Paper Code 03: Effect of Bentonite on Viscosity of Cement Grout

Thasneem S and Kannan K

One of the main characteristics of a grout mix is its viscosity or the resistance to flow. In this paper,

the marsh cone funnel test or marsh viscosity test is conducted and the effect of bentonite on

viscosity of cement grout mix (with different water cement ratios) is determined. An attempt is made

to compare the results of some previously done works of other researchers on the effect of water

cement ratio on viscosity of cement grout mix, cement based biopolymer HPMC, and a chemical

polymer chebulic myrobalan. The results showed that with increasing w/c ratio, the viscosity

reduced; although cement bentonite grout mix had relatively higher viscosity than the rest of the test

grouts.

Paper Code 05: Implementation Guidelines for Product Data Management Software in

Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Industry

Sam George and David K

Evolution of Engineering, Procurement and Construction industry has led to the coming up of

challenging projects with very stiff timelines, razor thin margins and facilities to interact with stake

holders working in geographically dispersed locations on an online mode. This has necessitated the

confluence of information technology in this domain with facilities for mapping the entire industry

operations which includes process mapping, project planning, progress updation, project tracking and

consolidated reporting facility for scrutinized data extraction from a central database. Any

customizable domain specific research in this technology can pave the way for full-fledged

construction automation with its explicit customizable features.

Paper Code 09: Characterization of Atmospheric Aerosols at High Altitude Site for Cloud

Impact

Shika S and Sachin S. Gunthe

Atmospheric aerosol particles play an important role in climate and Earth system with direct and

indirect effect where latter is associated with mediating cloud properties, lifetime, and precipitation.

Thus the total aerosol effect is responsible for the magnitude of uncertainty in the current

understanding of climate change.

In the present study, particle number size distribution in the size range of 5.12 nm – 34 nm was

measured in Munnar, which is a high altitude pristine location in tropical southern India. The

measurements were carried out during 10 May – 18 July, 2013, covering the transition season from

pre-monsoon to monsoon. The averaged number concentration during the entire measurement

Munnar was 583 cm-3 with aerosol concentrations decreasing from pre-monsoon to monsoon period

due to the wet deposition. The NAit/NAccu ratio was greater than unity indicating the presence of more

freshly emitted particles and irrespective of the seasons the occurrence of Aitken mode particles

remained the same. To understand the cloud formation regimes, the simulations using cloud parcel

model were performed and Munnar was classified as aerosol limited regime. Thus, availability of

robust long-term high time and size resolution data from the measurement network is necessary to

feed in to process models, which could be further used to regional and global model in the direction

to reduce the climate uncertainty over this climatically important part of the globe, where 18% of

world’s total population is residing.

Paper Code 12: Effect of Organic Matter on the Index Properties of Soil at Munroe Island

Felma Fernandez and Twinkle Vinu

The main objective of this study is to find out the relationship between the index properties and the

organic content of the sample soil. Organic soils are considered as problematic soils as they possess

low shear strength, high compressibility, high void ratio, high water content and are found across

Kerala. These properties tend to name these soils as problematic soils and they often tend to cause

foundation failures and other problems to structures constructed on them. This paper presents the

effect of organic matter on the index properties of natural organic soil. An analysis of the

relationship between organic matter and grain-specific gravity and pH of the soil was carried out by

testing the natural soil in the laboratory. The soil sample for the test was collected from Munroe

Islands and is typical of fine grained sediments of silt sized particles. It was found that there exists a

linear relationship between the index properties (specific gravity and pH) and the organic matter.

Paper Code 15: Amended Landfill Liner using Bentonite and Nano Silica

Nisha S.L., and Riya Roy

Landfill liners are provided to prevent the movement of leachate to underground water. So the

materials which are used should have low hydraulic conductivity. This study is an attempt to use the

site soil, Nano silica and bentonite mixture as a potential liner. In this, the variation in properties

such as hydraulic conductivity, dry density, OMC etc. was studied by mixing Nano silica and

bentonite with site soil in various percentages. The results show that the mix M6 has the least

hydraulic conductivity that satisfies the property of a liner. Also due to the increase in Nano silica

and bentonite content the OMC increases and dry density decreases. Therefore the property of mixes

shows that it can be used as a liner in the landfill.

Paper Code 17: Interference Behaviour of Adjacent Footings on Homogenous Clay Medium

Aqila Abdul Khader, JayamohanJayaraj and Soorya S.R.

