From the Editor’s Box…

Welcome to VOLTAFFAIR, yearly technical magazine of the Department ofElectrical Engineering, Technique Polytechnic Institute. VOLTAFFAIR,however, is not all our name refers to. The name is, to be sure, a nod to themost distinctive feature of the teachers & students of the department tryingto enlighten latest inventions in the field of science.

Far from being just one academic unit among many, the department haslong drawn together itself in the college in broad critical thinking about aimsand methods of education and leaps in the co-curricular & extra-curricularactivities with distinctions.

The department is certainly a centripetal force within the college. Morerecently it has also acted centrifugally, enabling its students to sites aroundthe state to learn, work and make a difference. Studies for higherqualifications have exploded, making Technique Polytechnic Institute agrowing presence beyond the quads, outside the city and in West Bengal.

SMART DISTRIBUTION ELECTRICAL GRIDS

1. INTRODUCTIONmart grid is the future generation power gridsystem that can intelligently integrate all thedevices, consumers and generators associated

with it. Intelligent devices are placed throughout thesmart grid system, which updates the traditionalpower grids by automatic and intelligent controllingof grid using digital technology. Now the electricalgrid in the entire world is trying to change its visageand trying to commence a new era in the electricalengineering track.Indian electrical grid system is facing a lot ofproblems compared to the electrical grid in thedeveloped nations. The major problems faced by theIndian grid system are the wastage of energy, thepower theft, the poor detection method for line fault,and the manual controlling and billing system. Theseproblems mainly affect the economic growth therebysocial welfare of the country.The power theft is one of the major problems facedby Indian electrical grid, which makes a big hole inthe economic system that is liable for the out flow ofa part of the country’s wealth. The line faultdetection method is also poor in existing grid systemsuch that the administrator did not get the specificposition of fault in the transmission line. The smartgrid has sensors throughout the grid system so that itcan solve these two problems very effectively andefficiently. Manual billing and controlling system ofelectrical grid lacks efficiency and wastes manualenergy. This can be solved by the implementation ofa smart grid feature called advanced meteringinfrastructure.

2. ARCHITECTUREThe single phase secondary distribution systemconsists of a step down transformer which stepsdown 11KV to 230V. The phase line is stretchedfrom the transformer to the single phase consumersthrough the transmission line posts. The electricsecondary distribution system is taken as researchsubject as it is more prone to the problems likewastage of energy by the consumers, the powertheft, the poor line fault detection method, andmanual billing and controlling system. To solve theabove mentioned problems, wireless intelligentdevices are placed on the feeder circuit of thetransformer, on the top of every line posts, andassociated with the electric meters of every

consumer. Figure1 shows the schema of the smartdistribution system for India.

Figure 1. Smart distribution system for India

The smart meters in every home measures theaverage power and energy consumption and sendthese parameters to the nearby sensor in the linepost. The energy consumption value will propagatethrough the distribution grid and reaches thecontrolling station. Thus the controlling station canmake bill for each consumer. Thereby automaticbilling feature is capable in the electric grid system.Also by measuring the power in one second, it ispossible to give warning signal in peak time, if anyconsumer exceeds their consumption limit. Thus it ispossible to decrease the wastage of energy by theconsumers.The line post sensor measures the power by its ownand receives the power value from the sensors itdirectly connected. The line post sensors also dosome comparison methods between the measuredpower value and the summation of the receivedpower value. This enables to detect the correctposition of the power theft and line fault in the smartenergy distribution system. This smart distributionsystem efficiently tackles the major problems facedby the Indian grid system.

3. TEST SCENARIO

3.1 Experimentation SetupThe testing scenario consists of three line posts witha phase line and a neutral line passing over theseposts. The smart meter module connected to the testsetup communicates with the controlling station. Thecontrolling station includes the computer system andthe communication module. The smart energymetering circuit transmits the power line parametersto the controlling station. In the controlling station,

the received consumption details are recorded in thedatabase for smart grid.

3.2 Admin Visualization and ConsumerVisualizationThe authority visualization software is developedusing the programming language JAVA. It allowsthe administrative officers to view the changes in theentire electric grid from their offices itself. It showsthe electric grid structure with all the nodes. Thissetup allows the authority to add or delete nodes andit also shows the indications of power theft and linefault in any segment of the transmission line. This

avoids the problem associated with the existinginefficient manual billing system. In the smart gridsystem, the consumer is provided with a unique IDand password. Using these unique details, theconsumer can login and view their details.

4. CONCLUSIONThe architecture for smart distribution grid isproposed in this work. The test scenario for theproposed architecture will demonstrate how thesmart distribution grid architecture solves the majorproblems faced by the Indian electrical grid.

FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS

Md. NISARUDDIN SARKARStudent of Electrical Engineering Department

Technique Polytechnic Institute, Hooghly, West Bengal, India

1. INTRODUCTIONlexible electronics, also known as flex circuits,is a technology for assembling electroniccircuits by mounting electronic devices on

flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, peek ortransparent conductive polyester film. Additionally,flex circuits can be screen printed silver circuits onpolyester. Flexible electronic assemblies may bemanufactured using identical components used forrigid printed circuit boards, allowing the board toconform to a desired shape, or to flex during its use.An alternative approach to flexible electronicssuggests various etching techniques to thin down thetraditional silicon substrate to few tens of micrometersto gain reasonable flexibility, referred to as flexiblesilicon (~ 5 mm bending radius).

