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 …

Three Stage High Step-up Interleaved Boost Converter with Voltage Multiplier Cell
Abstract: In this paper, three stage high step-up interleaved boost converter with three voltage multiplier cells (VMCS) and three state switching cells (3SSC) is proposed. Here an interleaved boost converter is used, as a result higher efficiency and reduced input ripple current is obtained. Also, an additional stage of voltage multiplier i.e., three stages is added so that voltage gain will increase. It reduces switching loss and stress through the devices. …
