DESIGN AND MACHINEWORK INVOLVED IN FIRE-FIGHTING ROBOT
Abstract: Due to a lack of technological advancement, battling fires has long been a dangerous job that frequently results in devastating losses. A human being is prone to error, and current firefighting techniques are ineffectual and inefficient. The use of robots rather than people to deal with fire dangers is a recent idea that has gained popularity. Our project entails building a robot that can recognise and put out a fire …

Modelling of Peer to Peer Sharing of Power within Solar Based DC Microgrids
Abstract: Solar based DC microgrids and home-based systems have been a reliable option to solve rural electrification problems in many parts of the world. However, there is a pertaining problem of mismatch between local demand and on-site generation in such microgrids. Proposed work attempts to address this problem by developing an optimal peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing among the individual households in a DC microgrid. A nonlinear optimization problem is formulated that …
