TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

Graduate level projects

Traffic Light control using Programmable Logic Controller (2014): Designed a system using IP3416, where the

numbers of outputs to be controlled were higher than the number of outputs available from the PLC. 4 to 16 line

decoder (CD74HC4514) was used to manage the outputs.

Inverse time current relay (2014): Designed an inverse time overcurrent relay by IEEEC37.112 standards for

protection against different magnitudes of fault current containing harmonics and DC offset.

BLDC motor analysis (2013): Analyzed a non-sinusoidal brushless D.C motor using multiple reference frames.

Characteristics of the motor during free acceleration, fault condition along with load characteristics was found.

Power electronic converter control analysis (2014): Analyzed various control techniques involved in the working

of power electronic controllers like DC-DC converters and Buck converters

IR transceiver design (2013): Designed an IR transceiver for control and reception of IR commands. IR remote

control support and higher- rate data communications support was also provided.
