A M essage from Chair man

In the beginning of this academic year, when GTU resurrected the industry

institute interactions in the forms of innovation council and innovation Sankuls, it

abridged expectations of industries and capabilities of students. Today, after hosting

Vadodara Sankul-1 and implementing the responses to shodh yatra and IDPs for its

first academic year, it affirms my decision to welcome innovation council activities

with open arms. The students are grasping the engineering approaches and getting agreat opportunity to observe and be a part of industries.

I would like to thank GTU on behalf of BITS family for providing us with an

opportunity to host Vadodara Innovation Sankul. We, at BITS, are always eager to contribute towards

betterment of education.

Many Congratulations!! Shri Jagdishbhai D PatelChairman,Babaria Institute of Technology ,

A M essage from Co-Chair man (A cademic)

I feel very happy to convey my feelings of all-round satisfaction and fulfill-

ment with the manner in which the innovation system was conceived, organized and

executed with perfection and in totality with the cooperation of all the participantsincluding the students, faculty and industries. It has achieved the primary objectiveof inculcating in the young minds the spirit of creativity and innovation. They have

also learnt a lot in shaping their communication skills during their shodh yatra. Inthe process, many thought-provoking ideas and useful projects have been developed.

It is our mission to provide platform for innovative design and development of prod-

ucts at cost-effective price. If we continue this mission for long, that day would not be far away when

India including Gujarat would be a super power to reckon with.

I congratulate them and give them my hearty compliments for their important contribution to

the engineering fraternity, society and national economy. I express my gratefulness to all the partici-

pants including the office-bearers of the Vadodara Sankul for their cooperation and dedication to thesuccess of this Project.

A M essage from Co-Chair man (I ndustr y)

Innovation is today’s mantra for success. In a world where start-ups aremaking rapid strides within a short period of time and big names of yesteryears

are falling by the way side, the one approach that separates the winners from thelosers is the ability to constantly recreate products, processes and services. Har-

vey Firestone has rightly said that “Capital isn't so important in business. Experi-

ence isn't so important. You can get both these things. What is important is ideas. If

you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to

what you can do with your business and your life." Ideas that revolutionize the

way we think or act, or usher in a change that contributes to the betterment of so-

ciety by fulfilling the needs and aspirations of those at the bottom of the pyramid, or are environment-friendly are creating waves across the world.

It is interesting to note that innovative and creative ideas are coming from the youth. Spontane-

ity and fresh thinking coupled with real time access to information and knowledge has ensured thatyoung people across different cultures, economic strata and professions have been able to contribute

significantly to the innovation revolution sweeping across the globe. Young Indians with their vast tal-

ent are playing a major part in the innovation revolution and in the process are getting upwardly mo-

bile.

I send my best wishes to the GTU Innovation Council and congratulate you on your

efforts to encourage young students from different disciplines to unleash their creative ener-

gies and share their ideas for the betterment of our country.

ELECTRONICS SEQUENTIAL GAS CONVERSION SYSTEM

Name Of the students 7 th sem E.C :

PARTH DHOLAKIYASWETA GODHANI

KRUTIK AMIN

ANKIT PATEL

Abstract:

Electronics Sequential Gas Conversion System is a one year interdisciplinary project involving

following two disciplines:

Electronics & Communication Engineering.

Computer Science & Engineering.

Apart from above two disciplines, Mechanical as well as Automobile concepts are also

involved. Starting with the main concept, our main motive is to introduce an innovative and

cheap Gas conversion system for cars. Now in this conversion system an electronic circuitry

called ECU (Engine/Electronic Control Unit) will be developed by our project partners from

Electronics & Communication Engineering. This ECU has to be reprogrammed, but before that

the vehicle has to be tested under various conditions. Thus the software to be developed

plays its part over here. With the help of the software the vehicle will be tested.

In order to overcome all the above mentioned problems an electronic kit is to be de-

veloped by our project partners of E&C dept. This kit will control the gas flow; hence the aver-

age will be increased as there will be less consumption of gas compared to above mentioned

legacy systems. Moreover the switching of petrol to gas and vice versa depending upon the

speed, acceleration, load and other environmental conditions will be possible through this kit.

