Active Fault Tolerant Control Scheme For Dissimil
(COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2018) Ghazala Mushtaq, FA16-REE-016 Contributor(s): Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 7474
The increasing demand of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) schemes in research is due to reliability and safety needed in industrial systems, especially in life critical systems such as spacecraft, passenger aircrafts, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), nuclear and chemical plants. FTC is expected to deal with fault or failure while maintaining the stability and desired performance. It is classified as Passive Fault Tolerant Control (PFTC) and Active Fault Tolerant Control (AFTC). Dissimilar Redundant Actuating Systems (DRAS) are mostly used in modern aircrafts to improve the reliability by evading the Common Mode/Common Cause (CM/CC) failure issue of similar redundant actuating systems. DRAS consists of two actuators i.e. Hydraulic Actuator (HA) and Electro Hydraulic Actuators (EHA). The DRAS are operated in two different modes namely active/active (A/A) mode and Active/Passive (A/P) mode. In A/P mode, the HA actively involve controlling the concerned control surface while the EHA and control surface act as a load to HA while in A/A mode, both actuators are engaged in controlling the control surface at the same time resulting in a force fighting exist between them that can even damage the control surface if the actuators are not synchronized. A lot of research has been carried out on DRAS in different operating modes and a significant contribution has been made to improve its stability. This thesis is about an AFTC scheme for modern aircrafts equipped with DRAS in A/A mode to affirm the reliable actuation and efficient control. The dynamics of both actuators of DRAS are considered that gives the desired control surface deflection. The force fighting issue of actuators being in A/A mode, is also addressed in this research. The effect of fault or failure of HA on system performance is analyzed and an Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ISMC) is designed which together with Control Allocation scheme (CA) improves the system performance at different fault severity level.
An Efficient Solar Energy Harvesting Technique
(Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2020) Muhammad Annas Hafeez,; SP17-REE-006; Dr, Muhammad Yaqoob Javeed,
From last few decades, Renewable energy sources are providing core role to fulfil energy demands. The need of producing energy in electrical form from everlasting energy sources arise due to fossils fuel’s reduction (coal, petroleum, natural gas etc.). Approximately 17% demand of the world’s energy is fulfilled through these everlasting sources. Energy through solar is considered the main source of energy among others renewable energy sources because of its pollution and noise free nature. Energy through solar is widely used to produce electricity by using photovoltaic cells. The inconsistent irradiance, temperature, and unexpected behaviour of weather effects the output of photovoltaic systems, classified as partial or complex partial shading conditions. Under these circumstances, obtaining the maximum output power from the PV system becomes strenuous. This thesis proposes a population-based optimization model, Harris Hawk’s Optimization (HHO) based on the natural inspiration to harvest maximum power under partial or complex partial shading conditions. It is an intelligent strategy, inspired by the surprise pounce chasing style of Harris Hawk. The proposed technique outperforms under different weather conditions, have less computational time, fast convergence speed, and zero oscillations after reaching a power point’s maximum limit. Performance comparison of HHO is made with conventional techniques such as, perturbs and observe (PandO), Incremental conductance (Inc), Bio-inspired particle swarm optimization (PSO), Adaptive cuckoo search optimization (ACS), Hybrid and Dragonfly (DA) algorithm. HHO achieves 99.4% efficiency on average and performs very well among rest of the competing techniques. Under HHO the oscillation is compact to < 1W & the re-tracking is tremendously effective. The results indicate in Table 4.3 shows the HHO algorithm outperforms other algorithms, with reference to fast tracking, convergence time, settling time, efficiency as well as stability under different weather conditions and can attain maximum power point with negligible oscillations, under partial and complex shading.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system is a built up geophysical system. The technique uses radio waves to test "the ground" which implies on any low loss dielectric material. In starting, GPR was basically associated with trademark geologic materials. GPR is similarly very much connected to a large group of materials, for example, wood, cement, and asphalt. The detection under collapsed is a developing field of GPR. In the recent years, mechanical arrangements and dealing with methodologies have been made to improve location precision and accelerate limitation. GPR can be helpful to handle such crises. Improvement in the area of GPR has been considered in this report. All things were considered for doing this. Earthquake and fallen structures are the circumstances that need different GPR applications. In the past it was handled by preparing radargram, while the variation in the Doppler frequency was introduces by physical movements of trapped, for instance, respiration. The principle goal of this task is to rescue more & more number of individuals from the adverse condition. Thus, GPR used to differentiate between the couple of objects on the same elevation at different distance and also identify and locate a human body and therefore possibly save number of lives and reduced number of deaths. For the matching of antenna exponential tapering is done so that the antenna is matched to the feed and better return loss is achieved. The return loss is less from -10dB and the frequency band for the prototype is 0.5GHz to 1.5GHz. For avoiding the high cost issues and to make portable device, worked on the miniaturization of helical antenna. The better results are found between the range of 0.75GHz to 1.3GHz. Also select the modulator (function generator) that gives input to VCO on 10 vpp for saw tooth, triangular and sinusoidal waveforms. It operates from 1Hz to 1MHz.

(COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2020) Lala Iqbal Khokhar , Muhammad Ahmed Butt , Mubas,; FA15-EEE-006 , FA15-EEE-009 , FA15-EEE-012 , FA15-EEE-020; Ayesha Ali; LHR TP 5890
This project deals with the automation of an industrial machine that involves filling and packaging of yogurt in plastic containers. The project reduces the food wastage and increases the hygiene by limiting human interaction with the processes involved. The automation is done by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and interfaced through a Human Machine Interface (HMI) along with the application of sensors and actuators. At first the machine places two cups at a time into circular belt and starts the rotation of conveyor belt. Then, it passes cups under ultra-violet (UV) light to sterilize the cups. In the next stage desired amount of volume is filled in the containers which can be changed according to the cup size and an aluminum foil is placed on top of it which is then sealed with the help of the heater. The containers are then lifted up, pushed onto the linear conveyor belt next to the main belt and is passed under stamping process. The proposed design is capable of filling around 12000 containers of yogurt during 12 hours of working. In the same duration only 3000 to 3500 cups are produced if performed manually. The project is accurate in its operation for filling precise volume of yogurt such that error does not exceed 4.5% of the desired volume. The automation results in eliminating labor cost of around 70,000 rupees on this scale. The project delivered a safe and hygienic environment that can perform the task of filling and packing of the food that is more than three times of the manually performed similar task. The project produces precise results with the features of clean-in-place (CIP), a process of cleaning internal parts of pipes and containers without disassembly. One other feature is the emergency stop button that is designed to interrupt power supply to the machine. This emergency button is useful if there is a malfunction in the processes of machine regarding filling or some other mechanical faults. The project concludes efficient productivity in terms of cost and time.

(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2022) Muhammad Zohaib Waqar; , SP20-REE-011; Dr. Muhammad Yaqoob Javed; LHR TP 8074
During the recent past years, the energy consumption throughout the whole country increases and unrenewable energy resources are exhausted. There is a need to introduce some other means of energy which will long lasting and can produce more energy. Renewable energy resources that are used to produce enormous amount of electricity are solar, hydral, wind and biomass energy. By 2020, the total installed capacity of energy in Pakistan is 34282 MW. Almost 2% of this energy generation is through PV and Wind. But due to current account deficit the import issue related to fuel is increasing day by day. There is a need to develop a cheap and self-sustained model related to energy generation in Pakistan. The population of Pakistan is approximately 230 million and now the culture of residential building is increasing in Pakistan. Due to which the energy demand is increasing rapidly as well. To fulfill those demands, the conventional source of energy is falling short day by day. So, the world is shifting towards the renewable source of energy and building integrated PV system is used for the purpose. Apparently in Pakistan, residential buildings are developing because of the rapid increase in population. So, to accommodate the people residential buildings are the most suitable. But it has the huge energy requirement that needs to fulfilled despite of the energy crisis in Pakistan. Therefore, Building Integrated PV system is used to install PV systems in these buildings to use renewable energy as a source to fulfill their energy requirements. In this research, PV integrated building of 133 KW Power will be analyzed and observed in Lahore. PV modules of 484 units, two invertors of almost 120 KW AC & power ratio of 1.109, batteries of 12 units having voltages of 1234 v and 3853 Ah will be used. In this grid connected building system plane is fixed and tilted at 90/6º, shading is linear and fixed load of 358 KW is observed. The total estimated production we need is to be 3132 MWh /Year. By analyzing the system, it is concluded that the total Produced Energy by the system is 118 MWh/ Year, total used energy is 3131.7 MWh/year. It is also concluded that Perf. Ratio PR is 76.74% and Solar Fraction SF is 3.83 %. Finally, the system is observed for both centralized systems and distributed systems to determine which system gives the most suitable and optimum outputs in different environmental conditions. Different environmental conditions like partial shading or uniform irradiance can be observed and the system can be designed accordingly. With the help of specific algorithms like DFO, P&O, INC and CS the outputs of the system can be deeply observed and the most suitable system can be designed according to the given condition to obtain the optimum outpu
