Children with mental challenges, functioning significantly below average, are treated with different kinds of psychological therapies. Data is collected from 145 families with one child each, meeting given qualifying criteria, taking similar psychological therapies for past three months. Likert scale is used to find the response of each therapy. 145 cases include 62.07% (90/145) boys and 37.93% (55/145) girls. Multiple regression models are used to determine effectiveness of these therapies on basic skill /behavior /mental ability. It is concluded that head phone therapy is the most significant contributor for estimating basic skill (BS), Intellectual ability (IA) and Social and Psychological development (SPD). The given psychological therapies are proven effective in 99% of cases.

Reduction of Power System Oscillations Using Facts Controllers
E Saidulu,S Tulasiram
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
Several studies have investigated the potential of using FACTS Controllers' capability in damping inter-area oscillations. The uses of Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) have been the subjects of several studies evaluating their respective effectiveness in enhancing power system dynamics. The recently proposed phase imbalanced series capacitive compensation concept has been shown to be effective in enhancing power system dynamics as it has the potential of damping power swing as well as sub synchronous resonance oscillations. In this project, the effectiveness of a "hybrid" series capacitive compensation scheme in damping power system oscillations is evaluated. A hybrid scheme is a series capacitive compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed series capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a TCSC in series with a fixed capacitor (Cc). The effectiveness of the scheme in damping power system oscillations for various network conditions, namely different system faults and tie-line power flows is evaluated using the MATLAB simulation program.

Custom Power Devices For Improve Power Quality
P Ssatish Kumar, M Venkatesh
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
This paper describes the modeling, simulation and analyzes of custom power devices for compensating voltage sag and swell conditions in three phase systems. Faults occurring in power distribution systems or facilities in plants cause the voltage sag or swell. If a fault occurs, it can damage the power system or user's facility. Sensitivity to voltage sags and swells varies within different applications. For sensitive loads (PLC's, paper mills etc.), even voltage sags of short duration can cause serious problems in the entire system. Normally, a voltage interruption triggers a protection device, which causes shutdown of the entire system. In order to mitigate power interruptions, this paper proposes a scheme for voltage sag support based on a pulse width modulated autotransformer. The proposed scheme is able to quickly recognize the voltage sag or swell condition, and it can correct the voltage by either boosting the input voltage during voltage sag events or reducing the voltage during swell events.

Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRF) along with PI Controller Based Dynamic Voltage Restorer
P Ananda Mohan, M Sandeep
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
The problem of voltage sags and swells and its major impact on sensitive loads are well known. To solve this problem, custom power devices are used. One of those devices is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is one of the most efficient and effective modern custom power devices used in power distribution networks. A new control algorithm for the DVR is proposed in this paper to regulate the load terminal voltage during sag, swell in the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). This new control algorithm is based on synchronous reference frame theory (SRF) along with PI controller is used for the generation of reference voltages for a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). These voltages, when injected in series with a distribution feeder by a voltage source inverter (VSI) with PWM control, can regulate the voltage at the load terminals against any power quality problem in the source side. It first analyzes the power circuit of the system in order to come up with appropriate control limitations and control targets for the compensation voltage control through the DVR. The control of the DVR is implemented through derived reference load terminal voltages. The proposed control scheme is simple to design. Simulation results carried out by MATLAB with its Simulink and Sim Power System (SPS) toolboxes to verify the performance of the proposed method.

Alleviation of Voltage Excursions in Large Power Systems
M. Rakesh, V Krupakar
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
The purpose of reactive power scheduling is to improve the voltage profile of the system. This objective is achieved by installing reactive power sources at appropriate locations in a large power network. Proper adjustment of these sources is of paramount importance in obtaining the desired goal. This paper presents a methodology for alleviation of over voltage and under voltage conditions in the day to day operation of power systems by minimizing the sum of the squares of the voltage deviations from preselected desired values. The above objective function is selected to meet the recent requirements of utilities that are paying increasing attention to the problem associated with the voltage profile in power system. To achieve the desired objective, the control variable selected are tap position of transformers, reactive power injection of VAR sources and generator excitations. The proposed algorithm is applied to IEEE 30-bus systems and the results are obtained satisfactory with the proposed approach.

Design of a High frequency Hysteresis-Controlled CMOS Buck Converter for low power Applications
T Swapna, M Rakesh
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
This paper presents the design of a 20 MHzhysteresis-controlled CMOS buck converter using pseudo ramp techniques for ultra-low power applications. The proposed buck converter can improve the transient response using hysteresis-controlled and fixed-voltage band techniques. Using pseudo ramp technique, pseudo inductor current signal can be produced to reduce the output voltage ripple. At the same time, the sub-1- V structure leads to low power dissipation. Moreover, by adopting the inverter-based low-voltage error amplifier topology, the proposed buck converter becomes most suitable for the low-power applications.The prototype of buck converter has been designed with 180nm 2P3M CMOS technology. The operating frequency of proposed converter is 20 MHz, with an inductor of 8.5 μH and a capacitor of 330 nF. Experimental results show that the output voltage is 0.5 V, the load current is 27 mA.
Author Keywords:- Buck converter, hysteresis-controlled techniques, CMOS, pseudo ramp signal generation.