Due to limited space available for construction of structures and heavy loads to be supported,

foundations are placed close to each other due to which the footings at the site interact with each

other, and the behaviour is thus not similar to that of an individual footing. This study aims to

determine experimentally the effect of interference of closely spaced shallow footings (strip

footings), resting on clayey soil, on the bearing capacity. The model tests are carried out at different

centre to centre spacing between the footings (S). The results indicated that the ultimate bearing

capacity of interfering footings increased up to a certain critical spacing between the footings and

thereafter decreased. The results are presented in terms of efficiency factor (ξγ) and their variation

with respect to change in spacing between the footings is computed.

Paper Code 19: Load Transfer Mechanism along the Length of Piles

Aparna K S Nair, Jayamohan J, and Kannan K

Pile foundations are necessary where the bearing capacity of surface soil is not adequate to support

the loads imposed by a structure and those loads need to be transferred to deeper layers with higher

bearing capacity. In this, extensive investigations are made to study the load transfer mechanism

along the length of individual piles, by carrying out a series of laboratory scale pile load test. The

results of load test are compared with those obtained from conventional mathematical model for

validation. The parameter studied are effect of length of the pile, diameter of the pile on the

proportion of load resisted by skin friction, end bearing.

Paper Code 23: Effect of Urea on pH and Unconfined Compressive Strength of Different Soils

Jasmine B S and Rani V

Fertilizer contamination is one of the most serious types of soil contamination. The need of the

modern industrial societies to increase agricultural production and to maintain the good

characteristics of fresh foods for longer periods of time, has led to an increase in the use of fertilizers.

A fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plant tissues to

supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants .The inadequate use of these

substances may provoke not only the contamination of soil, but also the contamination of

groundwater. This study is focused on the variation in pH and unconfined compressive strength of

urea contaminated soils. The soils used are kaolinite, sodium bentonite and sand.

Paper Code 33: Study On pH And Cation Exchange Capacity Of Contaminated Clay

Sruthi B Dharan and Rani V

Soil pollution as a part of land degradation is caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals or

improper disposal of waste. The most common chemicals involved are petroleum hydrocarbons,

polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, various salts of chemicals, solvents, pesticide, sulfate, lead and

other heavy metals. Due to contamination there will be changes in both geotechnical as well as

chemical characteristics of soil. The change in pH value 8of soil due to the presence of contaminants

in the soil is the basic parameter to identify the degree of contamination in soil. It has a great

influence on geotechnical and chemical characteristics of native soil. Another important aspect is the

study of cation exchange capacity (CEC) which is relevant to protect the ground water from cation

contamination. The study shows the variations in pH due to the presence of various contaminants

such as pore fluids, salts on low plasticity clay. Also the variation in CEC of salt contaminated soil

under varying pH was also studied.

Rakesh K R and Rani V

A laboratory study was carried out on sandy soil contaminated with used motor oil. The testing

program was carried out to establish the effect of used motor oil on the geotechnical properties of the

material. The geotechnical properties altered due to contamination. The shear strength parameters

and hydraulic conductivities of both clean and contaminated sand were studied. Contaminated

samples were prepared by mixing sandy soil with 5, 10 and 15% by weight of used motor oil. The

results obtained showed the shear strength and hydraulic conductivity of sand decreased with

increase in contamination of used motor oil.

Paper Code 40: State-of-the-Art Review on Cold Formed Steel Lipped Channel Beams with

Web Openings

Bisto Tom and Smitha M. S

Cold formed steel members are widely used in residential, industrial and commercial buildings

around the world as structural elements. Lipped channel beams (LCB) are thin walled structures,

commonly used as flexural members forming floor and roof systems in buildings. LCBs can be

subjected to specific buckling and failure modes such as shear, web crippling and distortional

buckling. The detrimental effects of web holes on LCBs can be reduced by the use of stiffeners such

as edge, bearing, plate etc. The effects of providing a stiffener system in lipped channel sections with

web openings on the shear and web crippling strength is being analysed. This report presents a

review of investigations on cold formed steel channel sections with holes in the web element to study

their behaviour on failure modes.

