Abstract
Various basic, efficient and cheap techniques are used for the purpose of life forecast and failure detection of aluminum electrolytic capacitors which are utilized as a part of many power electronic converters. The main idea of these techniques is to calculate the values of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Capacitance (C). Observing the ESR values, valuation of changes in voltage and current of electrolytic capacitor, can gauge the well being state of the converter as well as life period of capacitor. But these techniques fails to consider all four parameters temperature, frequency, voltage and current simultaneously that affect the life period of electrolytic capacitor. The goal of this paper is to propose a comprehensive platform for electrolytic capacitor life period estimation. Proposed method consider all parameters that are limiting age of Aluminium electrolytic capacitor in switched power DC-DC buck converter.

Study of different work materials effect on surface roughness in electrochemi...eSAT Journals
Abstract In today’s manufacturing era, Electrochemical machining process provides good surface finish due to its controlled atomic dissolution of work material, involving chemical reactions during machining. To enhance the machining performance, precise selection of machining parameters, is still a demanding job in ECM process as it is very complex process involving so many unpredictable chemical reactions while machining. Due to chemical and electrical characteristics; effect on surface roughness of process also depends upon the type of material. A very rare work has been done by taking work material as input parameter for experimental study of ECM. The reaction of work material is investigated as an input parameter along with voltage and inter-electrode gap on improvement in surface roughness using orthogonal Array. Work-piece material is discovered as most significant factor influencing improvement in Surface Roughness followed by Inter-electrode gap and Voltage. Effect of ECM is found to be most prominent on Brass work-piece.

Investigation of overvoltage on square, rectangular and L-shaped ground grid...IJECEIAES
Ground grid system is important for preventing the hazardous effects of overvoltage in high voltage substations due to fault current perhaps from lightning strike or device malfunction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of overvoltage on square, rectangular and L-shaped ground grids with ground rods being distributed in mesh-pattern by using alternate transients program/electromagnetic transients program (ATP/EMTP) program. The models were simulated in the cases that 25 kAfault current being injected into the center or one of the corners of ground grids. The results showed that the highest level of overvoltage (6.3349 kV) was detected at the corner of rectangular ground grid when the fault current was injected into its corner. However, the lowest level of overvoltage was found when the fault current was injected into the center of square ground grid. The results from this study indicated that ATP/EMTP program was useful for preliminary investigation of overvoltage on ground grids of different shapes. The obtained knowledge could be beneficial for further designing of ground grid systems of high voltage substations to receive the minimal damages due to fault current.
SYNCHROPHASOR DATA BASED INTELLIGENT ALGORITHM FOR REAL TIME EVENT DETECTION ...IAEME Publication
The wide area measurement system (WAMS) has been installed at several locations in power system. Phasor measurements units (PMU) are considered as the building blocks of WAMS are being installed at various locations of power system. PMU is sending very large volume of data to Power system control center with the sampling rate of 50 or 25 samples per second. However there are always several events per day occurring in the system but the rate at which data is received and the volume of data to be analyzed is a big challenge for power system engineer. There is a need for developing an intelligent system to handle large volume of Synchrophasor data and identify Power system event in the present context. This paper presents an intelligent algorithm to automatically detect such events using wide area measurements in real time. In this work, Synchrophasor measurements received from PMU are fed to KNN based pattern recognition algorithm which is used to identify the Power system events. The severity and the type of the event can be judged through the change in voltage magnitude and phase angle at various buses. The developed algorithm is tested for IEEE 14 bus system and results are verified.