Figure 1. Flexible Electronics

2. MANUFACTURINGFlexible printed circuits (FPC) are made with aphotolithographic technology. An alternative way ofmaking flexible foils circuits or Flexible printedcircuits (FPC) are made with a photolithographictechnology. An alternative way of making flexible foilcircuits or flexible flat cable (FFCs) is laminating verythin (0.07 mm) copper strips in between two layers ofPET. These PET layers, typically 0.05 mm thick, arecoated with an adhesive with an adhesive which isthermosetting and will be activated during thelamination process. FPCs and FFCs have severaladvantages in many applications:

Tightly assembled electronic packages, whereelectrical connections are required in 3 axes,such as cameras (static application).

Electrical connections where its normal use,such as folding cell phones (dynamicapplication).

Electrical connections between sub-assemblies to replace wire harnesses, which

are heavier and bulkier, such as in cars,rockets and satellites

Electrical connections where board thickness or spaceconstraints are driving factors

3. ADVANTAGE OF FPCs.1. Potential to replace multiple rigid boards

or connectors.2. Single-sided circuits are ideal for

dynamic or high-flex applications.3. Stacked FPCs in various configurations.

4. DISADVANTAGE OF FPCs.1. Cost increase over rigid PCBs.2. Increased risk of damage during handling or

use.3. More difficult assembly process4. Repair and rework is difficult or impossible.5. Generally worse panel utilization resulting in

increased cost.

5. APPLICATIONS

Figure 2. Flexible LCD

Flex circuits are often used as connectorsin various applications where flexibility,space savings, or production constraintslimit the serviceability of rigid circuitboards or hand wiring. A commonapplication of flex circuits is in computerkeyboards; most keyboards use flexcircuits for the switch matrix.

In LCD fabrication, glass is used as asubstrate. If thin flexible plastic or metalfoil is used as the substrate instead, theentire system can be flexible, as the filmdeposited on top of the substrate is usuallyvery thin, on the order of a fewmicrometres.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)are normally used instead of a back-lightfor flexible displays, making a flexibleorganic light-emitting diode display.

Most flexible circuits are passive wiringstructures that are used to interconnectelectronic components such as integratedcircuits, resistors, capacitors and the like,however some are used only for makinginterconnections between other electronicassemblies either directly or by means ofconnectors.

In the automotive field, flexible circuitsare used in instrument panels, under-hoodcontrols, circuits to be concealed withinthe headliner of the cabin, and in ABSsystems. In computer peripherals flexiblecircuits are used on the moving print headof printers, and to connect signals to themoving arm carrying the read/write headsof disk drives. Consumer electronicsdevices make use of flexible circuits incameras, personal entertainment devices,calculators, or exercise monitors.

Flexible circuits are found in industrialand medical devices where manyinterconnections are required in a compactpackage. Cellular telephones are anotherwidespread example of flexible circuits.

Flexible solar cells have been developedfor powering satellites. These cells arelightweight, can be rolled up for launch,and are easily deployable, making them agood match for the application. They canalso be sewn into backpacks or outerwear.

6. FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT STRUCTURES

Figure 3. Sculptured flex circuit

There are a few basic constructions of flexiblecircuits but there is significant variation between

the different types in terms of their construction.Following is a review of the most common typesof flexible circuit constructions.

6.1 Single-sided flex circuitsSingle-sided flexible circuits have a singleconductor layer made of either a metal orconductive (metal filled) polymer on a flexibledielectric film. Component termination featuresare accessible only from one side. Holes may beformed in the base film to allow component leadsto pass through for interconnection, normally bysoldering. Single sided flex circuits can befabricated with or without such protectivecoatings as cover layers or cover coats, howeverthe use of a protective coating over circuits is themost common practice. The development ofsurface mounted devices on sputtered conductivefilms has enabled the production of transparentLED Films, which is used in LED Glass but alsoin flexible automotive lighting composites.

6.2 Double access or back bared flex circuitsDouble access flex, also known as back baredflex, are flexible circuits having a singleconductor layer but which is processed so as toallow access to selected features of the conductorpattern from both sides. While this type of circuithas certain benefits, the specialized processingrequirements for accessing the features limits itsuse

6.3 Sculptured flex circuitsSculptured flex circuits are a novel subset ofnormal flexible circuit structures. Themanufacturing process involves a special flexcircuit multi-step etching method which yields aflexible circuit having finished copper conductorswherein the thickness of the conductor differs atvarious places along their length. (i.e., theconductors are thin in flexible areas and thick atinterconnection points.).

