Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …

An Overview on Rain Water Harvesting
Abstract: Abstract: Rainwater harvesting, the limited collection and storage of overflow for flooded agriculture, is recognized as a sustainable strategy for ensuring food security, especially in monsoonal landscapes in the developing world. In south India, these stratagems have been used for millennia to mitigate problems of water scarcity. However, in the past 100 years many traditional rainwater harvesting systems have tumbled into shabbiness due to increasing requirement on groundwater. With raised …

Design and Implementation of Trans-Z-Source Inverter
Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper presents the impedance-source (Z-source) inverters concept to the transformer-based Z-source (trans-Z- source) inverters. The original Z-source inverter (ZSI) contains an impedance network of two inductors and two capacitors connected in a unique arrangement to interface the dc source and the inverter. It has buck and boost function that cannot be achieved by traditional voltage-source inverters and current- source inverters. In the proposed trans-Z-source inverter, the impedance network …

Fault Location in Two Phase Traction System
Abstract: Owing to the installation of autotransformers at regular intervals along the line, distance protection relays cannot be used with the aim of locating ground faults in 2×25 kV railway power supply systems. The reason is that the ratio between impedance and distance to the fault point is not linear in these electrification systems, unlike in 1×25 kV power systems. Therefore, the location of ground faults represents a complicated task in …
