Mechatronics engineering is a word originated in Japan in 1980s to denote the combination of technologies which go together to produce industrial robots. The word, mechatronics, is composed of “mecha” from mechanism and the “tronics” from electronics. In other words, technologies and developed products will be incorporating electronics more and more into mechanism, intimately and

Introduction User Defined Function (UDFS) We have mentioned earlier that one of the strengths of C language is C functions. They are easy to define and use. We have user defined function in every program that we have discussed so far. However, they have been primarily limited to the three functions, namely, main, printf, and

Introduction to Real Power Frequency Control Real or Active power frequency control is one of the important control actions to be performed during normal operation of the system to match the system generation with the continuously changing load, in order to maintain the constancy of system frequency to a tolerable limit of ±5%. A change

By using integral controller to the governor mechanism, the frequency control loop must be characterised by a sufficient degree of stability. Integral of the generators of the control are should divide the total load for optimum economy can be met only by optimal dispatch equation. Frequency error = 0 for a step load charge The

Introduction – Power System In general, each generating plans in any power system may have more than one generating unit. Each of the unit may have identical or different capacities. A number of power plants can be tied together to supply the system load by means of interconnection of the generating stations. Interconnected electric power

Need for Voltage and Frequency Regulation in Power System A power system is said to be well designed if it gives a good quality of reliable supply, which means that the voltage levels must be within reasonable limits. Practically, all the equipment on the power system are designed to operate satisfactorily within voltage regulation variations

Jigs and Fixtures – Locating and Clamping Principles Jigs and fixtures are the devices which are mainly designed for holding, supporting and locating and clamping principles the workpieces and to guide the tools. By using “Jigs and Fixtures”, the cost of manufacture is reduced extensively. These devices are used to produce a repetitive type of

Pin and Button Locators This is one of the common methods of pin locating. A round pin or button is used to support the job firmly and holds it in position. The main difference between pins and buttons is in length. Buttons are generally shorter in length than pins and are generally used for vertical

WELDABILITY OF STAINLESS STEELS The most popular welding process used on Stainless Steel Weldability is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG). It is the most widely used process due to its versatility, high quality and aesthetic appearance of the finished weld. Pure argon is the most popular shielding gas but argon rich mixtures with
