A novel mamdani fuzzy inference system (FIS) that grades the quality of solution for a given set of control parameters has been used as its fitness function. The FIS evaluation function has been designed using expert opinion from researchers at Murugappa Chettiar Research Centre, India. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a virtual hydroponic nutrient control system with a solution monitoring unit was designed using Labview. The designed algorithm demonstrated better convergence efficiency and resource utilization compared to conventional error function based nutrient solution control systems.","PeriodicalId":176197,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computation of Power, Energy, Information and Communication (ICCPEIC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114602493","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}

The advantage of this method is that it does not need a PWM modulator and only two PI gains are used. The PI gains are calculated through Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion and generalized root loci. To make a comparison, initially the converter is controlled by hysteresis method and subsequently with a fourth and second order Sliding Mode Control before incorporating PI and SMC. The coefficients for SMC have been obtained. The PI and SMC control for SEPIC is then implemented using MATLAB and the results are presented.","PeriodicalId":176197,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computation of Power, Energy, Information and Communication (ICCPEIC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114684919","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}

Harmonics is such an issue and its mitigation must be looked into with utmost concern. For this, passive filters are a simple, robust and cost effective choice. The paper presents the design of passive harmonic filters to mitigate the source side harmonics of a single phase AC - PV hybrid system which feeds a dual converter. The results obtained with and without filters are analyzed and it is found that after the installation of filters there is a reduction in current harmonics which is evident by the reduction in THD of the source current waveform.","PeriodicalId":176197,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computation of Power, Energy, Information and Communication (ICCPEIC)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122490391","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}

Vehicle condition due to parts condition also influences the danger-level during driving. The proposed system recognizes the danger-level alerts during driving by considering both driving pattern and vehicle condition. The system built using android when paired with the vehicle using Bluetooth or USB port will alert the user through voice alerts by inferring the danger levels arising due to user's driving style and vehicle condition. The live vehicle parameters are fetched from vehicle to android device by using OpenXC framework. The system can be personalized by the user while selecting the alerts of his choice and can also set the threshold values corresponding to the alerts. When the vehicle parameter value corresponding to the alerts from OpenXC framework goes beyond or below the threshold value set by the users the danger level alerts are triggered by the system. The system also helps the user to upload the reports to the manufacturer's Cloud Platform. If Car manufactures provides the cloud platform and makes agreement with the user to share the report data, then this will help the manufactures to foresee any major issues from the majority of the users report pattern upfront (Example: using VIN number, they can check the batch) and arrange for callback if the problem arises in many vehicles of the same batch. User will be able to share the real-time performance details during service and also to his friends in Social media, thereby showcasing his driving skills.","PeriodicalId":176197,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computation of Power, Energy, Information and Communication (ICCPEIC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128128847","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}

In the cascade boost family, quadratic boost converter is the best trade-off when circuit complexity and modulator saturation is considered. Sliding mode control being a nonlinear control results in a robust and stable system when applied to switching converters which are inherently variable structured systems. The stability of this system is analysed through Lyapunov's approach. Analysis is done for load regulation, line regulation and step response of the system on Simulink model.

The Efficiency of solar cells is about 23.89% in the laboratory and 13.76%. More than 30% of incident light is reflected back from the surface of single crystalline Silicon (Si) solar cells because of the high refractive index of Silicon material. The initial objective of this project is to minimize the reflection losses in solar cells using an Anti-Reflection coating (ARC). In solar cell applications, a single layer thin film Anti-Reflective coating is often used. But such a Single Layer Anti-Reflective coating (SLARC) and Double layer Anti-Reflective coating reduces reflectivity only in a limited range. Triple Layer Anti reflective coatings (TLARC) are so widely utilized to improve conversion efficiencies and current density of silicon solar cells. Such Triple layer antireflective coating can eliminate the need for a mechanical tracking device for proper optical alignment of the solar cell with respect to incident sunlight.","PeriodicalId":176197,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computation of Power, Energy, Information and Communication (ICCPEIC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126571935","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}
