| Siting & Sizing of Dg for Power Loss & Thd Reduction, Voltage Improvement Using Pso & Sensitivity Analysis | ||||||||||||
Integration of renewable energy based distributed generation (DG) units provides potential benefits
to the conventional distribution systems. DG sources are becoming more prominent due the incremental
demands of electrical energy. Location and capacities of DG sources have profoundly impact on the system
losses in the distribution network. In this paper, Sensitivity Analysis is used for determining the location of DG
and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used as the optimization technique for determining the size
of DG in the distribution networks in order to reduce the real power losses of the system. To include the
presence of harmonics, PSO was integrated with a harmonic power flow algorithm (HPF). The proposed PSOHPF
based approach is implemented on standard IEEE 15 bus test system to demonstrate effectiveness of the
proposed methodology.

Power Management in a Standalone Solar/ Fuel cell/ Battery Hybrid Power system |
||||||||||||
This paper explains the design of a standalone Solar/ Fuel cell/ Battery hybrid power system which
involves the design of individual systems along with the power management circuit. The variation of solar
insolation according to the time and the Maximum Power Point Tracking's (MPPT) Perturb and Observe (P&O)
algorithm is considered in the design of solar system. Similarly, the control of fuel flow rate according to the
load and a DC- DC converter is considered in the design of the fuel cell system. A battery charger is designed to
protect the battery from the over and under charging from source and load respectively. All these power sources
are controlled by the power management circuit, controlling the relays of each subsystem according to the load
demand.

Ce travail présente le développement d'un modèle de réseau de neurones artificiel (RNA) de type
Perceptron Multi-Couches (PMC) pour la prédiction du taux d‟humidité de la zone de Chefchaouen. Notre
objectif c‟est traiter une série chronologique des données mesurées entre les années 2008 et 2013 pour évaluer
la réponse du réseau. Cette série est constituée d‟un certain nombre de paramètres météorologiques telles que le
taux d‟humidité, la température de l‟air, la température de rosée, la pression atmosphérique, la visibilité, la
nébulosité, la vitesse du vent et la précipitation. Pour déterminer l‟architecture du réseau à utiliser, nous avons
varié le nombre des couches cachées, le nombre de neurones dans la couche cachée, les fonctions de transfert et
les couples de fonctions de transfert ainsi que les algorithmes d‟apprentissage. Plusieurs critères statistiques
comme l‟erreur quadratique moyenne (MSE) et le coefficient de corrélation (R), ont été étudiés pour
l‟évaluation des modèles développés. Les meilleurs résultats ont été obtenus avec un réseau d‟architecture
[7-5-1], les fonctions d‟activations (Tansig-Purelin) et un algorithme d‟apprentissage de Levenberg-Marquardt.

| DVR Using Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter with Multicarrier Based Pulse Width Modulation Technique | ||||||||||||
The Quality of the output power from the utilities has become a major concern of the modern
industries. These power quality associated problems are voltage sag, surge, flicker, voltage imbalance,
interruptions and harmonic problems. These power quality problems may cause problems to the industries
ranging from malfunctioning of equipment to complete plant shut down. It has been identified that power
quality can be degraded both due to utility side abnormalities as well as the customer side abnormalities.
Voltage sag and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent
type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe.
Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive loads against such disturbances but Dynamic
Voltage Restorer (DVR) is considered to be the most efficient and effective solution. In this project, Dynamic
Voltage Restorer (DVR) is implemented using fifteen level diode clamped multilevel inverter with Phase
Opposition Disposition (POD) and Alternate phase opposition disposition pulse width modulation(APOD). In
POD technique, four carrier waveforms are arranged so that all carrier waveforms above zero are in phase and
they are 180 degrees out of phase with those below zero. In APOD technique, Carriers are arranged in such a
manner that each carrier is out of phase with its neighbor by 180 degrees. The gate signals for the chosen
inverter can be derived directly from the PWM signals .This is the difference between the POD and APOD multi carrier PWM technique. The main aim is to reduce the harmonic distortion and to mitigate the voltage sag. Thus the Power quality of the proposed system is expected to improve. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK to verify the performance of the proposed method. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Phase Disposition PWM(PDPWM), Phase Opposition

