Abstract—Distributed Generation offers environmental and economic benefits over centralized
generation. Renewable energy sources are inherently distributed in nature and the most important
source to meet the future energy demands. Most generators in distributed generation are
asynchronous and are affected by the problem of reactive power. They cannot produce reactive
power but actually draws it from the power system. It can cause voltage drop which is not
acceptable for the customers due to narrow operating range of voltages for appliances. This
problem can be overcome by using reactive power management techniques. Power factor control
is most commonly used technique for reactive power compensation. Many such devices used for
reactive power management are explained in this paper.

Abstract—Transmission lines are the most sensitive part of power system network and holds the highest
percentage of fault occurrence. A transmission line model is created in this paper using PSCAD software
which simulates all types of faults. A useful alternative to conventional relays based on artificial neural
network is proposed in this study. Neural networks have strong capability to learn complex relationships
with the help of data presented to it. Here, data generated by PSCAD model is provided to the neural
network, which are sets of three currents and voltages. First network of 6-10-4 configuration is created,
based on the default setting, gives mean squared error of 0.051 and a correlation of 0.88. Change in
performance was observed in varying influential parameters of neural network, which includes hidden
neurons, layers and transfer function. Final model having configuration 6-17-6-4 was selected, which
reduces the error to 0.017 and the overall correlation rose up to approximately 0.97. The whole neural
network process was carried out on MATLAB® software.

Abstract—Wireless ad hoc network is an infrastructure-less network which possess
characteristics like decentralized administration and very less efforts for setup. In ad hoc
networks, no such entity is determined that tells us the optimum route for data flow. As several
nodes contend for the medium at same time so there is a high probability that the nodes will
interfere each other's communication. Therefore, the interference in the network among the users
needs to be managed using intelligent Multi-access control (MAC) schemes. This work focuses
on the efficient interference management in wireless ad hoc networks. Several implementation of
different MAC schemes for interference managementthatincludesAloha, Spread-spectrum (SS)
and Frequency-hopping (FH) schemes have been implemented and analyzed. For this purpose, a
system model is assumed to observe the nature and impact of interference. MATLAB
implementation results show that near-field interferers are the major cause of interferencebutfar-
fieldinterferersalsoconstituteapproximately 80% towards interference hence can't be ignored and
needs to be managed. The results further deduce that FH scheme gives best result in reducing
interference and increasing Transmission Capacity (TC) when compared to Aloha and SS
schemes in a given outage constraint.

Abstract—A miniaturized dual-band folded monopole antenna has been proposed for the
operation at 915MHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands. The dual resonance from a monopole antenna
with total length less than 0.2λ915MHz including a finite ground plane which occupies one sixth
of the total antenna space are the key features of the proposed antenna. The proposed dual-band
antenna can be easily integrated with a printed circuit board without using its ground plane. The
desired dual resonances were obtained by implementing a folded conductor pattern for the
antenna’s main radiator along with two rectangular conductor stubs deployed at different
positions along the main radiator on a 60 x 20 x 1mm3 FR4 substrate. The 915MHz resonance
was caused by the folded conductor pattern of the main radiator with a stub located at its end
while a shorter conductor segment defined on the main radiator by placing the second
rectangular stub at about 0.25λ2.4GHz caused the other resonance at 2.4GHz. The design of the
proposed dual-band antenna was simulated and analyzed in ANSYS HFSS. The simulated return
loss of about -18dB at both frequencies along with a peak realized gain of 3.2dB and 2.3dB were
obtained at 915MHz and 2.4GHz respectively.

