Achievements made with Break-through and innovations in UGC-SAP-DRS-I

Thrust Area: Remote Communication System (Period: 2009-2014)

A-1: Brief History of the Department To initiate an integrated approach in the teaching of science in the University of Calcutta, in the year 1913, Sir Rash Behari Ghosh, one of the eminent jurist at that time, placed in the hand of the University a donation of rupees ten lakh “for the promotion of scientific and technical education, for the cultivation and advancement of science, pure and applied … “ This donation was followed by another princely gift of rupees eleven lakh and forty thousand which paved the way for the establishment of a new post graduate M.Sc course in Applied Physics in the year 1925, under the faculty of Science in the University of Calcutta. Though the emphasis of teaching in those days was distinctly in electrical technology, a strong research base was also established in the area of molecular spectroscopy. In 1930 the department established a 21 feet Paschen-Rowland concave grating having 30,000 lines per inch, the largest of its kind in Asia in those days. A-2: Previous Contributions of the Department It may be mentioned that after the independence, Department of Applied Physics contributed much towards the formation of indigenous and import substitutes of various technologies on Electrical and Instrumentation systems and devices. In fact the undergraduate college laboratories were supplied with test and measuring equipment designed and manufactured by the department.

A-3: Present Research and Achievements during UGC-SAP-DRS-I Period The Department has been granted SAP DRS I programme for the period 2009-2014 out of which four years have been completed. The thrust area is “Remote Communication System”. Under this thrust area, three application areas were chosen as shown below.

Research Highlights In the Three Application Areas: (A) The application areas as mentioned earlier in SAP DRS I programme are as follows: i) Development of Smart Wireless Energy Meter with Accessing Facility from Remote Centralized Control Room. ii) PC based Wireless Condition Monitoring and Control of Electric Machines

Page 28: UGC SAP DRS I

32

iii) Remote Monitoring and Control of Power System Parameters Using Geographical Information System and Wireless Technology (B) Achievements made with break-through and innovations AREA-I: Research activities carried out in the thrust area “Development of Smart Wireless Energy Meter with Accessing Facility from Remote Centralized Control Room” Objective: Recently, digital energy meters are being installed in the household / industrial premises replacing the old electromagnetic types because of several advantages it offers. The performance of the digital energy meters mostly depend on the power of embedded chips, which has been enhanced a lot with the aid of latest technological advancement. On the other hand the access to these meters is mostly dependent on the physical presence of meter readers. With a number of customers distributed over large areas, this fact poses a great problem. To way out of this situation, the remote access feature can be incorporated within the meter itself by adopting network communication technique - the latest one of which is the wireless communication technology. To upgrade those energy meters with the extraction of advantages of embedded and wireless communication technologies, this project has been proposed. Implementation Procedure: To implement the objective, the job has been divided into two steps i.e. to carry out research (i) for developing technologies for measurement of power, energy and related parameters and (ii) for establishing communication links to transfer the measured information from measuring point to central control room using a SMART meter developed by us. Step I: Measurement Technologies Since the commencement of this project, a number of techniques have been developed by the faculty members of this Department for measurement of power, energy and other related parameters under sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal environments which are substantiated by publications in referred journals. These techniques are measurement of reactive power using S-ADALINE networks, design and implementation of a high accuracy sampling wattmeter under non-sinusoidal and off-nominal frequency conditions, second degree digital differentiator based power system frequency estimation

Page 29: UGC SAP DRS I

33

under non-sinusoidal conditions, self-synchronized ADALINE network for on-line tracking of power system harmonics, Band-pass Second Degree Digital–Integrator Based Power System Frequency Estimation under non-sinusoidal conditions, Active Power Measurement for Industrial Frequency Applications. Another new measurement methodology has been proposed for measurement of power and energy by sample shifting technique in sinusoidal environment. For active power measurement, the samples of the circuit voltage and current over a full cycle are recorded simultaneously and real power is calculated. This measurement does not need any measurement of power factor, which is in fact an essential parameter to be measured by the conventional method. Similarly, while calculating reactive power, measurement of “ISinφ” is needed. Since I Sinφ is simply the translation of original current signal waveform Icosφ by 90° along time-axis, newly proposed sample shifting technique has been utilized here. The present technique determines ISinφ from the original data of the current waveform data and hence calculates reactive power directly. This method of measurement has also been extended to measure the power in polluted environment. If the voltage and current waveform is composed of integral number of harmonics, the active power expression will be the sum of active powers of all harmonics but the reactive power expression will be a mixture of active and reactive power of the harmonics. This fact prevents any full-proof standardization of the measurement of reactive power in presence of harmonics. In this situation, the idea of sample shifting technique has been extended to determine each of the individual harmonic real and reactive power. Theoretical developments for the proposed technique have been made and simulation in MATLAB has been carried out which shows satisfactory results as compared to the calculated values. Experimental verification is now under process. The test results have been communicated in IEEE conference is accepted and presented in 22nd February, 2013 and also awarded Best Paper in that conference. Step II: Communication Technologies For establishing communication links for transfer of these measured information from measuring point to the central control room, necessary hardware viz. circuit design and necessary PCB have been worked out. Some