Paper Code 51: A Review on Nanoparticle Incorporated Low Calcium Fly Ash Based

Geopolymer Concrete

Navina Gopalakrishnan and Rajesh K. N

Geopolymer concrete, also called as ‘green’ concrete, has much more enhanced properties than

conventional concrete. But its necessity to be heat cured has limited its use to precast structures. The

utilisation of nanotechnology resulting in a wider potential for application of geopolymer concrete is

discussed in this paper. This paper presents a comprehensive overview on the effects of nanoparticles

on low calcium fly ash based geopolymer concrete. However, extensive use of nano materials in

construction industry leads to larger exposure to such particles. This could result in toxic effects. The

harmful effects due to severe exposure to nano particles and the necessary precautions to be taken are

also discussed.

Paper Code 52: A Review on Strength Behaviour of Fly Ash based Geopolymer Concrete with

Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Steel Slag

Deepthi C and B. Rajeevan

The development of sustainable and environment friendly construction materials has gained major

attention by the construction industry. The present day research is focused on development of

alternative materials that can completely or partially eliminate the use of cement and steel in concrete

due to huge emissions of greenhouse gases during their production. The present study aims to

conduct an experimental study to investigate the influence of steel slag which is a by-product from

steel industry, which partially replace the coarse aggregate on fly ash based geo-polymer concrete.

The mechanical properties are to be tested with steel slag proportions of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% in

geopolymer concrete after 3, 7 and 28 days of curing. A total of 15 specimens each are to be cast to

test compressive strength, split tensile strength and modulus of rupture. A comparative study of

performance of geopolymer concrete without any replacement of coarse aggregate is also to be

carried out. It is expected that this partial replacement of coarse aggregates with steel slag in

geopolymer concrete will result in its improved mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete.

Paper Code 57: A Review on Strength Behaviour of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Confined

with Ferrocement Laminate

Lekshmi S Thilakan and Saji K.P

Depletion of natural resources has led researchers to focus on recycling of construction and

demolition wastes. Recycled aggregates are the material for the future. The use of recycled aggregate

concrete is limited due to its disadvantages like lower strength and poorer durability. These inferior

properties can be overcome by using confinement (both interior and exterior) methods, which

significantly increases its compressive strength. Commonly adopted material for confinement of

concrete structures is fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). However, it is very expensive and installation

of FRP laminates requires highly skilled labour. Ferrocement is an old technology, due to its ease of

fabrication, it is extensively used as a material for construction of water tanks, slab panels and

roofing materials in both developed and developing countries. Lower self-weight and higher ductility

are the most distinct features of ferrocement. It also has better toughness, fatigue resistance and

impermeability compared to reinforced concrete structures. This technique can be effectively utilised

for strengthening and repairing of existing concrete structures.

Paper Code 58: A Review on Performance of Sawdust Ash in Geopolymer Concrete as Partial

Replacement for Flyash

Krishna J and B. Rajeevan

The current trend of researches is to develop geopolymer systems that create a low embodied energy,

low carbon dioxide binder that has similar properties to portland cement. Geopolymer concrete

brings economy in construction, reduce pollution and less harmful to the environment. To make

geopolymer concrete more user-friendly studies are being conducted widely with easily available and

more economical materials. The main binder in geopolymer concrete is considered as fly ash. Since

the chemical bonding in the matrix is completely based on the polymerization reactions, other

materials with almost similar properties can be used as alternative for flyash. According to some

studies the sawdust ash is found to have properties similar to that of fly ash. Hence the feasibility of

using sawdust ash as a replacement for fly ash in geopolymer concrete is dealing here.

Biji Balan and B. Rajeevan

The development of environment friendly and economical construction materials has become the

major objective in the construction industry. The present day research is focused on development of

materials to strengthen the conventional concrete. A lot of innovations are done in the field of

construction mainly on fiber reinforced concrete. Together with cost reduction and as a method of

disposal, scrap tyre derived products are used in concrete to obtain modified concrete. This review is

a comparison between commercial synthetic fiber reinforced cementitious compound and scrap tyre

fiber reinforced cementitious compound. Different properties like durability, plastic shrinkage

cracks, permeability and and abrasion resistance is compared. There is a scope of using scrap tyre

fiber in concrete for improved properties.

Paper Code 60: A Review on Recycled Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete with Partial

Replacement of Cement with Saw Dust Ash

Aswathi K and Saji K P

It has been found that the cement in concrete can be replaced by various waste products by partially

or completely. Various studies show that replacing cement by saw dust ash partially, the strength of

concrete decreases with increasing replacement percentage. No studies have been conducted to

enhance the loss of strength by the replacement of cement with saw dust ash. This study aims to

check whether the loss of strength in concrete by partial replacement of cement with saw dust ash

can be reduced by reinforcing it with another waste product, recycled steel fibre.

