sunlight to create electricity, harnessing efficiency is 68% eventually against the claim of 85% by the various manufacturers
worldwide. Power Electronics Interface are incorporated with Photovoltaic (PV) System to intensify the efficiency of the PV
system and undoubtedly we have reached to the goalmouth. There are two stages where power electronics converter are used.

Alternating current (AC) electrical drives mainly require smaller current (or torque) ripples and lower total harmonic distortion (THD) of voltage for excellent drive performances. Normally, in practice, to achieve these requirements, the inverter needs to be operated at high switching frequency. By operating at high switching frequency, the size of filter can be reduced. However, the inverter which oftenly employs insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) for high power applications cannot be operated at high switching frequency. This is because, the IGBT switching frequency cannot be operated above 50 kHz due to its thermal restrictions. This paper proposes an alternate switching strategy to enable the use of IGBT for operating the inverter at high switching frequency to improve THD performances. In this strategy, each IGBT in a group of switches in the modified inverter circuit will operate the switching frequency at one-fourth of the inverter switching frequency. The alternate switching is implemented using simple analog and digital integrated circuits.

In this article, a three-phase multilevel neutral-point-clamped inverter with a modified t-type structure of switches is proposed. A pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme of the proposed inverter is also developed. The proposed topology of the multilevel inverter has the advantage of being simple, on the one hand since it does contain only semiconductors in reduced number (corresponding to the number of required voltage levels), and no other components such as switching or flying capacitors, and on the other hand, the control scheme is much simpler and more suitable for variable frequency and voltage control. The performances of this inverter are analyzed through simulations carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment on a threephase inverter with 9 levels. In all simulations, the proposed topology is connected with R-load or RL-load without any output filter.

With the dominating utility of the internet, it becomes critical to manage the efficiency and reliability of telecom and datacenter, as the power consumption of the involved equipment also increases. Much power being wasted through the power conversion stages by converting AC voltage to DC voltage and then stepping down to lower voltages to connect to information and communication technology (ICT) equipment. 48/12 VDC is the standard DC bus architecture to serve the end utility equipment. This voltage level is further processed to multiple lower voltages to power up the internal auxiliary circuits. Power losses are involved when it is converted from higher voltage to lower voltages. Therefore, the efficiency of power conversion is lower. There is a need to increase the efficiency by minimizing the power losses which occur due to the conversion stages. Different methods are available to increase the efficiency of a system by optimizing the converter topologies, semiconductor materials and control methods. There is another possibility of increasing the efficiency by changing the architecture of a system by increasing the DC bus voltage to higher voltages to optimize the losses. This paper presents a review of available high voltage options for telecom power distribution and developments, implementations and challenges across the world.
This paper provides a new approach to reducing high-order harmonics in 400 Hz inverter using a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter. A voltage control loop using the harmonic compensation combined with NPC clamping diode control technology. The capacitor voltage imbalance also causes harmonics in the output voltage. For 400 Hz inverter, maintain a balanced voltage between the two input (direct current) (DC) capacitors is difficult because the pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation frequency ratio is low compared to the frequency of the output voltage. A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.
When the irradiance distribution over the photovoltaic panels is uniform, the pursuit of the maximum power point is not reached, which has allowed several researchers to use traditional MPPT techniques to solve this problem Among these techniques a PSO algorithm is used to have the maximum global power point (GMPPT) under partial shading. On the other hand, this one is not reliable vis-à-vis the pursuit of the MPPT. Therefore, in this paper we have treated another technique based on a new modified PSO algorithm so that the power can reach its maximum point. The PSO algorithm is based on the heuristic method which guarantees not only the obtaining of MPPT but also the simplicity of control and less expensive of the system. The results are obtained using MATLAB show that the proposed modified PSO algorithm performs better than conventional PSO and is robust to different partial shading models.
The emerging of inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) technology provides more opportunities for the electric vehicle (EV) battery to have a better recharging process. With the development of IWPT technology, various way of wireless charging of the EV battery is proposed in order to find the best solution. To further understand the fundamentals of the IWPT system itself, an ample review is done. There are different ways of EV charging which are static charging (wired), static wireless charging (SWC) and dynamic wireless charging (DWC). The review starts with a brief comparison of static charging, SWC and DWC. Then, in detailed discussion on the fundamental concepts, related laws and equations that govern the IWPT principle are also included. In this review, the focus is more on the DWC with a little discussion on static charging and SWC to ensure in-depth understanding before one can do further research about the EV charging process. The in-depth perception regarding the development of DWC is elaborated together with the system architecture of the IWPT and DWC system and the different track versions of DWC, which is installable to the road lane.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a vision-based solar tracking system using both light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors and image processing to more efficiently track the sun and maximize solar panel output. The system uses 4 LDR sensors initially to track sunlight intensity changes and orient the solar panel. It then uses a camera and image processing algorithms to identify the sun's position in an image, calculate its centroid coordinates, and provide a corrected tracking measurement to better align the panel with the sun's direct rays. Experimental results show the combined LDR and image processing approach generates more power than a fixed panel or LDR-only tracking system over a 17 hour period.
A hybrid DC/DC/AC converter connected to the grid without a three-phase transformer is controlled. The decentralized control method is applied to the hybrid DC-DC converter such that the maximum power of PV flows to the grid side. This controller must charge and discharge the battery at the proper time. It must also regulate DC-link voltage. An additional advantage of the proposed control is that the three-phase inverter does not need a separate controller such as PWM and SPWM. A simple technique is used for creating the desired phase shift in the three-phase inverter, which makes the active and reactive power of the inverter controllable. A new configuration is also proposed to transmit and manage the generation power of PV. In this scheme, the battery and fuel cell are employed as an auxiliary source to manage the generation power of PV. Finally, a real-time simulation is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller and system by considering the real characteristics of PV and FC.