photographs of the laboratory experimentations are given in Figures which are self-explanatory. Figures below show the test set-up of those Zigbee modules in a networked environment. When one of them is connected with the central PC and the other two are connected with two energy meters where the meter data are communicated to the central PC as and when required basis. VSG is utilized to generate various signals similar to meter data signals to simulate the performance of the Zigbee modules under different working environments. The supporting centralized PC- based software are under development and a preliminary testing has been carried out with the help of networking of energy meters installed in the three power incomers of the Department. The networking facility among them has at present been achieved with wired communication using MODBUS protocol. The next step of the development of this technique is to extend the facility among four different buildings of the University located at four different places. In this step, six antennas have been fixed on small antenna MAST on the roof tops of four different buildings e.g. Centenary building in College street campus, P. G. Hall building at Vidyasagar street, Palit Building and Applied Physics building in Rashbehari Siksha Prangan. Applied Physics is considered as the central control room. The antennas of remaining three buildings are in the Line-of-Sight with the antenna of the Applied Physics. A digital energy meter has been installed near the busbar of a feeder in the PDB in the College street campus. Measured data from this meter are fed to its antenna through wired connection and are being transmitted. These data are received at Applied Physics through wireless (WLAN) communication and are fed through wired (LAN) connection to a computer (Central PC) kept in the SAP laboratory in the 1st floor of the Department. The job of installation of meters and their interconnection with the central PC at Applied Physics is now completed and tested ok in Palit building and PG Hall. The accessories for installing wireless networking are already made ready for their installation at three different buildings in three different campus of the University. The installation work at all four locations is completed now. On the other hand, Energy Management Software (EMS) development is also finalized and its bugs are now in the debugging processes. The functioning of different features of the software is tested individually. Now co-relation among them are being made and this is done by installing the software in a server machine. It has mainly two parts – One front and GUI for utility use and another backend application responsible for reading data from different EM at

Page 31: UGC SAP DRS I

a specified time schedule and stores it into the server data base. The front end GUI is responsible for different energy management aspects including report generation features and probable tapping or non-functioning of the meter indications, a glimpse of which is shown in the figure.

AREA II: Research activities carried out in the thrust area “PC based Wireless Condition Monitoring and Control of Electric Machines” Objective: Smooth and accurate controls of electric machines are the key features in enhancement of efficiency of modern industry. The continuous evolution of control systems with the adoption of the latest technologies makes the control systems user friendly with higher degree of reliability. In this case also, individual control and monitoring of several machines spread over a large area may be complemented/ supplemented by centralized control module to extract the optimal output of the system. The advantages of wireless communication systems can then be incorporated to this centralized control station from where several machines can be controlled/ monitored without the need for laying out the control cables. Implementation Procedure: To implement the objective, the job has been divided into two steps, i.e., to carry out research (i) for developing technologies for measurement of different motor parameters required for condition monitoring and control of a motor and (ii) for establishing communication links to transfer the measured information from measuring point to central control room.

Step I: Measurement Technologies Fault detection and classification are a predominant area of research in this Department. A number of technologies have been developed by our faculty members supported by publications. Rotor misalignment, rotor mass unbalance and broken rotor bar faults in induction motors have been considered. Fast Fourier transform technique has been found to give good results but only for stationary signals. Application of Continuous Wavelet Transform is seen to give good results for larger degree of fault like broken rotor bar fault and, Wavelet Packet Decomposition technique is found to give good results for smaller degree fault like rotor misalignment and rotor mass unbalance. For condition monitoring and fault classification, Support Vector Machine technique applied on currents signals is found to give good results. Fractal technique gives very prominent classification between healthy and faulty motors in a cluster of motors. Fuzzy and Fuzzy ANFIS techniques are also seen to give good results in condition monitoring and fault classification in a group of induction motors. Several control algorithms have been developed which may be utilized in controlling the motor parameters. An arrangement of monitoring of three different machines e.g. one single phase induction motor, one dc motor and a transformer networked with RS-485 protocol along with a PC the scheme being shown in figure and, experimental set up shown in Fig. 14 has been set up in the Laboratory which has been tested successfully. This may be extended to other machines of the Department. Monitoring scheme with Zigbee based wireless networking, GSM based SMS service and GPRS service is under development. In addition to the measurements of induction motors, some parameters of a synchronous machine have also been measured. The sample shifting technique that has been explained earlier has also been used in such measurements. Theoretical developments have been made to measure Xd and Xq of a synchronous machine. The computer simulation is found to give satisfactory results. Experimentation is now completed in the form of an M.Tech project for the purpose of its remote monitoring and control. A state-of-the-art data compression technique is adopted in order to achieve the security in communication utilizing a hybrid Huffman coding and third order

Page 36: UGC SAP DRS I

Differential Pulse Coded Modulation. This also enhances the network channel efficiency so that more number of machines can be monitored using the same network channel. A joint collaboration with Bombay IIT is supposed to be made for a project to control an undersea water alternator from a remote control room on the bay.

