Mechanical Properties of Self Compacting Concrete with Partial Replacement of Rice Husk Ash

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is relatively a recent development in the construction world. SCC is defined basically by two properties: Deformability and segregation resistance. It flows under its own weight while remaining homogeneous in composition. This research is aimed at examining the feasibility of using Rice Husk Ash as supplementary cementations material. In this research, the main variables are the proportion of rice husk ash (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%) and cement content.

All the results were in range as per code specified. Mix 20RHA showed minimum workability.. The increase of about 25% strength at 7 days, 33% strength at 28days and 36% strength at 56 days were observed with increase of RHA content from control mix (0RHA) to 15RHA. Maximum splitting tensile strength was also obtained bythe mix 15RHA. Greatest increase in mechanical properties was observed for the mix containing 15% rice husk ash.

The inclusion of rice husk ash as replacement of cement does not affect the strength properties negatively as the strength remains within limits up to 20%replacement. Inclusion of RHA showed great improvement in durability Properties of concrete.

Virtualization & Scheduling in Real Time OS: A Survey

Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resources. In a virtualized environment, computing environments can be produced in a forceful dynamic manner, enlarged, become smaller or go in a specified direction or manner as demand varies. Virtualization is therefore highly suitable to a dynamic cloud infrastructure, because it provides important advantages in isolation, manageability and sharing.

THD Reduction and Power Quality Improvement in Grid Connected PV System

In this paper an MPPT technique is applied in grid connected PV system to harness maximum available power available from sun. The shortcomings of current inverter functions which link PV systems to the utility network are becoming transparent as PV penetration levels continue to increase. In this paper an analysis of solar system connected with the grid has been done.The system is subjected with two types of perturbations, i.e. variable load and the variable irradiance level which changes the output of the solar system. The design, modeling, and analysis of a grid-tied PV system are performed in the MATLAB software simulation environment.

Solar cell works on the principle of photo voltaic effect, which has nonlinear voltage and current characteristics. These characteristics are improved with the help of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. MPPT controller helps to feed the inverter with maximum power from the solar system. Results indicate that in the presence of grid disturbances the inverter can react dynamically to help restore the power system back to its normal state. A harmonic analysis was also performed indicating the inverter under study met the applicable power quality standards for distributed energy resources.

Missing Item Prediction and Its Recommendation Based on Users Approach in Ecommerce

The Internet is one of the fastest growing areas of intelligence gathering. Due to the tremendous amount of data on internet, web data mining has become very necessary. Predicting the missing items form dataset is indefinite area of research in Web Data Mining. Current approaches use association rule mining techniques which are applied to only small item sets. Numbers of mechanisms were intended for frequent item sets but less attention has been paid that take the advantage of these frequent item sets for prediction purpose. In order to reduce the rule mining cost for large dataset & to provide online prediction efficiently, the proposed approach use novel method for predicting the missing items. The proposed approach extends advantages of prediction at a higher level of abstraction and reduced rule generation complexity by finding out a technique that will work on dissimilar approach.

A Review on Energy Storage Systems for Mitigation Power Fluctuations in Wind Turbine based Power System

Wind energy is in exhaustible renewable. Unlike conventional fossil fuels, wind energy is clean, abundant energy that will be available for future generations. However, wind speed is a highly stochastic component which can deviate very quickly. Output power of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) is proportional to the cube of wind speed, which causes the output power fluctuation of the wind turbine. The power fluctuation causes frequency fluctuation and voltage flicker inside the power grid. In order to reduce the power fluctuation, various approaches have been proposed in the last decades.

This article deals with the review of several power smoothing strategies for the WECS. Power smoothing methods of the WECS are primarily separated in to two categories such as energy storage based power smoothing method and without energy storage based power smoothing method. The main objectives of this paper are to introduce operating principles for different power smoothing methods

Different Strategies for Power Quality Improvement in Off-Grid Renewable Energy Based Power System

The increasing trend in integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into off-grid power system presents major challenges from the viewpoints of reliable operation and control. In this paper, the major problems and challenges in off-grid power system control are discussed, and a review of control strategies and trends is presented. A general overview of the main control is also included. The paper classifies power quality improvement strategies into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary, where primary and secondary levels are associated with the operation of the off-grid power system itself, and tertiary level pertains to the coordinated operation of the power system. Each control level is discussed in detail in view of the relevant existing technical literature.

Different Technologies and Components of Renewable Energy Sources based Power System: A Review

Variability and intermittency are some of the main features that characterize renewable energy sources. Intermittency usually includes both predictable and unpredictable variations. The many drawbacks of intermittency of renewable sources can be overcome by considering some special design considerations. Integrating more than one renewable energy source and including backup sources and storage systems are among the few measures to overcome these drawbacks. These additional design considerations usually increase the overall cost of the renewable system.

Furthermore, the presence of more than one energy supply/storage system requires the control of energy flow among the various sources. Therefore, optimizing the size of the components and adopting an energy management strategy are essential to decreasing the cost of the system and limiting its negative effects. The energy management strategy is commonly integrated with optimization to ensure the continuity of load supply and to decrease the cost of energy production. Therefore, energy management is a term that collects all the systematic procedures to control and minimize the quantity and the cost of energy used to provide a certain application with its requirements.

The energy management strategy usually depends on the type of energy system and its components. Various approaches and techniques have been used to develop a successful energy management strategy. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the different combinations and approaches proposed and used by authors of many papers are conducted. These approaches include both the standalone hybrid renewable energy systems and the grid-connected hybrid renewable systems. The selected papers in this review cover the various configurations of the hybrid renewable energy systems for electric power generation only.