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.

A multi-objective function is employed to enhance the voltage stability, voltage profile, and minimize the total power loss of the radial distribution system (RDS). Firstly, the voltage stability index (VSI) is applied to locate the optimal location of DG and D-STATCOM respectively.

Verification of the proposed algorithm has achieved on the standard IEEE 33-bus and Iraqi 65-bus radial distribution systems through simulation using MATLAB. Comprehensive simulation results of four different cases show that the proposed HFPSO demonstrates significant improvements over other existing algorithms in supporting voltage stability and loss reduction in distribution networks. Furthermore, comparisons have achieved to demonstrate the superiority of HFPSO algorithms over other techniques due to its ability to determine the global optimum solution by easy way and speed converge feature.

With the dominating utility of the internet, it becomes critical to manage the efficiency and reliability of telecom and datacenter, as the power consumption of the involved equipment also increases. Much power being wasted through the power conversion stages by converting AC voltage to DC voltage and then stepping down to lower voltages to connect to information and communication technology (ICT) equipment. 48/12 VDC is the standard DC bus architecture to serve the end utility equipment. This voltage level is further processed to multiple lower voltages to power up the internal auxiliary circuits. Power losses are involved when it is converted from higher voltage to lower voltages. Therefore, the efficiency of power conversion is lower. There is a need to increase the efficiency by minimizing the power losses which occur due to the conversion stages. Different methods are available to increase the efficiency of a system by optimizing the converter topologies, semiconductor materials and control methods. There is another possibility of increasing the efficiency by changing the architecture of a system by increasing the DC bus voltage to higher voltages to optimize the losses. This paper presents a review of available high voltage options for telecom power distribution and developments, implementations and challenges across the world.
This paper provides a new approach to reducing high-order harmonics in 400 Hz inverter using a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter. A voltage control loop using the harmonic compensation combined with NPC clamping diode control technology. The capacitor voltage imbalance also causes harmonics in the output voltage. For 400 Hz inverter, maintain a balanced voltage between the two input (direct current) (DC) capacitors is difficult because the pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation frequency ratio is low compared to the frequency of the output voltage. A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.
When the irradiance distribution over the photovoltaic panels is uniform, the pursuit of the maximum power point is not reached, which has allowed several researchers to use traditional MPPT techniques to solve this problem Among these techniques a PSO algorithm is used to have the maximum global power point (GMPPT) under partial shading. On the other hand, this one is not reliable vis-à-vis the pursuit of the MPPT. Therefore, in this paper we have treated another technique based on a new modified PSO algorithm so that the power can reach its maximum point. The PSO algorithm is based on the heuristic method which guarantees not only the obtaining of MPPT but also the simplicity of control and less expensive of the system. The results are obtained using MATLAB show that the proposed modified PSO algorithm performs better than conventional PSO and is robust to different partial shading models.