| Correct by Construction design approach through mapping B models into VHDL | ||||||||||||
B method is one of the common paradigms used in formal verification. It offers a strong verification
domain as it based on a mathematical and logical approach. The proof obligations (properties that must be
satisfied) are automatically generated from the model, also the available tools provides both automatic and
interactive proofs. VHDL is a mature implementation domain where many synthesis and simulation tools are
available. The work in this paper presents a technique to convert B machines into the corresponding VHDL
implementation in order to implement a correct by construction system, which benefits from the advantages of
both strong domains, and maintain the properties of the verified model. We reached for a method to cross the gap and convert the B machines into VHDL implementations and a tool was designed to apply the proposed technique. Five popular models were used as workbenches where we applied the developed technique. Simulation at some critical points was used to ensure that the generated VHDL satisfy the verified properties in the original B machine. Verification, B models, VHDL, correct by construction, real-time.

| Urban Land Use Dynamics And Its Future Prospectus (A Case Study Of Jammu City) | ||||||||||||
India is poised to have nearly 50% of population living in urban areas in next decade and that poses
a challenge for the urban development and renewal task. With large scale urbanization, comes the need to plan
and develop urban areas in a logical manner, invest in infrastructure and improve the quality of life in our cities.
There is an urgent need to address the downside of proliferating slums, increasing homelessness, growing urban
poverty, of relentless march of pollution and ecological damage. One of the major requirements for urban development
is to have the accurate and timely information – information in geo-spatial forms that allows generation
and use of different maps, GIS data and applications. Every urban area needs GIS – a comprehensive mapbased
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) that powers urban planning and urban management. This project
examines the use of Geospatial approach in mapping of urban sprawl between 1972-2011 (a period of 40 years)
and temporal land use /land cover change detection (A case study of Jammu City, 2011-2012) so as to detect
changes that has been taken place between these periods. Subsequently, an attempt was made at projecting the
observed urban built-up in between 2011 to 2041.

| Comparative Study of Fluid Coupling for Oil and water as working fluid | ||||||||||||
This paper is a review of research work on working fluid of fluid coupling. the properties of filling
fluid plays a vital role in operation of fluid coupling, in current scenario general fluid using in fluid coupling is
lubricating oil which has high viscosity and less density. Hence the power transmission by fluid coupling has
less efficient due to high viscosity of oil. In this paper we are using water as a working fluid for fluid coupling
which has less viscosity and high density comparative to conventional fluid coupling filling lubricating oil.

| Study of Soft-Switched Isolated DC-DC Converters for Auxiliary Railway Supply Using DC Machine | ||||||||||||
In modern railways coaches, the electrical separation between the high voltage side and the auxiliary
equipments on the consumer side is realized by means of heavy and bulky 50-Hz Transformers. In order to
reduce the weight and size of the devices, today new power supply systems are proposed that consist in softswitched
isolated dc-dc converters with a lightweight medium frequency transformer and diverse output
modules supplied by a common 600-V dc intermediate circuit. This paper aims to investigate in detail two such
solutions of isolated dc-dc converters for auxiliary railway supply where zero-current transitions are achieved
for the primary inverter switches.

| Towards a Ship Structural Optimisation Methodology at Early Design Stage | ||||||||||||
Ship structural optimisation with mathematical algorithms can be very helpful to find the best
solution (minimum weight, minimum cost, maximum inertia, etc). Typically, finite element analysis (FEA) tools
are used in ship structural assessment. But, to build FEM model from CAD one is not easy and needs a big
amount of manual work. This paper presents an innovative optimisation workflow by which the following steps
are automatically carried out, without any manual intervention. First, from 3D CAD model, the idealised CAD
model is created by idealisation module taking into account FEM needs. Then, the idealised CAD model is
transferred to a FEM tool. After that, the FEM model is meshed, loaded and solved. The obtained results (i.e.
stress and weight) are transferred to optimiser tool. The optimiser evaluates the values of the objective function and the constraints previously defined and modifies the design variables (i.e. plate thickness and stiffener scantling) to create a new structural model, going to the next iteration of the loop. This process continues until the optimal solution is reached. Ship structure; Optimisation methodology; FEM; CAD; BESST.