This kit will be programmed and attached with the original ECU of the car. It will be capable

to handle and manipulate the engine depending on the driving conditions. But every car dif-

fers according to design, as well as location also matters for functioning of each car. Thus in

order to decide all those parameters the software will be used to analyze and reprogram the

ECU.

Touch Screen Menu Card

Name Of the students 7 th sem E.C :

Komal Shah

Manisha Prasad

Abstract:

The idea behind making this project is to digitalize the menu card. The final product is a

handheld module, by using this device the waiter in a restaurant will take the order electroni-

cally on a touch panel by selecting the appropriate option displayed on a graphical LCD using astylus. This is in contrast to the conventional paper pad.

Once the order is taken from a particular table the order is then placed in the kitchen. this

system will optimize the performance of the restaurant in terms of saving the waiter’s time

and this in turn increase the efficiency of the service.

As suggested by GTU Innovation Council, Shodh yatras’ were organized for B. Pharm. Stu-

dents. The objective of these ‘Shodh Yatras’ was to have close interaction of Academic Institutes and

Pharmaceutical Industries and to identify industry Defined Problems (IDPs). The activity was con-

ducted by UDISHA Club members at BIP.

Project descriptionIn recent years, the interest on

research in library management system

has grown notoriously. Many authors

have made individual proposals of inter-esting topics to be researched around li-brary management systems, but no over-

arching research agenda has yet beenproposed. Based upon a recent research

literature review that we have under-

taken, which includes several real case

studies conducted in order to learn from

library management system experience

within specific colleges & schools, we propose and detail what appears to be a natural library man-

agement system life-cycle. Although a more focused cycle has been mentioned for library manage-

ment system implementation, we propose and define in detail a library management system life-cyclewhich covers other phase preceding and following implementation. Defined cycle may help in future

propose of research agendas around library management system, as well as in the contextualization

of more specific research themes.

Innovative project work by VIT, Kotambi students :

A brief report on Project Work

Our institute was established in 2009. The first admitted batch students are right now in

Semester-VI. These students will have to choose IDP after completion of this current semes-

ter. However, institute constantly encourages faculty members and students to carry out in-

novative projects / experimentation. It gives me pleasure to brief about following projects

carried out by faculty members and students.

Development of Reynold's Apparatus

Prof. Pradipsingh Rana, Prof. Nalin Jaiswal & Prof. Rinkesh Prajapati, faculties of Me-

chanical department have developed an experimental setup of Reynold's Apparatus.

Reynolds's Number is a dimension less number used by engineers to determine type of

Fluid Flow and Testing on scale down models of airplanes, ships etc.

Objectives of experimental setup:

To determine the Reynolds number &hence the type of flow either laminar or turbulent.

To determine upper & lower critical Reynolds numbers and velocities.

The experimental setup consists of an

acrylic tube with one end having bell mouth en-

trance connected to the water tank. Valve is

connected to the tube in which the dye is in-

jected at the mouth from the dye bottle. By

varying the discharge, dye in the form of Threadis observed for the stream lined flow and a

wavy form of dye thread is observed in the

transient stage from stream lined to turbulent

flow and finally the dye is observed in the dif-

fused form when turbulent flow occurs as the

discharge is increased.



Design of Autonomous Robot with multiple frequencies:

Sheth Bhagyesh, Patel Harsh and Patel Parind, students of CE & IT Department have

designed Autonomous Robot with multiple frequencies (27 MHz, 40MHz & 49MHz) workingon the principle of ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR.

Main Features:

The 27 MHz & 49 MHz frequency are used to control the robot movements.

The 40 MHz frequency is used to operate an ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR.Whenever the track will be narrow, the robot will move slowly with less rpm of DC

motor and if the track will be wider, the robot will move faster with more rpm of DCmotor.

The design of above robot was awarded for Best Designing of “NFS ACCELERO SESSION-2” at FOOTPRINTS sponsored by ABB at

M.S. University, Vadodara.

