ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
Failure Analysis and Automation of ABB Robot Waterjet Cutter, Guide: Dr. M. Prem Ananth June 2022
• Spearheaded a team of 3 and employed tools such as Failure Mode Effective Analysis (FMEA) and Why Why Analysis to find
the root cause of the failure of the accumulator.
• Utilized a thermal overload relay to terminate the power input when the liquid temperature stored inside the accumulator
reaches 50°C to avoid future accidents.
Regenerative Braking System, (Team of 3), Guide: Dr. S. Saravanan Oct 2021
• Modified the configuration of the brake mechanism to allow it to perform as a driver for the generator only during braking.
We achieved a whopping 12% efficiency increase. Software used: ANSYS and PTC CREO
Intellectual speed control of a fan using a thermocouple Sep 2019
• Thermal and speed sensors were installed on a 15W fan and an Arduino UNO microcontroller governed the entire setup.
• Programmed the Arduino such that the speed of the fan varies according to the temperature, which resulted in saving 50
watt-hours of electricity each day.
CONFERENCES:
A Soft Switched Coupled Inductor-Based Interleaved Buck-Boost Converter for LED Driver Jan 11, 2024