Design and Analysis of Hybrid Power Management System for Trains
(COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2023) Abdullah Tariq Sipra,; SP20-REE-009; LHR TP 8073; LHR TP 8073
Design and Analysis of Hybrid Power Management System for Trains Being a developing country, Pakistan imports around 3,310,215 tons of diesel oil annually, as local oil accounts of only 16% of its total oil consumption. Out of this, almost 4% is utilized in the railway sector. Researchers around the world have addressed this issue and proposed a hybrid power generation system by installing solar photovoltaic panels on the rooftop of rail coaches, resulting in a significant decrease in diesel consumption. However, as this idea is in the phase of research, there are certain knowledge gaps in this field of study. The power generated from solar is not utilized when the train is static and a storage system is to be proposed so far in this specific type of application. Further, an optimization algorithm is required for efficient and optimal management of power between solar PV and diesel generator to optimally power the electrical load of coaches. The aim of this research work is to optimize the diesel consumption in trains to power the coaches. The research work includes the introduction of a battery storage system in order to capture the solar power generated when the train is static, which can be utilized during night as well as during cloudy days of train journey to power the electrical load. A control strategy has been designed for optimal power management between solar PV, battery storage, and diesel generator to reduce the diesel consumption for electrical load of train. Fuzzy logic controller and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system have been applied and their results have been compared to achieve the most optimized control strategy. It can be concluded that by considering a total number of 131 trains in Pakistan, with almost 13 coaches per train, and considering 42.12 kW solar PV system per train, almost 1,990,286 liters of diesel can be saved annually with a cost saving of almost PKR 468.31 million per year for Diesel Genset – Solar PV hybrid system, which comes out to be 15.63% saving of total diesel consumption. Almost 5,373.77 tonnes of CO2 emissions can also be reduced annually. Furthermore, by introducing a battery storage system of 80.16 kWh per train to make Diesel Genset – Solar PV – Battery Storage hybrid system, almost 2,906,945 liters of diesel can be saved annualy with a cost saving of almost PKR 684.00 million per year, which comes out to be 22.83% saving of total diesel consumption, and around
Efficient tracking of subatomic particles in the presence of multiple scattering in muon ionization cooling experiment
(comsats university islamabad lahore campus, 2022) Tehreem Tariq; FA19-REE-005; Dr. Imran Ghous; LHR TP 7888
Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is an experiment of high-energy physics. It is used to cool muon beams using ionization cooling. The target of MICE is to obtain a muon beam with reduced phase space. Particle detection inside the cooling chamber is important to gain insight into the process. It is a challenging task because millions of particles pass through the particle detectors, and it becomes further complicated due to the presence of multiple scattering. When particles pass through the detectors, multiple scattering occurs. Multiple scattering distorts the trajectories of particles. As a result, the position and momentum of particles change, and the non-linearity of the system increases. Track fitting algorithms are used for particle tracking in MICE. In the past, Kalman Filters (KFs) and Particle Filters (PFs) and their adaptations have been used for non-linear tracking in MICE experiments in the absence of multiple scattering. PF has been widely used in non-linear systems, but it was not used for non-linear non-Gaussian multiple scattering in MICE. Ignoring the multiple scattering or taking it as a Gaussian approximation, PF outperformed Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and Unscented Particle Filter (UPF) when compared in terms of accuracy but was more computationally complex than UKF. UPF was more computationally complex than PF but solved the problem of particle degeneracy and shifted the particles to the regions of high likelihood. In this thesis, non-linear non-Gaussian multiple scattering is studied by using the filters, which perform well for non-linear non-Gaussian systems because multiple scattering is non-Gaussian in nature, whereas most of the filtering techniques are designed for Gaussian approximations. The effect of multiple scattering, in its true form, on performance the of MICE has not been studied before. This will be the contribution of this research. In this research, UKF, PF, and UPF are used to study the behavior of the system in the presence of non-Gaussian multiple scattering and to compare their effectiveness in terms of accuracy and computational complexity.

