Efficient Trash Supervision Using Internet of Things
Abstract: In present scenario, trash management is fundamentally important in terms of both the health and hygiene to prevent many diseases which originate from the incompetent supervision of the garbage system. Sometimes the dustbins are over flown due to lack of maintenance leading to spread deadly diseases and illness. Internet of things (IoT) is a technology which connects the physical devices to the internet. In this work, the garbage level inside …

Hybrid Intelligent Controllers for Highly Accurate Trajectory Tracking of Manipulator
Abstract: Due to the lack of accurate knowledge of robotic manipulator model, the highly precise trajectory tracking cannot be obtained. Moreover in these modern times, multiple design control objectives cannot be met by single controller, hence; there is a need for having two or more controllers at a time. Hence, more powerful and effective systems can be made by combining these intelligent controllers. In this regard, evolutionary optimized advance intelligent controller …

Advanced Rail Clamping PWM Based Space Vector Algorithm for DTC Induction Motor Drive
Abstract: This paper proposes a generalized method to pulse generation using advanced rail clamping pulse width modulation (ARCPWM) sequences. The proposed space vector approach to pulse generation is generalized for various PWM sequences. The present paper considers two advanced PWM sequences viz, 0121 and 7212. The performance of various ARCPWM methods utilizing these two sequences is analyzed on a direct torque controlled (DTC) induction motor drive for a superior steady state …

Solution of Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem Using a Novel Meta-heuristic Technique
Abstract: This paper presents the use of a recently developed algorithm inspired by the hunting mechanism of grey wolfs in nature, called grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm for solving optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The ORPD is formulated as a complex optimization problem with nonlinear characteristic. The GWO is used to find the set of optimal control variables of ORPD problem, such as generators’ terminal voltage, position of tap changers …
