So any fault in the power transformer may lead to the interruption of power supply and accordingly the financial losses will also be great. So it is important to detect the incipient faults of transformer as early as possible. Among the existing methods for identifying the incipient faults, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is the most popular and successful method. Any kind of fault inside transformer gives rise to overheating and will produce characteristics amount of gases in transformer oil. In this paper classical methods of DGA such as Key Gas Method, Rogers Ratio Method and Duval Triangle Method are reviewed first and the need to integrate with the artificial intelligence (AI) methods for improving the performance of diagnosis is justified. Reported work presents a new and efficient artificial intelligence technique that is support vector machine (SVM) for transformer fault diagnosis using dissolved gas analysis. The proposed method i.e. Support Vector Machine is a classification tool based on statistical learning theory. Here 3 types of multiclass SVM method that is One - against-One, One-against-All and binary decision tree have been used for the fault diagnosis. Each SVM method has been trained and tested with many practical fault data of power transformers.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117000912","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}

Electrical energy is the prime mover of economic growth and vital to the sustenance of a modern economy. Future economic growth crucially depends on the long term availability of electrical energy from natural resources. The attention focused on luxurious means of comfort and the trend going to electrical goods for maximum application are giving rise to heavy growth in demand for electrical energy. To reduce gap between the demand and supply, all types of available natural resources are being used. Even then the gap is continuously increasing due to ever increase in utilization of electrical energy. Hence, the only option left with us is to use available electrical energy efficiently and effectively by adopting energy conservation methods. In this paper a fuzzy controlled intelligent system is proposed to conserve the electrical energy in case of water cooler, aiming to minimize the energy consumption after the temperature of water reaches a certain predefined satisfaction level, thus maintains the perfect cooling of water and to avoid excess cooling. This paper shows the application of fuzzy logic techniques on water cooler to maintain temperature of water as per consumer requirements based on seasons.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131070570","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 T-source inverter has an ability to perform DC to AC conversion and buck boost operation in a single stage. Compared to Z-source inverter the number of passive elements are reduced in T-network. The traditional voltage and current source inverters cannot provide such feature. Normally, the proportional integral (PI) control is commonly used in the stationary reference frame for current controlled inverters. However, it has two main drawbacks: inability to track a sinusoidal reference without steady state error and poor disturbance rejection capability. These problems are overcome by using proportional resonant (PR) controller. The performance analysis of T-source inverter is carried out with PI and PR controller. A simulation of Single phase T-source inverter is done using MATLAB/ Simulink.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114259378","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}

Therefore, there is an increasing demand for efficient energy control in Heat Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems. An effective method for controlling the heat energy in a multiple room building is the multizone approach, where each room is treated as a single zone and temperature control is applied separately for each zone. In the proposed technique, the multizone approach is adopted along with a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) of temperature nodes, where each node covers a single zone and communicates its sensed values to adjacent nodes. Each node is responsible for the tuning of a heating source so that a preset zone temperature value is maintained. Moreover, each node utilizes a simple lumped capacity model for its controlling zone and based on the received neighbor temperature values detects possible divergences from the anticipated energy consumption. Simulation results using a simple weather temperature model and Proportional Integral (PI) controllers verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114394668","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}

To reduce the circuit complexity, this paper proposes a remedial measure to identify the peak power operating point from the Low cost Photometric Sensor. The measured photometric quantity is to be converted into a radiometric quantity in terms of the irradiance. Hence the mathematical model is developed to estimate Voc through photometric measurement. Now the constant voltage method can be used to determine the Maximum Power Point from 0.76 percentage of Voc. The developed mathematical model endorses to find MPPT without disconnecting the PV panel in the real time PV power generation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through experiments under various weather conditions.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115605795","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 monitoring of harmonic and interharmonic distortion is an essential issue for delivering high quality power. The proposed harmonic and interharmonic estimation algorithm employs a filter bank and multirate signal processing. An enhanced phase-locked loop is used to estimate the parameters of the harmonics. The filter bank consists of a set of bandpass filters. The filters extract each of the harmonic and interharmoniccomponents. Further, the noise level of the components is also reduced. The extracted components are downsampled. In the last stage, the enhanced phase-locked loop estimates the amplitude, phase and frequency of the decomposed signal. The bandpass filters are centered at the estimated frequency.