Abstract— Inverters have become inevitable part of power system with many useful
applications. The proposed multilevel inverter in this research is a specialized equipment
deployed in Distributed Generation (DG) integrated with National Grid. Distributed generation
requires inverters for energy flow between DC source and grid. Keeping in view the importance
of inverters an effective inverter with multi stages has been proposed which will not only
perform its energy flow duty from DC source to load but also reduce the signal pollution in terms
of harmonics. This paper further highlights the application of inverters in various generation
sources such as fuel and Photovoltaic (PV) cells. Main focus of this research is on improving the
efficiency and quality of output voltage waveform which may contain severe harmonics from
DG sources. Multilevel inverter is one of the most modern emerged and popular type of
invention utilized in alternative high power applications. Selective harmonic elimination stepped
waveform (SHESW) method is utilized to snub prominent lower order harmonics from resulting
waveform. This research particularly compares various multilevel inverters and highlights the
suitability of three phase eleven-level inverter for proposed DG system. Results show successful
operation and effective mitigation of harmonics reported from DG system for the improvement
of power quality. Moreover, results highlight the feasibility of the fundamental frequency
switching application in three-phase eleven level Cascaded Multi Level Inverter (CMLI).

Abstract—The operation and growth of interconnected power systems has given rise to many
complexities. The power transfer capabilities are becoming limited day by day. It has become
important to develop the strategies to cope with such problems and utilize transmission systems
at their maximum thermal capacity. This thesis presents SIMULINK model of Unified Power

systems of 132/220kV. UPFC model is a very important member of family of Flexible AC
Transmission System (FACTS) devices. It is a microcontroller based solid state converter
capable of controlling active and reactive power in transmission line and controls power flow
and real power loss. This work will reveal the effects of installing UPFC model for single and
double transmission line in MATLAB/Simulink to observe voltage regulation, power loss
minimization and improvement in power transfer capability. Simulation results of three cases for
single and double line transmission systems with and without UPFC device are examined in this
work to observe the effects of installing this device in power system.

Abstract-Chaotic attractors for various electronic circuits have been proposed over the past few
decades. Chaotic behavior can be explained by both autonomous and non-autonomous circuits.
The operation of non-autonomous circuits has usually exchanged physical simplification of the
circuit for mathematically complex analysis, or vice versa. So, autonomous circuits are preferred
from practical standpoint. In this paper, a simple autonomous circuit is presented with robust
chaotic behavior. This circuit minimizes both physical and model component counts offering
simple analysis. Nonlinear dynamical behavior of the proposed circuit will be explored towards
fixed point attractor. Circuit simulation will be done on Multisim software as well as
experimental analysis will also be performed for exploring the nonlinear behavior of the circuit.

Abstract—This paper demonstrates and introduce a way to people to control their home
appliances and generators remotely through a cell phone using the Dual Tone Multi Frequency
(DTMF) technology. DTMF gives an individual a great security to control his/her home at less
cost. The fast growing electricity demand in Pakistan has posed a serious challenge to electricity
distribution systems and most of the utility companies have to follow a trend of load shedding; is
the art of managing the load demand by shedding some load in critical situations where demand
is increased than total generation to avoid system failure. Therefore, the Electric Generator are
used to generate electricity in almost every home along with the standby Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS). Starting a generator after every 2-3 hours has been very tedious and tiresome.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) kits are being used with them to shift the connection from the
utility supply to generator supply, but the cost of ATS kits is high and these kits are only being
utilized for large diesel generators. The starting of small scale generator is also tedious work.
Which require the presence of dedicated person for this task because it requires a person to
personally go there and start it each time. A mobile controlled cost effective design for
controlling home generators as well as home appliances is proposed in this paper. The added
password based security is the main advantage of this research with a very small working cost of
this system as compared to other well-known market based technologies.

Abstract—Photovoltaic (PV) arrays usually operate at a low
voltagelevel.Tointegratelowrenewablevoltagewithhighvoltage DC microgrid, a high gain DC
converter is essential. Moreover, to enhance efficiency and reduce the cost, multiport converters
play a pivotal role. Various topologies proposed in the literature achieve only low voltage gains
from source to load. This paper presents a DC converter that achieves both a high gain output as
well as multiport operation. The converter also integrates a storage device (battery) with
renewable resource to provide backup in the absence of renewable energy. Bidirectional voltage
flow is achieved through buck operation for battery charging. The proposed topology presents a
four port converter with a voltage source, battery and asymmetric bipolar outputs, suitable for
interfacing with DC microgrid and hybrid electric vehicles. Two inductors are used in the
topology to achieve high voltage gain. Circuit operation, simulation, voltage gain and
efficiencies are critically analyzed. Operation, design consideration and simulations at different
levels of the proposed structure are presented.

