Md Mijanoor Rahman , Mohd. Tahir Ismail , Majid Majahar Ali
Road safety is imperative theme because increasing road fatalities deaths in world. Besides road fatalities, traffic jam is increasing, human is frustrated for uncomfortable journey. The roads safety and passengers comfortable of the roadway system are vastly depended on the Car following (CF) and Lane Changing (LC) features of drivers. CF and LC theory describe the driver behavior by following paths in a traffic stream. In this research, researchers have compared to US-101 Next-Generation-Simulation (NGSIM) data with Beijing forth ring road, China freeways real trajectory data by CF and LC models. The CF data has been calibrated with Genetic Algorithm (GA). Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) is generated the LC beginning and finishing points. Findings revealed that the CF parameters as maximum acceleration, minimum deceleration, free speed, minimum headway and stopping distance percentages of Chinese data are 74.71%, 79.95%, 66.57%, 0.018% and 65.65% respectively of NGSIM data. After completing the comparison, researchers have been found out optimization safety and comfortable acceleration-deceleration and LC beginning-finishing points of driver behavior. Here this analysis generates the driver behavior at real traffic network on the express highways of specific two roads US-101 (NGSIM) data and Chinese freeways data. Since NGSIM data is well simulated so road traffic is more safety and comfortable for journey.

L. Rimon , Khairul Safuan Muhammad , S.I. Sulaiman , AM Omar
Robustness of a battery management system (BMS) is a crucial issue especially in critical application such as medical or military. Failure of BMS will lead to more serious safety issues such as overheating, overcharging, over discharging, cell unbalance or even fire and explosion. BMS consists of plenty sensitive electronic components and connected directly to battery cell terminal. Consequently, BMS exposed to high voltage potential across the BMS terminal if a faulty cell occurs in a pack of Li-ion battery. Thus, many protection techniques have been proposed since last three decades to protect the BMS from fault such as open cell voltage fault, faulty cell, internal short circuit etc. This paper presents a review of a BMS focuses on the protection technique proposed by previous researcher.

Design PV system for a small GEO satellite and studying the effect of using different types of propulsion

10.11591/ijaas.v8.i1.pp54-63
A. Lotfy , W. Anis , Joseph V. M. Halim
This paper presents an optimum design of the solar Photo-Voltaic (PV) power system for small Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites using triple junction solar cells and advanced Lithium Ion batteries. The paper applies the proposed system on various propulsion technologies; full chemical, full electrical and hybrid propulsions. This research work studies the capability to fulfil efficiently all the satellite power requirements during both the launching and the on-station phases while reducing the high cost challenge. Since the propulsion type is a key factor for the satellite cost, an economic analysis is demonstrated and investigated in two different strategies. The first scenario fixes the satellite weight and offers the revenue due to the increase in the satellite payload. However, the second scenario evaluates the saving profits due to the reduction in the satellite weight using the same number of satellite transponders. The analytical comparison among the different propulsion techniques shows the superior advantages of using the full electrical satellites.

Transient and steady-state analysis of single switched capacitor converter

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp342-350
Alexander Kushnerov
The paper derives closed form expressions for transient and steady-state operation of a DC-DC converter with single switched capacitor. To this end, the result of each switching is considered as a point in the iterative process, and the function between the points is reconstructed. As opposed to the commonly accepted approach, when each of the topologies is approximated by a first order circuit, the proposed analysis is carried out for second order circuits. This allows obtaining the waveform of output voltage ripple and paves the way to more accurate calculation of equivalent resistance. The obtained analytical expressions were verified by simulations and an excellent agreement between the results was found.

Frequency control of islanded microgrid using fuzzy-PI and autotuned controllers

10.11591/ijaas.v8.i1.pp64-72
Jitender Kaushal , Prasenjit Basak
Any mismatch between generation and demand causes frequency to deviate from nominal value which affects the microgrid operation and reliability of power flow. The load frequency changes abnormally, which is fuzzy in nature, due to low system inertia and unpredictable variation in wind and solar irradiance level. So a frequency controller is needed to solve this problem meeting generation and demand of an islanded microgrid system considering the fuzziness in frequency fluctuation. This paper presents a case study of a hybrid microgrid system consisting of PV system, wind turbine generator set, diesel generator set along with storage facility and equipped with a proposed fuzzy-PI controller for frequency control under islanded condition. This controller shows satisfactory steady-state response. Further, performance of the proposed fuzzy-PI controller is verified with that of an autotuned PI controller to get faster response. The change in frequency is found minimum in case of autotuned PI controller as compared to fuzzy-PI controller. The proposed fuzzy-PI controller is validated based on ITAE (4-7%) which is higher than that attained form autotuned-PI controller. The developed model is simulated in Matlab/Simulink environment in this case study.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp307-318
N. Nabila , Shakir Saat , Y. Yusop , M.S. M Isa , A.A. Basari
Wireless power transfer (WPT), through the transmission of contactless energy, is not only being used for charging batteries in smartphones, but it is also being increasingly used in the field of industrial applications. The capacitive based approach is utilized in this paper because of its ability to transmit power in a metal surrounding environment where the inductive-based approach failed to perform. This work focuses on the coupling study of a rotary CPT application where the power supply is stationary while the load rotates and therefore allows the load to rotate 360o free rotation. The Class E MOSFET power inverter is used here due to its ability to achieve high efficiency compared to other class of converters at high frequency. The prototype of the CPT for rotary application has also been successfully developed with disk plate thickness of 1mm-2mm. Overall, the developed CPT system for rotary application is able to deliver 5.5Watt with 83.33% efficiency. To enhance the power efficiency and ZVS conditions, a self-tuning circuit using phased-locked-loop has been proposed in this paper. The efficiency of the developed system with self-tuning circuit is increased to 97.%.

