DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

Power quality is one of the most talked about topics these days. Both the power utilities and

customers are quite concern with the quality of the power supply, whether the power generated

by the power utilities or the power consumed by the customers respectively. They need these

supplies to be at its optimum value so that the cost is efficient; otherwise problems such as over

voltage, under voltage, voltage swell, voltage sag, noise and harmonic caused by the

disturbances in power supply could be disastrous. Several methods have been suggested and

applied as the solution to these problems. One of the methods is by employing on-load power

transformer with tap changer, when the output voltage of the power transformer remains

constant irrespectively to the input voltage or variation of the load. The existing mechanical on-

load tap changing power transformer has few disadvantages, as it is slower, produces arching

each time the tap setting is changed and needs regular maintenance. With the emergence of

high power semiconductor devices such as SCR, TRIAC, MOSFET, IGBT etc., problem associated

with the mechanical on-load tap changing power transformer have been properly rectified.





Our project proposes the design and implementation of a microcontroller-based single-phase

automatic voltage regulator using automatic on load tap changer (AOLTC). The basic building

blocks for this design include a PIC 16f 876a microcontroller, a static SCR, a power transformer, a

zero crossing circuitry and a load sensing circuitry. This design is based on the principle of phase

control of ac voltage

using a SCR. This voltage is always sensed and fed back to the microcontroller via a measuring uit

to get a continuous control system. One of the intensions to develop this AOLTC is to use it in

power system for voltage controls. It can also be used as an adjustable voltage source by

adjusting a variable resistor in the voltage sensing circuitry. It is also intended to introduce a

compact AVR and to demonstrate the usefulness of the PIC microcontroller in power control

field.

A power system is called stable if it returns to a steady state or equilibrium operating condition

from a disturbance. Industrial loads are source of disturbances to power system due to more and

more non-linearity. Such loads will cause distortion of supply voltage, unbalance phase loadings,

fluctuations, higher neutral current we will going to fabricate a system using FC-TCR and firing

angle circuit using “microcontroller” and carefully recorded our observation and simulation

which were done using “MATLAB and PSIM software”.

FC-TCR is not only increasing the transmission capability but also for the stabilization of system

during critical condition. It is the combinational circuit of fixed capacitor and TCR. Which either

generate or absorb reactive power in order to regulate voltage magnitude. It supplying a varying

amount of leading or legging VAR to leg or lead system here the capacitor is act as static

generators where as in TCR by

phase angle control of thyristor can be vary from 90 to 180 degree conduction which is actuated

by TCR firing angle control circuit.

If the reactive power is more, afterward SCR will be 180 degree hence capacitor will supply the

reactive power. If the angle of SCR is increasing then rms of TCR current will gradually decrease.

CIVIL ENGINEERING


In MGITER, Navsari, civil engg. Department was started in 2010, and this is the second batch of

final year. In this department all the subject laboratories are well set as per GTU norms.





Description of the Projects:

1) Project Title: “COMPARISION OF NORMAL CONCRETE AND REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE

AND IT‟S APPLICABILITY”

Reactive powder concrete is new concept for all of us.in critical places construction like nuclear

power plant, hydraulic structure, research lab etc. normal concrete is not use. in place of normal

concrete high strength and ultra-high strength concrete use.

RPC is ultra-high strength, new generation concrete, formed from a special combination of

constituent materials like cement (opc), fine sand, silica fume, quartz powder and high tensile

steel fibres.

RPC is grouped in to high strength, high tensile strength and high durable concrete, which has a

very high compressive strength of 200MPA which can be improved further by research up to

800MPA and RPC have high ductile behaviour. RPC have flexural strength of 25MPA to 40MPA,

so concrete have some bendable properties. in RPC course aggregate removed and steel fibres

are introduce so concrete is self-compacting and highly durable.





Result:

Normal conc. 16.32 38.53 3.02 18

RPC -25 45 131 18.06 40

Conclusion:

From the result we can conclude that by using RPC compressive strength increase 3.5 times and

tensile strength increase 6 times compare to normal concrete.

Limitation of RPC is its economy; cost of RPC concrete is two times higher than normal concrete

this problem can be solved by using modified RPC.