Paper Code 66: Experimental Investigation on Hysteretic Performance of Semi Through

Connection in CFT Columns under Cyclic Loading

Ajith M. S., Beena K. P. and S. Sheela.

The concrete filled tubes (CFT) have the complete utilization of strength of its components both steel

and concrete due to its peculiar positioning. The presence of outer steel improves the confinement of

concrete which leads to high stiffness and strength, where as core concrete will support the steel tube

from local buckling and enhance the overall performance. The application of CFT is limited due to

the lack of design guidelines for the joint between CFT and structural steel beams especially in

seismic regions. This paper attempts to evaluate the performance of an exterior beam column joint

under cyclic loading by investigating the strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation.

junction when slabs are directly connected to the columns. This report contains a review of punching

shear behaviour of slabs available in literature. Percentage of shear reinforcement, fiber volume, size

etc. are the main factors studied by researchers which affect punching shear resistance of concrete

slabs. Also the inaccuracy of existing codal provisions in predicting punching shear of ferrocement

slabs have also been mentioned in previous studies. This report also presents a brief review on

structural behaviour of ferrocement-concrete composite slabs with tension zone cover and

compression zone cover.

Latency and Level of Automation in a Multi-Robot Teleoperated Search and Rescue Task

Hunter Rogers, Amro Khasawneh, Jeffrey Bertrand and Kapil Chalil Madathil

Tele-operation of a robotic system provides the opportunity to complete uncomfortable and

hazardous tasks without endangering human operators. Teleoperated robotic systems are increasingly

incorporating features where one operator could control multiple robotic systems [1]. However, even

with more widely available bandwidth and fiber optic technology, latency (time delay or lag) in the

visual feedback for an operator remains a critical issue in tele-operated systems. This article aims to

investigate the effects of latency on search and rescue tasks at various levels of complexity and

determine if an increased level of automation can mitigate these effects. There was a difference in

mean performance based on the level of automation found in preliminary results.

Akhil P Jais and Kiran K John

The braking system and hub forms the most critical system of any automotive vehicles which should

have unmatched efficiency. The braking system should have the potential to lock all the four wheels

at a time of application of force on the brake pedal and should slow down and bring the vehicle into

ultimate rest. The hub along with braking system should be functioned to with stand all the static and

dynamic loads comes into action while in race. Thus, the heat dissipation of brake discs and load

bearing capacity of hubs are of at most importance while designing them. Analysis were done on

Aluminium 7075 T6 and EN24 Steel for hub material selection and results were tabulated after

considering the cost of materials. The finite element analysis was conducted on the CAD model of

hub. The failure modes were identified and potential precautions were taken for the braking system.

This study was conducted for an ATV designed for the BAJA purposes. BAJA SAE is a national

S. Sivakumar, C.Velmurugan, R.Sanjai and P.Senthamil Selvan

Solar energy is a freely available renewable energy resource in nature. Solar drying technology

emerges as one of the vital processes in agricultural and industrial applications for drying of cereals,

pulses, spices, bricks in refractory’s and milk powder in dairy industry. Drying reduces the moisture

was recorded as 67.3% in the 0.04% graphene nano coated collector. The experimental observations

shows that the moisture content in the upper tray, middle tray and bottom tray reduces from 27% to

16.73%, 14.65% and11.32% respectively

Paper Code 06: Parallel Inverter Topology for Power Quality Enhanced Microgrid

Sabna P. K. and Manoj Kumar M.V.

The term “Microgrid” is becoming more commonplace in today’s power engineering architecture

vernacular. The controlled and coordinated operation of distributed generation (DG) units and energy

storage facilities form a microgrid. Microgrid can be operated synchronous with the traditional

centralized grid or function autonomously as physical and/or economic conditions dictate. Power

electronic interfaces enable interconnection of renewable energy sources to grid and maintain load

voltage under islanding mode. In addition to this custom power devices are also used in a microgrid

to maintain power quality. This paper presents a parallel inverter topology for microgrid applications

to perform two functions, namely active power injection and power quality improvement.

Instantaneous symmetrical component theory is used for reference current generation and pulse

width modulation is the switching strategy used to track the reference current.