The paper presents the snake species identification by using natural language processing. It aims to help medical professionals in predicting the snake species for snake-bite treatments based on the patient’s description of the snake. The decision in suitable anti-venom critically depends on the type of snake species. Wrong anti-venom may result in severe morbidity and mortality. This research investigates the human perception and the selection of words in describing a snake based on their visual view. The descriptions were presented in unstructured text, and the NLP processing involves pre-processing, feature extraction and classification. Four machine learning algorithms (naïve Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbour, Support Vector Machine, and Decision Trees J48) were used during training and classification. Our results show that J48 algorithm obtained the highest classification accuracy of 71.6% correct prediction for the NLP-Snake data set with high precision and recall.

Critical evaluation of soft computing methods for maximum power point tracking algorithms of photovoltaic systems

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp548-561
Norazlan Hashim , Zainal Salam
With the proliferation of numerous soft computing (SC)–based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for photovoltaic (PV) systems, determining which algorithm performs better than others is becoming increasingly difficult. This is primarily due to the absence of standardized methods to benchmark their performances using consistent and systematic procedures. Moreover, the module technology, power ratings, and environmental conditions reported by numerous publications all differ. Based on these concerns, this paper presents a critical evaluation of the five most important and recent SC-based MPPTs, namely, genetic algorithm (GA), cuckoo search (CS), particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and evolutionary programming (EP). To perform a fair comparison, the initialization, selection, and stopping criteria for all methods are fixed in similar conditions. Thus, the performance is determined by its respective reproduction process. Simulation tests are performed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The performance of each algorithm is compared and evaluated based on its speed of convergence, accuracy, complexity, and success rate. The results indicate that EP appears to be the most promising and encouraging SC algorithm to be used in MPPT for a PV system under the multimodal partial shading condition.

Statistical analysis of night radiance RH using VIIRS day/night band satellite time series data

10.11591/ijaas.v8.i1.pp26-33
Jyoti U. Devkota
Amount of night lights in an area is a proxy indicator of electricity consumption. This is interlinked to indicators of economic growth such as socio-economic activities, urban population size, physical capital, incidence of poverty. These night lights are generated by renewable and non renewable energy source. In this paper the behavior of night radiance RH data was minutely analyzed over a period of 28 hour; Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (VIIRS DNB) satellite earth observation data were used. These 28 hours and 8936 observations time series data is from 2 September 2018 to 4 September 2018. The behavior of night radiance RH data over 122 time intervals was analyzed using box plots. It was seen that the arithmetic mean of RH data is more sensitive than the arithmetic mean of first order difference of RH data. The first order difference of night radiance RH was regressed on night radiance over 110 intervals of time. The box plot of slope and intercept of this linear regression showed the behavior of these regression parameters over 110 intervals of time. It is seen that the data are more scattered with respect to slope than with respect to intercept.

This paper presents parameters analysis of 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter with hard-switching and soft-switching implementation. Principally, by considering the selected circuit structure of the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter and appropriate pulse width modulation (PWM) switching strategy, the overall converter volume able to be reduced. Specifically, phase-shifted of 120° of each switching signal is applied in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter in order to increase the inductor current ripple frequency, thus the charging and discharging times of the inductor is reduced. Besides, volume of converters is greatly reduced if very high switching frequency is considered. However, it causes increasing of semiconductor losses and consequently the converter efficiency is affected. The results show that the efficiency of 2-level conventional boost converter and 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter are 98.59% and 97.67%, respectively in hard-switching technique, and 99.31% and 98.15%, respectively in soft-switching technique. Therefore, by applying soft-switching technique, switching loss of the semiconductor devices is greatly minimized although high switching frequency is applied. In this study, passive lossless snubber circuit is selected for the soft-switching implementation in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter. Based on the simulation results, the switching loss is approximately eliminated by applying soft-switching technique compared to the hard-switching technique implementation.

Satyabrat Kar , N. Senapati , B. K. Swain
An attempt is made to study an unsteady MHD free convective flow with heat and mass transfer past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium. Presence of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction are taken into account. It is assumed that the plate is moved with uniform velocity in the direction of fluid flow. Viscous dissipation term leads nonlinearity in the governing equations. Applying perturbation technique, the solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. The effect of various parameters such as Rc, Gr, Gc, Sc etc. on velocity, temperature and concentration are shown through graphs.

Droop control technique for equal power sharing in islanded microgrid

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i1.pp530-537
A. W. N. Husna , M. A. Roslan , M. H. Mat
This paper presents a droop control technique for equal power sharing in islanded microgrid. In this study, the proposed controller is based on the frequency droop method, is applied to a robust droop controller in parallel connected inverters. The previous robust droop controller deals with voltage droop method. A modification has been formed against this controller by adding a fuzzy logic controller with the frequency droop method. The only sharing error which is concentrated in this paper is the error in sharing the rated frequency among the inverters. By adapting fuzzy in the robust droop, it tries to eliminate the frequency error, hence that the frequency reference of the inverters keeps maintain at 50Hz. A derivation of generalized models of a single-phase parallel-connected inverter system is shown. The simulation results show that the proposed controller with FLC is able to improve the stability of frequency reference and the performance of power sharing between the inverters under the inductive line impedance.