Scheme of the multi-machine monitoring system

Step II: Communication Technologies In the process of condition monitoring of electrical machines, to transmit the acquired motor data, fabricated microcontroller based state of the art Dedicated Hardware Unit (DHU) has been developed and tested in integration with a PC. The PC software (VB based) is also under development, which at the moment takes care of the data coming from the DHU and, stores them in a file for future analysis purposes using above methodologies. Each DHU is capable of measuring the basic parameters of induction motor viz. the applied voltage, the current drawn by its stator, the vibration and speed. The DHU is intelligent enough to do a preliminary level of analysis on the basis of those acquired data and can take a decision about its activities under any abnormalities in the dataset. In a cluster of motors, each motor is provided with a DHU and all the DHU are also connected in a network with a centralized PC through RS-485 protocol for periodic monitoring. PC starts a continuous acquisition of the sample values of voltage, current, vibration and speed once an intimation of a fault by any DHU is received. The system is upgraded in such a way that the same abnormal conditions are also sent as SMS to any predefined mobile

Page 37: UGC SAP DRS I

41

as alarming indication or to a central PC. On receiving the SMS, the central PC decodes it and depending upon its severity the central PC asks the DHU for the details data and then a detailed analysis is performed in the PC software to diagnose the details of the abnormalities. This technique has been implemented for a three machine system. The techniques for the analysis of the data for different types of abnormalities are being studied and simulated using MATLAB. This needs a huge data set for both healthy motor as well as different types of faulty motors and their data collection. The communication of the said data set is an issue and will be taken care off by adopting some compression and/or modulation techniques. In order to make this monitoring system tether less, a cordless telephone set is studied and made customized to use it for data communication. As a trial run it is now being used for transmission of ECG data set for the purpose of making a remote wireless ECG diagnosis system in order to provide a quicker health care service to the patients of remote villages lacking of nearby hospitals or even health care centers. The developed system runs satisfactorily and few publications have already been made and some are under considerations. We have also utilized this system as an alternative of RS-485 based network and the interfacing of this system with the DHU has been under development. Once it is finalized, this system can also be used for monitoring of electrical machines within a premise from a centralized PC. To monitor more number of machines wirelessly, due to the bandwidth problem of the above system, we have planned to establish the network with higher bandwidth with the adoption of license free ISM band at 2.4/ 5 GHz with the adoption of Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4) system. The study on Zigbee module is going on, it’s working as an interfacing device with microcontroller for a stand alone mode of operation has been done and its testing for Zigbee networking operation is now in progress. At present, we are able to establish a communication link by transmitting and receiving some known data among them. The zigbee modules functioning have been tested. The interfacing of it with the DHU is going on and the PC based software is also being modified accordingly. The functioning of the system using RS485 is tested.

Publication in area II AREA III: Research activities carried out in the thrust area “Remote Monitoring and Control of Power System Parameters Using Geographical Information System and Wireless Technology”. Objective: The inherent limitations faced by traditional decentralized system of record keeping and managing different electrical parameters of a distributed power system can be replaced by a centralized automated system. The development of a centralized automated system can be made for monitoring, analyzing and managing electrical parameters of different nodes of a power system under normal or various contingent conditions from a remote location, so as to enhance the overall system efficiency using Geographical Information System (GIS) technology. The inherent mapping feature of GIS software can be used to locate any station or sub-station or transmission line and to retrieve data of a desired place from a remote center which can be used to control the power flow under normal and abnormal conditions. Implementation Procedure: To implement the objective, the job has been divided into three steps i.e. to carry out research (i) for developing technologies for measurement of different motor parameters required for condition monitoring of Power System substation or equipment and (ii) for establishing communication links to transfer the measured information from

