H.H. Goh , Azuwien Aida , S.S. Lee , S.Y. Sim , K.C. Goh
This paper deals with controlling a grid-connected dual-active bridge multilevel inverter for renewable energy integration. The concept of direct power control is integrated with model predictive control algorithm, which is termed as predictive direct power control, to control the real and reactive power injected into the power grid. The proposed multilevel inverter allows more options of feasible voltage vectors for switching vector selections in order to generate multilevel outputs, and thereby obtaining high power quality in the power grid. By using the predictive direct power control, simulation results show that the proposed multilevel inverter produces lower power ripple and manage to achieve currents with low total harmonic distortion which are well within the IEEE standard. The modeling and simulation of the system are implemented and validated by MATLAB Simulink software.

With the emergence of virtualization and cloud computing technologies, several services are housed on virtualization platform. Virtualization is the technology that many cloud service providers rely on for efficient management and coordination of the resource pool. As essential services are also housed on cloud platform, it is necessary to ensure continuous availability by implementing all necessary measures.  Windows Active Directory is one such service that Microsoft developed for Windows domain networks. It is included in Windows Server operating systems as a set of processes and services for authentication and authorization of users and computers in a Windows domain type network. The service is required to run continuously without downtime. As a result, there are chances of accumulation of errors or garbage leading to software aging which in turn may lead to system failure and associated consequences. This results in software aging. In this work, software aging patterns of Windows active directory service is studied. Software aging of active directory needs to be predicted properly so that rejuvenation can be triggered to ensure continuous service delivery. In order to predict the accurate time, a model that uses time series forecasting technique is built.

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i4.pp359-367
Amaresh Sahu , Sabyasachi Pattnaik
Computational time is high for Multilayer perceptron (MLP) trained with back propagation learning algorithm (BP) also the complexity of the network increases with the number of layers and number of nodes in layers. In contrast to MLP, functional link artificial neural network (FLANN) has less architectural complexity, easier to train, and gives better result in the classification problems. The paper proposed an evolutionary functional link artificial neural network (EFLANN) using genetic algorithm (GA) by eliminating features having little or no predictive information. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used as learning tool for solving the problem of classification in data mining.  EFLANN overcomes the non-linearity nature of problems by using the functionally expanded selected features, which is commonly encountered in single layer neural networks. The model is empirically compared to MLP, FLANN gradient descent learning algorithm, Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Hybrid Functional Link Neural Network (HFLANN) . The results proved that the proposed model outperforms the other models.

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i4.pp283-292
J.P. Kharat
Network traffic as it is VBR in nature exhibits strong correlations which make it suitable for prediction. Real-time forecasting of network traffic load accurately and in a computationally efficient manner is the key element of proactive network management and congestion control. This paper comments on the MPEG-4 video traffic predictions evaluated by different types of neural network architectures and compares the performance of the same in terms of mean square error for the same video frames. For that three types of neural architectures are used namely Feed forward, Cascaded Feed forward and Time Delay Neural Network. The results show that cascade feed forward network produces minimum error as compared to other networks. This paper also compares the results of traditional prediction method of averaging of frames for future frame prediction with neural based methods. The experimental results show that nonlinear prediction based on NNs is better suited for traffic prediction purposes than linear forecasting models.

B.Murali Mohan , M.Pala Prasad Reddy , M. Lakshminarayana
In this paper, a straightforward strategy for tracking the maximum power (MP) accessible in the wind energy conversion system for dc microgrid is proposed. A three-phase diode bridge rectifier alongside a dc-dc converter has been utilized between the terminals of wind-driven induction generator and dc microgrid. Induction generator is being worked in self-energized mode with excitation capacitor at stator. The output current i.e., dc grid current act as a control variable to track the MP in the proposed WECS. In this manner, the proposed calculation for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is autonomous of the machine and wind-turbine parameters. Further, a technique has been created for deciding the obligation proportion of the dc-dc converter for working the proposed system in MPPT condition utilizing wind turbine qualities, relentless state proportionate circuit of prompting generator and power balance in power converters. Circuit straightforwardness and basic control calculation are the significant points of interest of the proposed setup for supplying energy to the dc microgrid from WECS. The fruitful working of the proposed calculation for Fuzzy logic based  MPPT has been shown with broad exploratory results alongside the simulated values.

Review of Machine Vision Based Insulator Inspection Systems for Overhead Power Distribution System

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i4.pp303-312
P. Surya Prasad , B. Prabhakara Rao
The necessity to have reliable and quality power distribution is increasing, and hence there is great scope for research on automation of distribution system. There are signs of increased research in the work on condition monitoring of insulators during the last few decades. The possible failures can be predicted before they actually occur by using the condition monitoring of cables or any electrical equipment on-line. Those assets such as towers, conductors and insulators which are on the threshold of failure have to be replaced or repaired, so that forced outages reduce. Traditionally the workers who inspect these lines check them in close proximity by going for foot-patrolling and pole-climbing. With an incredible expansion of power distribution network even to remote areas, previously mentioned methods do not seem to be viable. In developed countries aerial patrolling has been adopted to monitor the insulators as an alternative. The development of an efficient method of condition monitoring by using image processing followed by machine learning techniques is found to be a suitable method and thus emerging as a feasible option for real-time implementation. This review paper covers overall aspects of automatic detection of defects of insulator systems of electric power lines and classification into different classes by using vision-based techniques.

Dynamic Key Matrix of Hill Cipher Using Genetic Algorithm

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i4.pp313-318
Andysah Putera Utama Siahaan
The matrix in Hill Cipher was designed to perform encryption and decryption. Every column and row must be inserted by integer numbers. But, not any key that can be given to the matrix used for the process. The wrong determinant result cannot be used in the process because it produces the incorrect plaintext when doing the decryption after the encryption. Genetic algorithms offer the optimized way to determine the key used for encryption and decryption on the Hill Cipher. By determining the evaluation function in the genetic algorithm, the key that fits the composition will be obtained. By implementing this algorithm, the search of the key on the Hill Cipher will be easily done without spending too much time. Genetic algorithms do well if it is combined with Hill Cipher.

Initially a theory, today fuzzy logic has become an operational technique. Used alongside other advanced control techniques, it is making a discrete but appreciated appearance in various electric systems. In the majority of present-day applications, fuzzy logic allows many kinds of designer and operator qualitative knowledge in electrical automation to be taken into account. Fuzzy logic began to interest the media at the beginning of the nineties. The numerous applications in electrical and electronic household appliances, particularly in Japan, were mainly responsible for such interest. Washing machines not requiring adjustment, camcorders with Steadyshot (TM) image stabilization and many other innovations brought the term “fuzzy logic” to the attention of a wide public.
