Item Arduino based three phase automatic fault detection alaysis(AIKTC, 2021-05) Khatik, Tanveer Husain; Khan, Mohammed Saif (18DEE13); Shaikh, Danish (18DEE27); Ansari, Shamoil (18DEE03); Mulla, Musab (18DEE18)Till last decades, a million miles of cables are threaded in the air across the country. But currently it is laid in the underground, which is larger to an earlier method. Because, underground cables are not affected by any adverse weather condition like pollution, heavy rainfall, snow and storm, etc. But, when any problem occurs in cable. it is very difficult to find the exact locati()n of the fault due to not knowing the exact location of the cable. Day by day, the world is becoming digitized so the project is proposed to find the location of fault in digital way. When the fault occurs, the process of repairing related to that pa1ticular cable is very difficult. The fault of the cable mainly occurs due to many reasons. They are inconsistent, any defect, weakness of the cable, insulation failure and breaking of the conductor. To overcome this problem, here is a project namely underground cable fault distance locator, used to find the location of the fault for underground cable. Before attempting to find undergrouDd cable faults on direct bidden cable, it is essential to know where the cable is situated and what direction it takes. Since it is extremely difficult to find a cable fault without knowing where the cable is. it makes sense to master cable locating and tracking before start the fault locating process .The success of fault tracking and locating of an underground cable is mainly depends on the skill, knowledge and experience of that person. Although tracing of the cable can be an intricate job, it will very likely become even more complex as more underground plant is installed. It is just as important to understand how the equipment works.Item Ultra-fast electronic circuit breaker(AIKTC, 2021-05) Qureshi, Tahoora; Khan, Mohammed Omair Mohiuddin (18DEE12); Ansari, Mohammed Zeeshan (18DEE15); Momin Mohd Huzaifa, Mohammed Dawood (18DEE13); Akarsh, Akhilesh (18DEE01)The outline of the project is to shut down the power supply when it is overloaded. Conventional circuit breaker is based on thermal bimetal lever trip mechanism, which is very slow and the trip time is dependent upon the percentage of overload. Electronic circuit breaker is based on the voltage drop across a series element typically a low value resistor or a CT (current Transformer). The voltage sensed is compared against the preset voltage proportional to the current by a level comparator to generate an output for the Relay or contactor to trip the load. The unit is extremely fast and overcomes the drawback of the thermal type.Item Over voltage/under voltage load protection with GSM alert(AIKTC, 2021-05) Qureshi, Tahoora; Khan, Asraf Anees (18DEE10); Momin, Hashir Raza Nasir Hussain (18DEE16); Sayyed, Mohd Auf Waqas Ahd. (18DEE24); Shaikh, Adil Mushtaque (18DEE26)This project aims to build a system that monitors voltage and provides a breakpoint based low and high voltage tripping mechanism that avoids any damage to the load. Various industrial and domestic systems consist of fluctuation in the AC mains supply. There is a chance of damaging electronic devices that are quite sensitive to these fluctuations. So there needs to be a tripping system that avoids any damage to these loads. This system also includes 8051 microcontroller which finds out the voltage level which is displayed on the LCD screen. This microcontroller not only finds out the voltage level but also send SMS via GSM modem which alerts the user whenever the voltage level is crosses the limits. Our system consists of a tripping mechanism that monitors the input voltage and trips according to limits provides. Here we use a quad comparator IC with two more comparators to be used as window comparators to it. Well the system delivers an error as soon as the input voltage falls out of the window range. This trigger then operates a relay that cuts off the load to avoid any damage to it. We here use a lamp to demonstrate as a load. Well the system is also configured with an alarm that goes on as soon as tripping takes place.Item Electromagnetic space shuttle launcher(AIKTC, 2021-05) Patel, Iftekar; Swaraj, Rasmin Jadhav (18DEE05); Umesh, Yadneshwar Joshi (18DEE06); Khan, Ashfaque Hamid Hussain (18DEE09); Pawar, Mayuri Shantaram (18DEE22)The aim of this project is to present experimental research information on coil-guns and related topics.

