Abdullah Alwadie
Induction motors are work-horse of the industry and major element in energy conversion. The replacement of the existing non-adjustable speed drives with the modern variable frequency drives would save considerable amount of electricity. A proper control scheme for variable frequency drives can enhance the efficiency and performance of the drive. This paper attempt to provide a rigorous review of various control schemes for the induction motor control and provides critical analysis and guidelines for the future research work. A detailed study of sensor based control schemes and sensor-less control schemes has been investigated. The operation, advantages, and limitations of the various control schemes are highlighted and different types of optimization techniques have been suggested to overcome the limitations of control techniques

Effect of dust accumulation on the performance of photovoltaic panels in desert countries: A case study for Madinah, Saudi Arabia

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i3.pp1356-1366
Mohamed Benghanem , Abdullah Almohammedi , Mohammed Taukeer Khan , Ahmad Al-Masraqi
The present research shows the effect of dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) modules, which cause losses in their output power. We got 28% of losses in output power at Madinah city during 60 days of dust accumulation. Two ways were used to study the effect of dust on the PV modules of type monocrystalline silicon: the quantitative and the qualitative approaches respectively. A model based on dust density is used to determine the losses of output PV power. We propose to add an important parameter noted dust accumulation coefficient (%/mg.cm-2), in data sheet of PV modules manufacturer. In addition, an intelligent cleaning system is proposed, using the notion of dust density, to start cleaning when an admissible value of power losses is reached. This process allows minimizing the effect of dust.

Weighting Model for Group Decision Support System: A Review

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i3.pp962-974
Hamdani Hamdani , Retantyo Wardoyo , Khabib Mustofa
This paper was conducted a survey of research findings related to decision-making in groups using weighting techniques This paper conducts a survey of research findings related to decision-making in groups using weighting techniques, therefore, a new weighting model can be proposed.. In order to make a decision, this model works based on the weighting parameters, criteria or decision makers (DM) to give ranking preference in the decision results. Weighting could be done objectively or subjectively by statistical calculations. Subjective weighting based on an understanding or expertise of the decision-making process, furthermore, a numerical value was needed to make it objective. The previous weighting models need to be modified for the development of group decision support systems (GDSS). It is required to accommodate the interests of all stakeholders to link the DM relationship. We formed several groups of weighting methods that currently use for the trend of group decision-making (GDM). It showed that the classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models are still dominant in solving GDSS problems, therefore, it was necessary to apply hybrid MCDM with an approach method of stakeholders models and social networks (SN) to improve decision model that has been applied in the previous research.

This paper describes the method to control a hybrid robot whose main task is to climb a pole to place an object on the top of the pole. The hybrid pole-climbing robot considered in this paper uses 2 Planetary PG36 DC-motors as actuators and an external rotary encoder sensor to provide a feedback on the change in robot orientation during the climbing movement. The orientation control of the pole-climbing robot using self-tuning method has been realized by identifying the transfer function of the actuator system under consideration, being followed with the calculation of control parameters using the self-tuning pole-placement method, and furthermore being implemented on the external rotary encoder sensor. Self-tuning pole-placement method has been explored to control the parameters q0, q1, q2, and p1 of the controller. The experiments were done on a movement path in a form of a cylindrical pole. The first experiment was done based one the change in rotation angle of the rotary sensor with the angle values greater than 50˚ in the positive direction, whereas the second experiment was done with the angle values greater than -50˚ in the negative direction. The experiment results show that the control of the robot under consideration could maintain its original position at the time of angle change disturbance and that the robot could climb in a straight direction within the specified tolerance of orientation angle change.

The main objective of this work is to study a photovoltaic/thermoelectric hybrid generator system, ranging from characterisation of thermoelectric (TE) and photovoltaic (PV) modules basic elements of thermal and PV energy conversion into electrical energy through necessary modelling steps. The bibliographic study allows TE and PV generation to be positioned in the current context, by presenting their history and evolution. In some sectors, this technology has already matured. For example, in the space sector, the scientific activity seems to show an acceleration in hybrid systems development in the solar field. This research field remains completely open, as evidenced by the multiplicity of technological solutions implemented. A significant part of this work has been to develop generic energy models of various modules (PV and thermal) for a multi-source generator design, based on experimental tests and existing technologies. In addition, a methodology for sizing optimisation of such generator was proposed by considering surface or volume criteria, number of thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules and temperature gradient.

Activated carbon monoliths (ACMs) with average pore diameters in the meso- and micropore regions were successfully produced from biomass material. ACM synthesis uses chemical activation with KOH and ZnCl2 activating agents. The carbon and activating agent mass ratios were 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:7. Both activating materials produced an ACM with an average pore diameter of 3.2 nm. The specific capacitance, specific surface area, energy and power were as high as 63 F/g, 650 m2/g, and 0.23 Wh/kg for KOH and 73 F/g, and 522 m2/g, and 19 W/kg for ZnCl2 activating agents, respectively. For comparison, we also studied the physical and electrochemical properties of ACM with an average pore size in the micropore range from the same raw material.

Modified AES for Text and Image Encryption

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i3.pp942-948
Heidilyn V. Gamido , Ariel M. Sison , Ruji P. Medina
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most frequently used encryption algorithms. In the study, the Advanced Encryption Standard is modified to address its high computational requirement due to the complex mathematical operations in MixColumns Transformation making the encryption process slow. The modified AES used Bit Permutation to replace the MixColumns Transformation in AES since bit permutation is easy to implement and it does not have any complex mathematical computation. Results of the study show that the modified AES algorithm exhibited increased efficiency due to the faster encryption time and reduced CPU usage. The modified AES algorithm also yielded higher avalanche effect which improved the performance of the algorithm.

Md Hairul Nizam Talib , Z. Ibrahim , Z. Rasin , J.Mat Lazi , M. Azri , N.S.Y. Farah
This paper presents the experimental analysis of simplified rules Fuzzy Logic Speed Controller (FLSC) of Induction Motor drive. The maximum gain of input scaling factor, FLSC is generally limited by the coverage of universe of discoursed (UoD). Thus, to further increase the input gain scaling factor, the outer membership function need to be increased.  This analysis covers various values in the range of UoD values from [-1,1] to [-5,5] for the wide speed range operations from low to rated speed ranges. The FLSC is employed to the indirect Field Oriented Control method fed by a voltage source inverter. Simulation and experimental verification is done by using Matlab/Simulink and dSPACE 1103 controller experimental rigs respectively. Based on the results, speed performance behaviours are improved over the wide speed range operations in term of rise time and setting time. The tuning approached is simple without additional algorithm for faster and more accurate response.

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i3.pp987-996
Rini Nur Hasanah , Yosi Dwi Handari , Soeprapto Soeprapto , Taufik Taufik
This paper describes the design of an LED lamp to be used in a DC house being supplied using a renewable energy source or in a DC Smart Grid. LED lamps are widely known for its low-electricity consumption. The DC house application is becoming more and more popular due to its advantage of using DC generated electricity, for example from a solar photovoltaic system, directly without having to invert it into AC voltage. However, LED needs a driver to activate and control it. Its mounting also needs certain precaution to anticipate the high heat from the LED. An appropriate heatsink is required before activating the LED. The laboratory results indicate that a 3-watt LED bulb lamp can produce an efficiency up to 93.16% with luminous efficacy 82.29 lm/W. These results prove that an LED bulb consumes less energy and can give an optimal brightness.
