MPPT oscillations minimization in PV system by controlling non-linear dynamics in SEPIC DC-DC converter

10.11591/ijece.v10i6.pp6268-6275
M. Vaigundamoorthi , R. Ramesh , V. Vasan Prabhu , K. Arul Kumar
Solar PV power generation has achieved rapid growth in developing countries which has many merits such as absence of noise, longer life, no pollution, less time for installation, and ease of grid interface. A maximum power point tracking circuit (MPPT) consists of DC-DC power electronics converters that are used to improve the energy attainment from solar PV array. This paper presents a detailed analysis to control of chaos, a non-linear dynamic in SEPIC DC-DC converter interfaced solar PV system, to minimize the oscillations near to MPP. In SEPIC DC-DC converter, the input inductor current is continuous and capable of sweeping the whole I-V curve of a PV module from open circuit voltage (Voc) to short circuit current (Isc) operating points. To trace the true maximum power point and to nullify the oscillations near to MPP, the yield output voltage needs to ensure period-1 operation.

Hiding text in speech signal using K-means, LSB techniques and chaotic maps

10.11591/ijece.v10i6.pp5726-5735
Iman Qays Abduljaleel , Amal Hameed Khaleel
In this paper, a new technique that hides a secret text inside a speech signal without any apparent noise is presented. The technique for encoding the secret text is through first scrambling the text using Chaotic Map, then encoding the scraped text using the Zaslavsky map, and finally hiding the text by breaking the speech signal into blocks and using only half of each block with the LSB, K-means algorithms. The measures (SNR, PSNR, Correlation, SSIM, and MSE) are used on various speech files (“.WAV”), and various secret texts. We observed that the suggested technique offers high security (SNR, PSNR, Correlation, and SSIM) of an encrypted text with low error (MSE). This indicates that the noise level in the speech signal is very low and the speech purity is high, so the suggested method is effective for embedding encrypted text into speech files.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is frequently described as glucose intolerance for pregnancy women. GDM patients currently practice the traditional method (record book) for recording blood glucose readings and keeping track of meal intake. This practice is not efficient and impractical for monitoring glucose level for GDM patients when we compared with mobile health monitoring technologies available today. Although, many applications have been developed for diabetes patients, but we do not found any application appropriate for GDM monitoring. In this study, we describe the design and development of mobile application for GDM monitoring using genetic algorithm that aims to predict recommended meal intake. We developed the mobile application for the GDM patients to maintain their blood glucose level through their meals. We tested the components of the mobile application and found that the prediction algorithm has successfully predicted the next meal intake according to the patient blood glucose levels. We hope this study will encourage research on development of selfmonitoring applications to improve blood glucose control for GDM.

The design of a supervision system based on the external model by structuring the industrial process according to several modes of operation (degraded and normal). The disadvantage of this model is that it describes the industrial process components as functions regardless of their dynamics without going into detail. Hence the interest of the bond graph model to fill the external model limits. The performance of the proposed supervisory system using both models lies in the detection and location of faults for each mode of operation. The bond graph model enriched by the concept of causality and thanks to these structural properties can clearly display the elements of the physical system taking into account their dynamics in normal and abnormal operation. The results of our research have been applied to central air conditioning system; the development of the proposed project has proceeded from the modeling stage to the reconfiguration stage of the system.