Prediction of li ion battery discharge characteristics at different temperatu...eSAT Journals
Abstract State of charge (SOC) is an important battery parameter which provides a good indication of the useful capacity that can be derived out of a battery system at any given point of time. Li-ion has become state of the art technology for commercial and aerospace applications due to the various advantages that they offer. For spacecrafts requiring long lifetime, SOC estimation is crucial for on-orbit as well as offline data analysis. On-orbit estimation of SOC should be carefully addressed, as this provides information on survivability of battery and also serves as input to Battery Management System (BMS). In addition, detailed offline data analysis of battery electrical characteristics, which indicate the SOC-Voltage relationship is important to assess the performance of the battery under various mission scenarios at both Beginning of life (BOL) and End of Life (EOL) of a spacecraft system. In this work, a hybrid SOC estimation method, incorporating coulomb counting and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is used, to predict the BOL discharge behaviour of an 18650 commercial Li-ion cell at different temperatures and discharge rates. The experimental results are encouraging and the approach gives a prediction error of less than 10%. The study will serve as basis for life assessment of Li-ion cells and batteries used for GEO and LEO missions. Key Words: Li-ion, State of Charge, Unscented Kalman Filter etc…
Decentralised PI controller design based on dynamic interaction decoupling in...IJECEIAES
An enhanced method for design of decenralised proportional integral (PI) controllers to control various variables of flotation columns is proposed. These columns are multivariable processes characterised by multiple interacting manipulated and controlled variables. The control of more than one variable is not an easy problem to solve as a change in a specific manipulated variable affects more than one controlled variable. Paper proposes an improved method for design of decentralized PI controllers through the introduction of decoupling of the interconnected model of the process. Decoupling the system model has proven to be an effective strategy to reduce the influence of the interactions in the closed-loop control and consistently to keep the system stable. The mathematical derivations and the algorithm of the design procedure are described in detail. The behaviour and performance of the closed-loop systems without and with the application of the decoupling method was investigated and compared through simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the decouplers - based closedloop system has better performance than the closed-loop system without decouplers. The highest improvement (2 to 50 times) is in the steady-state error and 1.2 to 7 times in the settling and rising time. Controllers can easily be implemented.

Electrical battery modeling for applications in wireless sensor networks and ...journalBEEI
Modeling the behavior of the battery is non-trivial. Nevertheless, an accurate battery model is required in the design and testing of systems such wireless sensor network (WSN) and internet of things (IoT). This paper presents the one resistive-capacitance (1RC) battery model with simple parameterization technique for nickel metal hydride (NiMH). This model offers a good trade-off between accuracy and parameterization effort. The model’s parameters are extracted through the pulse measurement technique and implemented in a physical and dynamic simulator. Finally, the performance of the model is validated with the real-life NiMH battery by applying current pulses and real wireless sensor node current profiles. The results of the voltage response obtained from both the model and experiments showed excellent accuracy, with difference of less than 2%.
Optimization of EDM Process Parameters using Response Surface Methodology for...ijtsrd
The present work demonstrates the optimization process of material removal rate MRR of electrical discharge machining EDM by RSM Response Surface Methodology . The work piece material was EN31 tool steel. The pulse on time, pulse off time, pulse current and voltage were the control parameters of EDM. RSM method was used to design the experiment using rotatable central composite design as this is the most widely used experimental design for modeling a second–order response surface. The process has been successfully modeled using response surface methodology RSM and model adequacy checking is also carried out using Minitab software. The second order response models have been validated with analysis of variance. Finally, an attempt has been made to estimate the optimum machining conditions to produce the best possible responses within the experimental constraints. Dr. N. Mahesh Kumar | Mr. P.