Page 41: UGC SAP DRS I

45

measuring point to central control room. (iii) to correlate the data with its spatial location in a map view and to perform the on-line load flow analysis for better system management. Step I: Measurement Technologies Faculty members have the prerequisite knowledge of monitoring and control of parameters of multi bus power system under different power system operating conditions. Continuous researches are carried out in this regard by the faculty members of the Department which are substantiated by a number of publications. Along with measurement and monitoring of power system parameters, the sample shifting technique (explained under Area-I) has been utilized in measurement of sequence components of voltage and current of an unbalanced system to characterization of faults that has occurred in the system. M. Tech. theses have been carried out on this theme and simulated in our RTDS to give excellent concurrent with theoretical predictions. The performance of the acquisitions and analysis of power system parameters, implemented from centralized station, are augmented by incorporating GIS. ARC GIS software is used extensively for development of geographical information system. As Electrical and Instrumentation Engineers, it is rather a different field for us, hence extensive training in this regard is required. For that our faculty members have undergone training and workshops on this software. In addition, we have also arranged in-house training in our Department. The software development part is again subdivided into two categories – one Management Information System (MIS) with web enabled features. This application part will cover entire gamut of Electrical Machine/Power System Substation Parameters Monitoring system. The MIS interfaces will have functionalities for defining hierarchical relationships, as shown below in the Tree Structure of MIS, between Generating Stations, Distribution Substations as well Transmission substations, interfaces for feeding electro mechanical parameters for individual power station units, integration with third party signal conditioning analytical circuit etc. In its other categories GIS enabled web based application is now under development. The GIS browser interfaces is having features/functionalities/tools for mapping of Generating Stations, Distribution Substations as well Transmission substations, search, on map tabular

Page 42: UGC SAP DRS I

46

(attribute) data access, query, buffer, measuring distance between various power system substations etc based on their geo-reference data set in a real world Map system. Some preliminary development regarding MIS system has been initiated and testing of its web based working is going on.

GIS based software Step II: Communication Technologies As an approach towards the development of substation monitoring system with GIS, a survey work regarding the energy consumption by different equipment already installed in our Department has been made. Besides this, another survey for the exact electrical layout for our campus as well as zonal /departmental power consumption at different interval of time has also been performed. These are carried out by our final semester B.Tech. students as part of their B.Tech. projects. This data set is now being utilized in order to have their graphical display in a centralized PC which includes the geographical information with the aid of Arc GIS software, i.e. the geographical map along with its attributes as well as its georeference (latitude and longitude) information. Additional attributes stored in a separate file (AAF) can now also be displayed. We have tested the system

Page 43: UGC SAP DRS I

47

with an arbitrary map downloaded from a website without its actual georeference. However, to display the data with actual georeference map, we are planning to procure the georeference map from the authorized map supplier like GSI Centralized PC must be linked with those online monitoring equipment either by wired or wireless system. Monitored data are to be stored into its database, from where GIS software will display the same. Keeping this view in mind, we have planned to install three energy meters with remote interfacing facility for monitoring purposes at three different locations in our Department. All these meters are then networked using RS-485 protocol and also by Zigbee system. On the other hand, regarding continuous update of data from AAF in the Arc GIS software, we are facing some problem. It is learnt during the training of Arc GIS that there is a server version of Arc GIS which is needed for continuous update of attributes. For that our single user Arc GIS software is to be upgraded to server version to proceed further. In its MIS part, a GUI relating to geographical map view of the substations is made. In this GUI, different substations (GSS, TSS or DSS) along with different electrical power system equipment like C.B., isolator, transformers and transmission lines etc. of any defined zone can be viewed in the form of a symbolic point on the map. On clicking on a symbolic point, its details can be viewed in another popping window. A single line diagram (SLD) corresponding to that substations or equipment can also be observed. The electrical parameters status on different branches of the SLD will be updated on online basis. The connection of this substation or equipment following the above mentioned MIS tree structure with its incomers or outgoing feeders is also established. The on-line running indication in the form of a Mimic diagram view (like a control panel view) is also kept for the operators’ easy understanding. The overall zonal loading conditions can also be monitored within the GUI itself. The basic design part of this MIS is already developed keeping the provisions for entry of different substation / equipments attribute data, geographical latitude and longitude relationship of substation equipment maintaining the above MIS tree structure. Its testing is under process. On the other hand, the work on a backend MIB is also going on where the electrical parameters of the incomers of our departmental building and our campus substation are to be recorded with the help our developed meters

Page 44: UGC SAP DRS I

48

and zigbee based networking of these meters. A part of the backend software is also developed so far which basically takes care of the parameters reading and stores them in a data file which ultimately be stored in the database of the GIS based software within the server. For the time being it is tested by storing the data files in an excel file format which is uploaded in the server by a software up-loader. This data is utilized for display in the MIS GUI for their realization from a georeference map view. A matlab analysis tool is developed in order to estimate the load flow and different bus parameters for suggesting a possible restructuring of the power system under emergency situations. A team of 4 M.tech students and a Ph.D. scholar is working under this development.

This will be a miniature model of the proposed system which will be finally interconnected to GIS map of the location.
