ABSTRACT Electricity companies typically possess numerous units and they need to commit unit because electricity cannot be stored in a large-scale system and demand is a random variable process fluctuating with the time of the day and the day of the week. A problem that must be frequently resolved by electricity utility is to economically... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT A switch is an imperative constituent of any electronic or electrical circuit. It can either be mechanical, electro-mechanical or electronic. Mechanical and electro mechanical switches are prone to wear and tear with time. The introduction of semiconductors has led to the invention of electronic switches that are more efficient, fast and... Continue Reading
Abstract Optimal capacitor placement is concerned with the optimal location of capacitors in a distribution system such that energy losses are reduced to a minimal value and the voltage profile and power factor of the system is improved. The reactive power can be controlled in order to improve the voltage profile and minimize the system loss.... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Industrial drive applications are generally classified into constant-speed and variable-speed drives. Traditionally, AC machines have been used in constant-speed applications and DC machines were preferred for variable-speed. Induction machine with drive systems are widely used in applications such as pumps, paper and textile mills,... Continue Reading
The power system is a highly nonlinear system that operates in a constantly changing environment; loads, generator outputs, voltage controllers, transmission lines, topology, and key operating parameters change continually. The behavior and output of the generators can be affected in a transient conditions. This transient condition can change the... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The conversion of an input AC power at a given frequency and voltage to an output power at different frequency and voltage can be obtained with static circuits called power converters, containing controllable power electronic devices. Various power converters have been developed to fulfill the requirements of the wind power generation.... Continue Reading
Commutation failures are very frequent dynamic events in high voltage dc (HVDC) transmission systems. Commutation failure is mostly observed at the inverter side of HVDC links, where large firing angles are used. The minimum value of the extinction angle required for the proper operation of a valve is specified by the valve manufacturer; however,... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The document outlines an investigation done in order to study Fifth Generation (5G) systems and to identify a role that satellite systems will play in contribution to the many advanced and diverse demands on existing telecommunication networks. This next generation network is a build-up and phenomenal improvement in wireless communication... Continue Reading
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies have been widely used in many areas, e.g., the charging of electric toothbrush, mobile phones, and electric vehicles. This project introduces fundamental principles of three WPT technologies, i.e., inductive coupling-based WPT, magnetic resonant coupling-based WPT, and electromagnetic radiation-based WPT,...

ABSTRACT A traffic light also known as a traffic signal, stop light and go light, robot or semaphore is a signally device positioned at four (cross) junction, pedestrian crossing or other locations in other to indicate when it is safe to drive or walk using a universal color code ( and in precise sequence for those that are color blind). Traffic... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The present invention relates to an improved control system for starting a three phase induction motor comprises improved power contactors configured to have a pair of three pole delta and main contactors, and a single pole star contactor for supplying AC power to star position and delta position, a timer for controlling AC power supply...

ABSTRACT An induction or asynchronous motor is a type of AC motor where power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction, rather than by slip rings and commutators as in slip-ring AC motors. Single phase induction motor is the most familiar of all electric motors & they are similar to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. It... Continue Reading

Abstract The project DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 20-METRE DISTANCE REMOTELY CONTROLLED METAL DETECTOR is used for detecting metallic objects such as phones, bombs, and other metallic objects that are hidden from view. The design is based on the principle of the Resonant Frequency Oscillator (RFO) metal detectors in which oscillation is... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project deals with the design and development of restaurant order meal system, in order to reduce the number of staff. In meal ordering project, you can request for any kind of food or drinks available in the restaurant which contains the menu embedded in each button. Microcontroller is the central processing unit CPU of this project... Continue Reading
The aim of the project is to design a renewable energy system that can meet the current and projected electricity demands for the island of Great Cumbrae. This should be achieved by providing a stable electricity output and the meet the calculated total annual base load supply of 11.29 GWh. In addition to providing a stable supply of...

Abstract In this work, a 2.8kva alternator was coupled to a 4 H.P dc motor acting as a prime mover to produce a fuel-less generator. The coupling was done using two crankshaft pulleys to match the speed of the alternator to that of the dc motor. Two 24v dc deep cycle batteries were also used as the exciter unit and a sustainable output voltage of... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Cell phones need electric sources to charge their batteries in order to work, but there are people in developing and third world countries that find it hard to access electric sources.In an attempt to provide an alternative means of charging to those unfortunate areas in third world and developing countries, a solar powered cell phone...