6.4 Double-sided flex circuitsDouble-sided flex circuits are flex circuits havingtwo conductor layers. These flex circuits can befabricated with or without plated through holes,though the plated through hole variation is muchmore common. When constructed without platedthrough holes and connection features areaccessed from one side only, the circuit is definedas a "Type V (5)" according to militaryspecifications. It is not a common practice but it

is an option. Because of the plated through hole,terminations for electronic components areprovided for on both sides of the circuit, thusallowing components to be placed on either side.Depending on design requirements, double-sidedflex circuits can be fabricated with protectivecover layers on one, both or neither side of thecompleted circuit but are most commonlyproduced with the protective layer on both sides.One major advantage of this type of substrate isthat it allows crossover connections to be madevery easy. Many single sided circuits are built ona double sided substrate just because they haveone of two crossover connections. An example ofthis use is the circuit connecting a mouse-pad tothe motherboard of a laptop. All connections onthat circuit are located on only one side of thesubstrate, except a very small crossoverconnection which uses the second side of thesubstrate

6.5 Multilayer flex circuitsFlex circuits having three or more layers ofconductors are known as multilayer flex circuits.Commonly the layers are interconnected by means ofplated through holes, though this is not a requirementof the definition for it is possible to provide openingsto access lower circuit level features. The layers of themultilayer flex circuit may or may not be continuouslylaminated together throughout the construction withthe obvious exception of the areas occupied by platedthrough-holes. The practice of discontinuouslamination is common in cases where maximumflexibility is required. This is accomplished by leavingunbounded the areas where flexing or bending is tooccur.

6.6 Rigid-flex circuitsRigid-flex circuits are a hybrid construction flexcircuit consisting of rigid and flexible substrateswhich are laminated together into a single structure.Rigid-flex circuits should not be confused withruggedized flex constructions, which are simply flexcircuits to which a stiffener is attached to support theweight of the electronic components locally. Aruggedized or stiffened flex circuit can have one ormore conductor layers. Thus while the two terms maysound similar, they represent products that are quitedifferent.The layers of a rigid flex are also normally electricallyinterconnected by means of plated through holes.Over the years, rigid-flex circuits have enjoyedtremendous popularity among military productdesigner; however the technology has found increaseduse in commercial products. While often considered aspecialty product for low volume applications because

of the challenges, an impressive effort to use thetechnology was made by Compaq computer in theproduction of boards for a laptop computer in the1990s. While the computer's main rigid-flex PCBAdid not flex during use, subsequent designs byCompaq utilized rigid-flex circuits for the hingeddisplay cable, passing 10s of 1000s of flexures duringtesting. By 2013, the use of rigid-flex circuits inconsumer laptop computers is now common.Rigid-flex boards are normally multilayer structures;however, two metal layer constructions are sometimesused.

6.7 Polymer thick film flex circuitsPolymer thick film (PTF) flex circuits are true printedcircuits in that the conductors are actually printed ontoa polymer base film. They are typically singleconductor layer structures, however two or moremetal layers can be printed sequentially withinsulating layers printed between printed conductorlayers, or on both sides. While lower in conductorconductivity and thus not suitable for all applications,PTF circuits have successfully served in a wide rangeof low-power applications at slightly higher voltages.Keyboards are a common application, however, thereare a wide range of potential applications for this cost-effective approach to flex circuit manufacture.

7. FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT MATERIALSEach element of the flex circuit construction mustbe able to consistently meet the demands placedupon it for the life of the product. In addition, thematerial must work reliably in concert with theother elements of the flexible circuit constructionto assure ease of manufacture and reliability.Following are brief descriptions of the basicelements of flex circuit construction and theirfunctions.

7.1 Base material

The base material is the flexible polymer filmwhich provides the foundation for the laminate.Under normal circumstances, the flex circuit basematerial provides most primary physical andelectrical properties of the flexible circuit. In thecase of adhesive less circuit constructions, thebase material provides all of the characteristicproperties. While a wide range of thickness ispossible, most flexible films are provided in anarrow range of relatively thin dimension from12 µm to 125 µm (1/2 mil to 5 mils) but thinnerand thicker material are possible. Thinnermaterials are of course more flexible and for mostmaterial, stiffness increase is proportional to thecube of thickness. Thus for example, means that

if the thickness is doubled, the material becomeseight times stiffer and will only deflect 1/8 asmuch under the same load. There are a number ofdifferent materials used as base films including:polyester (PET), polyimide (PI), polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN), polyetherimide (PEI), alongwith various fluropolymers (FEP) andcopolymers. Polyimide films are most prevalentowing to their blend of advantageous electrical,mechanical, chemical and thermal properties.

7.2 Bonding adhesiveAdhesives are used as the bonding medium forcreating a laminate. When it comes totemperature resistance, the adhesive is typicallythe performance limiting element of a laminateespecially when polyimide is the base material.Because of the earlier difficulties associated withpolyimide adhesives, many polyimide flexcircuits presently employ adhesive systems ofdifferent polymer families. However some newerthermoplastic polyimide adhesives are makingimportant in-roads. As with the base films,adhesives come in different thickness. Thicknessselection is typically a function of the application.For example, different adhesive thickness iscommonly used in the creation of cover layers inorder to meet the fill demands of different copperfoil thickness which may be encountered.