The emerging of inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) technology provides more opportunities for the electric vehicle (EV) battery to have a better recharging process. With the development of IWPT technology, various way of wireless charging of the EV battery is proposed in order to find the best solution. To further understand the fundamentals of the IWPT system itself, an ample review is done. There are different ways of EV charging which are static charging (wired), static wireless charging (SWC) and dynamic wireless charging (DWC). The review starts with a brief comparison of static charging, SWC and DWC. Then, in detailed discussion on the fundamental concepts, related laws and equations that govern the IWPT principle are also included. In this review, the focus is more on the DWC with a little discussion on static charging and SWC to ensure in-depth understanding before one can do further research about the EV charging process. The in-depth perception regarding the development of DWC is elaborated together with the system architecture of the IWPT and DWC system and the different track versions of DWC, which is installable to the road lane.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a vision-based solar tracking system using both light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors and image processing to more efficiently track the sun and maximize solar panel output. The system uses 4 LDR sensors initially to track sunlight intensity changes and orient the solar panel. It then uses a camera and image processing algorithms to identify the sun's position in an image, calculate its centroid coordinates, and provide a corrected tracking measurement to better align the panel with the sun's direct rays. Experimental results show the combined LDR and image processing approach generates more power than a fixed panel or LDR-only tracking system over a 17 hour period.
A hybrid DC/DC/AC converter connected to the grid without a three-phase transformer is controlled. The decentralized control method is applied to the hybrid DC-DC converter such that the maximum power of PV flows to the grid side. This controller must charge and discharge the battery at the proper time. It must also regulate DC-link voltage. An additional advantage of the proposed control is that the three-phase inverter does not need a separate controller such as PWM and SPWM. A simple technique is used for creating the desired phase shift in the three-phase inverter, which makes the active and reactive power of the inverter controllable. A new configuration is also proposed to transmit and manage the generation power of PV. In this scheme, the battery and fuel cell are employed as an auxiliary source to manage the generation power of PV. Finally, a real-time simulation is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller and system by considering the real characteristics of PV and FC.

Comprehensive simulation results of four different cases show that the proposed HFPSO demonstrates significant improvements over other existing algorithms in supporting voltage stability and loss reduction in distribution networks. Furthermore, comparisons have achieved to demonstrate the superiority of HFPSO algorithms over other techniques due to its ability to determine the global optimum solution by easy way and speed converge feature.

An Improved Single Phase Transformer less Inverter Topology for Cost Effecti...IJMER
In grid connected PV systems, the elimination of isolation transformer introduces common
mode leakage current due to the parasitic capacitance between PV panels and the ground. The common
mode leakage current reduces the efficiency of power conversion stage, affects the quality of grid
current, deteriorate the electric magnetic compatibility and give rise to various safety threats. In order
to eliminate the leakage current, an improved transformer less topology with virtual DC bus concept is
proposed here. By connecting the grid neutral line directly to the negative pole of the DC bus, the stray
capacitance between the PV panels and the ground is bypassed. The topology consists of only five power
switches, two capacitors and the filter section. Therefore, the power electronics cost can be curtailed.
This advanced topology can be modulated with the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce
the output current ripple. The simulation result of the proposed topology using MATLAB/SIMULINK is
presented.

