Abstract: Due to increase in demand of electricity as use of devices that consume electricity increases. The major problem is to meet this demand of electricity. However, the electricity supply has become saturated due some factors such as social, environmental and geographical. To fulfill these problems and to meet the electricity demand there are two ways such as via micro grids and distributed generation (DGs). Microgrid works with two operating modes of operation such as grid integrated mode and islanded mode of operation. In case of grid connected operation, micro grid is connected to main grid having large system inertia which helps to maintain micro grid frequency almost to nominal value.............

Keywords: Active power sharing, distributed generation (DG), islanded micro grid, self-frequency recovery.

Abstract: In today's world we are facing various issues regarding energy. In some places plenty of energy is available still they doesn't have the proper techniques to conserve that energy for greater efficiency. There are various form available for generation of electricity. Those forms are conventional and may harm most to the environment. In our primary and secondary studies we have studied that energy can be generated by basically two types' conventional type and non-conventional type. The main objective is non-conventional generation. Many of us knows that we can generate plenty amount of energy through non-conventional sources. But we all know that generating energy through........

Abstract: Automation is rapidly taking place in the present technology and agricultural field is not exception for it. Automation will be beneficial to development in agricultural field and comfort for farmers also. In this project we have automated the machine for cutting the weeds. The device consists of cutter operated under the control of microcontroller 8051 whereas power supply for the motor is by using battery which can be charge by solar panel. In case of any obstacles in the path it is sensed by using an IR sensor. This is fully automatic and renewable energy based project. Solar energy is used along with 12V battery and dc-dc converter and stored in the battery. Here we are using sensor based technique for sensing the position and obstacles in the path. This is an environment friendly project.

Abstract: Energy more specifically electrical energy remains the most vital topic in the current condition of the developing world. In India in order to meet the growing demand of this electrical energy numbers of generating stations are set up across the countries. The improper use of electricity and lack of accessibility is a barrier in bridging the gap between the generation and ever growing demand. Many industrial organisations and various institutions draw a lot of power from the grid but fail to utilise it in an efficient and economical way. Many a times it is a case that this................

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of fuzzy and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based PID controllers for liquid level control of two tank non-interacting system. The main aim is to minimize system performance specifications, such as rise time, settling time, peak time and peak overshoot. Initially a fuzzy controller is applied and then to achieve further improvement in performance PSO is chosen. It is observed that the PSO gives better and satisfactory response than fuzzy controller.

Abstract: The life of LED driver is mainly dependent on the component used in it. Elimination of electrolytic capacitor is done so that the life of LED driver will increase, if an ac-dc LED driver with power factor correction control is used than the output will be a pulsating current for driving the LED. Since the pulsating current will introduce light flicker that varies double the power line frequency. In this paper, A flicker-free electrolytic capacitor less single-phase ac-dc driver for LED lighting is presented. The component used are PFC converter and bidirectional converter, which serves to absorb the ac component.............

Abstract: Nowadays, with an increase in the number of wind power plants, the rules for connecting these plants to the grid have been changed. Under the new standards, to maintain a frequency stability, the power variations of wind farms must be limited. For this reason, the use of the energy storage sources along with wind turbines have been proposed and many publications have been published on this subject. One of the energy storage systems is the hybrid energy storage system with battery and capacitor. In this paper, the control of the hybrid energy storage system with battery and capacitor for the PMSG based wind turbines has been investigated and a method is proposed to control and divide..............

Matrix converter can convert three phase AC input to three phase AC output with variable voltage amplitude and frequency directly, as it can produce any output frequency that is an integer multiple of the input frequency. The advantages of MC are such as lack of a dc link capacitor, bidirectional power-flow capability, sinusoidal input/output waveform, controllable input-power factor.................

Abstract: A method is described for optimizing the field stress on HV insulators by modifying their profile, seeking a uniform distribution of the tangential field along the insulator surface. This results in an increase of the onset voltage for surface flashover and in a significant saving of the space of the HV installation. The optimization process was achieved by an algorithm developed for calculating the tangential field component and mathematical expressions of the profile to be corrected through an iterative procedure. The algorithm was based on a modified charge simulation technique to satisfy a better matching of the boundary conditions to the electrode and insulator surfaces involved in the HV installation..............

Abstract: Gas Insulated systems (GIS) require solid insulating materials to provide mechanical support for conductors as well as to separate two compartments. Hence there is a need for control of electric field stresses at spacer surface in order to reduce internal discharges also surface discharges to the enclosure surface. As several failures in GIS system have been reported in many installations around the world. A high percentage of these failures are due to improper design of the spacers shape or manufacturing defects. The breakdown of SF6 gas insulation is adversely affected by the presence of spacer especially at the interface point formed by solid insulating spacer and SF6 gas ...............