7.3 Metal foilA metal foil is most commonly used as theconductive element of a flexible laminate. Themetal foil is the material from which the circuitpaths are normally etched. A wide variety ofmetal foils of varying thickness are availablefrom which to choose and create a flex circuit,however copper foils, serve the vast majority ofall flexible circuit applications. Copper’sexcellent balance of cost and physical andelectrical performance attributes make it anexcellent choice. There are actually manydifferent types of copper foil. The IPC identifieseight different types of copper foil for printedcircuits divided into two much broader categories,electrodeposited and wrought, each having foursub-types.) As a result, there are a number ofdifferent types of copper foil available for flexcircuit applications to serve the varied purposesof different end products. With most copper foil,a thin surface treatment is commonly applied toone side of the foil to improve its adhesion to the

base film. Copper foils are of two basic types:wrought (rolled) and electrodeposited and theirproperties are quite different. Rolled and annealedfoils are the most common choice, howeverthinner films which are electroplated arebecoming increasingly popular. In certain non-standard cases, the circuit manufacturer may be calledupon to create a specialty laminate by using aspecified alternative metal foil, such as a specialcopper alloy or other metal foil in the construction.This is accomplished by laminating the foil to a basefilm with or without an adhesive depending on thenature and properties of the base film.

2. BOOST CONVERTER MODEL

2.1 Basic Function of Boost Converter

The advancement in switching devices has beenutilized in changing the electrical parameters intowhichever form required. Stepping up or boosting dcvoltage is one such popular application. Theseconverters or regulators are used in many instancesfrom providing small supplies where higher voltagesare needed in higher power requirements.

The boost converter is very much similar to buckconverter but the fundamental circuit for boost or stepup converter consists of an inductor, diode, capacitor,switch and error amplifier with switch controlcircuitry. The circuit for the above mentionedconverter operates by varying the time delay ofenergizing the inductor from the source.

From the figure showed above the operation of theboost converter can be seen that the output voltageappearing across the load is sensed by sensing theerror voltage generated that controls the switch.

The boost converter is controlled by a pulse widthmodulator, of which the switch remains On for longtime so that the current drawn by the load and thevoltage tends to drop and often there is a fixedfrequency oscillator to control the switching.

2.2 Boost Converter Operation

The operation of the boost converter is simple andstraightforward.

When the switch is in the ON position the inductoroutput is connected to the ground and the voltage Vinis placed across it. The current through inductorincreases at a rate equal to Vin/L. As the switch isplaced in the OFF position, the voltage across theinductor changes and is equal to (Vout-Vin)/L.

Figure 6. Circuit diagram of Boost Converter

As referred to the above diagram, the currentwaveforms for the different areas of the circuit are asfollows.

Figure 7. The current waveforms of boost converter

From the above waveforms, it is seen that the inputcurrent to the boost converter is higher than the output

current. Assuming the converter to be lossless thePower output should be equal to power input. i.e.× = ×Therefore the is greater than the .

In reality no boost converter will be lossless, but theefficiency level is around 85% and more may beachieved. Boost converter is used to step up a sourcevoltage to a higher voltage. The gain from boostconverter is directly proportional to the duty cycle(D). The equation is given by-

here,

Fsw = switching frequency,

ΔV = ripple voltage for capacitor,

Im = output current at maximum output power,

Dm = duty cycle at maximum input power,

Δi = ripple current for inductor,

Vinm = input voltage at maximum power point,

Vom= maximum of output voltage.

I designed a boost converter that can delivermaximum 1kW DC power.

3.1 Maximum Power Point Tracker

The solar system efficiency can be enhanced bytracking the maximum power point. The maximumpower point is tracked using the basic principle ofmaximum power transfer theorem which says that aload receives maximum power from source when thesource impedance is equal to load impedance. Themaximum power point tracker is a device that extractsmaximum power from the solar cell and therebychanges the duty ratio of DC-Dc converter in order tomatch the load impedance to that of the source. Solarcells have a complex relationship betweentemperature and total resistance that produces a non-linear output efficiency which can be analyzed basedon the I-V curve. It is the purpose of the MPPTsystem to sample the output of the PV system andapply proper resistance (load) to obtain the maximumpower for any set of environmental conditions. MPPTdevices are typically integrated into an electric powerconverter system that provides voltage or currentconversion, filtering and regulation for driving variousloads, including power grids, batteries or motors.

The solar inverters which convert DC power to ACpower and may incorporate MPPT : such inverterssample the output power (I_V curve) from the solar

modules and apply the proper resistance (load) so asto obtain maximum power.

The power at the MPP (Pmpp) is the product of theMPP voltage (Vmpp) and MPP current (Impp)

There are many methods to track the maximum powerpoint. The Perturb &Observe (P&O) type MPPT is themost popular.