Abstract— Model-driven code generation allows rapid generation of precise code thus reducing
the development effort and the delivery time. Consequently, model-driven code generation has
been a topic of interest in varying perspectives. While model-driven code generation has been
explored well in many domains, its full potential has not been exploited in the context of aspect-
oriented software development. The existing approaches have mainly focused on code generation
from class diagrams only. Code generation from class diagrams is straightforward as majority of
the constructs involved in these diagrams are directly mapped to those in programming
languages. However, code generated using class diagrams is limited to skeletons of classes and
methods only and does not contain behavior. In this study, we use the state diagrams and propose
a mapping of its constructs to AspectJ language. We use the Reusable Aspect Models notation
for this purpose. The approach addresses the mapping of both structure and behavior, however,
owing to their strength with respect to modeling the system behavior, it essentially focuses on the
state diagrams encapsulated in these models. A detailed mapping of different features of the state
diagrams is proposed. The approach is illustrated by means of aspect models and corresponding
mapped code from an aspect-oriented implementation of a Remote Service Caller example. The
implementation shows that the approach can effectively be applied to obtain code for complete
structure and behavior modeled using Reusable Aspect Models.

Abstract–Underwater surveillance systems use passive sensor arrays for detection, classification
and tracking of both surface and subsurface targets. A passive sensor array in a linear or circular
configuration is used to detect and track targets with acoustic radiations into water i.e. frequency
lines, machinery and propulsion noises, commonly known as narrowband signatures.
Narrowband processing is responsible for analysis and classification of target’s acoustic
signatures. Broadband processing provides information about target’s bearing, amplitude and its
movement with time. Target bearing history along with detailed analysis of its narrowband
signatures are valuable information for any underwater surveillance system. This paper presents
an automated approach for association of narrowband signatures with broadband tracking that
relates the frequency lines to the corresponding bearings common to a single target. The
proposed methodology requires the system operator to select a target’s frequency lines and the
association algorithm automatically starts tracking the corresponding bearings on the bearing-
time history display. This automated association approach provides several advantages such as
resolving crossing targets scenario, facilitating target motion analysis, and improving the
response time of system operators.

Abstract— Monitoring of aerodynamic parameters in real time has always been an area of
interest for researchers. These parameters are critically required for designing and optimizing
aerodynamic shapes as well as experimentally validating CFD results. Wall shear stress is an
important aerodynamic parameter that defines skin friction drag on the body. However, its
precise measurement has always remained a challenging task due to high spatial and temporal
resolution. Introduction of MEMS technology has provided a solution to this problem. This
paper presents use of a novel MEMS sensor fabricated through silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology for measurement of wall shear
stress. Sensor is based on hot-wire transduction mechanism that works on heat transfer principle.
Sensor sensitivity upto 1 pascal has been demonstrated through customized data acquisition
system and characterization setup. Shear stress sensor exhibited a sensitivity of 940 mV/pa at
18mA current. Targeted application areas are real time flow monitoring, active flow control,
microfluidics and wind tunnel testing.

Abstract—The application of bio-inspired flapping foils as energy harvesters has been studied in
detail during the past decade. However analytical, numerical and experimental studies have
primarily focused on investigation of basic underlying physical principles as well as performance
enhancement of flowinduced flapping foil energy harvesters especially those related to fully
active systems. In this paper, performance analysis of a semi-active flapping foil system has been
carried out, where pitch mode is activated while useful energy is extracted through an idealized
damper via flow-induced oscillating foil energy harvesters. Governing equation of motion is
modeled through a spring-damper system while modeling of hydrodynamic forces and moments
is achieved through a Theodorsen’s 2D thin plate model. Parametric analysis has exhibited a
strong dependence on various factors including kinematic (pitch and heave amplitudes),
geometric (pivot location) and structural (damping and stiffness) parameters. All these
parameters are optimized to achieve an enhanced performance, where efficiencies of
approximately 23% have been achieved at specific parametric range. Analysis shows that due to
strong fluid-structure interaction, flapping foils are capable of being deployed as potential energy
harvesters whose capacity can be enhanced through regulation of various flow and structural
parameters.

