Sukhwinder Singh Dhillon , Jagdeep Singh Lather , Sanjay Marwaha
This paper present steady state and dynamic (Transient) models of the doubly fed induction generator connected to grid. The steady state model of the DFIAG (doubly fed asynchronous induction generator) has been constructed by referring all the rotor quantities to stator side. With the help of MATLAB programming simulation results are obtained to depict the steady state response of electromechanical torque, rotor speed, stator and rotor currents, stator and rotor fluxes, active and reactive drawn and delivered by Doubly Fed Asynchronous Induction Machine (DFAIM) as it is operating in two modes i.e. generator and motor. The mathematical steady state and transient model of the DFIAM is constructed for three basic reference frames such as rotor, stator and synchronously revolving reference frame using first order deferential equations. The effect of unsaturated and saturated resultant flux on the mutual inductance is also taken into account to deeply understand the dynamic response of the machine. The steady state and dynamic response of the DFAIG are compared for different rotor voltage magnitudes. Also, the effect of variations in mechanical input torque, stator voltage variations are simulated to predict the stator and rotor currents, active and reactive power, electromagnetic torque and rotor speed variations.

Optimal Path Planning using Equilateral Spaces Oriented Visibility Graph Method

10.11591/ijece.v7i6.pp3046-3051
Nor Badariyah Abdul Latip , Rosli Omar , Sanjoy Kumar Debnath
Path planning has been an important aspect in the development of autonomous cars in which path planning is used to find a collision-free path for the car to traverse from a starting point Sp to a target point Tp. The main criteria for a good path planning algorithm include the capability of producing the shortest path with a low computation time. Low computation time makes the autonomous car able to re-plan a new collision-free path to avoid accident. However, the main problem with most path planning methods is their computation time increases as the number of obstacles in the environment increases. In this paper, an algorithm based on visibility graph (VG) is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, which is called Equilateral Space Oriented Visibility Graph (ESOVG), the number of obstacles considered for path planning is reduced by introducing a space in which the obstacles lie. This means the obstacles located outside the space are ignored for path planning. From simulation, the proposed algorithm has an improvement rate of up to 90% when compared to VG. This makes the algorithm is suitable to be applied in real-time and will greatly accelerate the development of autonomous cars in the near future.

Experimental Analysis of Factors Affecting the Power Output of the PV Module

10.11591/ijece.v7i6.pp3190-3197
Arjyadhara Pradhan , Bhagbat Panda
Energy is the driving force in all the sectors as it acts like an index of standard of living or prosperity of the people of the country. However heavy dependence on fossil fuels leads to global warming, hence there is a need for the use of clean, sustainable, and eco friendly form of energy. Among the various types of non-conventional energy solar energy is the fundamental as it is abundant, pollution free and universally available.Even though the main input to the PV system is the solar radiation still there are other factors which affects the efficiency of the pv module. In this paper real time experiment has been conducted to analyze the effect of various factors like irradiance, temperature, and angle of tilt, soiling, shading on the power output of the pv module. Temperature is a negative factor which reduces the efficiency of the module and can be reduced by various cooling arrangements. Presence of dust particles and shading obstructs the incident solar radiations entering the panel and the effect is seen in the iv and pv curve .For better performance solar tracking at maximum power point is suggested to improve the power output of the pv module.

The Competition Between ISPs in Presence of the Net Neutrality

10.11591/ijict.v6i3.pp166-178
Mohamed El Amrani , Hamid Garmani , Mohamed Baslam , Rachid El Ayachi
In this work, we present an economic model of computer networks that describes the in-teraction between Internet Service Providers (ISP ), customers and content provider. The competition between ISP s may be translated by the prices they require and the qualities of service (QoS) they offer. The customer demand for service from an ISP does not only de-pend on the price and quality of service (QoS) of the ISP , but it is influenced by all those offered by its competitors. This behavior has been extensively analyzed using game the-ory as a decision support tool. We interpret a non-neutral network when a content provider privileges ISP s by offering them more bandwidth to ensure proper QoS to support ap-plications that require more data transport capacity (voice over internet protocol (V OIP ) the live video streaming, online gaming). In addition, our work focuses on the price game analysis and QoS between ISP s in two cases: neutral network and non-neutral network. After showing the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium in terms of quality of service, we analyzed the impact of net neutrality on competition between ISP s. We also validated our theoretical study with numerical results, which show that the game has an equilibrium point which depends on all the parameters of the system.

