Partial shadowing, bypass-diode issues, photovoltaic (PV) module deterioration, and wiring issues are examples of PV failures that have a substantial effect on power production and cause distinct peaks in a PV system's P-V curves. Various PV fault types have been used in the solar cell system in this work. Four types were used: open circuit, line to ground, cross-line to line, and intra-line to line. The impact of various PV system failure types on the system's performance was emphasized in this study. MATLAB is used to display the simulation results for the four approaches (series parallel (SP), total cross tied (TCT), honeycomb (HC), and bridge link (BL)) under various fault scenarios. The current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) curves are used to compare the results for each fault scenario. The open circuit fault between PV (7.8) in the first string and PV (18.19) in the fourth string resulted in a 40% decrease in the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic system compared to its normal value in the SP topology, while in the HC and BL topologies, the current value exceeded the allowable limit. This, in turn, had an impact on the (I-V) characteristics of this topology. The fault's impact was minimal and within the typical bounds of its (I-V) characteristics in the TCT topology.

The classification of handwritten numerals is a vital and challenging task in developing automated systems, including postal address sorting and license plate recognition. The present study elucidates a new methodology for recognizing Kannada handwritten numerals using deep learning ResNet and VGG architecture with transfer learning. The challenge in Kannada handwritten recognition is complicated structural hierarchy and large vocabulary. The major problem in deep neural networks is vanishing gradient, which can lead to degradation in character recognition, and was addressed using our new methodology using ResNet architecture. We apply the proposed ResNet method in various real-world applications and compare it with convolutional neural networks (CNN) architecture, VGG. The experiment was implemented with the Google Colab software version on a self-created dataset, with handwritten Kannada numerals fed as the input to the recognition process. Our proposed method achieved a high accuracy of 99.20% on training samples and a generalization accuracy of 97.5% on test samples, indicating our method's effectiveness in recognizing handwritten Kannada numerals.

Study of asymmetrical-multi level inverter using two switching angle techniques

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2570-2581
Dewan Ashikur Rahaman , Tapan Kumar Chakraborty
An inverter is a device that transforms DC power into AC power. Inverters can be categorized into single-level inverters and multilevel inverters. This paper discusses two controlled strategies-equal step angle and sinusoidal switching angle-for a multilevel inverter, highlighting their effectiveness in harmonic mitigation as the number of voltage levels increases. The simulation software used to generate 3-15 level voltage outputs is PSIM, which allows for the adjustment of switching angles based on both equal step and sinusoidal switching values. Various types of DC sources are connected to H-bridge units, with MOSFET driving signals applied via gating blocks. The study demonstrates a notable reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) when the switching angles are altered in equal and sinusoidal steps. Initially, the output signal generates a square wave without a filter. However, after implementing an LC filter, the output voltage signal more closely resembles an AC signal, and THD values are further reduced. Additionally, the output voltage signal's fast Fourier transform (FFT) is presented.

In this study, a new integrated circuit design called H-bridge multilevel inverter matrix converter (HMIMC), which combines a multilevel inverter (MI), a matrix converter (MC), and an H-bridge circuit, is developed. It aims to generate a high number of output voltage levels that reduce the component count (CC). The MI step is used to control the positive voltage source, where the output of MI is connected to the input of MC. The MC is used to share the positive input voltage due to output phases, depending on the requirements. Afterward, the H-bridge circuit is used in each phase to select the positive or negative output voltage. The main contribution of this design is that the MI does not need to be repeated thrice to produce a three-phase output voltage. A seven-level (7L) and thirteen-level (13L) of proposed circuit is presented, followed by a new algorithm operation that is used for suitable switching control. Afterward, MATLAB simulation is used to check the operation process, output signals of voltage and current, and total harmonic distortion (THD) results. Then hardware circuit of the proposed system is implemented to verify the design. Lastly, a brief comparison in terms of CC is conducted.

Design of a static synchronous compensator for the north-south high-speed railway system

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2369-2380
An Thi Hoai Thu Anh , Tran Hung Cuong
The modern high-speed rail system plays a crucial role in driving the nation’s economic development. The problem of voltage imbalance caused by intermittent load movements is a significant challenge for energy management and distribution. When electric trains are connected to the three-phase grid, power quality degradation occurs, resulting in distortion and imbalance of the three-phase grid current and voltage, which in turn increases operating costs. This paper has proposed a linear control method using a PI controller for a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to directly control the amount of reactive power loss for electric trains. This solution will also bring good and stable voltage quality to electric trains so that electric trains can operate for a long time. The STATCOM device in this paper is a three-phase voltage source converter with a simple structure and can be easily controlled. This is considered a simple and effective solution to balance voltage, improve power factor, and enhance harmonic quality for railway trains, thereby achieving an optimal operating solution. This discussion can be simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software to determine the operation and control steps for STATCOM, thereby improving the quality of the power system. The simulation results of current, voltage, and reactive power response are presented. The simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed algorithm successfully achieves the set goals of ensuring voltage stability and providing the necessary amount of reactive power for the train, thereby improving the quality of the power grid for the North-South high-speed train in Vietnam.