3.2 Perturb & Observe (P&O) MPPTAlgorithm

There are many method of MPPT out of whichPerturb & Observe (P&O) technique is mostly used bythe researcher due to its simplicity and cost effective.This method works on an algorithm that first PV panelterminal voltage and current are measured andcorresponding value of power is measured denoted byP (n − 1). The detail algorithm is shown in below flowchart Figure 3 which describes the algorithm fordesigning the MPP system using P&O by Matlabsimulation (Femia, Petrone, Spagnuolo, & Vitelli,2005). In this algorithm, the module voltage isperiodically given a perturbation and thecorresponding output power P (n) is compared withthe previous perturbing cycle P (n − 1). In thisalgorithm a slight perturbation is introduce to thesystem. If the power increases i.e. P (n) − P (n − 1) >0 due to the perturbation then the perturbation iscontinued in the same direction and the duty cycle ofthe boost converter will increase or decreasedepending upon PV panel voltage i.e. D + ΔD for V(n) – V (n − 1) > 0 and D − ΔD for the case V (n) − V(n − 1) < 0. After the peak power is reached the powerat the MPP is zero i.e. at P (n) − P (n − 1) = 0 and nextinstant power decreases and hence after that theperturbation is reverses. Where V (n) is the PV panelterminal voltage in (V), V (n − 1) is voltage due toperturbation in (V), I (n) is the PV panel current in(A), P (n) is the PV panel power in (W), P (n − 1) isthe power due to perturbation in (W), D is the dutycycle of boost converter, where ΔD is the change induty cycle.

3.3 Proposed Incremental Conductance (IC)Method

Incremental conductance method generally usesvoltage and current sensors to detect the outputvoltage and current of the PV array. The complexityof the algorithm increases therefore. The slope of thePV curve is zero at Maximum Power Point. Theincremental conductance (IncCond) method is basedon the fact that the slope of the PV array power curveis zero at the Maximum Power Point, positive on theleft of the Maximum Power Point, and negative on theright, which is given by dP/dV = 0, at MPP dP/dV >0, left of MPP dP/dV < 0, right of Maximum PowerPoint. Since, dP/dV= d(IV )/dV= I + VdI/dV=I+VΔI/ΔV can be rewritten as-

ΔI/ΔV = −I/V, at MPP ΔI/ΔV > − I/V, left of MPPΔI/ΔV < − I/V, right of Maximum Power Point. TheMaximum Power Point can thus be tracked bycomparing the instantaneous conductance (I/V) to theincremental conductance (ΔI/ΔV). Vref is thereference voltage at which the PV array is forced tooperate. At the MPP, Vref equals to VMPP. Once theMaximum Power Point is reached, the operation ofthe PV array is maintained at this point unless achange in ΔI is noted, indicating a change inatmospheric conditions and the Maximum PowerPoint. The algorithm decrements or increments Vrefto track the new Maximum Power Point. The Flowchart shown below -

4. COMPARISON OF P&O TYPE AND ICTYPE MPPT

The P & O and IC MPPT algorithms are simulatedand compared using the same conditions. Whenatmospheric conditions are constant or change slowly,the P&O MPPT oscillates close to MPP but IC findsthe MPP accurately at changing atmosphericconditions also.

GRAPHENE

SNEHASHIS DASLecture of Electrical Engineering Department

Technique Polytechnic Institute, Hooghly, West Bengal, India

1. INTRODUCTIONGraphene is a semimetal with small overlap betweenthe valence and the conduction bands (zero band gapmaterial). It is an allotrope (form) of carbon consistingof a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in ahexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element ofmany other allotropes of carbon, such as graphite,diamond, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.Graphene and its band structure and Dirac cones,effect of a grid on doping It can be considered as anindefinitely large aromatic molecule, the ultimate caseof the family of flat polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons. Graphene has many uncommonproperties. It is the strongest material ever tested,conducts heat and electricity efficiently, and is nearlytransparent. Graphene shows a large and nonlineardiamagnetism, greater than that of graphite, and canbe levitated by neodymium magnets.

2. PROPERTIES

Figure 1. Molecular structure of graphene

Graphene is the thinnest compound known to man atone atom thick, the lightest material known (with 1square meter weighing around 0.77 milligrams), thestrongest compound discovered (between 100-300times stronger than steel and with a tensile stiffness of150,000,000 psi), the best conductor of heat at roomtemperature (at (4.84±0.44) × 10^3 to (5.30±0.48) ×10^3 W·m−1·K−1) and also the best conductor ofelectricity known (studies have shown electronmobility at values of more than 200,000cm2·V−1·s−1). Other notable properties ofgraphene are its uniform absorption of light across thevisible and near-infrared parts of the spectrum (πα ≈2.3%), and its potential suitability for use in spintransport.

3. GRAPHENE PRODUCTIONSCHALLENGESThe problem that prevented graphene from initiallybeing available for developmental research incommercial uses was that the creation of high qualitygraphene was a very expensive and complex process(of chemical vapour disposition) that involved the useof toxic chemicals to grow graphene as a monolayerby exposing Platinum, Nickel or Titanium Carbide toethylene or benzene at high temperatures. Also, it waspreviously impossible to grow graphene layers on alarge scale using crystalline epitaxy on anything otherthan a metallic substrate. This severely limited its usein electronics as it was difficult, at that time, toseparate graphene layers from its metallic substratewithout damaging the graphene.

