Editorial
In this millennium “Knowledge is power” and this is
where HIT gives its students the finest in terms of true knowledge.
Industrial revolution commenced with the steam engine advanced
through era to develop the art of management.
Haldia Institute of Technology offers its students courses from
Engineering to Management making them the just ingredients for a
flourishing organization. We are a one stop solution for a thriving
career building of students who connect us.
HIT was founded in the year 1996 with a sole endeavor of
imparting quality technical education to the students. I am happy
to state that the management has taken keen interest in employing
qualified and experienced faculty and equipping the laboratories
with modern and newest equipments. The library has adequate
number of books where the faculty and students can download
more than thousand technical journal papers. With the resources
available the students are competent enough to carry on project
works on latest topics and get experience and improve their
probability of employment.
We are serving the students to acquire training in software
skills and communication skills and also helping them to
sharpen their talents in English language both in written and
communication, essentials for expressing themselves. Experts
from reputed institutions, industries and R & D establishments
are invited to deliver lectures to students on topics beyond
their regular curriculum to broaden their knowledge in various
subjects. These deeds are helping the students not only in
enhancing their Subject knowledge but also helping them to
augment their employment opportunities. I am happy to say
that the management is encouraging the faculty to improve
their qualifications by deputing them for Ph.D on full or part
time basis and also encouraging them to attend seminars,
conferences, workshops etc.,
The institute is committed in creating an ambience for
nurturing innovation, creativity and excellence in our students.
We strongly support interdisciplinary research and development
for the benefit of Industry and Society. Students are given
abundant opportunities for recreation of their talent via various on
campus activities as sport, tech fests, seminars, etc. We provide the
base for the holistic development of students and not just their
academics with vivid infrastructural facilities. This helps our
students to live up and win various competitions across the
country bringing them into the lime light of blue-chip companies
willing to recruit them. I assure that students will receive our best
and create a strong foundation for their career.
While we have enough reason to celebrate what we have achieved,
we must not be complacent about that. Success must motivate us
to realize more and must not make us oblivious towards our short
comings. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution
of students, teachers and non-teaching staff in bringing laurels to
our institution.
Electricity has become an indispensable part of human life style in
modern times. Right from the first hours in the morning till we go to bed,
in each and every corner of our life we have become almost a slave of
electricity. From the starting point of generation of electricity in power
stations to its use in remote corners of household, there in undisputed
reliance on the use of electrical appliances and equipments in our every
day life.
In this regard, Electrical engineering and its allied branches of
Instrumentation, and Control Engineering have gained immense
importance in recent past. These core branches of engineering are
evergreen, with undisputed demand in the engineering industry. Job
market for these courses will rarely fluctuate and this field promises a
huge scope in India and abroad. This includes the scope for job as well as
research and higher studies.
Despite being some of the oldest streams of engineering, these
programmes have adapted themselves to the changing technology and
industry demands. Electrical engineering and its allied branches are
considered the mother of all streams of engineering and are seen as few of
the most desired and
rewarding areas of
specialization.
This field is an
applied
science
stream that deals
with the study of
electricity,
electronics, control,
instrumentation, and
electromagnetism.
They specialize in
designing
and
building systems and
machines
that
generate,
transmit,
measure, control and use electrical energy essential to modern life.
These disciplines are grounded in sciences and mathematics and provide
intense training in all essential subjects of electrical science such as
electrical circuits, power systems, rotating electrical machines, electrical
measuring instruments, process dynamics and control, sensors and
transducers and automatic control systems.
This News Bulletin is a sincere attempt to portray the salient
achievements of the branches of Electrical Engineering, Electronics &
Instrumentation Engineering, and Instrumentation and Control
Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology. Every effort has been
taken to provide the reader with sufficient and succinct information about
the various activities of these departments. I hope that the reading will be
informative and enjoyable.

