Design of a Monitoring-combined Siting Scheme for Electric Vehicle Chargers

10.11591/ijece.v8i6.pp5303-5310
Junghoon Lee , Gyung-Leen Park
This paper designs a siting scheme for public electric vehicle chargers based on a genetic algorithm working on charger monitoring streams. The monitoring-combined allocation scheme runs on a long-term basis, iterating the process of collecting data, analyzing demand, and selecting candidates. The analysis of spatio-temporal archives, acquired from the fast chargers currently in operation, focuses on the per-charger hot hour and proximity effect to justify demand balancing in geographic cluster level. It leads to the definition of a fitness function representing the standard deviation of per-charger load and cluster-by-cluster distribution. In a chromosome, each binary integer is associated with a candidate and its static fields include the index to the cluster to which it is belonging. The performance result obtained from a prototype implementation reveals that the proposed scheme can stably distribute the charging load with an addition of a new charger, achieving the reduction of standard deviation from 8.7 % to 4.7 % in the real-world scenario.

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i4.pp1784-1791
P. Bhaskara Prasad , M. Padma Lalitha , B. Sarvesh
Recently, Re-boost seven-level inverter has been developed as an alternative between Photovoltaic system and single-phase load. DC level is increased using a re-boost regulator and its output is rehabilitated into single-phase AC utilizing a seven-level inverter. The re-boost converter is utilized to escalate the voltage gain. The objective of the suggested closed loop Re-boost Seven Level Inverter fed Induction Motor (RBSLIIM) system is to enhance the dynamic response of RBSLIIM using FO-P-I-D controller. Simulink models are developed for P-I and FO-P-I-D controlled RBSLIIM systems. The results of P-I and FO-P-I-D based RBSLIIM systems indicate that the voltage response with FO-P-I-D is superior to P-I controlled RBSLIIM system.

10.11591/ijece.v8i6.pp4079-4088
Aziz Oukennou , Abdelhalim Sandali , Samira Elmoumen
To aid the decision maker, the optimal placement of FACTS in the electrical network is performed through very specific criteria. In this paper, a useful approach is followed; it is based particularly on the use of Kalai-Smorodinsky bargaining solution for choosing the best compromise between the different objectives commonly posed to the network manager such as the cost of production, total transmission losses (Tloss), and voltage stability index (Lindex). In the case of many possible solutions, Voltage Profile Quality is added to select the best one. This approach has offered a balanced solution and has proven its effectiveness in finding the best placement and setting of two types of FACTS namely Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) in the power system. The test case under investigation is IEEE-14 bus system which has been simulated in MATLAB Environment.

J. Josephine Dhivya , M. Ramaswami
Wireless communications deployed in the current epoch claims ceaseless connection among its users thereby leading to the investigation of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) which enables to make use of unallocated spectrum optimally and provides uninterrupted connection. Establishing interminable connectivity during the handoff process in spectrum mobility of CRN is a challenging task. This paper elucidates the optimization of handoff process carried out in CRN by incorporating an intelligent method. This includes fuzzy logic wherein the handoff parameters are processed thereby indicating the need of handoff. The proffered method also comprises of a part of genetic algorithm which yields fitness value for reducing the handoff occurrences and enhancing the overall performance of the system is promoted using cuckoo search which decides the mobile node from which the handoff process has to initiate based on the priority generated. This technique ensures that decision is taken ahead of link failure rather than range failure which are the key point in comparison to the existing system. Results obtained through the simulation are satisfactory in terms of delay, throughput, number of failed handoff and handoffs performed in comparison to the existing fuzzy based handoff process in CRN.

A New Aluminum Pot Line Rectiformer Scheme with Effective Harmonic Suppression Capability

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i4.pp1573-1583
Mahmood Al-Mahari , S. Ali Al-Mawsawi , Fadhel Albasri
The conversion from alternating current to direct current creates harmonics and causes power quality issues especially when large amount of power being converted. To mitigate these issues, conventional schemes for pot line Rectiformers are integrated with passive harmonic filters (PHF), which are either connected directly to the feeding grid or connected to each tertiary winding of the Rectiformer regulating transformer. This paper presents a new pot line Rectiformer scheme that reduces the distortion at the Rectiformer terminal and has better harmonic attenuation capability at the point of common coupling (PCC) by using parallel delta connected (PDC) tertiary winding between two adjacent Rectiformers. The proposed pot line scheme is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. A comparison is made with Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) new 900MW pot line 6 (PL6) scheme in terms of harmonic elimination, capability, operational constrains and cost/space requirements.

Moath Sababha , Mohamed Zohdy
In this paper, a linear phase Low Pass FIR filter is designed and proposed based on Firefly algorithm. We exploit the exploitation and exploration mechanism with a local search routine to improve the convergence and get higher speed computation. The optimum FIR filters are designed based on the Firefly method for which the finite word length is used to represent coefficients. Furthermore, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution algorithm (DE) will be used to show the solution. The results will be compared with PSO and DE methods. Firefly algorithm and Parks–McClellan (PM) algorithm are also compared in this paper thoroughly. The design goal is successfully achieved in all design examples using the Firefly algorithm. They are compared with that obtained by using the PSO and the DE algorithm. For the problem at hand, the simulation results show that the Firefly algorithm outperforms the PSO and DE methods in some of the presented design examples. It also performs well in a portion of the exhibited design examples particularly in speed and quality.