Adaptive fuzzy logic controller based BLDC motor to improve the dynamic performance for electric tractor application

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2186-2196
Ashwini Yenegur , Mungamuri Sasikala
Permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors are widely used in a variety of industrial applications due to their high-power density and ease of regulation. The three-phase power semiconductors bridge is the standard way for controlling these motors. In order to initiate the inverter bridge and switch on the power devices, rotor position sensors must be provided with the correct commutation sequence. The power devices commutate progressively 60 degrees, depending on the location of the rotor. The right speed controllers are necessary for the motor to run as efficiently as possible. PI controllers are commonly employed with permanent magnet motors to achieve speed control in simple manner. Nevertheless, these controllers provide challenges in managing control complexity, including nonlinearity, parametric fluctuations, and load disturbances. PI controllers need accurate linear mathematical models. To overcome this, in this paper adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for controlling the speed of a BLDC motor is presented. When the motor drive system uses the adaptive FLC technology for speed control, it exhibits better dynamic behavior and is more resistant to changes in parameters and load disturbances. The main objectives of this work are to analyze and appraise the functioning of an electric tractor driven by a PMBLDC motor drive using adaptive FLC. The PMBLDC motor drive controllers are simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

Effect on saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on various vegetable oils on droplet combustion characteristic

10.11591/ijape.v14.i4.pp980-987
Dony Perdana , Muhamad Nur Rohman , Mochamad Choifin
Vegetable oils have composed of triglycerides, which one consist of 3 fatty acids combined with glycerol. Each saturated and unsaturated fatty acid has a different effect on burning characteristics. This study aimed to investigated effect of fatty acids at ceiba pentandra and jatropha oils on the flame behavior of the droplet combustion process. The combustion characteristic was observed by an ignited droplet at the junction using a thermocouple and a high-speed camera (120 fps). Results showed that a higher saturated fatty acid content resulted in long-life and steady flames. This is because more oleic and linoleic acid carbon atoms leave the droplet area and react with air. Jatropha oil produces a higher temperature of 780 °C than ceiba pentandra oil. Temperature of a vegetable oils flame is influenced by number of carbon chains, double bond, and heating value. Ceiba pentandra oil has a higher burning rate of 0.185 mm/s than jatropha oil at 0.155 mm/s. The chain content of polyunsaturated fatty acids has significant effect on rate of combustion, which is due to the weak van der Waals dispersion forces, such that heat absorption is more active and energetic. The highest flame height for ceiba pentandra oil is 55.03 mm compared to for jatropha oil it is 46.82 mm. Long-chain unsaturated double bonds and glycerol cause micro-explosions. This micro-explosion caused the shape of the flame to split and expand so that evaporation occurred faster, thus increasing the size of the flame.

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are critical tools designed to detect and prevent unauthorized access and potential network threats. While IDS is well-established in traditional wired networks, deploying them in wireless environments presents distinct challenges, including limited computational resources and complex infrastructure configurations. Packet sniffing and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks also pose significant threats, potentially compromising sensitive data and disrupting communication. Traditional security measures like firewalls may not be sufficient to detect these sophisticated attacks. This paper implements a network intrusion detection system that monitors a computer network to detect Address Resolution Protocol spoofing attacks in real-time. The system comprises three host machines forming the network. Using Kali Linux, a bash script is deployed to monitor the network for signs of address resolution protocol (ARP) poisoning. An email alert system is integrated into the bash script, running in the background as a service for the network administrator. Various ARP spoofing attack scenarios are performed on the network to evaluate the efficiency of the network IDS. Results indicate that deploying IDS as a background service ensures continuous protection against ARP spoofing and poisoning. This is crucial in dynamic network environments where threats may arise unexpectedly.

Asymmetrical nine-level hybrid multilevel inverter design and analysis for electric vehicle applications

10.11591/ijape.v14.i4.pp1023-1034
Gerri Ratnaiah , Ramya Ganesan
A novel type of single-phase hybrid multilevel inverter (HMLI) is proposed in this paper. A hybrid system is made up of a multilevel inverter coupled to an H-bridge unit and which can generate nine-level output. To synthesize an output voltage waveform with nine steps, this setup uses merely seven power switches, two diodes, and two DC supplies. A greater number of steps were achieved in output voltage through suggested circuit with a smaller number of components than other existing multilevel inverter (MLI) topologies. A finer output waveform that is closer to a sinusoidal shape is produced with less total harmonic distortion (THD) because of the greater number of steps in the output voltage. Furthermore, it prolongs the switches' lifetime and lowers the voltage stress across them, increasing reliability. In addition, the system produces fewer switches than necessary, resulting in lower power losses and increased efficiency. This guarantees the suggested system's small size and inexpensive cost. A comparison between the suggested topology and the most current MLI topologies has been conducted to highlight the key components of the proposed topology. The suggested topology has been controlled using three distinct controlling schemes are phase disposition-pulse width modulation (PD-PWM), phase opposition disposition-PWM (POD-PWM), and alternative phase opposition disposition-PWM (APOD-PWM).