Setting up Innovative Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) Strategies for Stator
Winding Fault Detection in Induction Motors
Still an emerging area of research
Dr. Santanu Das, Associate Prof. & Head
Induction motors play one of the most crucial roles in industrial installations mainly due to their appealing
features such as, ruggedness, reasonably small size, easy availability, ability to work under harsh working
environments, and cost effective design of squirrel-cage rotor. In spite of their relatively high reliability,
induction motors when subjected to undesirable stresses during their service conditions may develop internal
faults. Faults in induction motors can occur in any of the three major components of the motor: stator, rotor
or bearings. Survey carried out by the General Electric Company, was reported in an EPRI (Electric Power
Research Institute) publication and covered about 5000 motors, approximately 97% of which were three
phase cage induction motors.. In Figure 1, the occurrence of the individual faults in induction motor is
presented based on the statistical study by EPRI.

Stator winding faults mostly originate from

Mainly three types of insulations are used in a

motor: groundwall, turn, and strand. The
groundwall insulation is the strongest of the three,
since it has to withstand voltages which exceed the
Winding Related
rated voltage of the motor. The turn insulation is
36%
much thinner than the groundwall insulation, and
is typically subjected to between 10 and 100 volts ac. Strand insulation, in some motors, is applied heavily
and also serves as turn insulation. The insulation which is most likely to fail is the turn insulation, because it
is thin yet must withstand voltage spikes, long term aging, thermal cycling, and mechanical vibration. A
significant number of research works have indicated that majority of motor stator winding failures result
from damage of the turn insulation. Deterioration of the winding insulation usually begins as an inter-turn
fault involving a few turns of the winding. The lead time of stator winding fault, which is the time interval
between the fault inception instant and the instant of complete failure of the machine depends upon several
factors, such as, initial number of turns involved in insulation failure, power rating, voltage rating and
environmental condition etc. Lead time of stator winding fault is much shorter than that of other faults such
as, rotor faults and magnetic circuit faults for instance. If the fault is detected at an early stage, the machine
can be put back into service by just re-winding the stator, while, on the other hand, replacing the whole
motor means increased downtime.
Quite a few off-line and on-line techniques are available to detect and diagnose stator winding faults for line
fed low voltage induction motors. Non-intrusive methods which only use voltage and current measurements
from motor terminals and do not require additional sensors, are always preferred in this regard. Motor
current signature analysis (MCSA) which is a completely noninvasive method for fault diagnosis has proven
to be an efficient technique for stator winding fault identification . Analysis of axial flux, vibration
monitoring, Extended Park’s Vector Approach (EPVA), detection of negative sequence current, negative
sequence impedance residual saturation harmonics and multiple reference frame theory are among the
extensively referred stator winding fault detection techniques in literature published recently. Signal
processing tools such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT), Wavelet
transform (WT) and Power Spectral Density (PSD) estimation have been introduced to extract fault related
information from the stator current signals.
For continuous and trouble free operation, induction motors now-a-days demand the use of condition based
maintenance (CBM) strategies in parallel with traditional scheduled and preventive maintenance approaches.
In this era of competitive market and deregulation, it has become more pertinent that scheduled
maintenance and routine monitoring give way to condition based maintenance and efficient fault diagnosis.
Early detection of up-coming abnormalities in motor can considerably minimize the possibilities of
unexpected failure and downtime. Successful implementation of such schemes can save unwanted shutdown
of expensive manufacturing processes employing such induction motors. The recent trend is towards
developing effective stator winding fault detection methods which should be insensitive to unbalance in
supply voltage, intrinsic asymmetry in the motor and load level variations. Because, unbalanced supply
voltage to a motor may produce current signatures which look apparently identical to stator winding interturn fault cases and can possibly put challenge to the fault detection schemes. In such situations, the fault
detection problem becomes even stiffer if fault identification is required under varying operating load levels
of the motor.