Abstract—Map building of an environment is the foremost need for precise automatic robotic
navigation. Moreover, fault detection and recovery are importantly required for every fully
automatic system. The presented work describes influence of qualitative trends of the data
streams coming from IMU sensor, Odometry sensor, and Mapping in order to detect faulty
creation of the map of an environment at runtime. It detects qualitative trends (inc,dec,con)
within sensors data using a special software
entitycalledBinaryQualitativeObserver(BiQObs).BiQObstakes two data streams from robot
sensors, extracts their qualitative trends, and finally compares these trends to find out whether
they match or not. The work comprises of basically three main activity phases: Observe, Detect
Fault and Repair Fault. First phase Observe uses BiQObs for generating and observing trends in
sensors data specifically YAW measurement of the robotic pose from three different sources
namely IMU, odometry, and pose from mapping. Besides BiQObs, two more observers namely
Node Observer (NObs) and General observer (GObs) are also used for monitoring system nodes
and their topics. Second phase Detect Fault uses Diagnosis Model Server and Diagnosis Engine
to detect therootcauseofthefaultcausedbymismatchbetweenqualitative trends. Last phase Repair
Fault uses Diagnosis Repair Engine and action servers for repairing the diagnosed fault. Finally
experimental results are evaluated using the scenario of mapping of an unknown environment
with Pioneer-3DX robot equipped withSICKlaserandIMUsensors.Evaluationprocesssuccessfully
detects fault like incorrect odometry due to slippage of wheels, and brings the case in normal

Abstract—With global warming reaching an alarming state and global warming becoming a real
cause of concern for survival, Renewable Energy (RE) resources are gaining more importance
with every passing minute. However, most renewable sources are intermittent in nature and
generate a lower level voltage than is required by most applications to operate. Hence, a DC-
converter becomes essential to boost the lower level voltage to a higher application level voltage.
Moreover, a battery port becomes mandatory for backup storage application for load support.
Multi-Port Converter (MPC) can integrate both the converter and the battery port within a single
structure. This paper proposes a novel DC-DC MPC with a backup battery port. The proposed
converter supports five ports including three renewable inputs, one battery and a single output
port. The port isdesignedtosupportthegridandwillgenerateanoutputvoltage of 400 V. A PIC
control-based scheme is also implemented for the proposed converter to make the outputs
stabilized for fluctuating input voltage.

Abstract—Continuous power supply is one of the major concern in modern world and for this
purpose protection schemes must be efficient enough to overcome faults with minimum time.
This paper presents the design of electromechanical and microcontroller (Arduino) based relay as
an educational lab trainer to compare the behavior of both relays in over current protection of
radial feeder. The proposed trainer introduces the use of both electromechanical and
microcontroller based relays in a single panel in such a way that the system could be switched to
either electromechanical or microcontroller based relay setup. It is designed for protection of two
sections so that the concept of primary and secondary protection is observed. Microcontroller
based relay setup is coded with IDMT characteristics and requires the values of PSM and TMS
for the calculation of operational time of relay to clear the fault. This trainer also displays the
magnitude of fault current as well as operational time of relay required to clear the fault. The
fault is incorporated to the system by the insertion of low resistance path which leads to
additional flow of current. Simulations are carried on Proteus and the hardware result shows that
microcontroller based relays are fast in operation having less time of operation, more efficient
and have very low cost as compared to conventional electromechanical relays. This trainer’s idea
could be implemented in engineering universities as a compulsory component for electrical
power students.

