Use of oxy hydrogen gas in stationary devices: A review

Now a day’s pollution increasing by petroleum fuels day by day in India as well as in the whole world and as we know petroleum fuels are non-renewable so a shift in scientist’s interests, recently observed, toward lower Fuel consumption and emission engines take place. This encourages researchers to seek alternative solutions to be used in engines without the need for a dramatic change in the vehicle design so the scientific society works as an alternative fuel. In many alternatives oxyhydrogen (HHO) gas is one of the best options. HHO gas can be reduced the percentage of HC and CO. This review study deals with the use of oxyhydrogen gas four stroke petrol engines for stationary devices like electricity generator.

Hybrid clustering algorithm using Ad-density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise

With a pace of time clustering algorithms are stunningly utilized in spatial databases for classification. Now a day’s databases are of different class and variable in length, therefore, some basic essential parameters are needed for a cluster algorithm for example efficiency must be a pinnacle for a larger database, finding of clusters with an unpredictable shape for larger database and must have the knowledge of input parameters so that cluster can be formed. Now a day’s data clustering is so much vital data mining innovation which plays supreme par in diverse scientific exercise. But real problem is that with the time size of data set increasing exponentially and to process huge data set one of the tedious tasks. Clustering technology in data mining is well defined whose main focus is to provide orthodox, manifest shape with help of different data set which is collected for the desired goal. An adroit clustering technique must be systematic and able to recognize clusters of erratic shapes. In our research work, there is a comparative analysis executed between DBSCAN and Ad-DBSCAN where six data sets considered of different quantity of 3-D nature. In base paper 1-D data set considered and after analysis between the base and proposed technique, in proposed technique accuracy is up to 99.99% and process for forming a cluster is very less as compared to base technique. There are different DBSCAN algorithms which can be implemented to execute diverse function so that the formation of the cluster would be dynamic. In this research, article summarization shows that formation of cluster executed fastly and with accuracy almost 100%.

Stability enhancement of a grid connected wind farm by using fuzzy logic and D-STATCOM

In recent time analysis of some major blackouts and failures of power system shows that the voltage instability problem has been one of the main reasons for these disturbances and networks collapse. In recent years, a remarkable and numerous improvements have been achieved because of electric energy generation by utilization of wind energy. However, these achievements are accompanied by several problems such as grid stability and security. The transient stability issues of the grid-connected wind farms have increased especially in case of severe disturbances and contingencies. Static analysis is used to analyze the voltage stability of the system under study, whilst the dynamic analysis is used to evaluate the performance of compensators. The static techniques used are Power Flow, V–P curve analysis, and Q–V modal analysis. In this study, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission system (FACTS) devices- namely, Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) and Static Var Compensators (SVCs) - are used as reactive power compensators, taking into account maintaining the violated voltage magnitudes of the weak buses within the acceptable limits defined in ANSI C84.1.

A novel method for MPPT in PV systems under partial shading conditions using fuzzy logic and PID controller

Solar or photovoltaic (PV) system is an alternative clean energy resource that has received much attention in the research and industries. The solar charge controller is the main part of a solar system. There are three types of CC are MPPT, PWM and ON/Off. MPPT is getting very much popularity nowadays for its high capability of power extracted from a solar panel. The MPPTs controllers are used to ensure a high PV system performance. This research paper explains the development of a new algorithm for MPPT in large PV systems under partial shading conditions (PSC). The new technique is a combination of Fuzzy logic and PID. The methodology can be simulated in for different PV configurations under varying conditions. The integration of Fuzzy with PID controller is shown to yield faster convergence to the global maximum power point (GMPP) as compared to reference work. In our research work, DC voltage approximately 530V whereas in base work 40V. A novel maximum power point tracking scheme for PV power generation system under partially shaded condition gives a superior result as compared to reference work.

Detecting tree cover loss in Damaturu town using multi-temporal landsat imagery

Damaturu, the administrative headquarters of Yobe State, Nigeria has been experiencing a rapid developmental change in its physical landscape due to the monumental impact of urbanization in the last two to three decades, and this development has been occurring progressively at the detriment of the urban trees. No attempt has been made singularly to investigate the extent of this negative development as it keeps on progressing at an alarming rate. Thus, this study aimed at detecting and mapping the changes occurred in the last three decades, so as to the find out the extent of the change. For this purpose, the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) of 1986, and Landsat Eight/8 (OLI) scene of 2016 was acquired and used. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and change detection technique of image differencing was employed to detect the changes. The threshold parameter of 45% and 48% were used respectively for the increased (gain) and decreased (loss) option to obtain the image differencing (Highlight change map) result in ERDAS Imagine software version 15. Findings revealed that there are a significant tree cover canopies gain and loss amounting to an area cover of 2,193.75 and 1150.38 Hectares of land respectively. People’s quest of land for shelter, administrative status of the town, as well as lack of strong environmental bye-laws were identified as the main drivers of the observed changes. Overall, the study provides the valuable information required for sustainable urban development. This study also demonstrates the usefulness of medium resolution Landsat imageries and change detection techniques in observing environmental changes at a local level.

The effects of devolved public project management on quality of public building projects in Kenya: A case of Busia County in Western Kenya region

The construction sector is a key player for sustainable development. Both levels of government in Kenya (National and County) have identified the construction sector as a driver of the development agenda. The devolved units (counties and constituencies) have invested quite a substantial amount of public funds in infrastructure development and yet social audit and media reports have raised the concern over the poor quality of the projects undertaken by these devolved units. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the project management process to determine its effects on the quality of public building projects. A case involving sixty-four projects sampled from Busia County and its seven constituencies was carried out. The study was a sample survey whose data was collected using questionnaires, interviews and physical observation exercise. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square good-for-fit tests. The findings indicated the very low participation of the public works officers as project managers in the construction process of the public building projects undertaken by devolved units. The participation rate was at 15% which implied that the projects were constructed without a professional project management process. The physical observation assessment revealed the quality of the public building projects stood at 34% compliance to building specifications and standards which is inadequate to meet the required standards. It is concluded that the involvement of public works officers as project managers in the construction management process of public building projects undertaken by the devolved units was inadequate and impacts negatively on the quality of the projects. In order to achieve the sustainable development as far as the infrastructural development is concerned, the involvement of professional project managers in the construction process was critical. This, therefore, called for the development of the legal and quality frameworks to guide the construction sector at the devolved units.
