Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is very popular due to its flexibility, use of low rating devices, low harmonic distortion, and high efficiency. Despite these advantages, MMC faces challenges of controlling its parameters especially inner current and capacitor voltages. This paper presents the control of the inner current of MMC using Sliding Mode Controller (SMC). The switching function of SMC is based on 2nd order super twisting algorithm. The Proposed super twisting algorithm is proved to be efficient in controlling the inner current. The 2nd order harmonic is effectively suppressed, and the inner current is fully converged to its reference value. Moreover, the continuous nature of the super twisting algorithm solves the chattering issue. The implementation of MMC and its control is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink.

In the current era of technological advancements and rising human-machine interaction, urged the vital importance of human factors and ergonomics in an industrial collaborative environment. These ergonomic needs have made it essential to analyze the industrial cognitive processes like mental workload (MWL), stress and vigilance in the ecological environment. Conventionally Electroencephalography (EEG) was used for assessment of brain electrical activity but recently functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) has immerged as a better substitute for acquiring brain signals with fewer protocols and enhanced spatial resolution. Over the period of time Machine learning algorithms (LDA, k-NN, ANN) are used to classify MWL and affiliated brain functions. Now the trend of employing Deep learning techniques is gaining popularity. In this study, we analyzed and classified MWL states using Machine learning (SVM) and Deep learning (CNN) algorithms. The classification accuracies achieved with Deep learning (CNN) outperformed the accuracies achieved with Machine learning algorithms. The best accuracies were achieved using CNN that are in the range of 80-87%. Finally, a comparison is drawn between Machine learning and Deep learning algorithms for better classification and discrimination of cognitive loads.

Industrialization plays major role in economic development and it is growing very rapidly to fulfil the requirements of resident by increasing production. However, creating financial advantages is no longer the sole goal of industrial growth in the present worldwide sustainable industrial development trend due to the depletion of ozone layer, eco system destruction and changed weather phenomena severely. Nowadays, increasing importance is given on the idea of compatible and continuous economic, ecological and social growth, and the use of eco-efficiency to assess the relationship among the environment influence and economic cost and Eco-industrial Park (EIP) is the solution of dropping environmental problems and promoting financial interests through the interchange of products and energy between sectors for mutual benefit. Thus, the main purpose of this research is to model an Eco-Industrial park in Sindh region in order to find the feasibility as well as cost savings benefits. To achieve this firstly, the literature review and field survey is carried out to identify the potential industries, which are suitable for establishing an Eco - Industrial park. Secondly, the data of wastes/by-products of these industries are determined, after that the model is prepared to show the material flow between the waste producing and utilizing industries. Finally, the possible utilization of these wastes/byproducts is worked out. It is estimated that the coal power plant produces 2273 tons of fly-ash, 239.9 tons of bottom ash and 300 tons of gypsum every day. Thus, utilizing these wastes/byproducts will save around Rs. 2.27 million daily.

Pakistan is a big country with diverse nature of land ranging from mountain, deserts to plain lands. There are eleven distribution companies to cover electrical power distribution over 100Million consumers. The field work of electrical distribution is sometimes life threating and tough. The consumers have their first interaction with distribution staff. A satisfied distribution staff led towards satisfied customer. The main objective of this research work is to look for the influence of various reward types on several variables of a company’s outcomes. These include worker outcomes and performance, like satisfaction from their jobs and turnover intention. Only remunerations alone do not encourage the workers’ attitudes and responses but their approach towards the remunerations regarding the fulfillment of their outcomes from the persuaded job. Employees manage their attitudes or responses, which might be positive or negative, depending on their fulfilment of remunerations. In the context of equity theory, if a worker thinks the outcome of his/her input to output percentage lacks in contrast to his/her colleagues, it might develop a sense of non-fulfilment and hence might lose their output efficacy.

Energy shortage in Pakistan from last ten-years encourages small and big industries to construct their own Power-plant. These plants range from 1MW to 20MW. The power plant has different departments to handle engineering, maintenance, operation and related issues. Human resource (HR) department has the presence to efficiently handle man-power. This academic work takes a look at how human resource (HR) practices fix people working in power plants and decrease employee embeddedness. Indeed, we inquired into the revolving repercussion of the organizational appointment embedded in an association between human resource (HR), and a member of staff revenue objective. The assumptions are experimented via data from 200 respondents from newly constructed power plants in Pakistan. As forecasted, performance appraisal and organizational rewards decreased turnover intentions. Employee development activities increased employees’ perceptions with greater turnover intentions. The results suggest that organizations hoping to use HR practices to deter turnover may experience the greatest success by using performance management and reward systems to increase perceptions of organizational fit.

The unpredictable and stochastic speed of the wind makes the entire wind energy conversion system (WECS) highly nonlinear. In such situations, the controller aim is to maximize the extracted power (MP). At first stage, the dynamic model of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is developed and then the model is converted to Bronwsky form. Consequently, the overall system is subdivided into two subsystems i.e., a second order visible dynamic system and a first order internal dynamic system. The internal dynamics are proved stable i.e., the system under study is minimum phase. Now, the main task is that the output of the visible dynamic system should track a varying profile of the wind speed. This paper presents the nonlinear backstepping based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to ensure the MP extraction from variable-speed (fixed pitch) WECS. MATLAB/Simulink tool is used for testing the proposed controller under variable wind speed profile. The simulation results validate the robustness of the proposed control scheme. Furthermore, backstepping is compared with feedback linearization (FL) control that clearly outshines our proposed strategy.

The consumption of energy in buildings has risen abruptly over the last decades. Due to less energy-efficient buildings, most of the energy is being thrown in our surroundings thus making an adverse effect on our environment. In this paper, heating and cooling loads of private or non-commercial buildings are covered. By implementing the proposed technique, which is a blend of cluster analysis and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), evaluation and prediction are performed. The estimation of heating and cooling loads of private or non-commercial buildings are performed using eight input variables in the ANN-based model. The details of variables are as follows, a relative surface area, total height, compactness, roof area, glazing area distribution, orientation, glazing area, and wall area. K-means clustering methodology is then used to cluster buildings on the basis of output variables. Stand on simulated literature data, evaluation of 768 different private or non-commercial buildings is done using the above-suggested method. Research results depicted that depending upon input variables, the above-suggested approach can efficiently evaluate heating and cooling load that is very much close to real test results.

Quadruped animation is a ever-growing field having enormous complex parameters of motion due to vide range of gait patterns. In this paper we discuss the problem of generating quadruped motion automatically by first predicting and generating footprints of quadruped motion based on number of steps and stride length and stride height. The planning and prediction algorithms is able to generate autonomous motion, which dynamically generates new footprints and associated new gait motions. The purposed model is using procedural programming technique to calculate the foot placement values for quadruped based on center of mass and trajectory optimization.

The purposed model is using procedural programming technique to calculate the foot placement values for quadruped based on center of mass and trajectory optimization.","PeriodicalId":431051,"journal":{"name":"2020 3rd International Conference on Computing, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies (iCoMET)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126095248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