Abstract
Inverters with transformers of conventional type, connected in PV grid-tied generation systems have now being replaced by transformerless inverters due to various reasons such as reduction in size, weight and cost, improvement in efficiency etc. Transformerless inverters cause a number of technical challenges in grid-connected PV systems, among which flow of leakage currents is a major problem. This leakage currents that flows between the parasitic capacitance of PV array and the grid has to be eliminated, which otherwise leads to serious safety problems. This paper deals with an H6 transformerless full- bridge inverter topology with low leakage currents that can be used in PV grid – tied applications. The operation modes for the proposed topology are discussed in this paper. A closed loop has been developed for maintaining the voltage constant at the grid side irrespective of changes in the input voltage. Aforementioned transformerless topology is simulated that validates the effectiveness of the converter.

Abstract This paper presents a wind power system using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM). The whole system consists of a wind turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous machine, a three phase diode rectifier, a boost converter, a transformer-less step down circuit, an H-bridge inverter and a T-LCL filter. The 3-phase AC output from the PMSM is sent to the 3-phase diode rectifier for conversion to DC and a boost regulator is used to step-up this DC voltage to the desired level. This step-upped DC voltage is then converted into AC output by the H-Bridge inverter. The switching technique of the proposed inverter consists of a combination of Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and a square wave along with grid synchronization conditions. As the suggested method is entirely transformer-less, it significantly reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to less than 0.1% and minimizes its size. The T-LCL Immittance Converter not only reduces the harmonics of the inverter output but also provides a nearly constant output current thereby stabilizing the system. The system setup and the simulation results were obtained using the PSIM software.

Design and simulation of a simple power electronic interface for grid-connected PV array has been proposed using boost converter and line-commutated inverter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The output of PV array varies with irradiation, and hence the duty cycle of the PI controller is adjusted automatically to supply a constant DC voltage to the inverter circuit, the output of which is directly connected to the grid.

The active power fed to the grid is taken for different firing angles in open loop mode and the firing angle for maximum power has been determined. This is compared with the firing angle obtained from the closed loop mode and found that both results agree with each other.

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.

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
This document summarizes a study on the influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with a chemical stabilizer. Laboratory tests were conducted on locally available loamy soil treated with a patented polymer liquid stabilizer and compacted at four different energy levels. The study found that increasing the compaction effort increased the density of both untreated and treated soil, but the rate of increase was lower for stabilized soil. Treating the soil with the stabilizer improved its unconfined compressive strength and resilient modulus, and reduced accumulated plastic strain, with these properties further improved by higher compaction efforts. The stabilized soil exhibited strength and performance benefits compared to the untreated soil.

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

This document summarizes an experimental study that tested circular concrete-filled steel tube columns with varying parameters. 45 specimens were tested with different fiber percentages (0-2%), tube diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D/t from 15-25), and length-to-diameter (L/d) ratios (from 2.97-7.04). The results found that columns filled with fiber-reinforced concrete exhibited higher stiffness, equal ductility, and enhanced energy absorption compared to those filled with plain concrete. The load carrying capacity increased with fiber content up to 1.5% but not at 2.0%. The analytical predictions of failure load closely matched the experimental values.
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.

Evaluation of operational efficiency of urban road network using travel time ...eSAT Journals
This document evaluates the operational efficiency of an urban road network in Tiruchirappalli, India using travel time reliability measures. Traffic volume and travel times were collected using video data from 8-10 AM on various roads. Average travel times, 95th percentile travel times, and buffer time indexes were calculated to assess reliability. Non-motorized vehicles were found to most impact reliability on one road. A relationship between buffer time index and traffic volume was developed. Finally, a travel time model was created and validated based on length, speed, and volume.
Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
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.

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.

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.

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.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

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.

