The CO2 emission level is becoming a serious issue worldwide. The continuous increase in gasoline price forms the essential base of development of electric vehicle (EV) drives. Moreover, economic and environmental issues relate to fabrication and operation of traditional powered vehicles. The basic considerations and development perspectives of EVs are presented in this paper. The development of an efficiently designed motor and drive satisfy the need of efficient characteristics that enable EVs to perform as part of the propulsion unit. The use of digital signal controllers compared with conventional control systems minimizes the motor’s total harmonic distortion, lowers operating temperatures, and produces high efficiency and power factor ratings. This paper addresses the view of EV technology as well its advantages over other technologies.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp479-485
Manohar B S , Banakara Basavaraja
With a long coastal border of about 7500 Kms, India would need an efficient option of hybrid power generation in the coastal region. Abundant availability of wave power and sunlight due to its closeness to equator makes it clear base for power generation from wave generator and the solar power. This paper develops the implementation, which combines both the wave generator and the PV array for a hybrid power delivery controlled using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Engine (ANFIS) controller. The super capacitor is used for higher efficiency compared to batteries. It absorbs power and delivers power fast, where it is more important in wave generation as the power and voltage is not stable. The power delivery improvement in this hybrid system while different controllers like the PI and the ANFIS controller is analysed. There is a higher power delivery improvement when ANFIS controller is chosen.

Speed control of universal motor

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp41-47
Omar A. Imran , Wisam Najm al-din Abed , Ali N. Jbarah
Universal Motors (UM) are normally used for driving portable apparatus such as hand tool machines, vacuum cleaners and most domestic apparatus.  The importance of UM is due to its own advantages such as high starting torque, very powerful in relation to its small size, having a variable speed; and lower cost. So, this paper focus on UM speed control under variable loading conditions. A mathematical model for UM is designed. Two controllers are proposed for controlling the motor speed, output rate controller and output reset controller. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is proposed for tuning the controller’s parameters due to its impact on solving different optimization problems. It possesses fast convergence, minimum algorithm parameters required, lower consecution time and give optimal results without needing large number of iterations. The results are compared and discussed accurately, which show the proposed tuning technique work well and give optimal results for both controllers.

In the majority of the isolated areas, the diesel generator is the principal source of electric power. For these areas, the price of extension of the electrical supply network is prohibitory and the price of fuel increases radically with insulation. The continuous fall in the prices of the generators based on renewable energy and the increasing reliability of these systems led to a greater use of the sources of renewable energy for the generation of electric power in the isolated areas. The diesel generators can incorporate in a network with other sources in base of renewable energies in order to create a new network known as distributed network. More recently intermittent renewable resources such as the wind power were considered as a distributed generation which is seen as being deployed to reduce the total emissions. The distributed generation equipment sets causing electric disturbances result in destabilizing the global network as well as pollutant, for these reason, system D-FACTS comes to answer all the concern of the customers, manufacturers, suppliers and the managers of the distributed network.

This paper presents the comparison between proportional integral (PI) current controller, proportional resonance and harmonic compensator (PR+HC) current controller and modified PR+HC current controller in the inverter system. Power electronic components like inverter and current controller uses in the system produce unwanted harmonics that affect the quality of distribution power network. In this study, development and simulation of current controller using conventional proportional integral (PI), the selective harmonic compensation scheme (PR+HC), and modified version of the latter are considered so to overcome these harmonics injection. Modification is by adding control parameter randomisation technique to the PR+HC scheme. Results compare the three controllers and proved that with modification to the selective harmonic compensation scheme, the overall current THD can be reduced

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the specific absorption rate in SAM phantom exposed to electromagnetic field. A two set dipole antenna operating with 1800MHz and 2600MHz were placed parallel to the z-axis and rotated in clockwise from 0o (vertical) to 180o in steps of 30o to investigate the effect of frequency and polarization. The maximum average of 1gram and 10gram of tissue have been presented to show the effect of SAR in SAM phantom model. A comparison of the mass average SAR in head shows the 1g of SAR at 2600MHz is double to 1800MHz frequency. While for 10g of SAR, slightly different for both 1800MHz and 2600MHz.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp178-194
Benadid Slimane , Abdelkhalek Othmane , Abdallah Ben Abdelkader
This paper presents a combined operation of the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) with Fuel cell system (FC). The proposed system consists of a series inverter, a shunt inverter and a Fuel cell that is connected with the DC link of UPQC through a back boost converter, where it is a SEPIC converter. The mean purpose for using the SEPIC converter is ensuring a constant DC link voltage value and to make the FC system intervening only in the case when the DC link energy is insufficient. Excepting this case, the FC system will be in the standby state. To validate the proposed topology, several sags of source voltage have been applied, at the point of common coupling (PCC).The simulation results from MATLAB/SIMULINK are discussed to verify the proposed topology.

Scalarizing functions in solving multi-objective problem-an evolutionary approach

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i3.pp974-981
D. Vasumathi , Thangavelu S
Scalarizing functions had long been observed for optimization of multi-objective problems. Scalarizing functions on multi-objective problem along with Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm variants had been used to analyze the effect of scalarizing functions. The main purpose is to find the better scalarizing function which can be applied for optimization. The effective solution of the multi-objective problem depends on the various factors like the DE algorithm and the scalarizing functions used. Multi objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) framework in java had been used for performing the analysis. The Obtained results showed that Tchebysheff scalarization function performs better than the other scalarizing functions on various indicator functions used.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp423-432
Mohammed Slimi , Abdelkrim Boucheta , Bousmaha Bouchiba
The power supplied by photovoltaic DC–DC converter is affected by two factors, sun irradiance and temperature. Therefore, to improve the performance of the PV system; a mechanism to track the maximum power point (MPP) is required. Conventional maximum power point tracking approaches, such as observation and perturbation technique present some difficulties in identifying the true MPP. Therefore, intelligent systems including fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are introduced for the maximum power point tracking system (MPPT). In this paper, we present a comparative study of the PV standalone system which is controlled by three techniques. The first one is conventional based on the observation and perturbation technique, the other are intelligent based on fuzzy logic according Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno models. The investigations show that the fuzzy logic controllers provide the best results and Takagi-Sugeno model presents the lower overshoot value.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp93-103
Aderibigbe Israel Adekitan , Adeyinka Adewale , Alashiri Olaitan
The operational performance of a three phase induction motor is impaired by unbalanced voltage supply due to the generation of negative sequence currents, and negative sequence torque which increase motor losses and also trigger torque pulsations. In this study, data mining approach was applied in developing a predictive model using the historical, simulated operational data of a motor for classifying sample motor data under the appropriate type of voltage supply i.e. balanced (BV) and unbalance voltage supply (UB = 1% to 5%). A dataset containing the values of a three phase induction motor’s performance parameter values was analysed using KNIME (Konstanz Information Miner) analytics platform. Three predictive models; the Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree and the Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) Predictors were deployed for comparative analysis. The dataset was divided into two; 70% for model training and learning, and 30% for performance evaluation. The three predictors had accuracies of 98.649%, 100% and 98.649% respectively, and this confirms the suitability of data mining methods for predictive evaluation of a three phase induction motor’s performance using machine learning
