    N. Suthanthira Vanitha, L. Manivannan, A. Karthikeyan, K. Radhika, T. Meenakshi
    International Journal of Engineering Systems Modelling and Simulation, 2024
    A novel window mill vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is introduced to utilise the maximum wind power to produce the electricity. The novel design improves the conversion ratio by overcoming the pressure imbalance on the existing blade design with maximum utilisation of wind energy and is capable of generating power, which is three times greater than the existing windmill design. The proposed window mill is enveloped by metal case with subways and huge walls on both sides to run the turbine even during low wind head for ensuring higher efficiency than existing windmills. A complete layout of VAWT blade design is presented including the calculation of theoretical maximum efficiency, practical efficiency, propulsion and blade loads. The ANSYS simulation and experimental results are presented. These results encourage and reinforce the conviction that vertical axis wind energy conversion systems are practical and potentially very contributive renewable energy system to produce the electricity. In addition, artificial intelligence-based vertical axis wind turbine is found to provide higher performance for wind speed with economical. The proposed window mill with metal case is capable of improving the efficiency by 52% even for low heads of wind speed.

    7th International Conference on Electronics Communication and Aerospace Technology Iceca 2023 Proceedings, 2023
    This research introduces an internet of things (IoT)-enhanced Direct Field-Oriented Control (FOC) (DFOC) method for induction motors (IMs), which is a novel way to improve the efficiency, flexibility, and dependability of electric vehicle (EV) propulsion systems. By decomposing the stator current into elements that generate flux and torque, vector control supplies smooth control of motor torque and speed. The goal of this research is to improve the efficiency of electric propulsion by developing a novel DFOC algorithm that is adapted to the dynamic requirements of EVs. The study provides a real-time monitoring framework that records and processes crucial motor and vehicle performance data by utilizing IoT technology. In addition to facilitating remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, this framework offers fault detection and diagnosis algorithms with the resources it needs to reduce the occurrence of unexpected failures. Both theoretical analysis and experimental verification of components show that the suggested method has the potential to greatly improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of EV motors.
  • Electric Vehicle Battery Charging in Grid System using Fuzzy based Bidirectional Converter
    A. Karthikeyan, N. Suthanthira Vanitha, T. Meenakshi, R. Ramani, S. Murugan
    3rd International Conference on Innovative Mechanisms for Industry Applications Icimia 2023 Proceedings, 2023
    The implementation of electric vehicles (EVs) into photovoltaic (PV) grid systems has received a lot of interest as the globe moves towards a more sustainable energy environment. When it comes to electric transportation, battery charging and recharging are crucial because of the impact they have on the vehicle’s dynamic performance. Using a fuzzy-based bidirectional converter in a PV grid system, this research proposes a unique technique to increase the efficiency with which EV batteries are charged. With its fuzzy logic controller (FLC), the bidirectional converter optimizes charging and discharging operations by controlling the flow of electricity between the PV array, the EV battery, and the grid. In this research, the FLC, a flexible system that can adjust to different settings and loads, is examined in depth. The result shows the enhanced efficacy of the suggested system in terms of charging speed, energy efficiency, and grid interaction via modeling and experimental data. The described method shows possibilities for facilitating the incorporation of EVs into grids powered by renewable energy sources (RES), thereby making transportation systems greener and more sustainable.
  • IoT-Integrated Wearable Skin Sensors for UV Exposure Monitoring and Sun Protection
    R. Ramani, T. Meenakshi, N. Suthanthira Vanitha, A. Karthikeyan, S. Sujatha
    International Conference on Self Sustainable Artificial Intelligence Systems Icssas 2023 Proceedings, 2023
    This study explores the design and implementation of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled skin sensors for tracking UV exposure. It describes the planning, construction, and performance of the skin-mounted sensors. The sensors detect UV radiation in real time; it can monitor a person's exposure to the sun. This information is subsequently sent to IoT platforms for analysis and response. The IoT enables the remote collection of data, analysis, and personalized recommendations for sun safety measures. The research emphasizes the significance of UV exposure understanding in avoiding sunburn and skin cancer. The proposed system takes a preventative approach to sun protection by using wearable skin sensors and IoT to enable consumers to make informed choices regarding their outdoor activities and sun exposure patterns. The potential of such technology to improve public health and increase awareness of UV-related hazards is emphasized.
  • Power Quality Monitoring of a Photovoltaic System Through IoT
    T. Meenakshi, R. Ramani, A. Karthikeyan, N. Suthanthira Vanitha, S. Murugan
    International Conference on Sustainable Communication Networks and Application Icscna 2023 Proceedings, 2023
    The stability and dependability of the grid are of crucial importance as the integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into electricity grids gathers momentum. Because of their bidirectional power flow and intermittent energy production, PV grid systems present a variety of issues when it comes to power quality (PQ). Effective grid management and stability are limited by the fact that conventional monitoring techniques have difficulties in providing real-time insights into harmonics, voltage stability, and transient disturbances. PV grid systems can only function at peak efficiency if the electricity being transmitted and distributed is of the best possible quality. To address the challenge of power quality monitoring in PV grid systems, this research provides an innovative strategy utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) devices and incremental conductance (IC) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Grid operators can immediately identify deviations and problems because of the system's continuous, real-time monitoring of vital power quality metrics, made possible by the IoT. The technology provides predicted insights into power quality fluctuations by analyzing past data and patterns, which improves grid stability and resource allocation. The PV grid system is implemented in Matlab tool and PQ variations may be accurately predicted using historical data, improving grid stability and resource utilization. The study's results will aid in the efficient incorporation of renewable energy sources into the grid by assuring optimum power quality in PV grid systems.

    Materials Today Proceedings, 2020
    This paper presents the performance study of new Dual Output Quasi Z Trans DC-DC converter. The conventional Z source DC-DC converter is modified in the circuitry to generate dual output voltage which could be fed as input to the cascaded multilevel inverters feeding the renewable energy systems. This reduces source count requirement of the cascaded multilevel inverters and efficient operation is obtained by controlling the duty ratio of the converter. The proposed converter is studied for different switching frequencies and duty ratios to identify the optimum value. The circuit model of the proposed DC-DC converter is built in MATLAB /Simulink to analyze the performance and the prototype hardware is developed to validate the findings. The results are discussed and is compared with the literature findings.
