The robot has the capability to detect humans in near real-time round-the-clock using passive infrared motion sensors and camera. The work cycle of the robot is divided into phases of human detection; tracking; recognition and alert-generation with simultaneous phase of self-protection. On detecting a human; it starts tracking to detect the face using Haar-like features based cascade classifier. Subsequent recognition is done using local binary pattern histograms approach to ascertain if the face matches with the face in database. In case of mismatch; an alert in the form of phone call to the mobile phone is generated. Self-protection ensures collision-free movements and prevent it from being stolen by generating an alert call on detecting its pick up from the ground. The experimental results demonstrate its successful operation.","PeriodicalId":305942,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 1st International Conference on Power Electronics, Intelligent Control and Energy Systems (ICPEICES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114987565","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}

Lead-acid battery is commonly used in high power PV applications due to its low cost and availability in large size. The modeling of PV system and lead-acid battery by using the corresponding equivalent circuits are discussed here. Three independent control loops are proposed to control the standalone PV system; MPPT control loop for extracting maximum power from PV module under different solar irradiation, battery control loop for bidirectional power flow between battery and dc-link through buck-boost converter to keep the input dc voltage constant, and inverter control loop for maintaining good voltage regulation and achieving fast dynamic response under sudden load fluctuations. The stability of the above control loops are verified by using Bode diagram. Finally the proposed method is applied to 2 kW, 110 V, 50 Hz, two-stage single-phase standalone PV system. The simulation and the experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis, effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy.","PeriodicalId":305942,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 1st International Conference on Power Electronics, Intelligent Control and Energy Systems (ICPEICES)","volume":"440 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124730342","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}

Traditional controllers exhibit innate performance deficiencies in the widely varying aerodynamic scenario with substantially elevated control efforts. Therefore nonlinear optimality based control would be vital for the overall system performance. The prime feature of Inverse Optimal Control is that it guarantees asymptotic stability and optimality, globally, with respect to a performance index determined posteriori. The basis of Inverse Optimal control (IOC) rests on the formulation of an appropriate Control Lyapunov Function (CLF), the determination of which is in fact laborious in most cases. However here, the determination of CLF, for a particular class of nonlinear systems, is systematized to some extent. The 6 DOF aircraft dynamics separated into two timescales is considered for simulation study. The slow angular dynamics of the outer loop is controlled via Inverse Optimal Control. A suboptimal Theta-D controller is employed for the control of the fast inner loop. Thus in effect a near optimal control performance is expected of the resultant nonlinear control system. The inherent stability and robustness characteristic of the participating control laws will contribute the same to the overall system. Simulation results verify all the anticipated capabilities in terms of performance, optimality, stability and robustness.","PeriodicalId":305942,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 1st International Conference on Power Electronics, Intelligent Control and Energy Systems (ICPEICES)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124928712","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 placement of PMU is obtained using Integer Linear Programming (ILP). The data obtained from PMU is given as input to a multilayer Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN) and its output gives all the information related to the modes of the system and the mode ranking.

Unlike traditional line sensors which work on black surfaces with a white line or vice versa, this sensor is designed to differentiate white line on any coloured surface. Thus this sensor can be implemented in robotics applications or in industries where different section's floors are assigned with different colours and robot navigates using line following. The system was implemented using light emitting diodes, phototransistor and an onboard microcontroller Arduino Mega 2560 which communicates with any navigation control system using serial communication. Moving average filters are implemented per channel to remove the fluctuations in the readings due to vibration of the sensor during locomotion. It then gives the error feedback or the offset of the white line from the centre, to the system that is corrected using Proportional-Integral-Derivative algorithm. It also takes care of non scaled readings of the line sensors due to ambient light by having separate threshold values for individual sensors making each sensor independent. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the use and need of a line following sensor capable of differentiating any background colours with white line and at different light conditions. Performance metrics were measured and compared to show tradeoffs between cost and performance.","PeriodicalId":305942,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 1st International Conference on Power Electronics, Intelligent Control and Energy Systems (ICPEICES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129556273","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}

It was observed that driving harshness has a great impact on the regeneration efficiency during vehicle deceleration. On the other hand, to reduce the trip time as well as to avoid accident, the deceleration duration needs to be kept short. By realizing these conflicting objectives, in the present work an optimal deceleration is find out for a speed change using a genetic algorithm. The concerned multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP) was solved based on two approaches: considering a constant deceleration, and variable decelerations during braking. Comparative results of both the approaches are presented for a representative speed change in four driving cycles. Results of both approaches in solving the MOOP including under certain constraints, such as a desired comfort journey and maintaining a safe braking distance, suggest that multiple decelerations should be used during planned braking, where as either a constant or multiple deceleration may be taken during braking for high comfort journey and under emergency braking demand.","PeriodicalId":305942,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 1st International Conference on Power Electronics, Intelligent Control and Energy Systems (ICPEICES)","volume":"924 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116420277","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}
