MOBILE CHARGING TECHNOLOGY

Maximum constant voltage, along with heat,

Charging a phone has evolved over the past
few years in this techno world with fast,
lightning, super, hyper and many more
charging techniques. The upcoming trend is
wireless charging which was fascinating at
first but now it has become common. Mobile
phone brands have started marketing their
products by having long-lasting battery and
adaptive fast charging.
Fast charging a battery isn’t giving
maximum voltage and current. Instead,
battery charging is broken down into two
distinct phases — constant current and
constant voltage. Fast charging technology
exploits the constant current phase by having
maximum current before the battery reaches
its peak voltage. Fast charging technology is
most effective when the battery is less than
50% charged but has a diminishing impact
on charge time once the battery passes 80%.
Incidentally, constant current charging is the
is more detrimental to battery life. Even if
the manufactures provide a higher end
cooling system, certain properties of the
chemicals in the battery does not support the
battery causing damage to the battery. By
multi anode and cathode tabs, we can lessen
a battery’s internal resistance and increase its
current. Dual-cell batteries, split the current
across two batteries connected in parallel for
faster charging. Increasing the efficiency of a
battery also involves voltage and current
monitoring and temperature. This data can be
feedback to smart chargers to optimize
power delivery to the device. This is where
fast charging takes place. This is not
implemented in other devices like laptop and
inverters because if they are used while the
device is charging, it may lead to a battery
blast.

 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN POWER SYSTEMS
POWER SYSTEMS
An electric power system is a network of
electrical components used to supply,
transmit and use electric power. Power
systems engineering is a subdivision of
electrical engineering that deals with
generation, transmission, distribution and
utilisation of electric power and the electrical
devices connected to such systems are
generators, motors and transformers
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Commonly, Artificial Intelligence is known
to be the intelligence exhibited by machines
and software. In electrical machines,
production of power is somewhat difficult to
transmit unless we have some efficient ideas.
There are so many important criteria we need
to focus like efficiency, duration, power
distribution etc. In these places we can
employ AI techniques for our benefit.
What are Artificial Neural Networks?
The inventor of the first neurocomputer, Dr.
Robert Hecht-Nielsen, defines a neural
network as "a computing system made up of
a number of simple, highly interconnected
processing elements, which process
13
information by their dynamic state response
to external inputs”. The idea of ANNs is
based on the belief that working of human
brain by making the right connections, can
be imitated using silicon and wires as living
neurons and dendrites.
Types of Artificial Neural Networks
There are two Artificial Neural Network
topologies – FeedForward and Feedback.
Applications:
Power system problems concerning
encoding of an unspecified non-linear
function are appropriate for ANNs.
ANNs can be particularly useful for
problems which require quick results,
like those in real time operation.
How ANNs can be used in power systems?
As ANNs operate on biological instincts and
perform biological evaluation of real world
problems, the problems in generation,
transmission and distribution of electricity
can be fed to the ANNs so that a suitable
solution can be obtained. Given the
constraints of a practical transmission and
distribution system, the exact values of
parameters can be determined.

SMART TEXTILES
Imagine communicating directly with your
clothes for temperature regulation and your
outfit responds by cooling or heating itself
automatically. Or when running a marathon,
your jersey can send real-time fitness
information directly to your coach or doctor.
This may be possible with the development
of Smart Fabrics.
What are smart fabrics?
POWER SYSTEMS The fabrics focused on improving
Smart textiles, electronic textiles, e-textiles
or smart garments, have a digital component
embedded in them. It can be a battery, a led,
an electronic chip, or a sensor. The
technology is incorporated into the fabric
through various methods, such as conductive
fibres or multilayer 3D printing. Smart
fabrics may contain electrical components
such as:
Controllers
Actuators
Sensor units

Advantages of Artificial Neural Networks
(ANN)
Problems in ANN are represented by
attribute-value pairs.
ANNs are used for problems having the
target function, the output may be discrete-
valued, real-valued, or a vector of several
real or discrete-valued attributes.

Smart fabrics can be grouped into two broad
categories: aesthetics and performance

 Appearance characteristics such as the
colour, size, or shape of the garments can be
modified using Smart Fabrics. Smart fabrics
in clothing allow the user to interact with
their environment and communicate data
through integrated sensors or lead wires to
“communicate” with wearable devices
through clothing.
One example is CuteCircuit's ‘Sound Shirt’
allows deaf people to experience music
through their bodies through the smart
garment.
Google and Levi’s
Google has been working with Levi Strauss
on a future smart denim jacket. The goal was
to produce a smart jacket that uses Google’s
Project Jacquard smart technology. This is a
smart fabric sleeved denim jacket with built-
in touch controls, which uses Bluetooth and
conductive wire to communicate with a
partner smartphone app.
NEW WIND TURBINE
A Norwegian company is currently
developing multi-turbine technology to
generate five times the energy as single wind
turbines produce in a whole year. Wind
energy is considered the cheapest and
quickest way to generate renewable energy.
Current wind turbines are built on a single
pole design with three gigantic blades.
15
In November 2019, the technology saw the
light, commercialized in the new Levi’s
jackets.
Smart Textiles for healthcare
Smart textiles can be programmed to monitor
things like biometrics, which could help
athletes, dieters, and physicians observing
patients’ vital signs. The application
possibilities in the healthcare sector are
endless
Smart textiles could be incalculably
beneficial in many areas, and that is without
even delving into many sectors, just looking
at their applications in the world of design
and fashion.