Detection of Cardiac Abnormalities from Various Rhythmic Disorders using
Pattern Recognition Methods
Uday Maji, Assistant Prof.
ECG is one of the most important physiological signals that is studied, analyzed and used
for diagnosis purposes. It is commented by WHO (World Health Organization) that
cardiac diseases are the prime cause of death in the world and the probability of death due
to heart related reason will be increased in future. The problem is more intensive in the
third world countries like India because of the scarcity of medical persons, monitoring
systems, medical centers and lack of proper communication and transport systems for the
patients. General awareness regarding the cardiac complexities and related treatments is
also very poor in these areas.
In this scenario an assistive technology for basic diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities may
help the medical persons to detect the irregularity easily at the earliest. Moreover, a
computerized automatic continuous monitoring system can help in intensive cardiac care
units (ICCU) by reducing the time required for interpretation as well as human effort.
Cardiac impulse is generated in Sino-atrial (SA) node and it spreads to the atrioventicular
(AV) node and then down to the ventricles through the Bundle of His. The normal
Electrocardiogram signal thus generated is mainly characterized by few fiducial points as P,
Q, R, S and T. The conduction of this pulse can be delayed or blocked at any point during
this passage which results in abnormalities in the rhythm. Abnormal rhythm may appear at
the atrial muscle, junction region or the ventricular muscle. This causes different type
cardiac abnormality. Abnormality related to atria is called atrial arrhythmia. Atrial
arrhythmia may be Premature Atrial Contractions (PAC), Wandering Atrial Pacemaker,
Multifocal atrial tachycardia, Atrial Flutter (AFL) and Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
Abnormalities related to ventricle are Right Bundle Branch (RBB), Left Bundle Branch
(LBB), Ventricular Flutter, and Ventricular Tachycardia.
Various methodologies have been used for the automatic detection of heart diseases and
various types of beats. Most of the works that have been done on cardiac abnormalities are
based on the ECG data obtained from standard database. ECG signal is non-stationary,
quasi periodic signal. Our target is to develop full proof and robust algorithm based on
non-stationary signal analysis techniques which can work on different type rhythmic
disorders. Intelligent classification system based on neuro-computing techniques can be
used to decision making required for disease identification. Moreover, the technique can
be applied to other signals related to cardiology like PPG etc.

CARBON NANOTUBE FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS (CNTFETS)
Sudipta Bardhan, Assistant Professor
INTRODUCTION
The miniaturization has always a key role in electronic evolution: at each generation the miniaturization
allows to obtain higher speed, lower power dissipation, lower costs, and higher number of gates on chip.
Nowadays, the known devices are very smaller, and a further reduction in size would give rise to tunnel
effects thus degrading the whole performances. Therefore, the scientific community is looking for a new
kind of devices, able to work better at nanometer scale, which is the ultimate limit in miniaturization.

Department of Instrumentation & Control Chapter
Engineering
Carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) are a new kind of molecular device. They are field
effect transistors, using a CNT as channel and are regarded as an important contending device to replace
conventional silicon transistors.
As it is known, the CNTs consist in a hexagonal mesh of carbon atoms wrapped in cylinder shapes, some
time with closing hemispherical meshes on the tips
These tubes could have various radii, lower than two nanometers and since they could be extended also
several millimeters, they have a huge length/diameter ratio, making them one-dimensional structures.
Depending on the mesh torsion denoted as chirality electronic band structure of CNT changes bandgap may
appear making them semiconductors or may not appear making them conductors. Furthermore, the CNT
behavior as semiconductor has an energy gap inversely proportional to their radius.
COMPACT MODEL DESCRIPTION
The model is applicable to a wide range of CNTFETs with diameters varying from 1 to 3 nm and for all
chiralities as long as they are semiconducting. The model uses suitable approximations necessary for
developing any quasi analytical, circuit-compatible compact model (Fig. 1).
The computational procedure to evaluate the drain
current ID and the total channel charge QCNT The
main quantities used in the model are the surface
potential ψS (or control potential) and the specific
voltage ξ S(D) that depends on the surface potential,
the subbands energy level Δ p and the source (drain)
Fermi level µS(D).
The conduction band minima for the first subband
are set to half the nanotube bandgap Δ1 with Δ1 =
0.45/diam (in eV) . The physical parameter diam is
the nanotube diameter (in nm); it is one of the only
three intrinsic parameters of our model, with the
flatband voltage VFB and the TYP parameter (=
+1/−1 for n- or p-type device).
