Item Comparing To Estimate The Use Of Alternative Energy Over Grid Energy(2015-06-26T05:45:29Z) Mohan, B S; Prabha, G; Mahesh, KThe objective of this paper is to see the energy potential .i.e. either Electrical or Thermal energy at Acharya campus using Biodegradable waste,Solar energy and wind energy at campus space. The Biodegradable waste that can be collected through various sources like, Kamakshi canteen, Sri Durga Mess, HKG hostel Kitchen, Upcoming food court, Dry leaves, Lawn - Plantation andAnimal dung. The total biodegradable waste would be calculated on the number of working day at campus. The Solar potential at campus is calculated on the installing capacity over constructed (Building) roof-tops and area available for further expansion. Based on 220W panel dimensions we are calculating the total solar energy potential for available area. Considering 9hours of isolation at campus and 80% of energy conversion capability we can estimate the total energy potential from sun at campus. The wind potential at campus is calculated on the installing capacity over the edge of the constructed building roof-tops and area available for further expansion. Based on 1 kW wind generator we are calculating the total wind energy potential for available area. Considering 20 hours of isolation at campus and 300 days of operation and 40% of energy conversion capability we can estimate the total energy potential form wind at campus. The energy potential from bio-gas plat and solar energy and wind energy would give us the total energy potential estimated at campus for consumption. Load dynamics at campus varies from 9am to 5pm during regular working days. There is a need to calculate the demand for energy during each month and the energy generated is distributed in an efficient mannerItem Statistical Distribution Analysis Implementation Using Matlab For Wind Energy(2015-06-24T09:43:10Z) Mahesh, K; Vijaykumar, M V; Gangadharaiah, Y H; Lithesh, JThis paper analyses wind speed characteristics and wind power potential of Naganur site using statistical probability parameters. A measured 10–minute time series average wind speed over a period of 4 years (2006- 2009) was obtained from Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited (KREDL). Weibull density distribution function is an analytical function which is found to fit the wind speed curve very well. To assess the wind power potentials, the Weibull two parameters (k and c) were computed in the analysis of wind speed data. The wind speed distributions were represented by Weibull distribution and related distribution. The data used were real time data and calculated by using the MATLAB programming to determine and generate the Weibull and Rayleigh distribution functions. The monthly values of k range from 2.21 to 8.64 and the values of c ranged from 2.28 to 6.80. The most probable wind speed and corresponding maximum energy are in the range of 2.45 to 6.52 and 3.10 to 6.26 respectively. The Weibull and Rayleigh distributions also revealed estimated wind power densities ranging between 7.30 W/m2 to 116.51 W/m2 and 9.71 W/m2 to 266.00 W/m2 respectively at 10 m height for the location under study. This paper is relevant to a decision-making process on significant investment in a wind power project.Item Delineation and Advancement of Electric Power Measuring System using PIC Microcontroller and Processing(2015-06-10T05:13:46Z) Sam, Duney D; Jayadevappa, D; Aquib, Syed R; Krishnamurthy, K; Sunitha, Nn this study, analysis has been conducted to make an efficient measuring device that precisely calibrates the electrical power which is further interfaced with a computer via microcontroller ATmega328P-PU and a Processing program.

It is available directly as solar insolation and indirectly as wind energy. Solar energy has the sources of renewable energy. Its potential is 178 Billion MW, which is about 20,000 times the world‘s demand. Sun sends out energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. In this project we use the solar energy for generation of electrical energy, by using the Solar cells. The solar cells receive the solar energy which is fed to LEDs, maximum intensity of LED indicates maximum solar energy tracked.At present solar electric power generation systems are having fixed solar panels whose efficiency of generation is less. Our aim is to design the system, which will automatically track the sun‘s position and accordingly change the direction of the solar panel in both east to west (longitudinally) and north to south (latitude) to get the maximum output from the solar cell. For this tracking purpose we use a sensor and the input from the sensor is given to the micro controller and according to the program the panel is fixed to the maximum intensity position. Here we are using PIC micro controller. The 16F877A is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 4K bytes of Flash Programmable and Erasable Read Only Memory (PEROM).Item Reviewing Voltage Profile , Power & Reactive power compensation in EHV AC & UHVAC line at Power & Fractional Frequency(2015-03-16T09:38:41Z) Mohan, B S; Mahesh, K; Santhosh, SThis paper analysis the voltage profile Power transfer capacity, active & reactive power flow in line at 50Hz and 50/3Hz. It‟s known that higher the transmiss ion voltagelower are the voltage losses and degree of compensation [1]. In this paper, 765kV and 1200kV levels are taken as transmission voltages for a line length of 1200Km. For each transmission voltage load is varied from 0% to 150% of surge impedance load to measure foresaid parameters. While studying the parameters at fractional frequency transmission system (ffts), loads are connected to 50Hz system through step - up cycloconverter
