The system employs client server architecture and Internet of Things (IOT) for communication. The controller is designed with the Arduino microcontroller (Node MCU) at the consumer end and is connected to the internet through Wi-Fi, In this system, every device is connected to the internet through the IOT protocol and controlling is done through HTTP requests sent from the Android mobile application. The API (Application Programming Interface) connects the server and android application and allows it to interact and exchange data with the server. Whenever the user sends requests from android application, the API connects to the server and it sends request to the controller, further to which the controller performs ON/OFF function of the device based on the request received. Using this method, controlling home appliances is discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":385912,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Power, Energy and Environment: Towards Smart Technology (ICEPE)","volume":"740 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123711493","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 objective of the work is to design an intelligent calibration technique which will be able to adjust the minimum and maximum reading based on the user defined values. Capacitance level sensor produces a change in capacitance for variation in liquid level. Change in capacitance is converted to voltage with the help of a timer and a frequency to voltage converter. Voltage signal is acquired on to the personnel computer for computation. Calibration is achieved with the help of neural network algorithms. Neural network algorithm is trained to map the input range set by the user to the standard signal of 1 to 5V, using the back propagation with artificial bee colony algorithm.

The fluctuating nature of renewable energy sources present as a challenge to power generation scheduling in a renewable Micro-grid. To address these challenges associated with unpredictability of load and renewable energy sources, this paper proposes a novel generalized algorithm for optimal day ahead power scheduling, considering the economic cost and the meteorological factors affecting forecasting of renewable energy sources. The paper contains two levels, the lower level includes 24-hour forecasting of the factors affecting generation, such as solar irradiance for solar power forecasting, etc. The higher level includes optimization for economic generation plan for the microgrid. For forecasting, Artificial Neural Networks is used, which reduces the uncertainty factor in the scheduling process. Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm is used for optimization of the generation source with respect to demand and cost.

The effect on the power quality of the proposed system is analyzed via dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). The distributed generators (DGs) are integrated and fed to distribution grid through de link of DVR interfacing inverter which is a series inverter linking the DGs to the distribution grid. The DGs as energy storage device regulates the dc link voltage of DVR. The distributed generator consisting of a photovoltaic system (PVS), a wind energy conversion system (WECS) and a micro hydro system (MHS) is proposed. The motivation is on improvement of power quality (PQ) in terms of harmonics and voltage sag. An instantaneous symmetrical component theory (ISCT) for fundamental voltage extraction and hysteresis current control technique for PWM generation is implemented. The complete system is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink SimPower system block set. The proposed system is subjected to nonlinear and dynamic loads and the simulated results are presented.

This paper presents the performance of a single cylinder diesel engine using 100 percent biodiesel from four seed oils like yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana), grapefruit (Citrus maxima), castor (Ricinus communis) and pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L) respectively. Engine tests were conducted to get the comparative measures of brake power (BP), torque (T), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and exhaust gas temperature (EGT). Some encouraging findings were recorded and it was found that engine brake power and torque at all loads for all the biodiesel test fuels are similar to that of diesel fuel. The lowest BSFC is obtained for yellow oleander seed oil biodiesel among the four tested biodiesels, while the lowest BTE is obtained for castor seed oil biodiesel.","PeriodicalId":385912,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Power, Energy and Environment: Towards Smart Technology (ICEPE)","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125256929","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 proposed fractional-order chaotic system (FOCS) displays rich bifurcation, transient chaos and complex topology due to its multi-wing structure. Study of the multi-wing attractor dynamics is performed by means of fractal Lyapunov dimension, bifurcation analysis, maximum Lyapunov exponents spectrum, sensitivity to initial conditions and phase portraits. The minimum commensurate dimension to display chaos is determined. The proposed FOCS has the potential to safeguard the privacy of data transmission in secure communication and hence, a synchronisation control procedure is designed. Its application to a FO chaos based cryptographic scheme is validated with suitable examples. Finally, the numerical simulation results which are in good agreement with that of theoretical analysis confirm that the objectives of the paper are successfully achieved.","PeriodicalId":385912,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Power, Energy and Environment: Towards Smart Technology (ICEPE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115102894","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}

Comparison of integral, proportional-integral, proportional-integral-derivative and integral minus proportional-derivative as secondary, temperature and air-flow controller in a CCGT plant infer the superiority of latter. Results infer that with decrease in system loading during both isolated and interconnected environment, exhaust temperature of gas turbine increases.

Simulation results with interconnected system provides a more prominent understanding of frequency and tie-power deviations which infer the limitation of exhaust temperature subjected to system loading.","PeriodicalId":385912,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Power, Energy and Environment: Towards Smart Technology (ICEPE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117079084","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 controller and PSS parameters are optimized simultaneously using lightning search algorithm. The investigation reflects the superior performance of PIADF to integer order controllers. Analysis of the effect of system nonlinearities shows the increased sustained oscillations of the responses.
