Load forecasting is the technique for prediction of electrical load. In a deregulated market it is much need for a generating company to know about the market load demand for generating near to accurate power. If the generation is not sufficient to fulfill the demand, there would be problem of irregular supply and in case of excess generation the generating company will have to bear the loss. Neural network techniques have been recently suggested for short-term load forecasting by a large number of researchers. This work studies the applicability of this kind of models. The work is intended to be a basis for a real forecasting application.First, a literature survey was conducted on the subject. Most of the reported models are based on the so-called Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) network. There are numerous model suggestions, but the large variation and lack of comparisons make it difficult to directly apply proposed methods. It was concluded that a comparative study of different model types seems necessary. Several models were developed and tested on the real load data of a Finnish electric utility. Most of them use a MLP network to identify the assumed relation. We carried out shortterm load forecasting for P.D.V.V.P.COE, Ahmednagar college campus using ANN (Artificial Neural Network) technique ANN was implemented on MATLAB-10. MLP (Multi-layer Perceptions was made with input as days and hourly load. Hourly load means the hourly power consumption in college. Error was calculated as MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) and with error of about 0.956 % this paper was successfully carried out. This paper can be implemented by any intensive power consuming company / college for predicting the future load and would proved to be very useful tool while sanctioning the load K EYWORD

Microstrip patch antenna becomes very popular day by day because of its ease of analysis and fabrication, low cost, light weight, easy to feed and their attractive radiation characteristics. Although patch antenna has numerous advantages, it has also some drawbacks such as restricted bandwidth, low gain and a potential decrease in radiation pattern. The aim of the thesis is to design and fabricate a line feed rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length (L) , Width (W) and substrate parameters relative Dielectric constant, substrate thickness (t) on the Radiation parameters of Bandwidth and Beam-width.

Mobile devices have revolutionised the world. They are now being used for M-Commerce applications. Their affordability, high availability, and usage convenience has made SMS based M-Commerce to take over e-commerce. Nowadays it is used as an alternative for online transaction systems. The SMS facility available in mobile phones is used for communication between client and server modules. The regular encryption and decryption algorithms cannot be used as mobile devices have limited memory and processing power. Keeping these limitations in mind a new framework is proposed. It involves suitable encryption and decryption algorithms and a frame structure. The proposed framework is implemented for a banking application. The user sends the SMS after encryption to the bank server through his mobile phone. The bank server is programmed to poll the modem for messages. On the arrival of a request, the bank server decrypts and authenticates the message before servicing it. The serviced reply is again secured by encryption before the transaction, details are sent back to the client as another SMS using the modem. The client decrypts the received messages and displays appropriate results to the user.

Due to the rapid development in the field of wireless communications there is an increasing demand for higher data rate and large bandwidth. The emerging Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a promising technology as it can accommodate higher data over a large bandwidth. The design of an antenna for UWB system is a challenging task. Many antennas have been designed for UWB with acceptable performance. A suitable UWB antenna should operate over entire UWB allocated by FCC (3.1-10.6 GHz), it should have linear phase, low dispersion and VSWR 2 throughout the entire band. Feeding the antenna also affect the response of antenna. There are different feeding techniques that have been discussed in this paper. According to the feeding techniques the patch antenna for UWB have been categorized and their results have been concluded which represents comparative analysis of their return loss and other basic parameters. This paper focuses on different UWB antennas, their geometries and design parameters. Studies have been undertaken that covers UWB antenna design fundamentals and techniques and comparison of feeding techniques have been undertaken.

The resistivity of biological tissue happens to be the basis of the field distribution inside the tissue. Hence the current injected in different patterns has a unique current distribution profile. The images of this field distribution are reconstructed using tools like FEMM and EIDORS. The work described here is the EIT based imaging of a closed phantom for detection of abnormality present. This system consists of 16 silver electrodes placed equidistant and detects non-conducting and conducting objects like clay and copper spindle in normal saline solution. The current is injected in two adjacent electrodes and the voltages are measured in neighbouring pattern at every consecutive pair of electrodes. The output data sets are used to reconstruct the voltage density distribution in closed phantom. The resulting images show that the resistivity profiles of the phantom for various events are successfully reconstructed. In this paper, the voltage density distribution is reconstructed into an image to detect the type, the location and the size of the abnormality present using FEMM tool.

Portland cement is the most important ingredient of concrete and is a versatile and relatively high cost material. Large scale production of cement is causing environmental problems on one hand and depletion of natural resources on other hand. This threat to ecology has led to researchers to use industrial by products as supplementary cementations material in making concrete. The main parameter investigated in this study is M35 grade concrete with partial replacement of cement by silica fume by 0, 5, 10,15and by 20%. This paper presents a detailed experimental study on Compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength at age of 7 and 28 day. Durability study on acid attack was also studied and percentage of weight loss is compared with normal concrete. Test results indicate that use of Silica fume in concrete has improved the performance of concrete in strength as well as in durability aspect.

The voltage distribution of insulator strings, which are very common in the suspension of overhead transmission systems, is greatly uneven. So the calculation of the voltage distribution along them is a very important factor in the design of the insulators. Also, no remarkable endeavour regarding the impact of insulator material and profile upon the electric field and voltage distribution has been made so far. In this paper several 230-kV insulator strings with different porcelain and glass units were simulated and their voltage distributions were compared, to investigate the effect of insulator types on this quantity. Also the effect of corona ring on potential distribution over insulator strings with different insulator types was investigated. Reported results show the dependency of voltage distribution to insulator material and profile.

This paper is about the design and implementation of highly cost effective smart vest for electronic prescribing and administration system to control medical errors, prescribing errors, administration errors and for medical staff assistance. The idea is based on wearable robotics and computing technologies which is an emerging technology now a days. The vest is designed to convert medical process in the field of automation where tasks are highly precise and perfect to prevent the medical errors in hospitals and convert the whole data based into a cloud which can be accessed by medical staff and doctors at any time and will be updated automatically after each medical or diagnosis process. This project is a kind of electronic jacket, which can be used for reducing medication errors. By the help of smart vest we have automated the hospital wards, reduced the burden on the nurses and doctors and ensured the safe and proper medication of the patients. The orthodox method used in hospitals is that patient’s record and history is maintained on paper, nurses and doctors can easily commit errors because of this kind of database. However the developed countries have come up with the idea of medication cart which after further improvements can become robot to reduce medication error which could operate automatically without the help of any human being. However this smart vest after further enhancements can become more efficient and even then it would require nurse etc. which means empowering the staff only, this would not reduce the humans, and man power would be used efficiently.

In this paper a high gain and directive microstrip antenna made from metamatrial superstrate and an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) substrate has been investigated. EBG structures have two main configurations, first EBG substrate and second EBG superstrate. In first case, the patch of antenna is surrounded with EBG structure that suppress the propagation of surface wave and in second case, layer of EBG structure that call EBG superstrate or metamaterial superstrate set above the patch of antenna. The layers of EBG superstrate have near zero refraction index that concentrate radiation energy normal to superstrate. A patch antenna surrounded with novel EBG structure is used for radiation. By choosing appropriate geometrical parameters of the structures we can obtain suitable impedance matching and negative refraction. The results show that the gain of the antenna with one layer of H-Doubled split ring EBG superstrate increase up to 16dB at 14.3 GHz. In addition, pattern of microstrip antenna with EBG superstrate is more narrower than simple microstrip antenna.