Shafique, (17EE24); Khan, Mohd. Faizan (17EE25); Pawaskar, Abdulmateen (17EE30)The goal of this thesis was to develop a laboratory prototype of a solar tracking system, which is able to enhance the performance of the photovoltaic modules in a solar energy system. The operating principle of the device is to keep the photovoltaic modules constantly aligned with the sunbeams, which maximizes the exposure of solar panel to the Sun’s radiation. As a result, more output power can be produced by the solar panel. The work of the project included hardware design and implementation, together with software programming for the microcontroller unit of the solar tracker. The system utilized an ATmega328P microcontroller to control motion of two servo motors, which rotate solar panel in two axes. The amount of rotation was determined by the microcontroller, based on inputs retrieved from four photo sensors located next to solar panel. At the end of the project, a functional solar tracking system was designed and implemented. It was able to keep the solar panel aligned with the sun, or any light source repetitively. Design of the solar tracker from this project is also a reference and a starting point for the development of more advanced systems in the future.Item Forest fire detection system using IOT(AIKTC, 2021-05) Hule, Shraddha; Shaikh, Afroz Rafique (17EE01); Nalawade, Apurna Ankush (18DEE19); Patil, Darshana Devaba (18DEE20); Shaikh, Ansal Aamir (15EE37)In recent days, satellite-based surveillance gadget is used to notice wooded area hearth however this works when fireplace is unfold in the massive area. So these methods are no longer efficient. According to a survey, about 80% losses are accumulated in the woodland due to the late detection of fire. To overcome this two, we proposed a new method to predict and the fire at early stages . In our proposed method the hardware kit with temperature , soil moisture and humidity sensor is connected to the Mobile and it is deployed in many places in the forest area. The Mobile is connected with the Internet . The details collected using sensor is upload with the fixed interval time. Then this data is uploaded to the cloud application. If the forest temperature is increased abnormally this will detect send notification to the forest authorities then the fire alarm will rung .It can also predict the fire that will be occur in future by using machine learning . This can be used in all kind of forest and considering the effectiveness of the sensors it be also used in industrial areas.Item Automatic street light using buck-boost relay and solar panel(AIKTC, 2021-05) Hule, Shraddha; Qureshi, Altamash Shabbir (17DEE60); Khan, Faisal Khan Shabbir Khan Pathan (17DEE52); Singh, Pritam Kumar Brajkumar (16DEE85); Ansai, Mohd.

Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power. So, the increase in reactive power (real power) increases the apparent power, so the power factor also decreases. By having a low power factor , the industry needs more energy to meet its demand, so the efficiency decreases. In this system , we proposed the time lag between zero voltage pulse and zero current pulse delay generated by suitable op-amp circuits in comparator mode and fed into two interrupt pins in the microcontroller. The microcontroller displays the power loss due to inductive load on the LCD. This process is continuously actuated until the power loss would be zero by using relays which are used to bring the shunt capacitors into the load circuit. an 8-bit microcontroller is used in this project which belongs to the 8051 family.Item Electrification using concentrated mini solar thermal power generation(AIKTC, 2021-05) Syed, Kaleem; Wadkar, Aniket Narayan (18DEE30); Patil, Ravindra Shamrao (18DEE21); Khanvilkar, Raj Govind (18DEE14); Utekar, Pallavi Rajendra (18DEE29); Shaikh, Sajjad Ahmed (15DEE26)The development of solar thermal power generation has been implemented in various places in India. Activities are proposed on research, design and development in the area of solar thermal energy with a view to lead deployment and commercialization of technologies for power generation. We surveyed about India and to know that even today many area are not electrified of some states. And in Maharashtra there are some pockets were still electricity is not been reach effectively. There are 88 remote villages are still not electrified. And in Maharashtra we located a village named as Goradi which is located in district of Nandurbar. So we surveyed Goradi village and we came to know about the Geographical condition, Location, Land, etc of the area. And we came to know that this place is suitable to setup a solar thermal plant. So we collected information about concentrated solar thermal and we and our guide thought that this project can be made for the social awareness. And then we studied about this project's equipment, calculations, future scopes, drawbacks, applications. Then we made Mini Solar Thermal Power Plant with help of a video, reference books and previous surveys . And for the solar thermal energy consumption we replicated the Goradi village to make a model. We have prepared the model of Actual Village in which we have shown towers, poles, transformers and houses. And we want to show how solar thermal energy is suitable to generate and transmit energy to a non electrified village.Item IOT based automatic vehicle acciedent detection and rescue system(AIKTC, 2021-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Khan, Shahzer Mushtaque (18DEE25); Sayyed, Abbas Arif (18DEE23); Shaikh, Mohammed Adnan Firoz Ahmed (18DEE28); Khan, Arshad Mansoor Ahmad (18DEE08)It gives me immense pleasure to present this project on “ AUTOMATIC VEHICLE ACCIDENT DETECTION AND RESCUE SYSTEM” carried out at AIKTC, New Panvel in accordance with prescribed syllabus of University of Mumbai for Electrical Engineering.

