  • Optimal Placement Of Distributed Generation Using Immune Algorithm And Suitability For Off-Shore Grid Environment

    3rd International Conference on Advances in Computing Communication and Materials Icaccm 2024, 2024
    This research work offers a novel approach for figuring out the best size and position of Distributed Generation (DG) in radially distributed networks. The Newton-Raphson method is utilised to perform the power flow/load flow assessment. Buses are segmented and suitable DG locations are recognised based on the change in power loss while moving through the network. A new immune algorithm has been employed to size and locate the DG (s). To strengthen the voltage levels at the buses and lessen real power loss, a fitness function is developed. The IEEE-34 bus system is considered for validation, and the tests are carried out in ETAP 12.6.0 and MATLAB. It is also recommended that this scheme be implemented for future marine off-shore distributed generation.

    Proceeding of 2024 International Conference on Communication Computing and Energy Efficient Technologies I3ceet 2024, 2024
    Accurate control of peak power point is required to ensure that the solar panel operates at its maximum generated electricity output whenever weather changes due which affect both, operating temperature and light irradiance as they have influence on a photovoltaic module's power produced. Researchers have largely paid emphasis at improving the disturbance but observations strategy as it is a dominant technique for MPPT controllers and generates oscillation problems in operating point. This paper deals with the design and simulation of an unknown control which enables maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a solar trackin-g system. The Simulation of the barrel converter was carried out using Matlab/Simulink which converts a 65 W photovoltaic (PV) module for fuzzy controller. The main innovation in this case was the conferred support for handling part models, which can be used to model a PV module not with diodes but instead using its mathematical structure and requiring only the calculation of one curve matched constant. Use of a P&O controller was deigned for the fuzzy oversight findings comparison. Both fuzzy controllers designed using right-sidedets are tested by offline simulations, and the results show that one of them behaves slightly better than other devices in respect to settling time, powerloos and vibration at operting point.

    Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) routing is difficult for several reasons. First, the UASN's energy consumption rises because the distance between nodes changes as it moves with the water current. The gathered scientific data packets are sent from the acoustic network to a receiving station on land. Second, there are difficulties with the underwater acoustic network, such as longer propagation delays and lower capacity because of danger. The biggest hurdle is inefficient data packet transfer between the UASN node and the onshore sink node. Finding a method that uses less energy is just the first step in reaching maximum efficiency. The underwater routing protocol has to be resilient in the face of connection failure brought on by extreme weather or power outages. The Modified Buffalo Optimization Algorithm is a novel optimization technique inspired by nature. The issues listed above may be avoided by using the Modified Buffalo optimization Algorithm that has been presented in this study. It was implemented in the NS2 simulator to evaluate the program's effectiveness and through its paces against the Chimp optimization method. In terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, and power efficiency, the simulated results shows that the MBOA algorithm out performs COA Algorithm.

  • Ship Recycling-The Need of A Life Cycle Approach

    Having identified the potential hazard during the Ship recycling process, the Hongkong Convention mandates the inventory of hazardous materials for Ships above 500 GT. It also mandates the Ship recycling facility to have a Ship Recycling Plan based on the inventory of hazardous material. The Hongkong convention although addresses most of the issues in the ship recycling industry in the beaching method of ship recycling, it is silent over the issues pertaining to the downstream waste management. India has ratified the Hong Kong convention on 29th November 2019, has enacted the Ship Recycling Act, 2019 in line with the requirements of the Hong Kong convention. This paper analyses the key issues of concern in the ship recycling industry especially which employs the beaching method of recycling and the dire need of a Life cycle assessment approach in ship recycling, the process improvement of hazardous waste handling in the Ship recycling industry to prevent the accident occurrences, reduce the health issues to the workers in the ship recycling industry in addition to the pollution prevention aspects in the adjacent coastal areas.
