FPGA Based Selective Harmonic Elimination Technique for Multilevel Inverter

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i1.pp166-173
T. Porselvi , K. Deepa , R. Muthu
Harmonic elimination at the fundamental frequency is very much appropriate for high and medium range of power generation and applications. This paper considers a new technique for selective harmonic elimination (SHE), in which the total harmonic distortion (THD) is minimized when compared with that of the conventional one. With this technique, the harmonics at lower order are eliminated, which are more predominant than the higher ones.Cascaded H-Bridge inverter fed by a single DC is considered which is simulated with the switching angles generated by both the conventional method of SHE and the new method of SHE. The simulated results of the load voltage and the waveforms of the harmonic analysis are shown. The THD values are compared for the two techniques.  The experimental results are also shown for the new technique. The switching angles are generated with the help of field programmable gated array (FPGA) in the hardware. The value of experimental THD of voltage is compared with that of simulated THD and the comparison prove that the results are satisfactory.

Performance of Brushless DC Drive with Single Current Sensor Fed from PV with High Voltage-Gain DC-DC Converter

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i1.pp33-45
G. G RajaSekhar , Basavaraja Banakara
This paper presents the performance of Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor drive with only one positioning sensor instead of three conventional sensors. The three sensor units are replaced with a single stator current sensor unit in DC bus which further reduces the cost increasing the reliability of the drive system. Using a single sensor in stator requires minimum electronic equipment for the purpose of measurement process. This paper evolves the BLDC motor drive fed from PV system. A high voltage-gain DC-DC converter is presented in this paper to step-up the voltage from PV system. The appropriateness of PV fed BLDC motor drive is verified for variable increamental speed with fixed torque and variable decremental speed with fixed torque operating conditions. BLDC motor drive performance is also performed for variable torque with fixed peed working condition. The proposed system and results are developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Tushar Anthwal , Akanksha Chandola , M P Thapliyal
The health of water bodies across the globe is of high concern as the pollution is accelerating rigorously. With the interventions of simple technology, some significant changes could be bought up. Lakes are dying because of high Trophic Index Status which shows the eutrophication level of water bodies. Taking this into account, feed forward back propagation neural network model is used to estimate the Trophic Status Index (TSI) of lakes which could compute the value of TSI with the given parameters; pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, Secchi disk transparency, chlorophyll and total phosphate. Two learning algorithms; Levenberg Marquardt (LM) and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) Quasi Newton were used to train the network, which belongs to different classes. The results were analyzed using mean square error function and further checked for the deviation from actual data. Among both the training algorithm; LM demonstrated better performance with 0.0007 average mean square error for best validation performance and BFGS Quasi Newton shows the average mean square error of 1.07.

Yesim Ozer Ozkan , Nesrin Ozaslan
The aim of this study is to determine the level of achievement of students participating in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 and PISA 2012 tests in Turkey according to questions in the mathematical literacy test. This study is a descriptive survey. Within the scope of the study, the mathematical literacy test items were classified as multiple-choice, complex multiple-choice and constructed response items according to the different question types. The ratio of correct and partially correct and incorrect response given to each question type has been determined. Findings show that the achievements of students differ according to different types of questions. While the question type with the highest success average in the PISA 2003 test was multiple-choice, students got the highest scores from complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2012 test. The questionnaire with the lowest success average was found to be complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2003 test while students got the lowest scores from constructed response items in the PISA 2012 test. According to the constructivist education approach effectuated in 2005-2006 academic year, it is expected to observe a rise in constructed response question type; however, findings of the study reveal that the success of constructed response questions is decreased according to the application years.

Path Optimization Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network with Obstacle

10.11591/ijeecs.v9.i3.pp599-601
J. S. Praveen , Mr. Mayilvahanan
Clustering is used for prolonging the network lifetime in WSN. It groups sensor nodes into different groups and selects a single node as a cluster head (CH) for all the groups. CHS collect the data from consonant clusters and forward the data to base station. In this paper, we proposed path optimization algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network with an obstacle (POAWSNO) that periodically selects the cluster heads according to quality factor. The quality factor is estimated by three criteria including quality of the link, remaining energy and degree of the node. Path optimization technique determines the shortest path during obstacle present in the WSN. POT is used to reduce the hop count and packet delay. The simulation results demonstrate that this approach improves the throughput and reduce the loss of packets and energy consumption in the network using network simulator.