The project output resets automatically after a brief interruption in the event temporary fault while it remains in tripped condition in case of permanent fault. The electrical substation which supply the power to the consumers, have failures due to some faults which can be temporary or permanent. These faults lead to substantial damage to the power system equipment. In India it is common, The faults might be LG (Line to Ground), LL (Line to Line), 3L (Three lines)in the supply systems and these faults in three phase supply system can affect the power system. To overcome this problem a system is built, which can sense these faults and automatically disconnects the supply to avoid large scale damage to the control gears in the grid sub-stations. This system is built using three single phase transformers which are wired in star input and star output, and 3 transformers are connected in delta connections, having input 220 volt and output at 12 volt. This concept low voltage testing of fault conditions is followed as it is not advisable to create on mains line. 555 timers are used for handling short duration and long duration fault conditions. A set of switches are used to create the LL, LG and 3L fault in low voltage side, for activating the tripping mechanism. Short duration fault returns the supply to the load immediately called as temporary trip while long duration shall result in permanent trip. The concept in the future can be extended to developing a mechanism to send message to the authorities via SMS by interfacing a GSM modem.Item Solar streets light with auto intensity controller(AIKTC, 2021-05) Farade, Rizwan; Mapari, Zaid (17EE14); Shaikh, Mohammad Aafaque (17EE19); Shah, Shahbaaz (15EE35); Banker, Junaid (17EE06)The project is designed for LED based street lights with an auto intensity control that uses solar power from photovoltaic cells. A charge controller circuit is used to control the charging of the battery, and an LDR is used to sense the ambient light on day time. We have also at-tempted to measure the solar cell parameters through multiple sensor data acquisition. In this system, different parameters of the solar panel like light intensity, voltage, current and temperature are monitored using a microcontroller of the PIC16F8 family. The intensity of street lights is required to be kept high during the peak hours. The street lights are switched on at the dusk and then switched off at the dawn automatically by using a sensing device LDR LED lights are the future of lighting, because of their low energy consumption and long life they are fast replacing conventional lights world over. White light emitting diode (LED) replaces the HID lamps where intensity control is possible by pulse width modulation. A programmable microcontroller of the 8051 family is engaged to provide different intensities at different times of the night using PWM technique, for energy saving for solar based system, also using a charge controller for protecting the battery from over charging, overload and deep discharge protection. A light sensing device LDR (Light Dependent Resistance) is used whose resistance reduces drastically in day light for sensing purposes. In the measuring circuit the light intensity is monitored using an LDR sensor, the voltage by voltage divider principle, the current by current sensor and the temperature by temperature sensor.Item Electromagnetic space shuttle launcher(AIKTC, 2021-05) Farade, Rizwan; Shaikh, Azim (17DEE71); Chagan, Musab (17DEE42); Shaikh, Afsal (17DEE62); Singh, Rohit (17DEE72)In this project we are developing the Electromagnetic antinuclear launcher for missile launching and space shuttle launching, this works on principle of magnetizing and demagnetizing of coil.