Project Title:

“EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION IN DEVELOPING LOW COST CONCRETE USING SLAG & RECYCLED

CONCRETE”

Concrete is becoming the backbone of infrastructural developments of every country. Today we

are the second largest producer of cement in the world only behind China. The quantity of

concrete and other cement products made, utilizing over 120 million tonnes of cement to cater

for the tremendous infrastructural development that is taking place in the country, is making the

concrete industry one of the biggest in monetary terms.

Concrete is a site-made material unlike other materials of construction and as such can vary to a

very great extent in its quality, properties & performance owning to the use of natural materials

except cement. In it’s simplest form concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates. The paste

composed of OPC and water, coats the surface of the fine (small) and coarse (large) aggregates.

However, the overall cost of concrete increase due to cement. Moreover, slag (which is naturally

cementetious in quality) and recycled concrete are non-biodegradable wastes and can serve as a

replacement for cement in concrete imparting strength. SALG: Steel slag is a molten by-product

or of metallurgical operations in steel making process. The high cost of slag disposal beside their

negative impact on environment led the reutilization of steel slag in various applications

.RECYCLED CONCRETE: It is breaking, crushing and removing irrelevant and contaminated

materials from demolished concrete and then using it new construction work. Hence, this project

is concerned with experimental investigation on strength of concrete making it economical as

well as making use of non-biodegradable wastes.





Result:

Compressive Strength Testing





Conclusion

Partial replacement of cement with slag and RC gives strength as well as reduces its costs.

Use of slag is more feasible compared to RC.

2) Project Title:

“SEAWATER INTRUSION IN COASTAL AREAS OF SURAT”

Potable water is the driving need of human civilization today. As pollution grows so grows the

thirst for the fresh water for all purposes of life; from drinking to sanitation and from industry to

agriculture. The rise in the level of pollution in terrestrial freshwater has led to an increased

usage of groundwater. Ground water constitutes only a small fraction of total volume of water

on earth; yet it is of immense importance as the source for more than half of the global need of

potable water. Utilization of groundwater in the coastal zones is of even greater significance

since coastal belts are among the most density populated human settlement and groundwater

from the major, and sometimes the only source of potable water there. Seawater intrusion has

reached an alarming level in this region due to indiscriminate withdrawal of groundwater for salt

extraction. Increase in groundwater salinity in this region has made grave impacts on the coastal

population. The present study aims to assess the level of threat to the population due to

groundwater salinization and to demarcate the salt affected areas using numerical models.

In this study, GALDIT method has been used to assess the vulnerability of coastal aquifer using

GALDIT parameters. GALDIT is a tool for aquifer pollution vulnerability evaluation and ranking,

for the estimation of the vulnerability index. Hence, the elements at risk (such as area and

population) due to the threat of groundwater salinization have been assessed. In this study the

GALDIT index is mapped for each wells and which indicates the vulnerability classes of each well

and classes for study area. In this study we found that the area is assess to coming in the

moderate vulnerability classes and the change in GALDIT index of the wells before and after the

construction of Singapore weir project. The salinity is decreased after construction of weir which

found from GALDIT index and the report shows the graph of each well for water level, salinity

and GALDIT index for before and after construction of weirs.





Conclusion

1. Salinity increase on the D/S of the weir increases after the construction of weir.

2. Salinity decrease on the U/S of the weir decreases after the construction of weir.

3. If the excessive pumping is to be carried out on the D/S of the weir, then it will further

determinate quality of ground water.

4. The recharging should be carried out on the large scale on the D/S of the weir to prevent salt

water intrusion.

5. We have observed that the water in the dumas well, which is on the D/S, is more vulnerable to

the salt in summer season than compare to jahangirabad well on U/S.

Structure of exo skeleton

INTRODUCTION:

An exoskeleton, also known as powered armour, or exo-frame, is a powered mobile machine

consisting primarily of an exoskeleton-like framework worn by a person and a power supply that

supplies at least part of the activation-energy for limb movement Simply the main function of a

powered exoskeleton is to assist the wearer by boosting their strength and endurance. Muscles

of the human body have a limitation while lifting loads, that sometimes the load cannot be

carried at all due to physical limitation or if carried ,it cannot be kept in that position for a bit

longer time. There are some challenges which need to be over-come which are mainly --Finding

ways to give external parallel power to the human muscles so as to improve its carrying capacity.