Abstract—This paper proposes a novel Dual Mover Yokeless Multi-tooth Linear Flux
Switching Permanent Magnetic (DMYMLFSPM) machine that is suitable for low speed
applications. Utilizing commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) package, two different
topologies, i.e., conventional Dual Stator Yokeless Multi-tooth Linear Switched Flux Permanent
Magnet (DSYMLSFPM) machine and proposed DMYMLFSPM are analyzed and compared for
electromagnetic performance such as detent force, attractive force, average thrust force, thrust
force ripple ratio, no load flux linkage, and Total Harmonics Distortion (THD). Results illustrate
that proposed DMYMLFSPM machine have negligible attractive force, lower thrust force ripples
ratio, reduced cogging force and THD, while higher average thrust force, when compared with
conventional DSYMLSFPM machine. Proposed machine is suitable for applications where high
power density, low attractive forces and thrust ripples are required.

Abstract—The sole purpose of this work is to inspect effectively the tradeoff relation between
the cost of electricity and consumer satisfaction level. Variation in power demand in day ahead
with forecasting studies for the low cost and cheap energy procurement (CEP) and unplanned
recognition of actual time renewable power develops difficulties for the IEMS to meet the
satisfaction level of the customers. For the AC/DC hybrid system, where losses are observed in
the convertor and invertor during AC to DC and DC to AC conversion respectively, the problem
becomes more complex. In the same manner, the stats of peak hours show the requirement of
increasing generation power in order to fulfill the peak load demand which is bought at very
much higher rates by the power producer companies. So here I will give the optimization
technique of problem solving for minimizing such issue for the average time cost of power for
the utmost satisfaction level of the consumer. The proposed solution will be achieved by
introducing the algorithm of Load Scheduling and Hybrid Switching Control (LSHSC) on the
framework of convex optimization. This results in the delivering of efficiently low-cost
electricity with assisting shift-able loads within the convinced time limit. The intelligent energy
management system (IEMS) usually installed near the consumer along with distributed
generators. The substantial part depends on the continuously monitoring and at the same time
controlling the flow of power between power producing utilities and consumers through hybrid
AC/DC bus system. A large convertor and invertor losses are being incorporated in this system.

Abstract— Human computer interaction is very wideranging and diverse field regarding
research and design activity. This interaction between humans and computer systems can be
done through various methods. Gesture recognition offers a natural and intuitive way for
interaction. It is a natural and effective mean of communication and interaction for hearing-
impaired people. Gestural cue is a category of non-verbal communication in which noticeable
body actions transfer specific messages. This paper presents a gesture recognition system for the
development of a Human ComputerInteraction (HCI) using Leap Motion Sensor (LMS). LMS is
a device proficient with tracking hand motions or gestures. The objective of this research is
development of an HCI system that will convert sign language to text for hearing impaired
people. Through hand or body gestures, the disabled can easily convey their message to the
caregiver or robot. Sign language has been known for providing natural and intuitive way to
interact with computers or machines and robots. We are employing three recognition techniques
of Sign Language to Text Conversion (SLTC) to determine the performance of the model.
Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Geometric Template Matching and Cross Correlation
techniques were employed for static gesture recognition and the best results were acquired from
geometric template matching.
Key words--- Human Computer Interaction, Gesture recognition, leap motion controller, SLTC

Abstract—Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are pilotless vehicles which were originally introduced for
military purpose. They are an important weapon in US war-on-terrorism, since 2004, US have attacked
many targets in Pakistan using them. Pakistan condemns these attacks and denies the allegation of their
secret approval. In this research paper, we propose a neural network based model to minimize the
adverse effects of these UAVs by predicting their frequency in advance. We trained the model on
Pakistan UAV strikes data. Proposed model also predicts the number of militant killed, civilian
causalities and number of injuries to gauge the severity of the attack. Results show that model predicts
these variables with good accuracy and small RMSE (Root Mean Square Error).