Direct current (DC) electronic load is a useful equipment for testing the electrical system. It can emulate various load at a high rating. The electronic load requires a power converter to operate and a linear regulator is a common option. Nonetheless, it is hard to control due to the temperature variation. This paper proposed a DC electronic load using the boost converter. The proposed electronic load operates in the continuous current mode and control using the integral controller. The electronic load using the boost converter is compared with the electronic load using the linear regulator. The results show that the boost converter able to operate as an electronic load with an error lower than 0.5% and response time lower than 13 ms.
The inverter is the principal part of the photovoltaic (PV) systems that assures the direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) conversion (PV array is connected directly to an inverter that converts the DC energy produced by the PV array into AC energy that is directly connected to the electric utility). In this paper, we present a simple method for detecting faults that occurred during the operation of the inverter. These types of faults or faults affect the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the photovoltaic system, especially the inverter, which is the main component responsible for the conversion. Hence, we have shown first the faults obtained in the case of the short circuit. Second, the open circuit failure is studied. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Good monitoring and detection of faults in the inverter can increase the system's reliability and decrease the undesirable faults that appeared in the PV system. The system behavior is tested under variable parameters and conditions using MATLAB/Simulink.
Single core configurations of saturated core fault current limiter performanc...IJECEIAES
Economic growth with industrialization and urbanization lead to an extensive increase in power demand. It forced the utilities to add power generating facilities to cause the necessary demand-generation balance. The bulk power generating stations, mostly interconnected, with the penetration of distributed generation result in an enormous rise in the fault level of power networks. It necessitates for electrical utilities to control the fault current so that the existing switchgear can continue its services without upgradation or replacement for reliable supply. The deployment of fault current limiter (FCL) at the distribution and transmission networks has been under investigation as a potential solution to the problem. A saturated core fault current limiter (SCFCL) technology is a smart, scalable, efficient, reliable, and commercially viable option to manage fault levels in existing and future MV/HV supply systems. This paper presents the comparative performance analysis of two single-core SCFCL topologies impressed with different core saturations. It has demonstrated that the single AC winding configuration needs more bias power for affecting the same current limiting performance with an acceptable steady-state voltage drop contribution. The fault state impedance has a transient nature, and the optimum bias selection is a critical design parameter in realizing the SCFCL applications.

that there are no transients occurred during switching of solid state relays where as during switching of
electromechanical relay transients observed in volatge and current waveforms. So, it is advisable to use the solid
state relays over electromagnetic relay for safe and smooth operation of the system.
A study on modelling and simulation of photovoltaic cellseSAT Journals
Abstract This Paper presents a detailed study on the types of modelling of the PV Panel for simulation studies. The main concern of this study is to analyze the results and compare them under standard test conditions. PV systems are generally integrated with specific control algorithms in order to extract the maximum possible power. Hence it is highly imperative that the Maximum Power Point (MPP) is achieved effectively and thus we need to design a model from which the MPPT algorithm can be realized in an efficient way. Also other parameters should be taken into account for finding the best model for the use in simulation. It is very important to choose the appropriate model based on the application. The models used for study in this paper include the single diode model, two diode model and Simscape modelling. MATLAB/Simulink presents a powerful tool to study such systems. The work tests the accuracy of the models under different temperature and irradiance conditions. The two diode model is known to have better accuracy at low irradiance levels which allows for a more accurate prediction of PV system performance. Simscape, part of Simulink environment, has a solar cell block that makes building a PV model straightforward and much easier programming with full demonstration to all system details. On the basis of the study, the best model that can be used for simulation purposes can be selected. It is envisaged that the work can be very useful for professionals who require simple and accurate PV simulators for their design. All the systems here are modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Keywords: PV cell, STC, MATLAB Simulink, Ideality Factor

Mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete for pavementseSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present
investigation. Steel fibers of 1% and polypropylene fibers 0.036% were added individually to the concrete mixture as mono fibers and
then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract
Various basic, efficient and cheap techniques are used for the purpose of life forecast and failure detection of aluminum
electrolytic capacitors which are utilized as a part of many power electronic converters. The main idea of these techniques is to
calculate the values of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Capacitance (C). Observing the ESR values, valuation of changes
in voltage and current of electrolytic capacitor, can gauge the well being state of the converter as well as life period of capacitor.
But these techniques fails to consider all four parameters temperature, frequency, voltage and current simultaneously that affect
the life period of electrolytic capacitor. The goal of this paper is to propose a comprehensive platform for electrolytic capacitor
life period estimation. Proposed method consider all parameters that are limiting age of Aluminium electrolytic capacitor in
switched power DC-DC buck converter.