Also the problem require a proper selection of supporting design which is closely related to a





human arm, and the proper materials which can be used to withstand such heavy dead lifts. The

secondary problem that arises is the detection of invalid movement of the external powered

arm, so that the amount of movement remains under safe limits, causing no harm to its

operator. And the final consideration that can be obtained by breaking down the given problem

is of prevention of pinching of the skin or fouling of the joint of its operator. The primary

outcome that we expect is that the normal carrying capacity to lift simple loads will be increased,

by coupling an exo-skeleton. To his/her upper limb. i.e. The Arm. This outcome can further be

integrated to allow solders to carry heavier weapons, more tools or ammo, or the nurse to move

heavier patients single handily.

APPLICATION:

In Army One of the proposed main uses for an exoskeleton would be enabling a soldier to

carry heavy objects (80–300 kg) while running or climbing stairs. Not only could a soldier

potentially carry more weight, he could presumably wield heavier armour and weapons

Rehabilitation Exoskeletons could also be applied in the area of rehabilitation of stroke or

Spinal cord injury patients. Such exoskeletons are sometimes also called Step

Rehabilitation Robots

Nursing Faced with the impending shortage of medical professionals and the increasing

number of people in elderly care, exoskeletons can also designed to help nurses lift and

carry patients.

Industrial worker Help the workers to move heavy loads in work-shops or assembly lines.

FUTURE SCOPE:

Better design of air muscle

Integration of micro controller with the suit to control the actuators

Increase augmented degrees of freedom

Design a full body exo skeleton using air muscle

CONCLUSION:

By performing tests on Air Muscle we found that: When load acting on the air muscle was kept

constant and the input pressure of the air was increased in quantized steps the Total length of

the air muscle kept on decreasing When the pressure acting on the Air muscle was kept constant

and the load applied on it was increased in quantizes steps the total length of the Air Muscle kept

on increasing This variation in length of air muscle was used to move a manipulator which helped





its pilot in lifting loads The use of opposite material resulted in higher strength to weight ratio

compared to other metals such as stainless steel etc. at similar dimensions.

EXPERIMENTAL SET UP OF THERMOACOUSTICREFRIGERATION SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION:

Recent developments in the field of thermo acoustics promise to revolutionize the way that

many machines currently operate .By manipulating the temperature-changes along the acoustic

longitudinal waves , a machine can be created that can replace current refrigeration and air

conditioning devices. These machines can be integrated into refrigerators, hot water heaters, or

space heaters and coolers. The thermo acoustic devices contain no adverse chemicals or

environmentally unsafe elements that are characteristics of current refrigeration systems.

Thermo acoustics deals with the conversion of heat energy to sound energy and vice versa. There

are two types of thermo acoustic devices: thermo acoustic engine (or prime mover) and thermo

acoustic refrigerator. In thermo acoustic engine, heat is converted into sound energy and this

energy is available for useful work. In this device, heat flows from a source at higher temperature

to a sink at lower temperature. In a thermo acoustic refrigerator, the reverse of the above





process occurs, i.e., it utilizes work (in the form of acoustic power) to absorb heat from a low

temperature medium and reject it to a high temperature medium. The efficiency of thermo

acoustic devices is currently lower than that of conventional counterparts, which need to be

improved to make them competitive. In addition, other conversations for a thermo acoustic

device are low cost, high reliability, safety, compactness and ease of mass production.

APPLICATIONS:

Household application.

Preserving of the dead bodies.

Medicine & Dry fruits storage, at cold storages.

FUTURE SCOPE:

The use of inexpensive, household items to construct the refrigerators could explain such low

efficiency. If other materials were used, it is possible that the factor that could be adjusted for

optimization. The stack works best when it is centered on a region in the tube where the

standing wave produces the highest pressure (and thermal) forces. Experimenting with different

frequencies and stack placements could yield greater efficiency. We also concluded that the

shape and length of the resonator tube was a major factor in the efficiency of the device.

Improvements to the resonator tube would involve further research into the effects that

differently shaped tubes would have on the thermo-acoustic effect. Perhaps a resonator tube

which was tapered to focus the intensity of the wave and therefore increase both the pressure

and temperature maximum would increase effectiveness. However, as stated above further

research is required to ascertain the resonator tube shape of maximum efficiency. Other tube

factors that should be explored include tube diameter and length. Due to the correlation

between the resonator tube and the frequency used these two factors would have to be

experimented with simultaneously. If peak efficiency was to be achieved, the most optimal

solution would be to model the acoustic properties by computer simulation and predict efficient

tube-frequency combinations in that manner. A relatively simple modification that could be

made to our models to increase efficiency would be to enclose the entire speaker in a PVC box,

therefore ensuring that all of the acoustic energy is directed upwards into the resonator tube. In

our current models, a large percent of the energy is lost as sound that escapes the device. Lastly,

as temperature sensors for this particular application thermocouples were not the optimal

choice. The type J thermocouples that were used were inaccurate below a degree Celsius within

the range of 0-100, which was exactly the range we were operating in. More practical and

reliable temperature sensors, such as thermistors, should be used in the future.