Paper Code 13: Maximum Power Tracking and Power Sharing in PMSG Driven Wind Energy

Conversion System Connected to the Grid

Teena George, Tintu George T. and Jayaprakash P

This paper proposes an efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and power sharing by using

a three phase inverter for wind energy conversion system. It uses a wind turbine with direct driven

permanent magnet synchronous generator so as to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of the

system. From cut in speed to rated speed the maximum power point tracking is achieved by

controlling the generator speed using optimal tip speed ratio and from rated speed to cut out speed a

pitch angle controller is provided to make the power constant without affecting stability. By using

MPPT the turbine is operated with maximum power coefficient and hence at maximum power

output. The grid side controller ensures proper active and reactive power sharing with the grid. The

converter reference signals are obtained through Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) control and

the gate signal is generated by Carrier Based Pulse Width Modulation (CB-PWM). The wind turbine

and generator, converter and controller are modeled using MATLAB simulink and performance is

verified for maximum power point tracking and power sharing for a 40kVA, 415V WECS.

Motor Drives

Aswanth Lal , Jayaprakash P, Rajesh M and Ranjith Krishnan

This paper presents the overview of solar water pumping systems that are formulated for the better

efficiency. A conventional Solar PV Fed water pump uses ordinary DC motor. It needs regular

maintenance and has high commutation loss at high speed. A solar water pumping system consists of

mainly 3 components Photovoltaic panel, DC-DC Converter or DC-AC converter, and a motor drive.

There are different types of converter topologies and special machines with which many numbers of

combinations are reported. This paper mainly concentrates on motor drives like BLDC (Brushless

DC motor), PMSM (Permanent magnet Synchronous motor), SRM (Switched Reluctance motor) and

3-Phase Induction motor. The way in which these motors are operated for water pumping will

determine the wire to water efficiency of the system. So it is important to find an optimized working

topology for motors to get higher efficiency. The converter side of the system ensures that the power

being efficiently extracted from the PV and the motor drive is provided with exact voltage that it

needs. In this paper we also discuss about the cost effectiveness and working efficiency of solar

water pumping system

Anagha K and Jayaprakash P

Maximum power point tracking techniques (MPPTs) help to maximize the power output from a

solar photovoltaic (PV) system, and thereby maximize the efficiency of PV array. The objective of

MPPT is to ensure that the system operates at the maximum power point of the PV arrays. Thus, an

MPPT helps in minimizing cost of the overall system. This paper presents a review on the various

maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers for PV systems. Conventional MPPTs such as

incremental conductance (InCond), perturb and observe (P\&O), are compared along with soft

computing techniques such as fuzzy logic control, neural network based control and evolutionary

algorithms (EAs).The simulation results confirm that the conventional MPPTs such as P\&O and

InCond fails to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) during partial shading conditions

(PSC).

the view of evolution of multilevel inverter from conventional two level inverter with reduction in

device count, individual switching stresses (ISS), output voltage and Total Harmonic Distortion

(THD). Various MLI topologies with seven level voltage output and Sinusoidal Pulse Width

Modulation (SPWM) control is adopted for comparison purpose. Instead of adopting general

classification of MLIs based on DC source value (i.e. Symmetrical MLI and Asymmetrical MLI), the

newly reported topologies in addition with classical models (Diode clamped MLI, Capacitor clamped

MLI, and Cascaded H-bridge MLI) are presented in this paper. The simulation results models and

results in the MATLAB/Simulink platform is used to validate the results.

Protection of critical and sensitive loads from short duration voltage variations like sag, swell, and

interruption deserve great attention. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used

to mitigate the problems associated with short duration voltage variations. In this paper, unlike

conventional DVR, dynamic voltage restoration is achieved without the use of series injection

transformer. The transformerless DVR topology considered has several advantages over the

conventional DVR in terms of cost, size and power losses. Simulation results demonstrate the

is capable of boosting action along with inversion. QZSI is a one-stage power conditioner that

employs a capacitor-inductor network for connecting inverter to photovoltaic module. By means of

controlling shoot-through duty cycle, output voltage can be control. In comparison with ZSI, QZSI

Paper Code 41: Grid Connected Single-Inductor Series-Switch Five-Level Dual Buck Full

Bridge Inverter

Devika K and Asokan O V

The conventional inverters are used to convert DC from non-renewable sources to AC required for

grid. The problems faced by these inverters are unexpected occurrence of shoot-through within the

bridge arms and failure of reverse recovery during freewheeling mode. The dual buck inverters

(DBI) will not suffer the problems due to shoot through and reverse recovery. In order to improve the

efficiency and quality of output, dual buck multilevel inverters are used. They can provide better AC

output with lesser number of components than conventional multilevel inverters.