1. INTRODUCTION
For developing countries, providing energy to its
stakeholders in an efficient and cost effective manner is a
highly challenging task. In spite of significant harnessing
of the fossil fuel reserves, the breach between supply and
demand of energy is ever growing. One of the possible
options to tie this breach is by making extensive use of
solar power [4].
The need for a clean surroundings and the incessant increase
in energy demand makes decentralized renewable energy
production more and more substantial [4]. Photovoltaic
generate electric power when illuminated by sunlight or
artificial light. It directly convert the sun's energy into
electricity which can be easily transported and converted to
other forms for the benefit of society [16].
Though PV technologies use both direct and dispersed
sunlight to create electricity, harnessing efficiency is 68%
eventually against the claim of 85% by the various
manufacturers worldwide. Power Electronics Interface are
incorporated with PV System to intensify the efficiency of
the PV system and undoubtedly we have reached to the
goalmouth.
Power Electronics is the field of engineering which deals
with the use of electronics for the conversion, control and
conditioning of bulk electrical power. It also plays an
important role in the solar system [11], [12], [13], [15].
There are two stage where power electronics converter are
used. First DC-DC converter stage in which lower level PV
voltage is stepped-up at the required higher level [24]; and
second DC-AC inverter stage in which boosted DC link
voltage is converted into AC [17], [18]. If Maximum Power
Point Tracking (MPPT) is accountable for optimizing the
efficiency of the photovoltaic system, power electronics
interface is the solver. The power loses incurred at the
converter stage is reimbursed at inverter stage. This
proposed PV module gives the maximum power, voltage
and current independent of the load.
2. DC-AC INVERTER STAGE
The power produced by a PV module is in the form of direct
current. Conversion of direct current to alternating current
required by many common appliances and for grid-
connection is realized with an inverter. Inverter is basically
an interface between photovoltaic cell and AC grids. There
are several inverter topologies but output current distortion
and efficiency are the two key parameters for the selection
of inverters. Power inverters produce one of three different
types of wave output [1] [2] [3] [4].
Square Wave
Modified Sine Wave
Pure Sine Wave
Based on their operation the inverters can be broadly
classified into
Voltage source inverter (VSI)
Current source inverter (CSI)
The output voltage waveform of Voltage Source Inverter are
independently controlled and mostly remain unaffected by
the load. Due to this phenomenal behavior, the VSI have
many industrial applications such as adjustable speed drives
and also in Power system for FACTS (Flexible AC

Transmission System) [21]. The voltage source inverter
possesses a capacitor in parallel with the DC input [2], [5].
Fig -1: VSI (a), CSI (b)
The output current waveform of Current Source Inverter are
independently controlled and mostly remain unaffected by
the load. Such Inverters are broadly used in medium voltage
industrial applications where high quality waveform is
mandatory. The current source inverters possess an inductor
in series with the input. The converter topology are shown in
Fig 1(a) and (b). Full - Bridge inverters are widely used in
Photovoltaic system [26]. Therefore here we will discuss the
full bridge voltage source inverter and its switching
schemes.
2.1 Full Bridge Inverter
Fig -2: Full - Bridge Inverter
Fig 2 the Full bridge inverter consists of two parallel strings
contributing two switching power devices in series with
anti-paralleled diodes. Variation of duty cycle of the PWM
signal offers a voltages across the load in a specific pattern
which appear to the load as AC signal. A pure sin wave is
attained after passing the signal through a low pass filter
[25]. The pattern at which the duty cycle of a PWM signal
varies can be realized using simple analogue components or
a digital microcontroller [20]. Either of the two basic
topologies generate sinusoidal PWM that controls the output
of the inverter [1]. The full bridge converter can be used to
generate two different PWM pulse trains depending on the
switching scheme implemented. The two schemes are called
bipolar and unipolar switching [6], [7], [13], [15], [22].
2.1.1 Bipolar Switching Scheme
A full bridge converter which uses a bipolar switching
scheme is called a two level converter.

With a bipolar switching scheme, the full bridge converter
only has two switching states as the junction voltage (Vj)
switches from +Vdc to -Vdc using PWM. When used as a two
level converter the full bridge converter uses the switching
scheme outlined in Table I the resulting pulsed output is
displayed in Fig 3. Figure 4 displays the carrying current
paths at each switching state [6].

