Indian Railways (IR) earns about 70% of its revenue from freight traffic. The goods loading is highly erratic in nature which creates the problem of inaccurate forecasting of the electric power required. Thus, IR requires precise forecasting models to deal with this problem. In this paper, Gross Ton KiloMeter (GTKM) earned by freight traffic is forecasted using traditional statistical models, i.e...
Now a days, wind and solar energy are most commonly used as renewable energy sources (RES). These sources highly depend on environment and geographical conditions of a particular location. Main drawback of RES is randomness in power production due to their inherent uncertainty nature. Hence, energy management is difficult task for these sources. Wind, photovoltaic (PV) and sodium nickel chloride (SNC)...
To improve utilization of resources, efficient resource sharing technique is the key requirement. Recently, Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) has been explored as a resource sharing technique for the modern Internet architecture. The VNE techniques suggested in literature, fault tolerance of connections and nodes of network has not been taken into account. Therefore, these techniques improve resource...
In this work, image processing and pattern recognition techniques are applied to extract human faces and facial features from color and gray images for facial expression recognition. Firstly, the image is segmented into skin and non-skin regions by using a color space model. Mathematical Morphology based techniques are applied for noise removal and hole filling. Then, ellipse region properties are...
The acoustic noise and vibration are major problems for Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) to be used in electric vehicles, many industrial and household applications. Torque ripple is major cause of Acoustic noise and vibration in SRM. Discrete nature of current pulses applied to the motor causes ripple in the electromagnetic torque generated by a SRM. This Torque ripple can be reduced by design variation...
Wind has been utilized as a source of power for many years. The generation of electrical energy from wind has experienced a remarkable pace in the past decade because of depleting conventional resources and increasing environmental issues. Wind energy conversion has become a reliable and competitive means for electric power generation, thanks to extensive Research and Development efforts in last 30...
