Letter of Motivation

I want to pursue Masters Degree in Embedded Systemfrom University of Kaiserslauternto further enhance
my understanding of vast and rapidly changing field of electrical engineering. After carefully considering my
academic and professional background I envision taking up a research career in Embedded Systems. My
research interest is in the field of Electrical motor and Generating systems with focus on Operation of
Governor System of Hydro plants subsystem and I would like to take up advanced courses in this field of
study that how embedded systems are used in field of power plant operations.
My first exposure to Electrical System was with BASIC fundamentals on Flemings and Lenzs law during
my school days. I always have been striving to solve difficult mathematical problems, finding different ways
to solve a problem and visualizing various concepts of science. During my high school I made several
projects having the application of basic principles of controllers in any electrical system where I was
introduced to a lot of applications of micro controllers. The fascination for automation evoked me to take up
an advance course in EmbeddedSystems.
During my undergraduate I undertook various projects to enhance my understanding. In my second year and
third year of under graduation I worked on various seminars on embedded systems which are as
Introductionof Embedded Systems and Its Applications, Speed Control of Three Phase Motors Using
Embedded Systems and Worlds Most Efficient Single Phase Induction Motor. In these projects, I got
an opportunity to utilize my learning of how embedded systems technique and designs are used for
controlling and efficient operation of the motors.
My eight semester project was Speed control of induction motor using PWM and investigating its
potential applications. This project requires me to understand not only about the Modulation Technique but
also the various controllers used for controlling the speed in an effective and efficient manner. Before the
commencement of final year of undergraduate study, I finished my summer internship at BEL kotdwara.
This internship helped me to understand how power supplies are done in efficient manner by using the
automatic controllers.
After my undergraduate I got the opportunity to work at NJHPS( Nathpa Jhakri Hydroelectric Power
Station ) , India's highest single unit generating station with total capacity of 1500MW as an Operation
Engineer . It is a unit of a Government owned PSU called SJVN Ltd. (Joint venture of Government of India
and Government of Himachal Pradesh). Here I contributed in Generation (1500MW) and power system
stability of 420KV Transmission and learn about the embedded system applications which are used insafe
and efficient manner for not only communication, protection, control and generator operations but also for
transmission of any power system.
My preference to join University of Kaiserslauternas a graduate student stems from the fact that this
University has a well-established systems and networking research groups, active student community and its
vicinity to Electrical System industry.
If admitted I plan to carry on with my advanced studies in the fields of Embedded systems primarily
focussed in motorable and automatic devices and its multimedia subsystem. I am confident that the future
holds well for embedded devices and there is still a lot of attention required in this area. My academic and
professional experience very well supports my further studies in this field of study. My experience of
working on Power Plants is appropriate to take up advance study in the field of controllers.
I look forward to joining University of Kaiserslauternas a graduate student at your esteemed department.