Abstract—Rapid advancements in Information Technology and industrialization methods have
expedited the advent of 4th Industrial revolution also known as integrated industry industrial
internet or smart manufacturing. The notion of Industry 4.0 promises unprecedented progress in
next generation of manufacturing technology by fundamentally changing the ways of production
and value creation with the help of digital transformation in product/service offerings and
horizontal/vertical value chains. Industry4.0 is underpinned by a spectrum of emerging
technologies such as internet of things, cloud computing, machine learning, adaptive robotics,
cyber physical systems, artificial intelligence, Industrial Integration,
andServiceOrientedComputing.Distributedledgertechnology also known as blockchain can not
only affect Industry4.0 but also has its direct implications in the above mentioned set of
technologies. Lack of powerful tools for visibility, accountability and auditing is a major
obstacle in complex processes and supply chains of Industry 4.0. In particular, issues of cloning
of products, counterfeiting, trickier maintenance and IP theft are crucial teething issues for
realizing Industry 4.0, which poses unique challenges. This paper is an effort to break the ground
for demonstrating and presenting the use of Blockchain technology in 4th industrial era.In this
paper we explore some concepts of industry 4.0 using blockchain technology and see how
blockchain enablement is beneficial for industry 4.0. we explore different areas where we can use
blockchain technology to foster the development in Industry4.0.

Abstract—This paper presents a usability study that aims to develop a reliable, multipurpose,
comprehensive scale for classification and rating the quality of m_health applications. The rating
scale will be primarily based on the ISO standards of Usability (ISO: 9241-11) based on
Effectiveness, Efficiency and Satisfaction and another ISO Standard (9126-1) composed of
Functionality, Reliability, Usability, Efficiency, Maintainability and Portability. At the present
time, there is no quality assessment tool for mobile application rating based on usability beyond
Star_Ratings. This scale will initially be used for analysis of different m_health applications and
will be helpful for researchers. Our methodology is based on four steps. In first step, we selected
9 most famous m_Health applications which have maximum number of downloads which were
evaluated by involving 45 end users. In 2nd step the existing work on rating scale is explored
which is found very limited. In 3rd step, we defined taxonomy of usability parameters,
distributed them in major and minor classes and the questionnaire for rating m_health
applications was also designed. In 4th step, for evaluation of new Rating scale, another group of
45 users were selected. After evaluation of 9 m_health applications, it is finally found that newly
developed rating scale is compatible with user effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. The 5
star rating scale cannot point out which features of applications require enhancement or need
improvements. The newly developed scale rightly highlights the weakness of an application in
five different categories. The details questionnaire not only shows satisfaction level on individual
parameters but also highlight the aspects which need attention.

Abstract—The issue of hotspot occurs when the sink neighboring nodes drain more energy and
the whole network is isolated. These nodes consume more energy due to high communication
and become dead early then other nodes of the network. Thus, the big challenge in WSANs
systems is to prolong the lifetime of the network by solving the hot-spot problem. The lifetime of
the network is directly based on the energy consumption of the network. To increase the lifetime
of the network by mitigates the hotspot issue with the help of distributed sink (DS). Several
challenges are associated with this problem like delays in the network, data packets losses, life
and energy of the network, and throughput of the network. The big challenge due to hotspot issue
is the energy of the sink neighboring nodes, as the energy is decreased when the total network
communication is stopped. Therefore, its need to investigate the issue of hotspot problem with
the help of some energy aware technique. In this paper, the energy-aware distributed sink
algorithm is introduced to rescue the hotspot issue in wireless sensors and actor’s network
(WSAN). The proposed algorithm is formally analyzed with the help of formal methods based
specification language. For the verification and validation of the proposed algorithm, the Vienna
development method Specificationlanguage Tool Box (VDM-SL) is used. Both the dynamic and
static models are developed to ensure the correctness of the algorithm with some pre/post
conditions, invariants, and attributes.

