performance is very sensitive to the quality of power supply. A dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) based on photovoltaic (PV) generation/battery units is proposed to improve voltage quality in a micro-grid. The restorer is connected with the grid by a rectifier, which is in series with the point of common coupling (PCC). Power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure of end use equipments. One of the major problems dealt here is the voltage sag. To solve this problem, custom power devices are used. One of those devices is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks. Its appeal includes lower cost, smaller size, and its fast dynamic response to the disturbance. This paper introduces power quality problems and overview of Dynamic Voltage Restorer so that young electrical engineers come to know about such a modern custom power device for power quality improvement in future era.

Renewable power plant has more advantageous over conventional power plant. Specifically, Solar energy is available everywhere, free of cost but challenge is to extract maximum power from the available energy. Solar cell is a non-linear source of electrical energy, hence various algorithms like Perturb & Observe, Incremental Conductance etc. are implemented using DC-DC converter to extract maximum power from it. These algorithms create oscillations in output. The proposed algorithm takes feedback of irradiance of sunlight and temperature to avoid oscillations. Internal resistance of the solar panel is depends on factors like temperature, irradiance etc. At a particular instant, internal resistance of solar panel is calculated by sensing irradiance and temperature values from sensor. On that operating condition, all dependent parameters of solar panel are calculated and internal resistance of solar panel is calculated. DC-DC converter transfers the load resistance to its input depending upon its duty cycle. The proposed control strategy will set the duty cycle of converter so as to match transferred load resistance with internal resistance of solar panel. Hence by the maximum power transfer theorem, maximum power will extracts from the solar panel when transferred load resistance is equal to the internal resistance. This condition is achieved by this proposed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Control System is continuously monitoring irradiance and temperature, if there is change in it then only it will try to track MPPT. This paper discusses about the design, simulation and practical implementation of MPPT algorithm using DC-DC Converter.

Strict environmental regulations and continuously increasing electricity demand have resulted in interest for the utilization of renewable energy sources. This paper investigates the feasibility of a stand-alone hybrid energy system to meet out electric load requirements of JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur. In order to maintain continuity of electricity supply, a single energy source is not a good option. So, we have considered a hybrid system having wind turbines, solar PV system, and diesel generator with the integration of battery bank. Load scenarios for both summer and winter season have been considered for modeling of proposed hybrid energy system. Techno-economic analysis for proposed system model has been performed using HOMER software. Variation in load for a month and a year are considered as 10% and 20% respectively. The cost of energy is coming out to be 0.462 $/kWhr, which is quite comparable with contemporary hybrid renewable energy technologies. As university has two diesel generators of 600 KVA and 250 KVA, but HOMER software suggested 250 KVA generators only, which will also help to reduce emission level significantly.

This paper presents the comparative analysis between the speed control of electronically commuted Brushless DC motor (BLDC) using conventional controllers like Proportional Integrative (PI) controllers, Simple Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and Hybrid Fuzzy - PI controller with the help of MATLAB / SIMULINK. The conventional PI controllers are the most useful controller in industries until now. But it gives the poor performance under various operating conditions and for non-linear mode as compared to FL controller. The simples FLC is easy to develop but it sometimes cannot use in motor application and also needs automatic tuning. It takes more time and memory space while running on real time application. So to overcome this problem, Hybrid Fuzzy - PI controller is proposed. In the proposed system Fuzzy controller is tuned with conventional PI controller by using only 21 Mamdani linguistic rules. The proposed system improve the performance of motor and other operating condition such as rise time, settling time, percentage of overshoot and stability phenomenon etc. The response of the system can be observed from the above controllers with the help of MATLAB / SIMULINK.

The Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) is a stage of retinopathy where blood vessels proliferate i.e. grows. The indication of PDR is neovascularization, the growth of abnormal new vessels. Here, first vessel segmentation is done by converting image into binary image. So that vessel and non-vessel part is seperated. By using morphological operation and structuring element as line, straight vessels are detected and removed. So remaining part is new vessels. These morphological operations are taken for multiple orientations like 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°. Straight vessels were removed to distinguish new vessels from normal vasculature. Morphological thinning is used to thin only new vessels. Feature extraction is done by windowing image into 50 by 50 in order to calculate number of vessel pixels in every window. If numbers of vessel pixels are greater than threshold value then PDR is detected.

Probability distributions are used to represent uncertainty. One area of application of probability distribution is optimization under uncertainty more specifically known as Stochastic Integer Programming. Distributions with large number of scenarios increase computational complexity. Fast Forward Selection scenario (FFS) reduction algorithm provides a way to approximate the probability distribution. The paper applies FFS to a gaussian distribution and estimates the original distribution with lower number of scenarios while maintaining the overall variation of probability curve similar to the original curve. New probability density of the approximated distribution is close to the original distribution.

A critical issue in wireless sensor networks is to extend the network lifetime by preserving the energy of sensor nodes. A sensor node consumes most of its energy during the data transfer phase. The energy consumed for transmission of data is a thousand times higher than sensing and processing the same amount of data. Data aggregation is a promising technique that is used for minimizing the amount of data transfer in a sensor network, which helps in reducing the energy consumption. The existing data aggregation protocols have focused on objectives like minimizing the energy consumption, maximizing the lifetime of the network and reducing the end to end delay. However, these techniques do not consider duty cycling approach to lower energy consumption. In this paper, we propose an Energy Aware Chain Oriented Sensor Network protocol (EA-COSEN). The proposed protocol is an extension of existing COSEN [1] protocol and it uses duty cycling to save the energy of the sensor nodes. Our simulation results confirm that there is 2% to 3% improvement in throughput, residual energy and delay.

A Cascode differential LNA using 130nm CMOS process is proposed. The linearity enhancement is achieved by, restrained generation of 3rd order Harmonic component. To cancel the 3rd Harmonic component, a RC feedback from Drain node of common-gate to the Source node of common-gate transistor is used. To achieve low Noise Figure, Cascode stage transistors are used. This technique is verified by comparing the design of Classical LNA and the Proposed LNA. The LNA achieves Noise Figure 2.435dB, Input-referred P1dB -4.18dBm and Gain 19dB. From these measured result the Proposed LNA successfully proves that it has minimum Noise Figure and is linear.

This work suggests the method to improve the performance of interacting coupled tank system by the combinational control of feedback and feed forward simultaneously. This control system is considered to maintain the level of the second tank at some predefined value by using feed forward and feedback combinational scheme. Though conventional proportional integral- derivative (PID) controller is most capable controller used in process industries to regulate the process variables, it has some limitations which can be overcome by using this strategy. Here, the effect of disturbance on the performance of the system is considered. According to these disturbances, we implemented a feed forward controller to compensate the disturbances with its effect on the performance of the system. Thus, the comparison between feedback and feedback feed forward implementation for the system is done using MATLAB simulink and experimentation is carried out.