One of the most important features in a car is its braking system and engine. The braking system enables the driver to control the speed of the vehicle when the need arises in order to protect the car, driver and other road users from accidents which might be fatal. The performance of the entire car also relies largely on the effective delivery and operation of the car engine whose ability to deliver the required performance is hinged on its temperature. In recent years a variety of IOT based monitoring and control systems have been explored in various areas of modern technology. This Final Year research project proposes the design and development of an IOT based vehicle brake failure and engine overheating system. The proposed system utilizes a network of sensors to monitor the temperature of the car engine, obstacles along the path of the car and the speed of the vehicle. The sensor data retrieved from the monitoring system is used by the control system consisting of a microcontroller to make decisive automatic decisions for the vehicle brake and failure system. A warning system consisting of LCD, Buzzer and LED has also been added into the system to warn the driver regarding the operation of the braking and engine overheating system. Two microcontrollers have been utilized for this research i.e. Arduino Uno for sensor data acquisition and processing and a Raspberry Pi microcontroller for purposes of sending the data wirelessly to a web platform. The web platform developed enables the user to remotely access real-time and past data from the system vehicle brake failure and engine overheating system. A variety of tests were conducted on the system to evaluate its performance whereby 95.4% accuracy was achieved in in terms of the ability of the car to effectively and automatically brake in the presence of obstacles and in terms of speed control. Testing done on the ability of the system to accurately monitor the engine temperature shows that its able to achieve 97.5% accuracy. The IOT system is able to transmit the sensor data retrieved from the system using both WIFI and mobile data whereby an average transmission time of 2.32 s and 4.33 s was recorded for each system respectively.

This work proposes an algorithm aimed at recognizing and accounting Koch bacilli in digital images of microbiological sputum samples stained with auramine, in order to determine the degree of concentration and the state of the disease (tuberculosis). The algorithm was developed with the main objective of maximizing the sensitivity and specificity of the analysis of microbiological samples (recognition and counting of bacilli) according to each preparation method (direct and diluted pellets) in order to reduce the subjectivity of the visual inspection applied by the specialist at the time of analyzing the samples. The proposed algorithm consists of a background removal, an image improvement stage based on consecutive morphological closing operations, a segmentation stage of objects of interest based on thresholdization and a classification stage based on SVM. Each algorithmic stage was developed taking into account the method of preparation of the sample to be processed, being this aspect the main contribution of the proposed work, since it was possible to achieve very satisfactory results in terms of specificity and sensitivity. In this context, sensitivity levels of 91.24% and 93.79% were obtained. Specificity levels of 90.33% and 94.85% were also achieved for direct and diluted pellet methods respectively.

In the current paper, modeling and evaluation of the significant effect of independent variables on the behavior of the electrical response of a multi-crystalline photovoltaic (PV) module using design of experiments (DoE) approach is simulated. The main purpose of this contribution is to evaluate the maximum power response dependence within the indoor conditions of both variations of solar irradiation and surface temperature and checking the pertinent one on the defined response. the DoE approach is used for estimating both main and combined effect of the two independents considered variables. Multiple linear regression was been introduced to justify the relationship between the independent input variables and dependent output variable, also to determine which input factor is the most significant on the output variable. The DoE model can be used for predicting the response variable at different operating condition in a considered domain study. In addition, DoE approach based on statistical tool for analyzing the accuracy of the predictive model, then the significance of coefficients in the predictive model using statistical and graphical analysis. Therefore, an ANOVA Table can summarize the results, detect the parameters influences on responses variations and determine the best predictive model then reproduce the most possible the experimental data.

A non-linear control method for active magnetic bearings with bounded input and output

10.11591/ijpeds.v11.i4.pp2154-2163
Danh Huy Nguyen , Lam Tung Nguyen , Duc Chinh Hoang
Magnetic bearing is well-known for its advantage of reducing friction in rotary machines and is placing conventional bearings where high-speed operations and cleanliness are essential. It can be shown that the AM is a nonlinear system due to the relation between the magnetic force and current/rotor displacement. In this paper, a mathematical model of a 4-DOF AMB supported by four dual electric magnets is presented. The control objective is placed in a view of control input saturation and output limitation that are meaningful aspect in practical applications. Backstepping algorithm based control strategy is then adopted in order to achieve the high dynamic performance of the bearing. The control is designed in such a way that it takes input and output constraints into account by flexibly using hyperbolic tangent and barrier Lyapunov functions. Informative simulation studies are carried out to understand the operations of the machine and evaluate the controller quality.
