Microcontroller Based Automatic Thermal Control Mechanism in Small Scale Poultry Farm
Abstract: Improvements to poultry housing systems need to focus on providing an environment that satisfies the bird’s thermal requirements in brooding and rearing duration. Newly hatched birds have a poor ability to control body temperature, and require some form of supplementary heating, particularly in the first few days after hatch, particularly in too cold and too hot weather. This paper presents the design of automatic thermal control mechanism in small-scale poultry …

Fuel Cell Power Conditioning for Low Power Applications
Abstract: Fuel Cells are the important building blocks of hydrogen-based applications. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFCs) are useful for ambient temperature operating conditions. Fuel Cells cannot be interfaced to loads directly owing to many sources of power losses. Power Conditioning and Interface are equally important for driving loads using Fuel Cell generated power. Paper discusses the requirements of power conditioning, types of DC–DC converters, Experimental work performed on DC–DC converter …

Comparative Studies of Three MPPT Strategies for Solar PV System
Abstract: The solar power technology is one of the most predominant technologies that serve as a major source of power supply. But, its initial cost is too high and its lesser efficiency has not made its use very attractive as an alternate. Hence, it is quite critical to use maximum power available from the solar PV panel and operate it at its highest energy conversion output. For this, the solar PV …

Survey on Voltage Stability
Abstract: Power quality has a vital role lately because of the impact on electricity suppliers, equipment manufacturers and customers. Power quality is described as the variation of current, voltage and frequency in a power system. It mentions to an extensive type of electromagnetic (EMI) phenomena, which describes the current and voltage at a given time and at a given locality in the power system. Currently, there are several industries exploiting technology …

A DC-DC Boost Converter for Energy Harvesting
Abstract: Energy harvesting is an emerging technology used for wireless remote and local devices. For powering these devices such as wireless nodes battery is required which demands replacement after discharging. Energy harvesting technique helps in developing battery-free operation for these devices. To do so we need power management system which itself is power efficient. These power management systems may use many technologies but one of them is DC-DC boost converter using …
