All these motors consume electricity so need a corresponding amount of energy to provide the torque or speed needed. If the torque or speed is too high or low, mechanical controls are used to control output. A motor’s speed should match exactly what is required by the process, otherwise the result is inefficiency with a lot of wasted materials and energy.
Not knowing how to control motors can mean a lot of energy gets wasted which isn’t good for any business. A way to control these motors, which not only saves energy, but improves productivity and reduces maintenance costs, is to use an inverter.

IRJET- Phase Conversion of VFD based Induction MotorIRJET Journal
This document discusses using a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control the speed of a three-phase induction motor. A VFD allows the motor to operate at variable speeds, which can provide energy savings compared to operating at a single rated speed. The VFD converts incoming single-phase power to three-phase power using a rectifier to produce DC power, then an inverter uses pulse width modulation to generate a three-phase AC output that can be varied in frequency to control motor speed. This setup allows flexible control of the induction motor's speed while improving efficiency over constant speed operation.

It then discusses advantages of electrical drives and factors to consider when selecting a drive. The document proceeds to cover control of DC motors through phase controlled rectifiers, including single phase and three phase semi-controlled and fully controlled converters connected to DC motors. It concludes by discussing speed control of DC motors through various braking methods and four quadrant operation using dual converters.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
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.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

• A VFD can be used to control both the speed and torque of a
standard induction AC electric motor.
• It varies both the frequency and voltage of the AC waveform being
delivered to the motor saving money in electricity.
Basic components of a VFD:
• Input section, draws AC electric power from the utility, Rectifier
section, converts the AC into DC power.
• Inverter section, converts DC back into a controllable AC
waveform.
4. VFDs help to limit demand and electrical consumption of
motors by reducing the amount of energy they consume.
◦ Standard motors are constant speed and when they are
energized they run at a 100% no matter the load.
◦ Soft Start.
◦ Only use energy you need.

14. The most common electric motor found in industrial and
commercial application is the AC induction motor. Induction
motors work by electrically inducing an electro-magnetic pole
into the rotor. The magnetic field that surrounds the rotor
appears to rotate which has the effect of pulling the rotor in
the direction of rotation. The speed of the rotation is
determined by the frequency of the applied alternating
current - change the frequncy and the rotor speed is
changed. This is the function of the variable frequency drive
(VFD or AC drive).

17. • All VFD’s need a power section tha converts AC power into
DC power.
• This is called the converter bridge.
• Sometimes the front end of the VFD, the converter is
commonly a three-phase, full wave-diode bridge.
• The DC bus is the true link between the converter and inverter
sections of the drive.