This paper presents a grid connected five-level dual buck full bridge inverter. A novel topology of

series-switch five-level dual buck full bridge with single inductor is proposed. The proposed

topology requires single inductor and hence the size is reduced. Simulation is carried out using

MATLAB/SIMULINK. A hardware prototype is tested and a five level AC output is obtained.

Paper Code 42: Converter with Power Factor Correction for Switched Reluctance Motor Drive

Sanma Madhu and K Sangeetha

In this paper the power factor correction (PFC) using switched capacitor (SC) converter is done. The

converter helps to improve the power factor at the input ac side. Asymmetrical converter topology of

switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has been used here. A SC buck boost converter is used as a

front end converter at the AC mains in SRM drive. For low power house hold applications, SRM is

the best choice due to its simple construction and winding free rotor. As SRM is a DC drive we need

DC supply and Rectifier is used to get DC output from AC input. For a buck boost converter the

output voltage can be controlled. By controlling the output voltage of the converter, a wide speed

range of SRM drive is possible. The speed of SRM can be controlled by varying the dc bus voltage

appearing across the converter. Here the converter is operated at discontinuous inductor current

mode. This mode of operation helps us to regulate the dc output voltage the converter and improve

the power quality at the AC mains. When a SRM is fed by a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) it is

observed that the Total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current at AC mains is of the order of

70% to 80% which violates standards for power quality. The THD can be brought down below 5%

using SC converter. The THD is reduced 5% to meet IEEE- 519 standard. The simulation results

based on MATLAB/Simulink software are discussed in detail in this paper.

Jayasankar V.N, Nisha B Kumar and Vinatha U

This paper presents the interconnection of a hybrid wind-solar renewable energy system with the grid

at distribution level, using a voltage source inverter. The inverter is controlled using id-iq theory

based control algorithm, by which the grid interfacing inverter gets additional responsibilities of

shunt active power filter. Grid interfacing inverter consists of a 3-phase, 4-leg voltage source

inverter, a DC-link capacitor and a hysteresis current controller. A self-tuning filter is designed and

used in the control system for effective elimination of current harmonics. In practical system, the

renewable energy generation and the load are continuously varying in nature. In order to validate the

control algorithm in a practical system, different input conditions like varying wind speed, varying

solar radiation, and varying load conditions are considered for simulation. All simulations are done

in MATLAB-Simulink platform. The performance of 4-leg inverter is found adequate and effective

to exchange real power from renewable sources to grid along with compensating harmonic currents.

Pavana P and Vinatha U

This paper presents One Cycle Control based Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC)

Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter feeding Brushless DC (BLDC) motor Drive to facilitate

Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) approach of speed control. A PAM approach of speed control

enables three-phase VSI to operate at fundamental frequency, which leads to reduction in the

switching losses of the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). It also eliminates the need of motor current

sensing. The SEPIC PFC converter used for PAM control, is fed by single phase supply via a diode

rectifier. SEPIC PFC converter is designed to operate for wide range output voltage in Discontinuous

Conduction Mode (DCM). Operation in DCM permits voltage mode control scheme for power factor

correction using a single voltage sensor. A voltage follower approach is realised using a One Cycle

Control technique. The performance of the proposed PAM BLDC drive is analysed by simulation

using MATLAB/Simulink simulation tool for speed control over a wide range.

Hydro-Power System

Ismayil C., Sreeram Kumar R, Sindhu T. K. and Haseena A.

This paper proposes to employ a type of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for the

supplementary automatic generation control (AGC) of hydro-power systems. Akin to the PID

control, there are some tunable parameters for the proposed controller scheme. These controller

parameters have been determined and fine-tuned using genetic algorithms (GA) to get a better

option. The overall system performances are compared with the classical integer order PID (IOPID)

controller and the results show improvement in terms of the settling time, peak overshoot, steady

state error and a new measure of mean sum squared error (MSSE). The effectiveness of the proposed

controller in hydro-power system with different water time constants has been verified through

extensive simulations.