Health Assessment Of Human Knee Using Acoustic
(Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2023) Zeeshan Arif; SP19-REE-011; Dr, Khurram Ali, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]
Based on the analysis of 116 healthy and 116 osteoarthritic knees, this thesis details the discovery of knee Acoustic Emission (AE) as a helpful tool for the health assessment of the human knee. Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widely spread disease all over the world which arises because of damage to the joint cartilage and subchondral bone. The main factors, which increase KOA, are unhealthy lifestyle, injuries, and aging. Currently, diagnosis mainly depends on symptoms reported by patients and medical tests like X-rays and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Symptoms start to appear over a years. Current diagnosis methods have some limitations and approachability issues because of the heavy machinery required to perform these tests and the cost of the test is also the main factor that this disease is not identified on time. One of the major limitations is that these tests are carried out when the body is in a static position and doctors get no visualization of the knee performance in normal functional movement. In this research, we are purposing a cost-effective method to get the status of knee health in its normal functional movement by studying the AE produced during the movement of the knee. We tried to identify the presence of OA in the knee and also tried to figure out how we can suggest the severity of the disease by using AEs. Hardware was developed with the collaboration of LUMS hardware was capable to listen to the acoustic sounds from the knee. The hardware setup includes the piezoelectric sensor, piezo film lab amplifier, and NI-DAQ USB6009. The signal is acquired from the knee joint by attaching the piezoelectric sensor with the help of double-sided tape.

Neural Network Based Gesture Identification System
(COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus Library Information Services, CUI Lahore, 2020) By: Zoolnurain , Anas Idrees , Ali Raza, Contributor; FA15-EEE-033 , FA15-EEE-032 , FA15-EEE-002; Muhammad Usman Rafique,; LHR TP 5864
Physically disabled individuals like deaf, mute and patients suffering from various disabilities require an effective communication device to make them independent. Traditionally flex sensors-based gloves have been used to identify the gestures of Sign languages. Current work is limited to only one glove used for capturing the gesture. ,Gesture recognition in the 3D environment has been a challenging task. The problem can be solved using Machine Learning techniques to separate the true gesture from the false gesture. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a portable universal communication device to assist patients with disabilities and provide them with better standards of living. One of the goals of this project is to implement and compare the performance of Neural networks to identify the true gesture. The system will use sign language (gestures identification from flex sensors) to communicate with people around them. The data will then be analysed in Matlab based machine learning environment to identify the performance of Machine learning algorithms. This proposal will also look into the feasibility of implementing machine learning algorithms in Android phones for gesture recognition.

As there is sudden increase of traffic on road due to the utilization of personal cars. This sudden increase in traffic results in traffic congestion because traffic signal is working without any vehicle density calculations. The proposed system work on image processing techniques to solve this problem. It performs the calculation of vehicles during night time to overcome the traffic congestion. System performs the identification of vehicles and in this way control the traffic density. Objects are identified and counted using some image pre-processing and blob detection techniques. This suggests the requirement of an intelligent video closed-circuit television providing continuous 24–hour observation, replacing the standard ineffective systems. The proposed work can lead to an efficient signalling system and provides a basis of real time implementation of pc vision technology in real time. Moreover, the proposed work introduces new schemes to increase the efficiency of the traffic signalling system. This paper presents an automatic vision primarily based traffic management system that is capable to observe and track vehicles from a video. Simulation results have shown that the article Classification module manages to attain associate accuracy of 91.14% for vehicle detection. Moreover, the system manages to successfully track the objects 91% of the time below no occlusion and 91.14% in presence of occlusion.