 SMART GRID IN ELECTRICITY NETWORK
Smart Grid is an electricity supply network
that uses digital communications technology
to detect and react to local changes in usage.
What is Smart Grid?
According to EPRI, Smart Grid is “a
modernization of the electricity delivery
system so that it monitors, protects, and
automatically optimizes the operation of its
interconnected elements”
According to the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Smart Grid is “a power system
architecture that permits two-way
communication between the grid and
essentially all devices that connect to it,
ultimately all the way down to consumer
appliances”.
What is the need of smart grid?
The benefits of a smart grid include
improved efficiency and reliability of the
electricity supply, integration of more
renewable energy into existing network,
supporting the development of electric
vehicles at scale, new solutions for
16
customers to optimize their electricity
consumption and reduction of carbon.
Smart Grid development in India is expected
to facilitate in integration of large scale
renewable generation through enhanced
monitoring of power system and greater
consumer participation as well as address the
various issues associated with the
distribution sector.
Primary objective of Smart Grid
1. National integration
2. Self-healing and adaptive: improve
distribution and transmission system
operation
3. Allow customers freedom to purchase
power based on dynamic pricing
4. Improved quality of power: less wastage
5. Integration of large variety of generation
options
Smart Grid Architecture
1. Energy storage devices
2. Local power generation
3. Digital sensors and controls
4. Real-time data
5. Real-time price signals
6. Broadband communications
7. Smart Homes
8. Smart Buildings
9. Electric transportation

 HYBRID VEHICLES
A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more
distinct types of power, such as submarines
that use diesel when surfaced and batteries
when submerged. Other means to store
energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic
hybrids.
The basic principle with hybrid vehicles is
that the different motors work better at
different speeds; the electric motor is more
efficient at producing torque, or turning
power, and the combustion engine is better
for maintaining high speed. Switching from
one to the other at the proper time while
speeding up yields is a win-win in terms of
energy efficiency.
VEHICLE TYPE
Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles
Early prototype motorcycles in the late 19th
century used the same principle.
In a parallel hybrid bicycle human and
motor torques are mechanically coupled
at the pedal or one of the wheels, or a
connection to a wheel using a
transmission element.
In a series hybrid bicycle (SHB) (a kind
of chainless bicycle) the user pedals a
generator, charging a battery or feeding
the motor, which delivers all of the
torque required.
18
A series hybrid electric-petroleum
bicycle (SHEPB) is powered by pedals,
batteries, a petrol generator, or plug-in
charger - providing flexibility and range
enhancements over electric-only
bicycles.
ENGINE TYPE
Hybrid electric-petroleum vehicles
When the term hybrid vehicle is used, it most
often refers to a Hybrid electric vehicle. A
petroleum-electric hybrid most commonly
uses internal combustion engines and electric
motors to power the vehicle. The energy is
stored in the fuel of the internal combustion
engine and an electric battery set.
Continuously outboard recharged electric
vehicle
Some battery electric vehicles can be
recharged while the user drives. Such a
vehicle establishes contact with an electrified
rail, plate, or overhead wires on the highway
via an attached conducting wheel or other
similar mechanisms. The vehicle's batteries
are recharged by this process and can then be
used normally on other roads until the battery
is discharged.
Hybrid fuel (dual mode)
Some electric trolleybuses can switch
between an onboard diesel engine and
overhead electrical power depending on
conditions. In principle, this could be
combined with a battery subsystem to create
a true plug-in hybrid trolleybus, although as
of 2006, no such design seems to have been
announced.
ELECTRAGYAN | ISSUE 2 | VOLUME 13
 Environmental issues
Fuel consumption and emissions reductions
The hybrid vehicle typically achieves greater
fuel economy and lower emissions than other
engines. These savings are primarily
achieved by three elements of a typical
hybrid design:
Relying on both the engine and the
electric motors for peak power needs, a
smaller engine can have fewer internal
losses and lower weight.
Having significant battery storage
capacity to store and reuse recaptured
energy, especially in stop-and-go traffic
typical of the city driving cycle.
Recapturing significant amounts of
energy during braking that are normally
wasted as heat.