1. INTRODUCTION
Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is mainly used in power
electronic converters. The failures of the power converters
results in electronic system failure. Most of the time
undesired output is resulted from malfunctioned behavior of
electrolytic capacitor. It is absolutely clear from previous
researches that Aluminium electrolytic capacitor has a finite
useful light [1]-[21].
There are many reasons and patterns of failure of
electrolytic capacitors. Mainly failure of aluminium
electrolytic capacitors is due to the evaporation of
electrolytic solution. Equivalent series resistance (ESR) of
capacitor will increase and capacitance (C) will decrease as
the working hours of capacitor will increase. Operating
temperature rise will again accelerate the process, which
will increase the power losses. Considerable changes can be
seen in Capacitor characteristics [1]-[9].
The purpose of this paper is to review the degradation
mechanism of aluminium electrolytic capacitors, equivalent
circuit models, life prediction models and failure detection
techniques and then propose more accurate and inclusive
method considering all age affecting factors which will
predict life period aluminium electrolytic capacitor used in
a switched power DC-DC buck converter.

electrodes, one as an anode and another as a cathode and
separator paper is soaked in an electrolyte solution.[1] The
dielectric is an oxide layer (Al2O3) which formed
electrochemically on the surface of the anode.[2] Low cost,
large capacity, energy storage and voltage regulation are the
main reasons of electrolytic capacitor for being used in
power converters.[3]
Generally there are two models used for modelling the
equivalent circuit of electrolytic capacitors as shown in Fig.
1 and Fig. 2. [1]-[7] Practically lead inductance is kept as
small as possible and therefore the value of the equivalent
series inductance (ESL) becomes much smaller than the
ESR. Value of leakage current is considered as negligible.
The equivalent circuit for the electrolytic capacitor
considering all component losses is simplified as series
combination of Capacitor (C) and ESR as shown in Fig. 3.
[1]-[9]
Malfunctioned behavior of Aluminium electrolytic
capacitors is due to reasons such as short circuit, open
circuit, increase of leakage current, electrolyte vaporization,
etc. But main reason of degradation is the vaporization of
electrolyte. When the volume of electrolyte decreases, the
value of ESR will increase and C will decrease.

The increasing value of ESR will results in additional power
loss, increasing internal temperature and accelerated
evaporation of the electrolyte.[7] The capacitor is
considered to be failed when its 40% of the electrolyte is
consumed.[1]-[8] The volume measurement of electrolyte
can't be conducted, and hence ESR is used to predict failure
and also to analyze life period.
The relationship between ESR and the volume of
electrolyte can be expressed as shown in Equation (1) .
Where ESR0 is the initial value of ESR , V0 is the initial
volume of electrolyte. Researchers have calculated that
when 40% of the electrolyte is consumed then ESR will
become about 2.8 to 3 times of initial value of ESR and
capacitor is considered as failed [1][7][8].
3. FAILURE DETECTION METHODS
Numerous methods have been proposed for failure
detection, which mainly focus on the ESR of the electrolytic
capacitor [1]–[14],[17]. Numerous parameters, for example,
current or temperature need to be measured, which increases
intricacy and accuracy of the measurement. Failure
detection methods can be classified into two sections, online
and offline failure prediction methods. Most of the methods
use power converters for their application.
A ratio of the capacitor voltage to the capacitor current or
load current method has been widely used with converters
[1]-[9]. Some method consider current as constant source
and failure detection is done only using output voltage
ripple.[7] Many methods have considered ratio of mean
value of ripple voltage and ripple current at different
switching instances. Almost all the methods only vary their
measurement positions and/or measurement instances, but
parameters are same and that are voltage and current[1]-
[13].
Again methods are differentiated on basis of techniques
used for the measurement of parameters. Methods based on
sensors are more precise than the methods which are sensor
less with hardware precision overhead[1]-[8]. Some
methods differ by their processing techniques used such as
least square or recursive least square method, Empirical
Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithms that are used to
process data[17].
Methods also differ by the processing hardware used.
Digital signal processors, computers and spatially designed
systems are utilized[8][11]. Various methods have preferred
to use oscilloscope, ripple current tester, data acquisition
systems from National Instruments to collect data[7][8].
Method have also formulated temperature relation in failure
detection. One method has used capacitor electrolytic
temperature to evaluate electrolytic volume for calculation
of ESR[14].
4. LIFE PREDICTION MODEL
Electrolytic capacitors have limited but indefinite life
period. Life time may vary due to different operating
conditions and also it is dependent on various physical
factors. Life prediction model is generally graphical which
is included in datasheets of capacitors. Another method is to
use formulation based on different parametric
factors[1],[14]-[21].
There are four major parameters voltage, current, switching
frequency and temperature that affects the life period of
electrolytic capacitor.[1][7][8][21]. Parameters in operation
are used along with standard life time mentioned in the
datasheets for the resulting life time estimation. Many
others have proposed techniques based only on some
specific parameters. They haven't considered all parameters
for the estimation at the same time [1]-[20].
4.1 Temperature Factor (KT):
The Temperature Factor (Kt) is based on 10 Kelvin rule. A
drop of the ambient temperature by 10K doubles the
lifetime. The formula can be given as follows :
Where,
: Upper category temperature
: Ambient temperature in the application
4.2 Ripple Current Factor (KR):
The effect of ripple current of electrolytic capacitors on the
life period can be given by ripple current factor as :