Paper Code 46: DC-DC Converterless PV fed BLDC with MPPT Tracking for Pump

Applications

Abhijith K.K and Shahin M

This paper introduces a new methodology for driving a BLDC motor with a MPPT controlled VSI

fed from solar energy without using any front end DC-DC converter. In order to increase the overall

efficiency of solar based water pumping system, induction motor drive is replaced with BLDC motor

and in the common two stage conventional system a DC-DC converter with MPPT technology is

used to provide a stable DC voltage for BLDC. In this paper a new control scheme is developed for

the dc-dc converterless driving system for the BLDC motor. Thus we can avoid the losses and

number of switches occurring in front end DC-DC converter. The modified control scheme to

achieve duty ratio control and a stabilized voltage for the speed control of BLDC motor is simulated

and validated. The performance of proposed BLDC motor drive is thoroughly evaluated and its

potential is demonstrated under realistic operating conditions

Paper Code 47: A Review on Converters used for Solar PV Water Pumping System

Nimitha T, Ranjith Krishnan A and Rajesh M

Everyday global energy utilization is increasing significantly. This steady increase in energy

utilization will overburden the distribution grids and power stations, which will results a negative

effect on power quality. The demand for renewable energy has increased significantly, because of the

drawbacks of fossil fuels, environmental pollution and greenhouse effect. Among different types of

renewable energy sources, solar and wind energy has become the most favourable and attractive.

Compared to other non- conventional energy sources, the availability of solar power is more. The

solar PV system has found many potential applications. Since PV cells generate low output voltage,

a high step-up DC/DC converter is necessary to step up the PV voltage to a level of DC load/micro-

grid voltage or required level of inverter DC-link voltage supplying an AC load/utility. In this paper,

eight types of converter topologies (Conventional boost, Sepic, modified Sepic, Luo, Super lifted

Luo, Zeta, Landsman and Modified Landsman), which are used for solar water pumping systems are

compared and discussed. Performance of the each converter has been evaluated in MATLAB

Simulink software.

Converter

Uma Krishnan and Rajesh M

The sudden reduction in the cost of power electronic devices and complete destruction of fossil fuels

in the future motivates us to use renewable energy resources for various applications. In order to

optimise the renewable energy resources using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques, a

DC/DC conversion stage is needed to ensure stability. Moreover a high efficiency and high step-up

DC/DC converters are essential to achieve constant output voltage with high voltage gain

respectively. This paper deals with the analysis, design and control of solar photovoltaic (SPV) array

fed permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive for water pumping system which employs

Paper Code 54: A SIMO Converter Based on SEPIC-Cuk-Boost Combination with Coupled

Inductor

Afsher P A and Ismail.C.

The objective of this paper is to evolve a Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) DC-DC converter.

SIMO dc-dc power converter formation is an economical replacement to different separate switching

power converters solution in many power distribution systems demand where different voltage levels

are required at reduced cost. The converter is a combination of SEPIC-Cuk-Boost (Se-Cu-BoCC)

with a single controllable switch. The developed converter can increase or decrease the voltage of

input power source to controllable output voltage. The proposed converter combination provides

three output combination which consists of a dc bipolar voltage and one voltage higher than the input

voltage. Main attraction of the converter combination is less number of components which leads to

reduced size. An analysis of the proposed configuration based on output voltage, voltage stress

across switch, current ripple and number of components has been carried out. Simulation results

show that this combination of three Single-Input and Single-Output (SISO) converter topologies, is

suitable for SIMO applications.

Power Quality Improvement Features

Swathi Krishna and Manoj Kumar M.V

In this paper, application of battery and super capacitor based hybrid energy storage system (HESS)

integrated to the grid connected microgrid system in various literatures are reviewed. Nowadays

conventional grid (CG) system is not sufficient enough to meet the peak power demand. Thus micro-

grid has emerged with a major role. Grid integrated microgrids have a major role in decreasing the

gap between generation and distribution of power. In a microgrid along with renewable energy

sources (RES), energy storage systems that contains batteries and capacitors is added to the

microgrid for improving their performances. Battery and super capacitor combination have benefits

such as current stresses occurred due to dynamic changes in load and RES are diverted to super

capacitors, which increases the life span of battery. There are many control techniques available in

literatures for the efficient power management among battery /super capacitor and renewable energy

source. This paper discusses various power management strategies for grid connected microgrid

system with battery/super capacitor as energy storage.

Merin P Benny and Anilkumar T. T.

This paper presents a review of charge balancing of battery systems using different energy converters.

The tremendous growth in all fields of technology demands for more efficient and high voltage rated

battery with longer life time. The hybrid energy storage system, automobile industry, inverters etc

need high voltage battery which is obtained by series and parallel combination of cells. This causes

imbalance of charge in the battery system and degradation of battery life. Eventually the entire

battery system fails to supply the demand. This problem can be solved using battery balancing

methods and in this paper a comprehensive review of different battery balancing methods is

attempted. A detailed comparison of different energy converter based balancing methods is also done.