In this research work, a novel compact antenna with rectangular slots is presented for radio frequency identification (RFID) handled applications in the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band that can be manufactured and integrated into RFID readers without difficult. A prototype demonstrating the aforementioned features was constructed and measured. The proposed antenna is fed by 50-Ω coaxial cable and printed on a 1.6mm thick FR4 substrate which has a small size and occupies a volume of 68×66 ×1.6mm3. The patch, the feed-line and ground plane are made of PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) with a thickness of 0.035 mm. Measured results indicate that the proposed antenna has a good impedance matching characteristic ranging from 889 to 939MHz, which covers the USA RFID-band (902–928MHz), the Chinese RFID-operating-band (920–924.5MHz), and the Korea and Japan RFID-band (917–923.5MHz). These results were achieved by the insertion of slots in the compact structure of the antenna. The electromagnetic simulators HFSS (High Frequency structure simulator) and CST (Computer Simulation Technology) microwave studio were used for the design, modeling and simulation of the antenna. The focus of the study of our antenna was on the parameters of return loss, bandwidth, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), input impedance and gain.

Efficiency Performances of Two MPPT Algorithms for PV System With Different Solar Panels Irradiancess

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i4.pp1755-1764
Ali Abdulwahhab Abdulrazzaq , Adnan Hussein Ali
A main source of current renewable energy is solar energy. This source of renewable energy can be converted to electrical energy using solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) earns for maximum energy extractor from PV panels by different irradiance levels. In this paper, overall efficiency of most two popular MPPT techniques utilized in PV applications are analyzed, these  algorithms are Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (INC). An analysis of the results for the algorithms based on MATLAB simulation for various changes in solar irradiance is performed. Results showed that the efficiency of P&O algorithm was higher than that of the INC, but to obtain the same performance for both, more concentrated calculations should be used for INC. In measuring the output power, current and voltage responses, the use of a solar array having constant and variable irradiations was employed as input for the algorithms. The output waveforms which were derived from a simulation run for the purpose of obtaining the algorithms response to changes in solar array irradiations were compared. In general, the consequences of the P&O algorithm are quiet good and adequate. However, there is a need to improve the algorithm so as to satisfy the requirements of face confident timing in addition to its rapid response so as to make its performance better than that of InCond algorithms.

Asma Laribi , Ahlam Guen Bouazza
Since the discovery of 1D nano-object, they are constantly revealing significant physical properties. In this regard, carbon nanotube (CNT) is considered as a promising candidate for application in future nanoelectronics devices like carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET). In this work, the impact of chirality and gate oxide thikness on the electrical characteristics of a CNTFET are studied. The chiralities used are (5, 0), (10, 0), (19, 0), (26, 0), and the gate oxide thikness varied from 1 to 5 nm.This work is based on a numerical simulation program based on surface potential model. CNTFET Modeling is useful for semiconductor industries for nano scale devices manufacturing. From our results we have observed that the output current increases with chirality increasing.We have also highlight the importance of the gate oxide thickness on the drain current that increases when gate oxide is thin.

Reversible Multiple Image Secret Sharing Using Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform

10.11591/ijece.v8i6.pp5004-5013
Ashwaq T. Hashim , Suhad A. Ali
Multiple Secret Image Sharing scheme is a protected approach to transmit more than one secret image over a communication channel. Conventionally, only single secret image is shared over a channel at a time. But as technology grew up, there is a need to share more than one secret image. A fast (r, n) multiple secret image sharing scheme based on discrete haar wavelet transform has been proposed to encrypt m secret images into n noisy images that are stored over different servers. To recover m secret images r noise images are required. Haar Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is employed as reduction process of each secret image to its quarter size (i.e., LL subband). The LL subbands for all secrets have been combined in one secret that will be split later into r subblocks randomly using proposed high pseudo random generator. Finally, a developed (r, n) threshold multiple image secret sharing based one linear system has been used to generate unrelated shares. The experimental results showed that the generated shares are more secure and unrelated. The size reductions of generated shares were 1:4r of the size of each of original image. Also, the randomness test shows a good degree of randomness and security.

The paper intends to select the most economical and reliable expansion alternative of a composite power system to meet the expected future load growth. In order to reduce time computational quantity, a heuristic algorithm is adopted for composite power system reliability evaluation is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on Monte-Carlo simulation method. The reliability indices are estimated for system base case and for the case of adding peaking generation units. The least cost reserve margin for the addition of five 20MW generating units sequentially is determined. Using the proposed algorithm an increment comparison approach used to illustrate the effect of the added units on the interruption and on the annual net gain costs. A flow chart introduced to explain the basic methodology to have an adequate assessment of a power system using Monte Carlo Simulation. The IEEE RTS (24-bus, 38-line) and The Jordanian Electrical Power System (46-bus and 92-line) were examined to illustrate how to make decisions in power system planning and expansions.
