PQ improvement of Micro-Grid by Using DG and Power Quality Conditioner with BESS
Authors: Sekhar Mishra Chandra , Kumar Jena Ranjan , Ranjan Nayak Soumya 
Published: April 2019

DG Grid interfaced system has been focused through this paper. The objective is to improve power quality of the grid, which was polluted by various means. The improvement of power quality of the micro grid includes uses of a specially designed DG, BESS and Power Quality conditioner. The system consists of a two-stage power conversion. Solar PV supplies power for both DC and AC loads. Manufacturer datasheet is used for modeling the PV panel. In order to keep the BUS voltage stable a BESS is joined to DC BUS through power electronic converter, which is used to absorb the excess power whenever production is high and deliver power to the load on low production. The system continues to supply the local loads, incase of grid discontinuity. Thus it eliminates threats of islanding. This paper also focuses on control and stability of DC bus voltage and energy management scheme. The project uses Matlab/Simulink platform for efficient verification. For power quality improvement of Micro Grid it uses 3leg inverter, which is coupled with SPV and MPPT with Battery storage, which is used as compensator for the whole system. For prevention to reduce voltage current and power flow between DG and Grid, it is necessary to have an optimum control. Through the adjustment of power circulation between shunt paired DG ensures current voltage and power on micro grid. +ve, -ve and Zero sequence components of currents and voltage can be adjusted by the suggested methodology in Grid tied DG system. The said PQC have multiple uses. Firstly as a power converter and secondly as a shunt APF for harmonic compensation on voltage, current and power (both active and reactive) for both balanced and unbalanced loads in the Grid tied DG system. It also cares for the neutral conductor. Either individually or in grid connected mode all the above objectives can be achieved. For the entire Grid, it is realized that after compensation three phase four wired un-balance loads looks as balanced linear resistive load for the Grid. All these task significantly replicated on MATLAB/Simulink. After compensation the total harmonic distortion on input voltage and current reduced drastically. IEEE519 in the range of 5% suitably accepts it.

Published: April 2019

Structures built in aggressive environments such as in the sea/marine environment need to be carefully designed, due to the possibility of chloride ion penetration into the concrete. One way to reduce the strength degradation in such environment is to use FRP, which is attached to the surface of reinforced concrete using epoxy. A series of the specimen of reinforced concrete beams with dimension 100×120×600 mm were cast. Beams were immersed in the saline water for 3 months (B3), 6 months (B6) and 12 months (B12). Three specimens were prepared to control beam without immersion in the saline water (B0). Write the study presented is focused on determining the effect of the saline water environment to the capacity of GFRP as flexural external reinforcement elements. The result indicated that the bonding capacity of B3, B6, and B12 compared to B0 decrease of 7.91%, 11.99%, and 37.83% respectively. The decreasing was caused by the weakening of the bonding capacity GFRP due to the influence of the saline water environment.

Published: April 2019

In this paper a slotted microstrip patch antenna has been designed that works for two frequencies 1.42GHz and 2.65GHz. Since a microstrip patch antenna works only on one resonant frequency so converting that into a multiband patch antenna would enhance the bandwidth and also utilizes the multiple frequencies of operation. This multiband slotted patch antenna is fabricated on FR4 lossy dielectric substrate whose dielectric constant is 4.3 and height is 1.6mm. The length and width of patch are taken as 51.16mm and 39.86mm respectively. we cut out the slots so that the patch antenna works at multiple frequencies. Another advantage of presented design is it reduced the size of antenna actually required for 1.42GHz frequency. Simulation and analysis of slotted patch antenna is done by CST software. Simulation and fabrication results show that the presented antenna design characteristics meet with the standard characteristics of antenna.

