Smart Edge Device Utilizing Power Line Communication for Energy Management and Control of Electrical Appliances L. N. Sastry Varanasi, Ankamma Rao Jonnalagadda, Sri Phani Krishna Karri IEEE Access, 2024 The integration of intelligent systems in various industries has led to notable advancements in energy resource utilization. Power Line Communication (PLC) is widely used in the power industry for transmitting telemetry, speech, and protective tripping commands. While Wi-Fi has limitations in remote control and monitoring applications due to cost and power consumption, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) face challenges like transmission errors and data losses. Developing a scalable WSN architecture is crucial, especially in the presence of excessive network coverage or non-line-of-sight situations. Challenges persist despite efforts to enhance WSN connectivity, and conflicts with wireless local area networks (WLANs) in the 2.4 GHz ISM band lead to issues like packet losses and interference. To address these issues, the proposal suggests integrating WSN with PLC technology to create a resilient utility network. The research introduces a Master-Slave system using frequency-shift keying (FSK) based PLC modules for effective management and supervision of the intelligent utility network, with scalability for diverse industrial intelligence applications.
Finding Optimal Zone II Settings for Distance Relays in Coordination With Directional Overcurrent Relays Using QCQP Algorithm N. Praneeth, S. T. P. Srinivas, Alivelu M. Parimi, J. Ankamma Rao, Getie Tesfaye Zelie IEEE Access, 2024 This paper introduces a deterministic method to address coordination challenges between distance relays (DS) and directional overcurrent relays (DOR) by employing quadratic programming with quadratic constraints (QCQP). The conventional nonlinear coordination problem associated with DORs is reformulated as a QCQP, incorporating quadratic constraints, and the zone-II setting of the DS relay is included as a variable. To optimize relay settings that adhere to coordination constraints, the approach eliminates redundant constraints, proposing a minimal coordination constraint set (MCS) to prevent miscoordination issues. Furthermore, the MCS is divided into subsets suited to specific network topologies, thereby reducing programming complexity and execution times. Implementing QCQP with MCS and the SCIP optimizer (a global optimization tool) led to significant reductions in operating times as 86.4%, 10.77%, and 72.4% for the 8-bus, 14-bus, and IEEE-39 bus system models, respectively. These results highlight the QCQP approach’s superiority over previous solutions, demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing power system protection operations while substantially reducing computation times compared to existing methods.
Solar and Wind based Wireless Power Transmission for Electric Vehicles G. Krishnaveni, Krishna Mohan Tatikonda, S. Kezia, J. Ankamma Rao, Thamatapu Eswara Rao, Vikash Gurugubelli 2024 IEEE Flagship International BIT Conference Next Generation Applications in Green Energy Technology Bitcon 2024, 2024 The transition towards sustainable energy solutions has become imperative in combating environmental degradation and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. As part of this shift, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained traction as a promising alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, the widespread adoption of EVs necessitates addressing challenges such as limited battery range and the availability of charging infrastructure. This paper proposes a novel approach to address these challenges through the integration of solar and wind-based wireless power transmission systems for EVs. By harnessing renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and employing wireless power transmission technology, this system aims to provide continuous and eco-friendly charging solutions for EVs. The proposed system comprises solar panels and wind turbines strategically placed along roadways or within urban environments. These renewable energy sources generate electricity, which is then converted and transmitted wirelessly to EVs via inductive power transfer technology. This eliminates the need for physical charging stations and enables seamless charging while vehicles are in motion. Key advantages of this system include increased energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced convenience for EV users. Moreover, the integration of solar and wind power ensures reliability and availability of energy resources regardless of weather conditions. Through simulations and feasibility studies, this paper demonstrates the viability and potential benefits of implementing solar and wind-based wireless power transmission for EVs. Additionally, considerations regarding system design, scalability, and economic feasibility are discussed to facilitate the practical implementation of this innovative solution. Overall, the proposed system represents a significant step towards sustainable transportation infrastructure, offering a promising pathway to realize the widespread adoption of electric vehicles while reducing the environmental footprint of the transportation sector.
