Small Signal Modelling and Load Regulation Analysis of Capacitor Current Ripple Controlled Coupled Inductor SIDO Buck Converter
2024-07-31 00:00 - 2024-08-03 00:00
Abstract: A new non-isolated single-input dual-output (NISIDO) DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The converter has the advantage of incorporating multiple outputs for energy storage applications, applicable in DC micro-grid storage systems, Electric vehicular charging stations, battery converters, and renewable energy systems without a filter capacitor. The significant advantage of the converter is it uses the interleaving technique to incorporate the outputs. The voltage stress across the switches and capacitor voltage stress is also reduced drastically. Thus it reduces the capacitor size when compared with the conventional boost converter. A closed-loop control strategy is implemented to control the load voltage as well as the inductor current. The converter is designed, analyzed, implemented, and tested using MATLAB SIMULINK software for 150W. The Simulation results are presented under various operating conditions such as changes in load with solar PV systems. The results from real-time testing are presented with the OPAL-RT system.

Control Implementation of BKY Converter for EV Applications
2024-07-31 00:00 - 2024-08-03 00:00
Abstract: This paper proposes BKY converter, which is made to run in continuous conduction mode during both the charging and discharging cycles for low power EV applications. An analysis is conducted on the converter’s dynamic behaviour, and an approach to control is put forth to manage the power transfer between the traction system and battery in an electric vehicle. The suggested converter is designed using an extracted small-signal model. A significant ripple in the detected current causes switching instability in the current-mode control approaches at low duty ratios. The lowpass filter in the proposed average current mode control is positioned in the current loop’s feedback to suppress any high-frequency ripples. A computation delay occurs when the controller is implemented in the microcontroller. The control algorithm’s design takes this into account. A theoretical framework for current and voltage loop gain transfer functions are created using the realistic parameters of a BKY converter. Further, transient analysis is performed and validated by simulations.

Real Time Implementation of Buck Converter using Optimized Type Compensators
2024-07-31 00:00 - 2024-08-03 00:00
Abstract: This work investigates the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization for the design of Type compensators utilizing the dual-loop control scheme. The proposed Type compensators integrate the ABC optimization for regulating the closed-loop operation of a DC-DC buck converter. Such an integration of ABC optimization, aids in effectively regulating the output voltage and inductor current, besides ensuring enhanced time domain criteria. The proposed dual-loop control scheme consists of a current loop and a voltage loop. The current loop regulates the inductor current and the voltage loop regulates the output voltage.The efficacy of the proposed method is revealed through extensive simulation and experimental investigation under start-up response, step perturbations in external load. The experimentation is conducted on a laboratory prototype using dspace DS1104 control board.

Revamping the Method of Advanced V/f Control for Precision Speed Regulation in Three-Phase Induction Motors
2024-07-31 00:00 - 2024-08-03 00:00
Abstract: This paper proposes a Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm-based
prediction model for the state of charge (SoC) level of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. To show the effectiveness of the proposed prediction model performance, the RF model has been compared with the other machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Gradient Boosting (GB) approaches. The dataset includes cell temperature, state of charge (SoC), voltage, and current readings at three different external temperatures15, 25, and 30 degrees Celsius are considered in this paper to test the performances of the proposed model. After preprocessing of the dataset, 20% of the data was used for testing and the remaining 80% for training purposes. The various metrics such as mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), coefficient of determination (R^2), root mean squared error (RMSE), normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE), residual standard error (RSE), and relative absolute error (RAE) are usually preferred to evaluate the performance of the prediction models. The simulation results of the proposed model clearly show the effectiveness of SoC-level estimation for real-time battery management systems (BMS) when compared to other machine learning algorithms. The efficiency of the proposed model is 99% and execution time is less than 5 seconds. The accurate estimation of the SOC of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for optimizing battery performance, ensuring safety, and extending battery life in electric vehicles.

Stanford Professor Thomas Blom Hansen to Deliver UDL #18
2024-04-04 11:00 - 12:30 | Mini Auditorium
The quest for knowledge can only lead to unparalleled success when the journey is guided by ethical morality and societal understanding. To achieve this, a sound liberal arts education proves imperative to nurture a young generation of ethically, morally and socially sensitive individuals. SRM University-AP is set to host the 18th edition of the University Distinguished Lecture on April 04, 2024. Prof. Thomas Blom Hansen, Reliance-Dhirubhai Ambani Professor & Department Chair, Department of Anthropology, from Stanford University, USA, will deliver the session on “Interiority Design: Liberal Arts Education in India”.
Join the talk to hear our distinguished speaker, Prof. Hansen deliberate and explore the complexities of liberal arts education in India!
About the Speaker
Prof. Thomas Hansen is a renowned anthropologist of political life, ethno-religious identities, violence and urban life in South Asia and Southern Africa. He is a leading academician exploring the religious and political violence in India. He has conducted extensive research in India focusing on Hindu nationalism, religious identities, religious revival and the everyday meanings of freedom.
He has written various books such as The Saffron Wave, Democracy and Hindu Nationalism in Modern India (Princeton 1999), and Wages of Violence: Naming and Identity in Postcolonial Bombay (Princeton 2001).
Abstract
In the past decade and a half, the liberal arts model of undergraduate education has become all the rage across India and other parts of Asia. In this lecture, Prof. Hansen will explore the origin of the liberal arts model in Enlightenment Europe, how it travelled to America, and how it became inextricably tied to an idea of the cultivation of a modern self, capable of autonomous, individual interior reflexivity and judgment, while framed as an invitation to join a larger national community. In this lecture, he will question: How does this model of education and self-formation sit with inherited traditions of education in India? How does its implied model of interiority and individuality sit alongside hierarchical ideas of the self and personhood structured by caste hierarchies in India? Does the idea of liberal arts education pave the way for a different and more capacious vision of what modern India might become?
