PROJECT EXPO
The Department of Electrical &
Electronics Engineering, Madanapalle Institute of Technology & Science
organized a Project Exhibition on 05th June 2014. Project expo included various
projects done by IV year EEE students. It serves as a platform to exhibit the students’
creativity, originality and their innovative ideas. All the Final Year students
participated and Project working models were displayed, after close scrutiny.
In this expo eight hardware projects and six simulation projects that are
developed by the IV – EEE students were displayed. The expo was arranged in
view of getting the encouragement as well as constructive suggestions to the
students from the eminent scholars of the institution. All the projects were
successful, because of EEE faculty. Students had given a detailed explanation
on working principle of the domain to the visitors. Principal, Dean
(Academics), HOD, Dept. of ECE, Dr.
Harinath Goud, Professor & HOD (I/c), Dept. of ME, HOD, Dept. of CSE &
IT, HOD, Dept. of MCA, Professor & HOD, Dept. of MBA, Vice Principal (
Diploma) and other Faculty members have visited the exhibition and interacted
with the IV-EEE students and appreciated the efforts of EEE HOD and team.
The program went in pomp & gaiety manner and the students have answered the queries of the invitees more enthusiastically and in turn they received suggestions for further improvement of the projects as well as enriching their research skills. The invitees opined that such expos will certainly enhance the research skills of the students and bring out their inner built ideas.
The students have expressed their immense pleasure for motivating them through such events. These outgoing students conveyed their gratitude to respected Secretary & Correspondent, Principal, Deans, Professor & HOD, Dept. of EEE, Professor B.Ramakumar, EEE and all other faculty members for having been providing a constant support for nurturing their innovative thoughts.
Dr. K.V.R.B. Prasad, Professor & HOD, Dept. of EEE and his fellow colleagues have coordinated the entire event. On this occasion, EEE HOD expressed that they could do everything because of the continuous support extended by beloved & respected Secretary & correspondent.
Principal observed the cheerful faces of the ECE budding engineers.
Summary of the projects
Hardware Projects:
Project 1: Cell Phone Based Remote Controller for Water Pump
This project eliminates the inconvenience in switching ON the motor pump located in remote area for the sake of farmers by making use of a controller circuit using Microcontroller which reduces the risk of human life and aims at conserving water & electricity.
Project 2: Energy Management using Intelligent Control
System
The main objective of the project is to conserve the energy by using sensors. In this project work, the electrical load in MITS college premises is considered as a case study. An intelligent control system is developed with temperature and the light sensor senses the light. Based on measured values of sensors, the intelligent control system operates both fans and light. If the measured temperature is more than the set value, the fan load receives power supply and operates and if the measured illumination of the room is less than the set value, the light load receives power supply and operates.
Project 3: Automation of Drilling
Procedures through Microcontroller – A Panacea for Drillers
To facilitate the drillers, an automatic drilling machine has been designed with DC geared motors and microcontroller which moves three dimensionally and completes the task of drillers, thereby reducing their risk. Entire operation of drilling machine can be governed by the Microcontroller.
Project 4: Microcontroller based water level sensor for automation of water pump operation
Sustainability of available water resource is now a dominant issue. The aim of this project was to implement an automatic water level control circuit using PIC microcontroller that will automatically turn ON and OFF the domestic water pump set depending upon the water level and it also prevents “dry run” of the pump in case the level in the reservoir goes below the suction level.
Project 5: Soft start of a Three Phase
Induction Motor using Thyristors
Induction Motor draws 5 to 6 times the rated current at starting when Direct Online started. The conventional starting methods like auto transformer starting and Star-Delta starting have their own limitations. This project overcomes these problems by using power electronic converters to start the Induction motor which results in compact size, automated operation and good starting characteristics of an Induction Motor.
Project 6: Multi input Multi Output
Voltage Copier using Switched Capacitor
In this project, to meet the different voltage levels in the multiport DC – DC Converters, a Multi Input and Multi Output Voltage Copier has been introduced, which consists of 5 conversion circuits with only 6 to 7 electronic components in each circuit. They provide eight different voltage levels.
Project 7: Design and Development of
Smart Energy Meter
Smart meter is an advanced energy meter that measures the consumption of electrical energy and provides the power consumption profiling. The objective of this project is to design, engineering, development and testing of smart energy meter. Both hardware and software modules have been developed and implemented.
Project 8: Transformer Protection by Using Microcontroller-Based Solid State
Relay
In this project, with the help of microcontroller-based solid state relay, transformer was protected accurately and very quickly. This system was provided a safer and better protection than the other methods which are currently in use. The advantages of this system over the current methods in use are better isolation, fast response and accurate detection of the fault.
Project
9: Vehicle Movement based Street Light Intensity Controller.
In this project, 8051 microcontroller is used for controlling the intensity of LED based street lights, the sensors are used to detect the vehicle and provides signal to microcontroller and the microcontroller provides signals to Light Intensity Discharge lamps to give more intensity so that one can conserve more power from street lights.
Simulation Projects:
Project 10: Design and Development of Rooftop Solar PV Power system
The main objective of this project is to design & simulate 100KW rooftop solar PV Power system. A MATLAB/SIMULINK model has been developed for both DC and AC Power systems & the results have been compared with PV syst model performance.
Project 11: A Novel Control Strategy for a Multi Level Inverter with
Less Number of Switches.
Multi-Level Inverters are now-a-days becoming very attractive in the industrial applications like AC Drives, FACTS devices etc. The aim of this project was to propose a simple control strategy for a novel Multilevel Inverter using less number of switches. A novel concept of Unequal step Size has been experimented in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment on such converter which was found to reduce THD levels to less than 5% for a 9 Level Inverter.
Project 12: Plug and Play of Solar PV System for Residential
Applications
The tremendous growth of solar power utilization lead to effective ways of generating power for residential applications. The main objective of project is to develop a complete plug and play PV power system which includes the design, engineering and verification using MATLAB/Simulink.
Project 13: Design and implementation of MPPT Algorithm for
a Standalone PV System
In this project, a simulation study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems using perturb and observe algorithm is developed. The model of photovoltaic is developed using MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment. The boost converter is used for maximum power extraction using MPPT Algorithm.