Yohanssen Pratama , Hadi Sutanto Saragi
Cassava is one of the main foods consumed by Indonesian people and main ingredients to make tapioca flour. In North Sumatera there is factory that produced tapioca flour to fulfill consumer demand.  To be able to meet the needs of consumers and seize market share, the product must have a good quality. Product specifications are a reference for product quality and measured with 7 parameters. The seven parameters include whiteness, moisture content, spotness, ash content, thinness, residual screen, pH flour, which meets the Indonesian National Standard. In this research we use two parameters (whiteness and spotness) to determine the quality of cassava and help the factory to maintain their product quality. In here we use blob and edge detection method in image processing to detect spot and after that classified the cassava by using an ID3 algorithm.

An Intelligent Controller Design Approach for MIMO Coupled Tank System

10.11591/ijra.v7i1.pp8-17
Mohd Hafiz Jali , Ahmad Firdaus Azhar , Rozaimi Ghazali , Chong Chee Soon
Nowadays, versatilities of controllers have been developed to control the Coupled Tank System (CTS) such as proportional, integral, derivative (PID), fuzzy, fuzzy PID and neuro network. This paper focused on the control of the pump flow rate, in and out of the tank against the cross-sectional area of the CTS’s tank. The main objective of this paper is to design a CTS by using MATLAB since the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is widely utilized in the control of engineering applications in the industrial. Therefore, the FLC will be utilized to control and improve the performance of the CTS. The conventional PID controller will be applied, which reacts as a benchmark in the performance of the FLC. Parameters such as steady state error, settling time, and maximum overshoot will be part of the simulation results. As a result of the dynamic response executed in the closed-loop environment, it can be concluded that the FLC is capable of performing better than the conventional PID controller.

Harmonic Analysis of Three-phase Fixed Capacitor–thyristor Controlled Reactor under Balanced and Unbalanced Conditions

10.11591/ijra.v7i1.pp67-76
Jayababu Badugu , Y. P.Obulesu , Ch. Saibabu
Three-phase Fixed Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor is widely used for reactive power compensation in power systems because of reduced cost and high reliability.  The problem with FC-TCR is that to generate current harmonics when it is partially conducting. When this harmonic current is interacted with system impedance, voltage waveform will distorted. This harmonic pollution is undesirable in power systems. Therefore, it is important to know the harmonic behaviour of three-phase FC-TCR before they can be used in a power system network. This paper presents the harmonic analysis of three-phase FC-TCR operating under balanced and unbalanced conditions. This analysis is useful to design the harmonic filter to reduce the harmonic pollution in power systems.The proposed work is implemented in MATLAB environment.

An Actor-critic Algorithm Using Cross Evaluation of Value Functions

10.11591/ijra.v7i1.pp39-47
Hui Wang , Peng Zhang , Quan Liu
In order to overcome the difficulty of learning a global optimal policy caused by maximization bias in a continuous space, an actor-critic algorithm for cross evaluation of double value function is proposed. Two independent value functions make the critique closer to the real value function. And the actor is guided by a crossover function to choose its optimal actions. Cross evaluation of value functions avoids the policy jitter phenomenon behaved by greedy optimization methods in continuous spaces. The algorithm is more robust than CACLA learning algorithm, and the experimental results show that our algorithm is smoother and the stability of policy is improved obviously under the condition that the computation remains almost unchanged.

Nilesh Kumar Patel
This study aimed at finding out the effect of Integrated feedback on Classroom climate of secondary school teachers. This research is experimental in nature. Non-equivalent control group design suggested by Stanley and Campbell (1963) was used for the experiment. Integrated feedback was treatment and independent variable, Classroom climate was dependent variable and pre- Classroom climate, and Intelligence were considered as covariates. The sample of the study comprised of 77 secondary school teachers and 220 students studying in secondary classes from purposively selected four schools of Indore city. The data for Classroom climate, Job satisfaction and Intelligence were collected through standardized tools. One-way ANCOVA and 2X2 factorial design ANCOVA were used for data analysis. Hypotheses were tasted at level of significance with α = 0.05. It was found that the treatment has significant effect over Classroom climate when pre- Classroom climate was taken as covariate. The results also shown that Classroom climate was independent of the treatment when Intelligence and pre- Classroom climate were separately considered as covariates. In addition, classroom climate was also found independent of interaction between feedback and intelligence when pre – Classroom climate was taken as covariate.