And

capacitors (typ. 5 K at T0 = 105 °C and 10 K at T0 = 85 °C)
.
: Empirical safety factor, defined as :
If = then for ;
;
If = then
4.3 Voltage Factor (KV):
The influence of actual operating voltage of electrolytic
capacitors on the lifetime of electrolytic capacitors can be
given as :
Where,
: Rated voltage
: Actual operating voltage
n : exponent (selected according to manufacturer.)
4.4 Frequency Factor (KF):
The frequency also creates an impact on the life period of
electrolytic capacitors. The ratio of actual ripple current
measured and the frequency factor shown below is used to
get frequency compensated ripple current for the life period
estimation:
Where,
: ESR at nominal frequency (generally at
100Hz/120Hz)
: ESR at operating frequency.
For the proposed method ESR will be calculated by using
sensed voltage and ripple current.
4.5 The Structure of Life Time Model:
The life time model is based on some specific parameters
from the datasheet and some specific parameters in
application. Standard reference life time from datasheet is
multiplied with the impact factors of these parameters to
estimate resulting life time as follows:
(6)
Where,
: Resulting lifetime
: Lifetime at nominal ripple and upper category
temperature.
5. PROPOSED METHOD
The proposed method for the online failure prediction of
electrolytic capacitors will be based the life time model
using all parametric effects as discussed in IV-E section. A
DC-DC converter with an LC filter will be implemented
using a simple switcher with fixed frequency. Adjustable
output voltage and current range is up to 3A. The radial
electrolytic capacitor used is of 470µF, 50V, 1050
C.
Capacitor ripple current and output voltage along with the
ambient temperature in application is acquired using data
acquisition system and will be processed using Digital
Signal Processor (DSP). The implementation of the system
is done using high resolution analog to digital converter, a
DSP and a interface board that is ADS8380EVM,
TMS320C6713 DSK and 5-6K interface board respectively.
This system setup is more precise and will provide required
resolution for the precise lifetime estimation. DSP supports
floating point operations and ADC has 18 bit resolution.
Entire circuit can be enclosed in a temperature controlled
cube which will bring more accurate and steady temperature
readings.
Block diagram of proposed method is shown in fig. 4. this
method is easy, more accurate and inclusive. By varying
various parameters, we will be able to see the change in
lifetime directly on the display.

7. CONCLUSION
The electrolytic capacitors are commonly used in the
switching-mode power converters. These capacitors have
limited time period. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the
lifetime of the electrolytic capacitor for reliability
assessment of power converters. Different methods used for
the failure prediction of electrolytic capacitor are reviewed
in this paper.
Experimental measurements will be done on the electrolytic
capacitors under different operation conditions for the life
time prediction using a well structured and parameterized
life time model. Simulation of the proposed method is
concluded in this paper. The new method will be
implemented practically to realize the online failure
prediction of the electrolytic capacitor of an LC filter in the
switching-mode DC-DC power converter.