Innovative project work by SVI T students :

Microcontroller based solar tracking and grid automation

Guided by: Asst. Prof. P. R. Gandhi

Name of Students:

Parth Jani

Dhara Shah

ABSTRACT

The electricity scenario in rural India is still alarming even after 63 years of Indian independence.As per the statistics as of now more than 1 lakh villages are still deprived of basic electricity needs.

And due to the staggering requirements of industrial and commercial sector the supply to present ru-

ral connections is also below standard. The availability, quality and the time schedule are the major

issues when it comes to rural electrification. During our statistical research for this project we found

out three main reasons for the dismal performance of our supply system.Less generation compared to the demand.

Transmission capital cost and losses.

Depleting fossil fuel reserves.

The main idea behind undertaking this project was to overcome the two main problems of present

electrical grid in India.

Part 1:The first part of the project deals with utilizing the available SOLAR POWER in the rural plains to

generate electricity using photovoltaic cells as a standalone unit. This solar trapping will be done us-

ing a multi axis, stepper motor driven, solar tracker. The solar tracker will be controlled using MI-

CROCONTROLLER 8052. The multi axis mode is the most efficient way of trapping solar energy

round the year, as it tracks the daily as well as annual motion of the sun. The dual axis mechanism iscarried out using LDR pair comparison circuitry. The trapped energy will be stored in batteries for its

functioning tin the stage 2 of the project. This unit will provide a self- sufficient electrical supply unitthat can power the average needs of the village household. This can be implemented where there is

no electrical supply available at all.

Part 2:The main part of this project is the grid automation. This phase of the project is designed to be imple-

mented in all those rural areas where there is grid supply available but not up to the mark. The micro-

controller used for the solar tracker unit is used here for the function of grid automation encouraging

SMART GRID concept. The grid automation will do intelligent switching between the available grid

supply and the solar energy stored in the batteries. The switching action will take place under three

conditions.

Normal condition supply from grid is given to load.

In case of power outage the battery will supply the trapped solar power to the load.If there is no load requirement the stored energy will be transferred to the grid and net metering

will be implemented.



ELECTRICAL LOAD FORECASTING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL

NETWORK

Project by: Guided by:

Abhishek Desai Prof. P. R Gandhi

Nikhil MenonRavi Unadkat

ABSTRACT:Accurate load forecasting is very essential in power system planning. This will in-

crease the efficiency of electricity generation and distribution while maintaining sufficient

security of operations. Short term load forecasting, which focuses on short period of time, is

important for several operational decisions such as economic scheduling of generating capac-

ity, scheduling of fuel purchases, security assessment and planning for transmission.

Because power generation relies heavily on the electricity demand, the consumers are

also, practically speaking, required to wisely manage their loads to consolidate the power util-ity’s optimal power generation efforts. Thus, accurate and reliable electric load forecastingsystems are absolutely required. To date, there are numerous forecasting methods developed

primarily for electric load forecasting. Some of these forecasting techniques are conventional

and often less favoured. To get a broad picture of the problem at hand, a literature survey was

first conducted to identify possible drawbacks of the existing forecasting techniques including

the conventional one. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) approach for short-term load fore-

casting (STLF) has been recently proposed by a majority of researchers.

Our project is concerned with:Studying the conventional methods such as time series method and artificial neural network and

proving why artificial neural network is more accurate than other methods.We have concentrated on studying not only ANN model in detail but also 3 conventional meth-

ods which include Multiple Regression, Exponential Smoothing and ARMA model.

On understanding how these methods work we will compare the graphs obtained from conven-

tional models with the graphs obtained from ANN model. This comparison is done with the

help of programs that we have developed in Matlab software using the concepts of these

models in mind.

Our aim is to prove that ANN model is better and more accurate than other conventional models.



The next milestones of the Sankul:a. Establish a detailed research methodology for UG students and make changes based on

industry feedbacks, if necessary.

b. Make summer trainings more approachable and if possible mandatory. Documentingthe on-field experiences is a habit that could benefit in industrial life.

c. Continue to host and conduct various training activities to promote creativity and inno-

vation.

d. Propose an inclusion of recognition of individual (student and faculty) contribution to-

wards Innovation Sankul.

e. Exploring the scope of linkages of various projects/innovations within same branch

which can lead to a better or new product/process innovation.
