The Goal Islanding occurs when a portion of distributed power system becomes electrically isolated from the rest of the power system yet continues to be energized by distributed generators. All such occurrences are needed to be detected as early as possible in order to safely shut down the distributed generators. This is because, continued operation of these generators under islanding can lead to multitude of operational hazards/challenges to the generators and to connected loads. The current industry practice is to disconnect all distributed generators immediately after the occurrence of islands. Typically, a distributed generator should be disconnected within 100 to 300 ms after loss of main supply. To achieve such a goal, each distributed generator must be equipped with an islanding detection device, which is also called anti islanding devices. In this study, an active islanding detection technique is proposed for grid connected inverters. Feasibility of the proposed technique. Proposed project run on MATLAB 2016 Simulink environment.

Humans cannot drink saline water. But, saline water can be made into freshwater. But, fresh water can be in short supply in some parts of the country. And, as the population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often, if only in certain locations. The seawater distillation is the process of separation of salts from seawater .In that water is converted into a steam by using solar energy concentration. By using steam which is produced under high temperature impacts on the blades of steam turbines which results generation of electricity. The distillation of seawater is obtained by utilizing a thermal energy source. Water is heated and producing water vapors that in turn condenses to form distilled water. Our aim is to accomplish this goal by utilizing and converting the incoming radioactive power of the sun's rays to heat and distill dirty and undrinkable water, converting it into steam and after that steam is converted into clean drinkable water.

The objective of this briefing paper is to provide a concise summary of some of the key issues surrounding the biodegradability of plastics in the oceans, and whether the adoption of biodegradable plastics will reduce the impact of marine plastics overall. One of the principal properties sought of many plastics is durability. This allows plastics to be used for many applications which formerly relied on stone, metal, concrete or timber. There are significant advantages, for food preservation, medical produce, electrical safety, improved thermal insulation and to lower fuel consumption in air craft and automotive. Unfortunately, the poor management of post-use plastic means that the durability of plastic becomes a significant problem in mitigating its impact on the environment. Plastics are ubiquitous in the oceans as a result of several decades of poor waste management, influenced by a failure to appreciate the potential value of ‘unwanted’ plastics, the under use of market-based instruments (MBIs), and a lack of concern for the consequences (GESAMP 2015). Present paper discusses current scenario in the use and research going in the field of bio degradable plastic.

This project opens a new hope to the physically challenged people. Freedom of mobility is the dream for every patient especially in the case of people suffering from cases such as quadriplegics and multiple sclerosis. Although many types of mobility equipment’s are available for these types of patient there is no independent means of mobility device for these patients since they cannot drive a joystick or manual wheelchair. To aid these types of patients we are developing voice operated wheelchair. The movement of the wheelchair is controlled by the voice of the user. This wheelchair can be driven to the preferred direction with minimum effort. The user requires only less training to use this wheelchair. Technically this wheelchair is integrated with a voice recognition app to identify the voice, a microcontroller which can be programmed, other supporting hardware components to form the embedded system and worm gear motors to cause movements of the wheelchair. The proposed microcontroller-based voice operated wheelchair would bring more convenience for the disabled people. Two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction with the help of motor driver. Here we can control the motors to move Right, Left, Forward, Back and Stop. The goal of this system will allow certain people to live a life with less dependence on others for their movement as a daily need.

Voice cloning is the assignment of figuring out how to orchestrate the voice of a concealed speaker from a couple of tests. While current voice cloning techniques accomplish promising outcomes in Text-to-Speech (TTS) union for another voice, these methodologies come up short on the capacity to control the expressiveness of orchestrated sound. In this work, we propose a controllable voice cloning strategy that permits fine-grained authority over different style parts of the incorporated discourse for a concealed speaker. We accomplish this by expressly molding the discourse blend model on a speaker encoding, pitch form and inactive style tokens during preparing. Through both quantitative and subjective assessments, we show that our system can be utilized for different expressive voice cloning errands utilizing a couple of deciphered or untranscribed discourse tests for another speaker. These cloning errands incorporate style move from a reference discourse, combining discourse straightforwardly from text, and fine-grained style control by controlling the style molding factors during induction.