Abstract—The Internet of Things (IoT) regulates millions of terabytes of data for everyday
commercial, industrial, technical and personal usage. Considered as the greatest technological
revolution, all IoT-based transformations are now occurring to increase productivity and create a
coordinated world across business and technologies. However, the exchange, storage, processing
and transfer of tremendous amounts of sensitive information has also given rise to severe
security and privacy concerns that compromise the efficiency and usability of IoT. It has become
a challenge for users to depend on such a vulnerable technology, where the IoT security risks
outweigh its benefits. Several defense techniques, algorithms and solution models have been
proposed and implemented to counter these attacks. However, there are limitations involved as
robust incursions make these solutions obsolete. It is vital to have an overview of the research
done and find loopholes to fill in the security gaps to ensure a safe IoT ecosystem. Realizing the
need of enhanced problem-solving strategies, this paper provides a systematic review of the
existing strategies for IoT security and privacy, and provides an analytical approach in
identifying the concerns and solutions. It discusses IoT architecture, classifies the various
domains of security and privacy and presents a taxonomy and a comparative analysis to outline
the security goals, threats and attacks, and solutions proposed in recent years (2015-2018). Our
research methodology comprises of thorough qualitative analyses and a literature review to help
evaluate the questions asked in this survey. We also highlight the limitations of the previous
studies and the open issues. Our survey results focus on the problems that require further
attention to improve the IoT progression.

Abstract— Educational institutions form a considerable portion of the energy demand and are
often ignored as a contributor to this demand hike. With the increased emphasis on energy
conservation in buildings, educational institutions have started Energy management programs to
reduce the energy demand in order to cut the energy expenses. This paper presents a critical
analysis on the base of Energy Audit conducted in University of Engineering and Technology
Taxila aimed to analyze the demand pattern and the prospects of improvements in the current
electrical system. The paper present the details regarding the saving potential possible through
retrofitting of energy-guzzling loads with improved and efficient ones. The data collected is
analyzed using DIALux for the lighting loads and Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) for heating
and cooling systems. An estimated load reduction of 63.02% can be achieved per day by
retrofitting old lighting load with a newer one. This energy consumption saving accounts up to
2907 kWh per day including utilization factor. An estimated reduction of 25.01% is achieved per
day by the replacement of old Air-Cooling and Air-conditioning appliances with the new ones
with the energy consumption saving up to 2336.48 kWh per day including utilization factor. The
net payback period for retrofitting is calculated to be 1.95 years for lighting and 6.30 years for
aircooling and air-conditioning load. In order to take one step forward towards a sustainable
campus, the solar potential and feasibility of the campus are calculated. The peak rooftop solar
potential is calculated to be 2.81 MW with expected annual generation around 4,434,000kWh.
PV System software is used to carry out the solar potential results. Energy Audit methodology
alongside cost estimation for the suggested improvements in appliances, payback periods, and
solar harvesting potential is calculated in the paper. The recommended improvements will help
us in energy conservation and achievement of a sustainable campus.

Abstract—A large Communication gap exist between Hearing and Speech Impaired
People(HSIP) and normal hearing people because HSIP used sign language and normal people
used spoken language. Sign language is the only way to communicate with HSIP. There are
many system exists that translate signs into text of spoken language to make possible of this
communication. Our proposed system Home Sign Language Tutor is divided into two main
sections. One is home sign dictionary that helps to learn the home sign language and other
section translates the signs performed by HSIP into plain text in real time. We used kinect sensor
to get skeletal data from user. User Centered Design process is used to design the system which
involves user in every stage of the design process. After developing the system we performed an
experiment on 30 (Thirty) HSIP. We divided the participants in 2 equal groups in which one was
Normal and other is Expert. Normal group has hearing parents and expert group has hard hearing
parents. Home signs are used in home in early age when HSIPs are not exposed to formal
learning in school. In this proposed system we translated 21 (Twenty one) home signs into text.
Almost 10 signs were already in use or have little bit understanding in HSIPs while we have
designed 11 new signswithhelpofsignlanguageinterpreter.Resultsshowsthat75 % participants
from normal group and 60 % from expert group performed 11 to 15 gestures successfully. The
same experiment is conducted again with same groups and success rate for 95% is achieved with
normal group participants for 16 to 20 gestures. On the other hand 60 % expert group performed
all 21 signs successfully.