Using its standard offline simulation modules, ETAP can utilize real-time operating data for advanced monitoring, real-time simulation, and optimization and energy management systems. It is invented and started in California, USA from1986. It is widely used for more than 30 years for power system studies across the world. ETAP has been designed and developed by engineers for engineers to handle the diverse discipline of power systems for a broad spectrum of industries in one integrated package with multiple interface views such as AC and DC networks, cable raceways, ground grid, GIS, panels, arc flash, WTG, protective device coordination/selectivity, and AC and DC control system diagrams. The project is based on load flow analysis of power system using etap software. Load flow analysis helps to determine the active power flow, reactive power flow, power factor, losses, bus voltage profiles etc. in the system. The study also target to analyse the load flow result outcomes, its improvement and mitigation. Here, initially we have considered a simple SLD and modelled it in the etap software. Additionally, the simulated results from the etap software for simple SLD are compared and validated with the manual calculation also. Further, the main SLD is constructed in etap with the detailed modelling of electrical equipment’s such as grid, transformers, loads etc. The project is performed with consideration of two configurations ‘Normal Configuration’ and ‘One_TR_Out Configuration’. The load flow study results are simulated for various operating conditions (maximum, minimum and normal) of generator and load. From the study results it is observed that during Minimum load flow case overvoltage’s are observed at 0.415 kV LV buses Bus3 & Bus5 as 107.7 %. However, with +2.5% tap setting of transformers T2 & T4 the voltages at Bus3 & Bus5 reduces within the voltage violation limit of ± 5%. During maximum load flow case it is observed that transformer T1 is supplying power to all downstream system of 6.6 kV and 0.415 kV (as the other two transformer’s T3 & T4 are out of service) causes overloading of transformer T1. To overcome this situation, the transformer T1 & T3 ratings are increased to 31.25 MVA using ONAF cooling; and OLTC tap limit to increased to ±15%. With this solution, it is observed that there is no overloading of any equipment an also the bus voltage profiles are well within the acceptable limit of ±5%.Item Case study on manufacture of panel and capacitor bank(AIKTC, 2020-05) Sayed, Kaleem; Dalvi, Prasad Satappa (17DEE45); Tandale, Harshada Vijay (17DEE48); Karanjvade, Shubham Ananda (17DEE50)As we know that power system load is increasing day by day as the industrial and commercial load are increasing . In modern power system most of the load is inductive load to compensate this inductive load capacitive load is must require . Inductive load is consume reactive power in the system which affect generation of plant the main application of apfc panel is it has automatic capacitor which connected according to requirement of reactive power. Control Panel as the name implies, are used to provide proper control of operations of any electrical equipment’s. These are also used to protect the electrical. Equipment’s from being damaged due to various faults like short circuit, overload and Earth leakage etc. Electrical control panels and capacitor bank are important system or equipment in electrical industries also in other industries so we going to do a case study on that. They are found in factories to monitor and control machines or production lines and in places such as nuclear power plants, ships, and aircraft and mainframe computers. protection is mainly provided through panels. A panel is used for controlling and giving the indication about the faults in system or any machines etc. It also disconnect the system from supply of there is a fault. Different panels are used for different location, scheme of protection, according to consumer demand etc. In which some of the panels are RTCC, MBox, TJB, etc. Here we deal with different methods or steps that are involved in dedication of our group members. Capacitor banks are applied in power systems to provide reactive power. The reactive power results in lower current in lines upstream of the bank improving system voltage and power factor and reducing line losses. Capacitor banks can be configured as filters for harmonic reduction. The protection systems for capacitor banks include fuses, surge arresters, and protective relays. This paper focuses on protective relaying philosophies of grounded and ungrounded Y-connected shunt capacitor banks, which are commonly applied on industrial and utility power systems.Item Designing and modelling of photo-voltaic cell(AIKTC, 2020-05) Sayed, Kaleem; Chavan, Rohan Raghoji (17DEE44); Parte, Prathamesh Sunil (16EE23); Shaikh, Mohammed Aftab (17DEE65); Parkar, Abid Akhtar (14EE64)Our aim is to innovate and integrate renewable energy sources as a new source of energy. We thoughtfully chose the Solar energy as a source to be worked upon. We have hence made use of photo-voltaic cell, modelled and designed it in Matlab Simulation. We have integrated Auto-tuning of PID Controller and Boost Converters. Also we have used Battery Storage Energy system (BESS) to store excess energy and give it back to the load I needed.