Over the last few years a new area of engineering science has been established whose products are likely to create a large market in the near future. It has been called "biometrics". The pioneers of this new domain intend to construct devices which would allow identification of a person on the basis of his/her "biological" characteristics: voice, dynamics of movements, features of face and other parts of the body, retina or iris pattern. Nature has made human beings with different characteristics which may vary from one person to another. This property is made use of by Biometric technology to distinctly identify each person Biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system which recognizes a user by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. Several important issues must be considered in designing a practical biometric system. First, a user must be enrolled in the system so that his biometric template can be captured. This template is securely stored in a central database or a smart card issued to the user. The template is retrieved when an individual needs to be identified. Depending on the context, a biometric system can operate either in a verification (authentication) or an identification mode. Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification offers several advantages over traditional methods involving ID cards (tokens) or PIN numbers (passwords) for various reasons: (i) the person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point-of-identification; (ii) identification based on biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password or carry a token. With the increased integration of computers and Internet into our everyday lives, it is necessary to protect sensitive and personal data. By replacing PINs (or using biometrics in addition to PINs), biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, cellular phones, laptops, and computer networks. Unlike biometric traits, PINs or passwords may be forgotten, and tokens like passports and driver's licenses may be forged, stolen, or lost.

Face recognition from image or video is a popular topic in biometrics research. The human face is one of the natural traits that can uniquely identify an individual. Therefore, it is used to trace identity as the possibilities for a face to deviate or being duplicated is low. In this paper we propose an automated attendance management system. The main purpose of this project is to build a face recognition-based attendance monitoring system for educational institution to enhance and upgrade the current attendance system into more efficient and effective as compared to before. The current old system has a lot of ambiguity that caused inaccurate and inefficient of attendance taking. Many problems arise when the authority is unable to enforce the regulation that exist in the old system. In this project, face databases will be created to pump data into the recognizer algorithm. Then, during the attendance taking session, faces will be compared against the database to seek for identity. When an individual is identified, its attendance will be taken down automatically saving necessary information into a excel sheet. At the end of the day, the excel sheet containing attendance information regarding all individuals are mailed to the respective faculty.

An evacuated flat plate solar thermal collector contains a flat absorber plate containing an evacuated enclosure with a top glass cover. An array of pins supports the glass cover against atmospheric pressure loading. Such collectors can achieve high operational temperatures suitable for many industrial applications and also operate efficiently in low irradiance conditions. Flat thermal solar collectors traditionally use a serpentine tube glued or fixed to a conductive absorption plate with an electrically spectral black coating. Efficiency losses due to temperature changes in the plate can be minimized by using a high conductivity material, such as copper, and making it thick enough to achieve high fin efficiency. The main objective of the present work to enhance heat transfer rate by changing the design of the absorber flat plate and compare the various results obtained from computational fluid dynamics analysis on all designs. In the present work, computational fluid dynamics analysis has been performed for six designs of absorber plate of evacuated flat plate collector to check the temperature distribution and heat generation for better thermal performance, flow variables such as velocity, enthalpy, entropy, etc.

As earthquakes are hazardous because of strong ground shaking, destroys things that people have constructed and also the epicentre where the greatest damage takes place is not known and due the scarcity of plain ground in hilly regions leads to construct buildings on a sloping ground. Compare to normal buildings, seismic behavior of buildings on a sloping ground are different. Building on a sloping ground has a higher base shear and higher displacement than building resting on a plain ground so for all the possible critical angle forces the response of the building should be determined. Thus we have under taken our final year project on the basis of Critical Study of Seismic Excitation Angle on A RC Frame Building. In our project a G+5 storey building, study has been made about the effect of slope angle variation on a RC frame building which is resting on a flat ground& sloping ground. The values of different degrees have been used for slope angle variation for obtaining critical response of the building which is situated in Zone V. The parametric study is performed to find out axial forces, bending moment, storey drift and displacement in columns and the maximum axial forces, bending moment, storey drift and displacement occurred is called as the critical angle. The seismic analysis is performed as per Equivalent Static Force Method.
