Modelling and H∞ Robust Control of a Neonatal Incubator
Abstract: This study presents the modelling of a neonatal incubator and the design of a robust H∞ controller. Neonates, who are born premature, often don’t have enough maturity to regulate their temperature. These infants have low metabolic heat production rate and may have high heat loss from the skin so they have an increased risk of death in the first week of their life. The core temperature of the human body …

RF Based 3-Axis Robotic Arm using MEMS
Abstract: This 3-axis MEMS accelerometer are used in various applications like human–machine interactive games; for this application, hand gesture problem is used. This setup includes a number of 3-axis accelerometers on fingers and back of the palm to measure dynamic and static gestures, a programmable microcontroller to detect hand postures of American Sign Language and send them to a host via serial communication and analog multiplexer. The apparatus consists of sensors …

An Efficient Energy Management System for the PV Grid Tied and Battery Backed Up Systems for the Small Load Applications
Abstract: The energy management and the associated tools are gaining attention for the different applications. The concept of the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is finding its usefulness in recent years. This paper explores the idea of HEMS with a small system comprised of a conventional grid, a PV source, and battery storage. The complementary action of the grid, solar generation, and the battery stored energy is functioning together to meet …

Design and Modeling of High Speed Homopolar Inductor Alternator
Abstract: Homopolar inductor alternator (HIA) is basically used for high speed application because of its expected high reliability in severe environments, high efficiency and capacity of rotating at high speed. Even though homopolar inductor alternator is a synchronous generator, the asymmetric structure of alternator makes its theoretical principle ambiguous and design of alternator is difficult. So investigation on this alternator is very important. In this study, design and modelling of six …

TORQUE RIPPLE MINIMIZATION OF PV BASED SRM DRIVE
Abstract: The switched reluctance motor drive is the recent choice for industrial applications due to its unique features like double salient pole motor without winding, permanent magnet and commutator in rotor. Solar photovoltaic based water pumping system using AC and DC motor is common but SRM drive is more favourable in terms of cost, reliability, robustness in nature. The primary drawback of SRM drive is higher torque ripple which makes heavy …