However, studies in 2012 found that by analyzinggraphene’s interfacial adhesive energy, it is possibleto effectually separate graphene from the metallicboard on which it is grown, whilst also being able toreuse the board for future applications theoretically aninfinite number of times, therefore reducing the toxicwaste previously created by this process. Furthermore,the quality of the graphene that was separated byusing this method was sufficiently high enough tocreate molecular electronic devices successfully.

4. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONSBeing able to create super capacitors out ofgraphene will possibly be the largest step in electronicengineering in a very long time. While thedevelopment of electronic components has beenprogressing at a very high rate over the last 20 years,power storage solutions such as batteries andcapacitors have been the primary limiting factor dueto size, power capacity and efficiency (most types ofbatteries are very inefficient, and capacitors are evenless so). For example, with the development ofcurrently available lithium-ion batteries, it is difficultto create a balance between energy density and powerdensity; in this situation, it is essentially aboutcompromising one for the other.

In initial tests carried out, laser-scribed graphene(LSG) super capacitors (with graphene being the mostelectronically conductive material known, at 1738Siemens per meter (compared to 100 SI/m foractivated carbon)), were shown to offer power densitycomparable to that of high-power lithium-ion batteriesthat are in use today. Not only that, but also LSG

super capacitors are highly flexible, light, quick tocharge, thin and as previously mentioned, comparablyvery inexpensive to produce. Graphene is also beingused to boost not only the capacity and charge rate ofbatteries but also the longevity. Currently, while suchmaterials as silicone are able to store large amounts ofenergy, that potential amount diminishes drasticallyon every charge or recharge. With graphene tin oxidebeing used as an anode in lithium ion batteries forexample, batteries can be made to last much longerbetween charges (potential capacity has increased by afactor of 10), and with almost no reduction in storagecapacity between charges, effectively makingtechnology such as electronically powered vehicles amuch more viable transport solution in the future.This means that batteries (or capacitors) can bedeveloped to last much longer and at higher capacitiesthan previously realized. Also, it means that electronicdevices may be able to be charged within seconds,rather than minute or hours and have hugely improvedlongevity. Consumers can already purchase graphene-enhanced products to use at home. One companyalready produces and offers on the market conductiveink (first developed by researchers at the University ofCambridge in 2011). This is made by effectivelymixing tiny graphene flakes with ink, enabling you toprint electrodes directly onto paper. While this waspreviously possible by using organic semi conductiveink, the use of graphene flakes makes the printedmaterial vastly more conductive and therefore moreefficient.

Another use for graphene along similar lines to thosementioned previously is that in paint. Graphene ishighly inert and so can act as a corrosion barrierbetween oxygen and water diffusion. This could meanthat future vehicles could be made to be corrosionresistant as graphene can be made to be grown ontoany metal surface (given the right conditions). Due toits strength, graphene is also currently beingdeveloped as a potential replacement for Kevlar inprotective clothing, and will eventually be seen invehicle manufacture and possibly even used as abuilding material. As graphene has been proven to bemuch more efficient at conducting electrons thansilicon, and is also able to transfer electrons at muchfaster speeds (relatively speaking, 1000 kilometers persecond, 30 times faster than silicon), in the next fewyears you will begin to see products from consumerelectronics companies, such as Samsung (who havebeen pouring money into researching the uses ofgraphene in telecommunications and electronics andhave already taken out a huge number of patentsconcerned with the uses and manufacture of graphenein electronic devices) based on flexible, robust,touchscreen devices such as mobile smartphones andwrist watches.

This could mean foldable televisions and telephonesand eventually electronic flexible newspaperscontaining all of the publications you are interested inthat can be updated via wireless data transfer. Beingextremely translucent, in the coming years you canalso expect to be able to fit intelligent (and extremelyrobust) windows to your home, with (potentially)virtual curtains or displaying projected images of yourchoice.

Combining a few of these aforementioned potentialuses, can you imagine car security systems that areconnected to the paint on your vehicle? Not onlywould your car alarm be able to tell you if someone istouching your vehicle, it would be able to record thatinformation and send it to you via your smartphone inreal-time. It could also be used to analyses vehicleaccidents to determine initial contact patches andresultant consequential energy dispersion. Soon wewill begin to see clothing containing graphene-enhanced photovoltaic cells and super capacitors,meaning that we will be able to charge our mobiletelephones and tablet computers in a matter of minutes(potentially even seconds) whilst walking to school orwork. We may possibly even see security-orientatedclothing offering protection against unwanted contactwith the use of electrical discharge.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETYThe toxicity of graphene has been extensivelydebated. A review on graphene toxicity summarizedthe in vitro, in vivo, antimicrobial and environmentaleffects and highlights the various mechanisms ofgraphene toxicity. Nanotubes of graphene couldreproduce the effects of asbestosis. The toxicity ofgraphene depends on its shape, size, purity, post-production processing steps, oxidative state,functional groups, dispersion state, synthesis methods,route, dose of administration, and exposure times.Graphene Nano ribbons, graphene Nano platelets, andgraphene Nano–onions are non-toxic at concentrationsup to 50 µg/ml. These nanoparticles do not alter thedifferentiation of human bone marrow stem cellstowards osteoblasts (bone) or adipocytes (fat)suggesting that at low doses graphene nanoparticlesare safe for biomedical applications. 10 µm few-layered graphene flakes were able to pierce cellmembranes in solution. They were observed to enterinitially via sharp and jagged points, allowinggraphene to enter the cell. The physiological effects ofthis remain uncertain, and this remains a relativelyunexplored field yet to be come to known in nearfuture

ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) ANDTECHNOLOGIES

KAUSTAV MALLICKLecture of Electrical Engineering Department

Technique Polytechnic Institute, Hooghly, West Bengal, India

Demand for advanced driver-assistance systems(ADAS)—those that help with monitoring, warning,braking, and steering tasks—is expected to increase overthe next decade, fueled largely by regulatory andconsumer interest in safety applications that protectdrivers and reduce accidents.

Although ADAS applications are still in their early days,original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and theirsuppliers realize that they could eventually become themain feature differentiating automotive brands, as well asone of their most important revenue sources. And thesame technologies that enable today’s ADAS offeringscould also be used to create fully autonomous vehicles,which are now a major focus of research anddevelopment, both at OEMs and at high-tech players thathave recently entered the automotive sector, includingGoogle. Any ADAS technology that gains early supportcould therefore have an advantage if self-driving carsreach the market.

Recently Minister of Road Transport and Highways ofIndia, Nitin Gadkari, shared that the government isplanning to make ADAS (Advanced DriverAssistance System) as a mandatory feature inupcoming cars. The ministry aims to implement theplan on all new vehicles (heavy-duty included) byearly-2022. Likely by upcoming era ADAS toBecome Standard in Indian Cars too. ADAS is asafety package which includes features such asElectronic Stability Control (ESC) or traction control,ABS, lane assist and adaptive cruise control. All thesefeatures combined, any vehicle will have far lesserchances of involving in an accident when compared toa regular car.

Let’s have a brief overview on ADAS levels:Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) has definedsix levels of autonomy for self-driving:

Level 0 (No automation): The human driver controlsall aspects of driving – from steering to operating thepedals, monitoring surroundings, navigating, anddetermining when to signal or maneuver. Nointervening vehicle system is there. Driver performsall driving tasks.

Level 1 (Driver assistance): Vehicles in somedriving modes, can handle steering or throttle and

braking – but never both. Some driving assist featuressuch as self-parking and lane assistance fall into thisbracket may be included in the vehicle design.However, the driver must be ready to take over thosefunctions if called upon by the vehicle.

Level 2 (Partial assistance): Vehicles can handle thesteering and throttle as well as braking in somedriving modes. The driver has to be alert at all timesand ready to take over the control of the vehicle, andis still responsible for monitoring the surroundings,traffic and road conditions.An example of Level 2 autonomy is Tesla’s Autopilot

Level 3(Conditional assistance): The vehicle canmonitor its surroundings, change lanes, and cancontrol the steering, throttle and braking in certainsituations, such as on motorways. However, the drivermust be ready to take back control of the vehicle whenrequired. When the system reaches its limits the driveris alerted to take over the driving.

The new Audi A8 is the first production car to haveLevel 3 autonomy. At the push of a button, the A8′sAI Traffic Jam Pilot manages starting, steering,throttle and braking in slow-moving traffic at up to60km/h on major roads where a physical barrierseparates the two carriageways.

Level 4 (High automation): Level 4 automated carscan drive themselves with a human driver onboard.The car takes control of the starting, steering throttleand braking as well as monitoring its surroundings ina wide range of environments and handling theparking duties. When the conditions are right, thedriver can switch the car to autonomous mode then sitback, relax and take their eyes off the road. When thevehicle encounters something that it cannot read orhandle it will request the assistance of the driver.However, even if the driver does not intervene andsomething goes wrong, the car will continue tomanoeuvre autonomously.

Google/Waymo self-driving vehicle has beenoperating at the level of autonomy for a few years.

Level 5 (Driverless): At this level, the vehicle needsno human control at all. It doesn’t need to havepedals, or a steering wheel, or even a human onboard.

As of now, very few manufacturers offer vehicleswith ADAS. Among those automakers are Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Auto — two major names in theautomotive industry when it comes to safety.However, being premium brands, the form of ADASused is much more sophisticated than what can beimplemented on a large scale.

Some forms of ADAS can also include blind-spotwarning and driver fatigue monitoring. At this point, itis not sure whether such advanced features wouldcome to all cars but sources suggest that autonomous

emergency braking is surely in the plans. Hopefully,the new move can reduce the rising road casualty ratesin India.

Currently, the road casualty rate in India is almostnear 1.5 lakh a year; one of the highest in the world. IfADAS comes as a standard feature on all newvehicles sold in India, the rate of road-related deathswill come down by a good margin. However, ifbrands have to implement such a feature on all cars,the cost of production and also the final market pricewill shoot up. Even today, many cars are not offeredmore than two airbags or ABS to cut costs.