Integration of solar energy into the grid is the most important aspect for achieving sustainable energy systems. This paper presents an artificial neural network-based maximum power point tracking (ANN-MPPT) system with battery storage to enhance grid efficiency. The proposed ANN-MPPT is dynamically adapted to the varying irradiance and temperature, hence ensuring optimal power extraction from the photovoltaic system. Excess energy is stored in batteries during high solar radiation and discharged when solar generation is low or grid demand is high, maintaining a stable power supply. This system enhances the grid performance in terms of supporting real-time energy exchange, load balancing, and grid stability. Efficient management of the energy fluctuations ensures reliability even at times of grid failures. Further, integration of ANN-based MPPT with battery storage reduces dependence on non-renewable sources and harmonizes solar energy utilization. It can be achieved through enabling smarter energy management and thus contributing to the resilience and efficiency of a grid for better integration of renewable energies. The proposed system can tolerate fluctuating grid demands apart from supporting the features of smart grid, hence viable for increasing stability and sustainability in the grid.

Optimize the position of the distributed generator and capacitor bank in the distributed grid to minimize the generation cost

10.11591/ijape.v14.i4.pp970-979
Ngoc An Luu , Dinh Chung Phan
In this paper, we focus on determining the optimal position and size of multi-distributed generators and capacitor banks to minimize the generation cost of a distributed grid. The optimal position and size of distributed generators and capacitor banks are determined using a hybrid of conventional loss sensitivity factor and an improved one. The proposed algorithm has two stages. For each distributed generator, we prioritize its position and size. After that, we find the optimal position and size of the capacitor banks corresponding to this distributed generator installation to minimize the power loss. After considering all distributed generators, the optimal number, position, and size of the distributed generators and capacitor banks are determined based on the minimum generation cost value. This idea is developed in MATLAB and verified via sample distributed grids, including the IEEE-69 bus and IEEE-85 bus. The verifying results are evaluated and analyzed. By comparing those results to those of other methods, the performance of the newly introduced method is proven.

This work proposes a solar photovoltaic (PV)-powered, modified bridgeless Ćuk converter tailored for electric vehicle applications. It overcomes limitations such as high ripple, reduced power density, significant switching losses, and complex circuit structures in traditional designs. The system integrates a boost converter with a bridgeless Ćuk topology to ensure a reliable and efficient direct current (DC) power output. Performance evaluation includes sensor-based and sensorless speed control techniques-pulse width modulation (PWM), proportional integral derivative (PID), back electromotive force (EMF), and spider controllers-under both no-load and full-load scenarios. Key parameters such as rise time, overshoot, settling time, and steady-state error are analyzed. MATLAB/Simulink simulations indicate that the spider controller delivers superior dynamic behavior and stability. A 48 W, 1500 rpm hardware prototype confirms the simulation outcomes, demonstrating the practical viability and effectiveness of the proposed converter.

PD characteristics of polymer insulation for inverted-fed drives under sine and square waveforms

10.11591/ijape.v14.i4.pp893-902
S. Narasimha Rao , Elanseralathan Kasinathan , Ramanujam Sarathi
In recent years, adjustable speed drives power by power electronic converters have caused insulation failure in the electrical motors with stator windings. The repeating impulse voltages produced by IGBTs created insulation reliability problems in the stator winding. Overvoltage can cause partial discharge (PD), which can rapidly result in insulation system failure. To address this issue, IEC standards and technical specifications (TS) necessitate that a PD test on the motor insulation system is done at sinusoidal and square voltages. The PD characteristics obtained are used to evaluate insulation performance, enhancing insulation design. This work focuses on the PD characterization of twisted pair samples using high frequency sine and square waveforms at room temperature. The PD characteristics were investigated at 50 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.4 kHz, and 5 kHz. The result shows that there are fewer PD events with lower PD magnitudes and shorter delay times at higher frequencies. Further, at different temperatures of 30 °C, 60 °C, and 90 °C, the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) of twisted pair insulation was investigated using high-frequency sine and square waveforms. The results show that the corona inception voltage (CIV) (kV) decreases as ambient temperature increases. Furthermore, the conditions for PD occurrence in the insulation system were analyzed at higher switching frequencies. The electric field distribution of twisted pairs with a 0 mm air gap was modeled from 50 Hz to 5 kHz switching frequency using COMSOL software.