CONCLUSION:

We set out upon this project with the simple goal of constructing a cheap, demonstrative model

of a thermo-acoustic refrigerator. To this end we succeeded: this experiment proved that

thermo-acoustic refrigerators indeed work. Additionally, this experiment did yield some

discoveries regarding the efficiency of thermo-acoustic refrigeration. It was revealed that finding

the optimal frequency is essential for the maximization of efficiency. This optimal frequency was

found using trial-and-error, because the equation used to calculate frequency was ineffective.

Another factor that increased efficiency was the proper sealing of the apparatus. If the parts are

not properly sealed, heat escapes from the refrigerator, and it does not function as well.

However, the overall efficiency of such an apparatus is debatable. The devices used in the

experiment were capable of cooling air, but only cooled the air a few degrees Celsius. Also, the

refrigerators were only able to cool the air for a short amount of time before the cooled air

started rising in temperature.

Project title: SMART TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM USING PLC

ABSTRACT

Traffic light is a collection of two or more coloured lights found at some junctions and pedestrian

crossings which indicates whether it is safe or legal to continue across the path of other road

users. Traffic signals are the most convenient method of controlling traffic in a busy junction. But,

we can see that these signals fail to control the traffic effectively when a particular lane has got

more traffic than the other lanes. To design an intelligent and efficient traffic control system, a

number of parameters that represent the status of the road conditions must be identified and

taken into consideration.

In this project work, we intend to measure the traffic density by sensing the number of vehicles

in each lane and then allot different time slots to different lanes according to it. For automation,

we have decided to use a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Due to its ruggedness and ease

of programming and re programming, PLC is the most suitable controller for the above purpose.

The intelligent or “Smart Traffic Control” is one which would be able to calculate the vehicle

density in a lane at a 4-way crossing and then decide the priority automatically using a program

burned in microcontroller. In practical situations sensors are used to detect presence of vehicles

in a lane and calculate the density and sends an interrupt signal to the control unit .In PLC the

status of the sensors are checked and certain logical operations are performed to decide which

lane is to be serviced first. Under low density condition it would operate sequentially. Ladder

diagram was developed for the implementation of the same in PLC.

Project title: FPGA BASED ELEVATOR CONTROLLER WITH IMPROVED RELIABILITY

ABSTRACT

The project is Design and Implementation of Elevator Controller with improved reliability on a

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This project is to design an elevator controller that can

be use at any elevator system. This design is to replace the current system that uses solid-state

microprocessor to control the elevator.

The elevator controller will be fully design on the FPGA board using simple I/O interface on the

FPGA board. The controller will be use in any type of elevator and it will produce a single chip

controller compare to other controller that will need more than one chip. This project is to

improve the reliability of a reconfigurable FPGA based elevator controller, which can be used for

an elevator with any number of floors, with specified inputs and outputs. It was clear that by

simply

changing a variable in the VHDL code the controller can be generated for an elevator with

required number of floors.

TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) is used to mitigate the effects of soft errors occurring in the

memory elements storing temporary data used during computation, as well as in those storing

the configuration bit stream. The technique may be applied at different levels of abstraction,

from the whole system to the single component. The flexibility in expansion of designs in an

FPGA was considered thoroughly in the proposed reliability improving method.

Project title: “An Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system”

ABSTRACT

An Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a well-known image processing technology.

ALPR system consists of four steps: capture the image from digital camera, pre-processing,

character segmentation and character recognition. License plates are available in various styles

and colours in various countries. Every country has their own license plate format. So each

country develops the ALPR system appropriate for the vehicle license plate format. Difficulties

that the ALPR systems face are the environmental and non-uniform outdoor illumination

conditions. Therefore, most of the systems work under restricted environmental conditions like

fixed illumination, limited vehicle speed, designated routes, and stationary backgrounds. Each

ALPR system use different combination of algorithms.
