Even though the existing vehicle design is robust in the operating environment, but the emission control is minimal owing to the use of inefficient internal combustion engines. The best way to revamp the existing auto rickshaw is to develop a solar assisted auto rickshaw with efficient electric drive train to minimize the emissions at the tail pipe. This paper presents the development of solar assisted three wheeler auto rickshaw and also to implement an energy management strategy suitable for Indian city-driving pattern and driving requirements setup. The proposed auto rickshaw is modeled in Simulink software, fabricated and tested at different traffic conditions. From the test results it is concluded that the fabricated solar assisted auto rickshaw mimic the existing conventional auto rickshaw.","PeriodicalId":239682,"journal":{"name":"Modelling, Measurement and Control A","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129571299","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}

For this purpose, firstly, the push-pull fly-back three-phase DC-DC convertor is investigated. This structure can operate in the entire range of D variations. The high impedance generated by coupler loopholes prevents trans-saturation. Finally, the simulation results show the accuracy of the converter's performance in two different values for the reference voltage.","PeriodicalId":239682,"journal":{"name":"Modelling, Measurement and Control A","volume":"3 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":"124016378","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 faults like change in flow rate and the change in agitator speed have been injected into the system individually. As a result, there is a change in the output of CSTR i.e. titration end point. For analysing the injected faults, the Euclidean distance classifier has been employed. Through the Euclidean distance classifier, the nature and magnitude of faults can be visualized. Moreover, while varying the speed of agitators, it has been observed that fault becomes prominent at high speed of each of the agitators. This correlates with the Euclidean distance results in which it is observed that in case the speed of agitators is high, the Euclidean distance is of a high value. This distance has been calculated for the various single faults, in which only a single parameter has been varied at a time. The findings of this research can be helpful for guiding the process operator regarding the severity of the faults.","PeriodicalId":239682,"journal":{"name":"Modelling, Measurement and Control A","volume":"691 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":"115117734","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}

Though, the responsibility of PQ deterioration is shared by both utility and its consumers; the most influencing factor to the poor PQ is the consumer’s load. The estimation of individual consumers’ responsibility is a herculean task for the utilities. In this paper, a technique based on S-transform is proposed for the identification of the load responsible for specific type of PQ disturbance and the estimation of its responsibility in causing PQ deterioration at the point of common coupling (PCC). The main objective of this work is to fill the void in the PQ study by including utility’s perspective. This paper presents a simple approach to identify the share of consumer’s load that causes the PQ deterioration at the PCC. The proposed method is validated by PCC signals acquired by both MATLAB simulations and by using laboratory experimental setup.","PeriodicalId":239682,"journal":{"name":"Modelling, Measurement and Control A","volume":"1 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":"115547611","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}