MAGNETIC LEVITATION METHODS AND MODELING INMAGLEV TRAINS

RAJEEV KUMARLecture of Electrical Engineering Department

Technique Polytechnic Institute, Hooghly, West Bengal, India

1. MAGNETIC LEVITATION (EDS ANDEMS)Magnet interact through the Electro dynamicsuspension system and Electromagnetic suspensionsystem, and superconductor also interact through it.Magnetic levitation related to FARADAY’S LAWand LENZ’S LAW. Its working principle is that whena current flow through the coil then induces amagnetic field. Electro dynamic suspension (EDS)describes the EDS based trains has been developed bythe Japanese engineers. It uses the magnet which hasthe same polarity and generate the repulsive force.Repulsive force, then will be high enough toovercome gravitational force and allows it to levitate.If we talk about the electromagnetic suspension(EMS) then it uses the attractive force system whichallows to levitate. Conductors will be attracted by thetrain’s magnet.The attractive force between them willovercome the gravitational force. This will in turnlevitates the train on the track.

Fig1. Magnetic Levitation Model

2. MODELLING OF MAGNETICLEVITATION

Here we describe the modelling of magnetic levitationin the three parts –1) Electromagnetic Dynamic Modeling,2) Mechanical Modeling,

Electromagnetic Dynamic Modeling- Theelectromagnetic force is induced by the Current whichis flowing through the electromagnetic coil in themodel below.

Fig 2. Schematic diagram of magnetic levitation

so we solve this model by Kirchhoff’s voltage law:V_in=V_R+V_L=iR+d/dt L(x)iWhere,V_in - applied voltagei - Current in Electromagnet coilR - Resistance of coilL - Coil of Inductance.Mechanical Modeling when the ball is in balanceposition then F_g=F_em it means both the forceselectromagnetic force will be equal to gravitationalforce.

Fig 3: Magnetic Levitation with free body diagram

We applied here Newton’s 3rd law of motion whileneglecting friction, then the net force on the ball willbe-F_net=F_g-F_emmx = mg- C (〖(i⁄x)〗^2

Where,G - gravitational constantC - magnetic force constant

Magnetic levitation has a very advanced and efficienttechnology. We can use of it in industrial purpose aswell as in office and homelike as the fan in buildings,transportation, weapon(gun, rocketry), nuclear reactor,use of elevator in civil engineering, toys, pen.So it hasmany applications which are using in the wholeworld. It gives the clean energy and it’s all applicationgives the lack of contact and thus no friction.Magnetic levitation improves efficiency and life of thesystem. It reduces the maintenance costs of thesystem. With the help of in this paper we tried toexplain the advantage of it and theneed of it in futureengineering and the world. So we can say it is thefuture of flying trains and cars.

CHALLENGES OF INDIA’S 2020 VISION REGARDINGRENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY

AVIJIT KARMAKARLecture of Electrical Engineering Department

Technique Polytechnic Institute, Hooghly, West Bengal, India

According to Global Data, if India does not make anychanges to its renewable energy policy, it will notreach the ambitious target of installation of 175 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2022Recently, India’s effort to accelerate the green energycapacity through auction for 1,200 megawatt (MW)‘hybrid’ projects suffered a major setback as thebidders stayed away from the proceedings.This is the second renewable auction to have failed inOctober 2018, forcing the state-run Solar EnergyCorporation of India (SECI) to extend the deadline forthe fifth time. The tender for hybrid projects, whichencompasses both wind and solar units at the samesite, has now been extended till 14 November 2018.Mohit Prasad, Power Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Inspite of SECI reducing the tender capacity to half ofthe earlier announced capacity, investors kept away onaccount of policies associated with it. Policy mandateslike tariff ceiling, safeguard duty and mandatedmanufacturing capacity are responsible for theinvestors staying away from the auctions.”The government has set a tariff ceiling of $0.035/unitfor the hybrid projects. Developers, on the other hand,feel that there should not be any ceiling since the tariffshould be driven by the wind density, solarirradiance and the associated competition.Another deal-breaker is that the tender is forcingdevelopers to enter into the manufacturing sector,which is definitely not their core competence. In orderto bid for a project of minimum 2,000 MW of powerpurchase agreements, the developers are required toset up a 600 MW of manufacturing facility.In addition, the government has offered a power off-take commitment for two years. Project developersfeel that the commitment should be at least for fiveyears so that there is a continuous flow of revenue.Prasad concludes: “India is currently dependent on85% of imports of solar products from China.However, the safeguard duty (SGD) of 25% onimports of solar components from China is drivinginvestors away from tenders announced bygovernment bodies. Furthermore, the decision to passthe impact of SGD to consumers while setting a tariffceiling is also making the investors to channelise theirinvestments in a different direction rather thaninvesting in solar auctions.

“Unless the government does not make any policychanges, the developers would not be participating inauctions, which ultimately can derail India’s

ambitious target of installing 175 GW of renewableenergy by 2022.”