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer which the mortality rate increases year by year. Therapeutic drugs could not control the progression of cancer and it contributes to the side effects in normal cells. Thus, an alternative strategy using natural product becomes a focus today. Punica granatum, known as pomegranate has demonstrated the anti-proliferative effect in A549 cells. To further confirm its efficacy, this study aimed to investigate the type of cell death and its pathway in A549 cells. Propium Iodide staining was applied to determine the cell cycle profile changes induced by this juice. The determination of type of cell death was done using Annex in-V staining and later will be analyzed using flow cytometer. The pathway to apoptosis was investigated by determining the caspase- 3, 8 and 9 activities. The findings were supported by mitochondrial membrane permeability assay and cytochrome c release detection which were later analyzed using flow cytometer. This study revealed that pomegranate juice induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and apoptosis through intrinsic pathway following 24 h treatment. Pomegranate juice caused loss of mitochondrial membrane permeability after 48 h (p<0.05) exposure and a release of cytochrome c in cytosol after 24 h (p<0.05) and 48 h (p<0.01) exposure in treated A549 cells. In caspases analysis, it was showed that there was activation of caspase-3 following 72 h (p<0.01) treatment and caspase-9 after 48 (p<0.01) and 72 h (p<0.05) exposure in treated A549 cells.

Published: April 2019

The current study focuses on the influence of Rohingya crisis on the character strengths of Indian citizens. The study explains about the Rohingya crisis and its origination. It is discussed in the study that how chaotic conditions in Myanmar resulted in the exodus of Rohigya muslims from the country who are infiltrating neighbouring countries which are best approachable to them. Countries which are the signatories of UNHCR are supposed to allow them to enter their country but India not being a signatory of the same should not be forced to do that. However, the debate is still continuing on this issue referring few acts which support the permission to refugees to enter our country. In such circumstances Rohingyas are struggling for their livelihood and survival and getting involved in many antinational and anti-social activities. Consequently the legal citizens of India are substantially suffering and facing threat to develop their character strengths. The circumstances specially affecting the character strengths of forgiveness, social intelligence, kindness, humour, love and modesty etc. because their main focus is on the fulfilment of their daily necessities, based on the resources and peaceful social environment which is getting disturbed because of the Rohingya influx. This is resulting in the chaotic conditions in the society which are not letting the legitimate citizens of India to achieve mental peace and grow themselves from inside which is very important to strengthen the character strengths within ourselves. The current paper explains these issues in detail to generate a deep insight among the Indian citizens and to help Government of India in making decisions on this matter.

A Generation System of Multiple Choice Questions Using Idioms with Multiple Component Keywords
Authors: Lee Jae-Young , . . 
Published: April 2019

In order to alleviate the burden for the time-consuming and tedious tasks to make multiple choice questions, we proposed the system that generates multiple choice questions from the sentence with multiple component keywords and then relocates the questions selected by an array with random numbers instead of random functions in order to reduce the relocation time, after the system searches for the group of informative sentence with multiple component keywords by using special idioms. In this paper, the idiom is the CRm type idiom that has several components at the right side of this idiom including in a main informative sentence. The next sentences consist of other informative sentences including the components keywords. To make multiple choice questions, the system randomly selects an informative sentence including a component keyword and it also converts the informative sentence into a question. The selected component keyword is used as the correct answer and the three other component keywords are used as distractors. To produce many different questions about the same contents with different positions of the question and items, the system uses a random number array to reduce the relocation time.Â Â

Published: April 2019

The study focused to assess the groundwater in Madhavaram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, for irrigational purposes. Irrigation indices like SAR, SSP, PI and KR was determined in each groundwater sample to identify its irrigational suitability. This study further envisaged that these groundwater aquifers have low Sodium adsorption ratio and hence groundwater is fit for irrigation, while residual sodium bicarbonate and Kelly’s ratio values indicated that majority of these aquifer have water of marginal to harmful quality against irrigation. The dominance pattern of cations in the studied ground water was in the order of Na > Ca > Mg > K and the sequence of anionic dominance was as follows: Cl > HCO3 > SO4. All 20 wells fall under the excellent category of SAR. SSP values of groundwater range from 49 to 71 and indicated that 15 wells are under permissible and 5 wells are under doubtful classification. PI value indicated that groundwater is unsuitable against irrigation. The KR indicated that groundwater quality in 18 wells is not fit for irrigation. Hence, necessary pre-treatment methodology is to be adopted for utilizing groundwater for irrigation purpose.