It can be seen that a bidirectional multi-input Cuk converter topology offers a flexible control

scheme with moderate number of switching devices for proper balancing of battery units.

Paper Code 28: A Review on the Methods of Removal of Canvas Patterns from Classic Vintage

Paintings

Vinshi K K, K K Riyas, Garnet Wilson, Ruksana Siraj and Brijmohan K

Art conservation is important in museum, art galleries and all those concerned with works of art, in

order to protect them from future damage and deterioration. In case of canvas paintings, the natural

texture of the canvas may change over time by various external factors and become very prominent.

Canvas patterns are removed digitally for analyzing the paintings by art experts during restoration

process. Several filter combinations are applied to remove the periodic and quasi periodic noise from

images but this is not adequate to remove noise from real life paintings when canvas is highly

contaminated and quasi periodic in nature. Research works are going on to remove canvas patterns

even from highly deteriorated paintings to improve the visual reading by art expert. This paper is a

review on different methods used for periodic pattern removal from painting images.

Paper Code 29: A Review on the Methods of Automatic Marine Life Monitoring System from

Underwater Video

Ruksana Siraj, K.K Riyas, Garnet Wilson, Brij Mohan K and Vinshi K.K

Abstract- The topic studied here is video based fish identification. Nowadays many biologists are

interested in underwater video monitoring for marine video surveillance. Automatic fish

identification mainly consists of three tasks- fish detection (i.e. to track and identify the fish from the

background object), fish tracking and fish recognition. During previous works shape, color, texture

were mainly used features for fish recognition and identification but limited accuracy was achieved.

Research works are going on to investigate efficient features for species level fish recognition. The

aim is to analyze all previous methods used for underwater video monitoring for fish identification.

Paper Code 30: A Review on the Methods of Grade Identification of Astrocytoma Using MRI

Swetha T, Brijmohan K, K K Riyas, Garnet Wilson and Athira K

Brain tumor is one of the most important reasons for death among people. Death rate would be

decreased if the tumor is detected and classified at its early stage. Astrocytoma is the unique kind of

brain tumor. Glial cells are the most abundant cells present in the Central Nervous System (CNS).

Astrocytes are star shaped cells in the glial cells from where astrocytoma originates. According to the

grading provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) there are four grades of astrocytoma and

is usually followed internationally. Tumor grading is a classification method which is helpful for the

doctor to decide the severity of tumor and for choosing the best treatment. The information about

location and size of tumor can be obtained from Magnetic resonant images, but it is not capable to

classify the tumor type or grade. For this reason clinicians go on invasive techniques like biopsy and

spinal tap method which are time consuming and painful. Therefore non invasive method for brain

tumor grade identification is essential.

Paper Code 31: A Review on the Methods of Despeckling of Optical Coherence Tomography

Athira K, Brijmohan K, Varun P. Gopi, K K Riyas, Garnet Wilson and Swetha T

In medical image processing, Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technique is widely

used for disease detection. It is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides images of tissue

structures with high resolution. Speckle noise is a granular noise. Speckle noise is introduced in OCT

image due to the constructive and destructive interference of optical waves that undergo multiple

scattering in different direction, when waves propagate through the tissue. The quality of OCT

images degrades due to speckle noise. This paper is a review on different methods for speckle noise

reduction in OCT images.

Paper Code 48: Design and Comparison of a Secure Code Shifted Reference and Differential

Code Shifted Reference for UWB Transceiver

Arathi Jayaprakash and P. Samundiswary

In Code Shifted Reference (CSR) scheme, data pulses are sent with reference codes in transmitter

and at receiver it is separated by using exact timing delay used to correlate data with reference. Using

CSR for UWB signals will provide additional security. In CSR along with the data we need to send

the reference as well. DCSR scheme sends differentially encoded data without any reference code. In

this paper both CSR and DCSR encoding and decoding schemes are applied for UWB transceiver.

For CSR scheme 1 bit, 2bit and 4 bit data is used for transmission, while for DCSR 2bit and 4 bit

data is encoded to differential data. The synthesizable Verilog description of encoder and decoder is

simulated and verified for both CSR and DCSR architectures. The delay (frequency) is the

performance criteria, which is measured and compared for both the schemes.
