Rasool Esmailzadeh , A. Ajami , M.R. Banaei
Abstract: With the purpose of rein in the high voltage of flexible power systems, renovation and amendment of multi-level structures aimed at acquisition of high quality voltage is certainly required. In this regard, robust topology must be occupied that encompass the maximum output voltage levels along with minimum of switch number, of course, with taking into account of Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV). In this paper, a neoteric high-performance multilevel cascaded inverter is suggested up to the problem of repetitive output levels to be unraveled and also number of output voltage levels to be maximized. It has been constructed by series-connected multilevel inverters blocks and three-level inverter. The simulation results along with experimental results extracted by manufactured prototype have transparently approved high efficiency of proposed inverter as well as its feasibility. Apart from above, new mathematical approach has been presented to calculate and define the DC voltage sources magnitudes in asymmetric converter.

10.11591/ijeecs.v8.i1.pp169-176
Muhammad Zakyizzuddin Bin Rosselan , Shahril Irwan Sulaiman , Ismail Musirin
This study presents the development of Cuckoo Search (CS)-based sizing algorithm for sizing optimization of 5MW large-scale Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (GCPV) systems. CS was used to select the optimal combination of the system components which are PV module and inverter such that the Performance Ratio (PR) is correspondingly optimized. The oversized and undersized of this large-scale GCPV system can give huge impact towards the performanceof this system. Before incorporating the optimization methods, a sizing algorithm for large-scale GCPV systems was developed. Later, an Iterative-based Sizing Algorithm (ISA) was developed to determine the optimal sizing solution which was later used as benchmark for sizing algorithms using optimization methods.The results showed that the CS-based sizing algorithm was unable to found the optimal PR for the system if compared with ISA. However, CS was outperformed ISA in producing the lowest computation time in finding the optimal sizing solution.

Severely occluded face images are the main problem in low performance of face recognition algorithms. In this paper, we apply a new algorithm, a modified version of the least trimmed squares (LTS) with a genetic algorithms introduce by [1]. We focused on the application of modified LTS with genetic algorithm method for face image recognition. This algorithm uses genetic algorithms to construct a basic subset rather than selecting the basic subset randomly. The modification in this method lessens the number of trials to obtain the minimum of the LTS objective function. This method was then applied to two benchmark datasets with clean and occluded query images. The performance of this method was measured by recognition rates. The AT&T dataset and Yale Dataset with different image pixel sizes were used to assess the method in performing face recognition. The query images were contaminated with salt and pepper noise. The modified LTS with GAs method is applied in face recognition framework by using the contaminated images as query image in the context of linear regression. By the end of this study, we can determine this either this method can perform well in dealing with occluded images or vice versa.

Zmnako Mohammed , Hashim Hizam , Chandima Gomes
Study the impacts of lightning-induced transient overvoltage on a hybrid PV-Wind system has been addressed in this work. Overvoltage that is generated due to lightning stroke travels along the system where it can be very harmful to the expensive equipment of the system such as PV models, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, transformers, generator. etc. The simulation model of a system has been completed by using PSCAD/EMTDC software. The system comprises of 2 MW PV farm, battery system, 2.1 MW wind farm and loads which are all connected to the common AC bus and then to the utility grid through an interfacing transformer. Lightning current is generated by using the double exponential function, From the simulation results, when the lightning current is injected to the AC and DC sides of PV system, the transient current and voltage have appeared at different points of the hybrid system. The results were obtained for 8/20 μs and 10/350 μs standards lightning waveforms with current magnitude of 100 kA.

This paper presents shape analysis using Local Standard Deviation (LSD) technique to detect shape defect of the bottle for product quality inspection. The proposed analysis framework includes segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The shape of the bottle was segmented using LSD technique in order to obtain higher enhancement at the low contrast area and low enhancement at the high contrast area. The contrast gain that was applied in Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (ACE) algorithm, was presented inversely proportional to LSD in order to detect and eliminate background noise at the bottle edge. After the segmentation process, the parameters of the bottle shape such as height, width, area, and extent were extracted and applied in classification stage. The rule-based classifier was used to classify the shape of the bottle either good or defect. The offline experimental results exhibit superior segmentation on performance with 100% accuracy for 100 sample images. This shows that the LSD could be an effective technique to monitor the product quality.

Synchronous generators require certain protection against loss of excitation because it can lead to harmful effect to a generator and main grid. Systems of powers are evolving with applications of new techniques to increase reliability and security, at the meantime techniques upgradation is being existed to save financial cost of a different component of power system, which affect protection ways this report discuss the way of loss of excitation protection scheme for an increase in a synchronous generator. It is obvious that when direct axis synchronous reactance has a high value, the coordination among loss of excitation protection and excitation control is not effective. This lead to restricting absorption capability of the reactive power generator. This report also reviews the suitable philosophy for setting the limiters of excitation and discusses its effect on loss of excitation protection and system performance. A protection scheme is developed to allow for utilization of machine capability and power swing blocking is developed to increase the reliability when power swing is stable.

Neurocomputing is widely implemented in time series area, however the nearness of exceptions that for the most part happen in information time arrangement might be hurtful to the information organize preparing. This is on the grounds that the capacity to consequently discover any examples without earlier suppositions and loss of all-inclusive statement. In principle, the most well-known preparing calculation for Backpropagation calculations inclines toward lessening ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) or all the more particularly, the mean squared error (MSE). In any case, this calculation is not completely hearty when exceptions exist in preparing information, and it will prompt false estimate future esteem. Along these lines, in this paper, we show another calculation that control calculations firefly on slightest middle squares estimator (FFA-LMedS) for BFGS quasi-newton backpropagation neural network nonlinear autoregressive moving (BPNN-NARMA) model to lessen the effect of exceptions in time arrangement information. In the in the mean time, the monthly data of Malaysian Roof Materials cost index from January 1980 to December 2012 (base year 1980=100) with various level of exceptions issue is adjusted in this examination. Toward the finish of this paper, it was found that the upgraded BPNN-NARMA models utilizing FFA-LMedS performed extremely well with RMSE values just about zero errors. It is expected that the finding would help the specialists in Malaysian development activities to handle cost indices data accordingly.

Manoj H.M. , Nandakumar A.N.
Although, the area of software engineering has made a remarkable progress in last decade but there is less attention towards the concept of code reusability in this regards.Code reusability is a subset of Software Reusability which is one of the signature topics in software engineering. We review the existing system to find that there is no progress or availability of standard research approach toward code reusability being introduced in last decade. Hence, this paper introduced a predictive framework that is used for optimizing the performance of code reusability. For this purpose, we introduce a case study of near real-time challenge and involved it in our modelling. We apply neural network and Damped-Least square algorithm to perform optimization with a sole target to compute and ensure highest possible reliability. The study outcome of our model exhibits higher reliability and better computational response time.

A Mixed Binary-Real NSGA II Algorithm Ensuring Both Accuracy and Interpretability of a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller

10.11591/ijece.v7i5.pp2614-2626
Faouzi Titel , Khaled Belarbi
In this work, a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller network, called NFC that implements a Mamdani fuzzy inference system is proposed. This network includes neurons able to perform fundamental fuzzy operations. Connections between neurons are weighted through binary and real weights. Then a mixed binary-real Non dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) is used to perform both accuracy and interpretability of the NFC by minimizing two objective functions; one objective relates to the number of rules, for compactness, while the second is the mean square error, for accuracy. In order to preserve interpretability of fuzzy rules during the optimization process, some constraints are imposed. The  approach  is  tested  on  two  control examples:  a single  input  single  output (SISO) system  and  a  multivariable (MIMO) system.
