Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

SANITATION
41. You cannot take what is not yours, that are the words that emphasizes
in chapter 10 of National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP). one of its
general rules said that no part of any building or structure or any of its
appendages shall project beyond the property line of the building site, except as
provided in this Code.
You can only take the assigned lot area and shall not exceed from it,
because it makes nonsense even how beautiful your structure is if you violate
one of the rules and regulations of the said building code, with this chapter, it
also stated the guidelines about the minimum and maximum measurement of
foundations, footings, and the likes.
CHAPTER 10
BUILDING PROJECTION OVER
PUBLIC STREETS
42. We are also guided by this chapter of how and where to put a proper
design to our structure by following the provided measurement. for example, if
the designed structure needs an arcade, it shall be constructed on sidewalks of
street, the width and height of it shall be uniform throughout the street provided
and it should be less than 3 meters above the established sidewalk grade -
arcades, section 1004. Or maybe our structure needed a movable awning, make
sure that it will not block the required exit if it will collapse.
Lastly, if we construct a structure make sure that it may not cause an
obstruction to the existing utility such as power, gas, water and so on,
CHAPTER 10
BUILDING PROJECTION OVER
PUBLIC STREETS
44. In this chapter, it highlighted the saying, safety first before
anything else. This chapter concerns of why we need to consider the
protection of pedestrians during construction or demolition.
No person shall use a street, alley or public sidewalk for the
performance of work covered by a building permit except in accordance
with the provisions of this Chapter. to protect all the pedestrians, this chapter
commanded all the engineers and laborers of the working site must provide
a sidewalk or a walkway with not less than 1.20 meters wide and a uniform
live load 650 kilograms per square meter.
CHAPTER 11
PROTECTION OF PEDESTRIANS DURING
CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION
45. With this chapter, the protection of pedestrians is also provided if
the engineers, laborers, and all the responsible for the working site must
follow the provided rules in railing, fencing and putting canopies.
For the better and proper Railings, it shall be built substantially
strong and should be at least 1.00 meter in height. However, Fences shall be
built of an approved material, not less than 2.40 meters in height above
grade, and be placed on the side of the walkway nearest to the building site.
Fences shall enclose entirely the building site. Openings in such fences shall
be provided with doors which shall be kept closed at all times. And in putting
protective canopies, it shall have a clear height of 2.40 meters above the
railway, and shall be structurally safe.
CHAPTER 11
PROTECTION OF PEDESTRIANS DURING
CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION
46. Every canopy shall have a solid fence built along its entire length
on the construction side. If materials are stored or work is done on top of the
canopy, the edge along the street shall be protected by a tight curb board not
less than 300 millimeters high and a railing not less than 1-meter high shall
be provided. The entire structure shall be designed to carry the loads
imposed upon it: Provided, that the live load shall be not less than 600
kilograms per square meter.
Lastly, pedestrians must be safe before, during and after
demolition of a structure, and according to this code, demolition must not be
done until such plans, specifications and schedule are approved by the
Building Official.
CHAPTER 11
PROTECTION OF PEDESTRIANS DURING
CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION
48. Designing a structure is one of the enjoyable but intricate thing
that I found out. It is easy to design a structure but a lot of things we should
remember first. And chapter 12 of NBCP are their to guide us about general
designing and construction requirements of a good and strong structure.
Proposed buildings for construction shall comply with all the
regulations and specifications. All other matters relative to the structural
design of all buildings and other structures not provided for in this Chapter
shall conform the Republic Act Number 544, as amended, known as the

GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
REQUIREMENTS
49. In this chapter, we can learn the maximum and minimum
standards of the parts of the structure, like Excavation, Foundation,
Retaining Walls, skylights, Bays, Porches, Balconies and so forth. So that,
the structure will carry the possible amount of load.
Designing is not only about beautification but an obedience of a
designer to follow all the rules and regulations of an appropriate design
for the good and strong structure.