2.1.2 Unipolar Switching Scheme
A full bridge converter which uses unipolar switching is
called a three level converter. A unipolar switching scheme
is where the output of the converter (Vj) switches between
+Vdc and zero during the positive half wave and between
and – Vdc and zero during the negative half wave.

Unlike bipolar switching, unipolar switching requires at
least three different switching states as the junction voltage
(Vj) can be either +Vdc, -Vdc or zero although most inverters
implement four switching states by having a different
switching combination to create the zero junction voltage
for each half wave. This to evenly distribute the use of
switches making heating symmetrical and thereby reducing
losses [6], [19].
A number of different unipolar switching schemes exist for
full bridge topologies with associated advantages and
disadvantages regarding PV array voltage, switching losses
and complexity of control signal generation [23].
The three unipolar switching schemes implemented by full
bridge topologies that schemes and associated switching
states and orders are presented in Table 2, 3 & 4.

Fig - 5: Unipolar (Four Level) Switching Scheme
The main difference between the three presented unipolar
switching schemes is the implementation of different free-
wheeling states during each half wave. While both one
phase chopping methods operate similarly with the only
difference being that type B implements a different
switching state for the freewheeling state of each half wave,
the standard method is subtly different because both
freewheeling states occur in the same half wave [6].
The resulting pulsed output of the one phase chopping
scheme (type B) is displayed in Fig 5. The associated current
paths are displayed in Fig 6 [6].
One of the main advantage of executing a unipolar switching
scheme compared to a bipolar scheme is that the switching
losses are significantly reduced due to the allied voltage
drop of switching from one state to another.
One drawback of executing a unipolar switching scheme is
that, there are higher associated harmonic content in the
output current round the zero crossing (particularly at
lower power levels).

3. SIMULATION OF PV CONNECTED TO THE
SINGLE PHASE FULL BRIDGE INVERTER
Fig – 7: Simulink model of PV System connected to the
single phase Full Bridge Inverter
Fig 7 shows the PV system simulation. The output of the
Buck Boost converter is connected to the single-phase
inverter and the inverter output is fed to the AC grid. The
simulation of the single phase photovoltaic system is
realized by adding a single phase full bridge inverter from
the Simulink block toolbox.
The Simulink block diagram of the current control loop is
shown in Fig 8. First of all an external voltage signal
corresponding to the grid voltage is fed into a discrete
single- phase phase-locked-loop (PLL). The gain at the
input of PLL is recycled to normalize the actual voltage
signal. The output of the PLL block produces a reference sin
wave. This Sine wave together with the gain block is used to
create the reference current.
Fig – 8: Simulink model of the grid current control scheme
Current measured from the inverter output and created
reference current is compared and the error from the output
of comparator is given to the discrete PID controller. Here
proportional gain taken is Kp = 100, Integral Ki = 200,
and derivative gain Kd = 0. Controller output is added
with ac voltage feed forward from the inverter. This output
is the reference grid voltage, which separated by the DC
source voltage with the use of gain block, it also
provides the duty cycle for the inverter.

4. CONCLUSIONS
Photovoltaic current is gradually decreases from short
circuit current 5.2A to the 5.17A and after this it remain
constant [Fig. 9].
Photovoltaic voltage increases from zero to 32.8 volt &
after this value it remains constant [Fig. 10].
Maximum power output from the photovoltaic
module is 169.5W which is almost equal to Pmpp given
into the data-sheet [Fig. 11].
Buck-boost converter output voltage is boosted up from
32.8 volt to 200 volt [Fig.12].
Switching losses are significantly reduced due to the
allied voltage drop of switching from one state to
another in unipolar switching scheme.
The PV module gives the maximum power, voltage and
current independent of the load.
The power loses incurred at the converter stage is
reimbursed at inverter stage.
Thus the overall efficiency and reliability of the
photovoltaic system is improved.
