This paper presents a diagnostic analytics of harmonic source signature recognition of rectifier and inverter-based load in the distribution system with single-point measurement at the point of common coupling by utilizing Periodogram. Signature recognition pattern is used to distinguish the harmonic sources accurately by obtaining the distribution of harmonic and interharmonic components and the harmonic contribution changes.  This is achieved by using the significant signature recognition of harmonic producing load obtained from analysing the harmonic contribution changes. Based on voltage and current signature analysis, the distribution of harmonic components can be divided into three zones. To distinguish between the harmonic producing loads, the harmonic components are observed at these zones to get the signature recognition pattern. The result demonstrate that periodogram technique accurately diagnose and distinguish the type of harmonic sources in the distribution system.

M. Khanfara , R. El Bachtiri , M. Boussetta , K. El Hammoumi
In this paper, a three-phase multilevel cascaded H-bridge inverter is developed for injecting renewable power energy into the grid through a filter. The main contribution of this work is to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) by using a passive filter and to enhance the output voltages by adopting a multicarrier pulse width modulation (MCPWM). The simulation results affirm a good performance of the proposed multicarrier PWM control using a three-phase five-level inverter. The proposed inverter is tested as well as the THD and the spectral analysis of the output voltage are calculated using Simulink/Matlab software.

A Novel Nonlinear Control of Boost Converter using CCM Phase Plane

10.11591/ijece.v8i6.pp4282-4291
Eko Setiawan , Ichijo Hodaka
Boost converter is one of fundamental DC-DC converters and used to deliver electric power with boosted voltage in many electrical systems. Several control strategies have been applied to control a boost converter delivering a constant output voltage. Generally, boost converter works in two modes; one is called a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). Many researches use CCM model in the controller design, but they never ensure that the controller always works in CCM. This paper proposes novel nonlinear controller of boost converter designed using the modification of flow in phase plane. The proposed controller guarantees that the boost converter works only in CCM region. The simulation result confirms that our proposed controller brings the state variables from any initial point to a desired operating point successfully.

Ahmed Jedidi
Multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) has become an attractive solution for improving the performance of single chip in objective to satisfy the performance growing exponentially of the computer applications as multimedia applications. However, the communication between the different processors’ cores presents the first challenge front the high performance of MPSoC. Besides, Network on Chip (NoC) is among the most prominent solution for handling the on-chip communication. Besides, NoC potential limited by physical limitation, power consumption, latency and bandwidth in the both case: increasing data exchange or scalability of Multicores. Optical communication offers a wider bandwidth and lower power consumption, based on, a new technology named Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) has been introduced in MPSoC. However, ONoC components induce the crosstalk noise in the network on both forms intra/inter crosstalk. This serious problem deteriorates the quality of signals and degrades network performance. As a result, detection and monitoring the impairments becoming a challenge to keep the performance in the ONoC. In this article, we propose a new system to detect and monitor the crosstalk noise in ONoC. Particularly, we present an analytic model of intra/inter crosstalk at the optical devices. Then, we evaluate these impairments in objective to present the motivation to detect and monitor crosstalk in ONoC, in which our system has the capability to detect, to localize, and to monitor the crosstalk noise in the whole network. This system offers high reliability, scalability and efficiency with time running time less than 20 ms.

Miniature Aerial Vehicles with four rotors is called Quad-rotor MAV, popularly used in aspects of life such military, civilian products, processes and remote sensor, etc. In this paper, the authors present the suitable structure of control system for the Quad-rotor MAV. The first, the Six Degrees of Freedom (6 DOF) of the Quad-rotor MAV dynamic model is built. After, the control structure with the single loop is built. But in the single-loop system, only four control signals of Quad-rotor MAV can be controlled, so the Quad-rotor MAV can be reached the height only and keep the stability. However, it is important to note that we have to well-known the orbit of the Quad-rotor MAV flight; the Quad-rotor MAV must fly point-to-point exactly, so the six coordinate variables must be controlled. So, the double loop control structure system is proposed to do that. Finally, the simulation results analysis and the experimental results of the real model are explored to prove the effectiveness of the proposed structure.

10.11591/ijece.v8i6.pp5278-5291
Abdellatif Lasbahani , Mostafa Chhiba , Abdelmoumen Tabyaoui
Recently, many research studies have suggested the integration of safety engineering at an early stage of modeling and system development using Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). This concept consists in deploying the UML (Unified Modeling Language) standard as aprincipal metamodel for the abstractions of different systems. To our knowledge, most of this work has focused on integrating security requirements after the implementation phase without taking them into account when designing systems. In this work, we focused our efforts on non-functional aspects such as the business logic layer, data flow monitoring, and high-quality service delivery. Practically, we have proposed a new UML profile for security integration and code generation for the Java platform. Therefore, the security properties will be described by a UML profile and the OCL language to verify the requirements of confidentiality, authorization, availability, data integrity, and data encryption. Finally, the source code such as the application security configuration, the method signatures and their bodies, the persistent entities and the security controllers generated from sequence diagram of system’s internal behavior after its extension with this profile and applying a set of transformations.

In this paper, we present a simple design of a T-ring resonator sensor for characterizing solid detection.  The sensor is based on a planar microwave ring resonator and operating at 4.2 GHz frequency with a high-quality factor and sensitivity. An optimization of the T-ring geometry and materials were made to achieve high sensitivity for microwave material characterizations. This technique can determine the properties of solid materials from range of 2 GHz to 12 GHz frequencies. Techniques of current microwave resonator are usually measuring the properties of material at frequencies with a wide range; however, their accuracy is limited. Contrary to techniques that have a narrowband which is normally measuring the properties of materials to a high-accuracy with limitation to only a single frequency. This sensor has a capability of measuring the properties of materials at frequencies of wide range to a high-accuracy. A good agreement is achieved between the simulated results of the tested materials and the values of the manufacturer’s Data sheets. An empirical equation has been developed accordingly for the simulated results of the tested materials. Various standard materials have been tested for validation and verification of the sensor sensitivity. The proposed concept enables the detection and characterization of materials and it has miniaturized the size with low cost, reusable, reliable, and ease of design fabrication with using a small size of tested sample. It is inspiring a broader of interest in developing microwave planar sensors and improving their applications in food industry, quality control and biomedical materials.

Recent power systems necessitate for maintaining a safe voltage stability as the number of problems such as contingencies and reactive power insufficiency are increasing. In this paper, installation and sizing of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices have been introduced for solving the voltage stability problems under contingencies. The FACTS device to be used is Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). Besides improving the voltage magnitude at all buses to a desired level, installation of TCSC at proper locations can minimize total transmission losses of the system. To conduct the sizing task, the newly developed Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) has been implemented as the engine for optimization. Through experimentation, the results proved that the proposed placement and sizing technique has successfully mitigated the voltage stability problems. In addition, the computation time for FPA’s convergence was tolerable with optimum results.
