Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at IIT Kanpur. The EE department is one of the oldest departments at IIT Kanpur. It was one of the first five departments with which IIT Kanpur started in 1960. Subsequently, the Advanced Centre for Electronics Systems (ACES) came into existence in early 1970 by a grant from the Ministry of Defence to undertake manpower training and to carry out research and development related to defense. Subsequently, several sponsored projects in many subject areas with large interdisciplinary content were handled through ACES. ACES is now an integral part of the EE department and houses the majority of EE laboratories and facilities. The department is currently the largest multidisciplinary department at IIT Kanpur. It covers practically all sub-disciplines in Electrical and Communication Engineering including Power Systems, Power Electronics, Microwaves, RF techniques, Microelectronics, VLSI, Photonics, Control Systems, Robotics, Speech, and Audio Processing, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Wireless Communication, Computer Networks, Future wireless networks like 5G/6G, Wireless sensor networks, and IoT networks.

Condition Monitoring of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors:
Patent Application Pending
Existing single phase direct grid feeding solar PV inverter are based on voltage source inverter topologies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AEC) are used as an energy storage element in these inverters, to limit second harmonic voltage ripple to a low value and to maximize the PV power extraction efficiency (PEE). AECs are popularly used due to their high energy density as compared to other capacitors. However, AEC degrades due to its electrolyte loss with time, which leads to rise in equivalent series resistance (ESR) and fall in capacitance value. Further, the rate of loss in electrolyte increases with temperature. This leads to increase in magnitude of ripples in PV voltage with ageing. This reduces the PEE, which results in less power availability from solar PV system. Increase in voltage ripple could also lead to failure of inverter.
To avoid this, we have developed online techniques to monitor the health of AEC in solar PV inverters. These techniques would provide timely indication of the capacitor (AEC) failure, thereby avoiding downtime of the solar PV system.
High Reliable Solar Inverter
Indian Patent, Appl. No. 2912/MUM/2011
Life of solar PV panels is more than 20 years. However, inverters are less reliable and typically have 3-7 years of life span, beyond which high failure rate of inverters is expected. Failures of power electronic converters are mainly due to the following components: (i) Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (AEC), and (ii) Switching semiconductor devices.
We have proposed a high reliable solar inverter topology. It is based on current source converter, which uses inductors to store energy instead of AEC, thereby increasing the operational life. The proposed inverter is a transformer-less pulse width modulated (PWM) current source inverter. Further, this inverter offers inherent voltage boost feature, which avoids the use of additional dc-dc converter in case of low voltage solar PV string. This improves the conversion efficiency due to single stage conversion.
Dynamic Voltage Restorer
Technology Transferred
Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used in electrical distribution system for power quality improvement. The main application of DVR is for voltage compensation of sensitive loads against voltage disturbances like sag and swell in distribution lines. A 5kVA, IGBT based, digitally controlled single phase DVR is designed and developed. It is capable of regulating the load voltage within 2% of its nominal value (230V) for grid voltage variation of 185V to 265V.

System identification and control of nonlinear systems can be efficiently carried out using intelligent control schemes. In this framework, our research work primarily focus on direct, indirect and model predictive control schemes using T-S fuzzy model, neural and fuzzy-neural networks. These control algorithms are being tested in real-time systems such as 7DOF Power-cube robot manipulator and inverted pendulum - Visual Servoing
Visual-motor coordination, also referred to as hand-eye coordination, in the context of robotics is the process of using visual information to control a robot manipulator to reach a target point in its workspace. The task requires learning the mapping that exists between camera output and desired end-effector location. Biological organisms have demonstrated their superior adaptive capabilities in motion control over present-day robotic systems. Inspired by this fact, various neural network models based on biological systems have been developed for robot control tasks. We have been working on various self-organizing schemes such as Kohonen SOM, Quantum clustering SOM and parametrized SOM to learn this map using minimum learning example. Simultaneously we are extending these approaches to the redundant manipulator system which involves optimization of multiple objective functions. Current research includes development of redundancy preserving SOM network and adaptive critic based visual servo control - Neural Networks
Research in this area focuses on efficient training schemes that would provide faster convergence, better generalization and least computational effort. Research work concerning quantum neural networks is also being carried out; some of these works have generated keen interest among peers - Visual Navigation of a Mobile Robot
Navigation is the process of planning and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another. Navigation in the context of robot includes three basic tasks
(1) object tracking
(2) estimation of depth and angle of object from the robot
(3) obstacle avoidance.
Various intelligent techniques such as TS fuzzy networks are used to develop higher-level sensory-motor coordination algorithms. Besides novel approaches for formation control and coordination of multi-robot systems are being developed - Assistive Robotics - Optimal Hand Exoskeleton
An optimal hand exoskeleton device for the impaired hand of the stroke patients is being developed. Each link in the finger is replicated by a four-bar mechanism which takes care of the instantaneously varying joint centres. The developed exoskeleton will generate flexible human like motion based on biological signals derived from the muscle/brain signals that directly reflect the subjects intension. The developed device can be used for the following cases
(i) To support the fingers of elderly persons who have reduced control over their finger force
(ii) Active hand prosthetics who have lost their fingers
(iii) Rehabilitation of patients with finger injury or neuro-muscular diseases