Power Management in Microgrid: Analysis in Grid Connected and Islanded Mode of Operation

10.11591/ijape.v6.i3.pp160-170
Niraj Kumar Choudhary , Soumya Ranjan Mohanty , Ravindra Kumar Singh
This paper presents an investigation about the impact of integrating renewable energy based generation sources on the existing distribution system in terms of load sharing. The study of load sharing among various distributed generators (DGs) and utility grid has been performed for two cases: (a) when equivalent source based DG is connected and (b) when real PV/Fuel cell based DG is properly integrated to the distribution system. The real photovoltaic and fuel cell based DG do not behave as stiff current/voltage source due to disturbances happening either internally in system known as parametric uncertainties or due to external disturbances like weather conditions, load change etc. Further it has been observed with extensive analysis using simulation result, that even though all DGs are of equal capacity in their generation but when the load is either increased or decreased this doesn’t essentially guarantee that all DGs will equally share the active and reactive power demand.

G. Senthilnathan
Many times children on their own are getting away from parent's view at home or on crowded areas like malls and beach. Not in all cases, but rather from time to time it is unpretentious the kids and hopeless things happening moreover. So it is fundamental for each parent to have a dominating reaction for shield the child from missing. However, the couple of GPS based after things are open in the market, they cost high and also needs a month to month charge for GSM advantage. Energize GPS is significant for outside after and not for nearby spots like strip shopping centers or houses. Also, the things accessible in the market are not viewing the improvement of a young wearing it. Our answer utilizes two contraptions for parent and tyke, clear RF correspondence between gadgets, virtual fencing using RF and tyke improvement viewing. The parent and child can wear this device rather than watch since it displays time data to them.

Reduced Rating 30-pulse AC-DC Converter for Power Quality Improvement

10.11591/ijape.v6.i3.pp199-210
Rohollah Abdollahi
This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel polygon connected autotransformer based 30-phase ac-dc converter which supplies Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor Drives (DTCIMD’s) in order to have better power quality conditions at the point of common coupling. The proposed converter output voltage is accomplished via three paralleled 10- pulse ac-dc converters each of them consisting of 5-phase diode bridge rectifier. An autotransformer is designed to supply the rectifiers. The proposed converter requires only three inter-phase transformers in the dc link that leads to the reduced kilovolt ampere rating, size, weight, and cost of the proposed rectifier. The design procedure of magnetics is in a way such that makes it suitable for retrofit applications where a six-pulse diode bridge rectifier is being utilized. The aforementioned structure improves power quality criteria at ac mains and makes them consistent with the IEEE-519 standard requirements for varying loads. Furthermore, near unity power factor is obtained for a wide range of DTCIMD operation. A comparison is made between 6-pulse and proposed converters from view point of power quality indices. Results show that input current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less than 3% for the proposed topology at variable loads.

10.11591/ijai.v6.i4.pp174-184
Sathyavikasini K , Vijaya M S
Muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscular system which deteriorates the skeletal muscles and hinders locomotion. In the finding of genetic disorders such as Muscular dystrophy, the disease is identified based on mutations in the gene sequence. A new model is proposed for classifying the disease accurately using gene sequences, mutated by adopting positional cloning on the reference cDNA sequence. The features of mutated gene sequences for missense, nonsense and silent mutations aims in distinguishing the type of disease and the classifiers are trained with commonly used supervised pattern learning techniques.10-fold cross validation results show that the decision tree algorithm was found to attain the best accuracy of 100%. In summary, this study provides an automatic model to classify the muscular dystrophy disease and shed a new light on predicting the genetic disorder from gene based features through pattern recognition model.

An STATCOM-based Hybrid Shunt Compensation Scheme Capable of Damping Subsynchronous Resonance

10.11591/ijape.v6.i3.pp150-159
F. Reyhaneh Mehdizadeh , Daryoush Nazarpour
The paper presents the potential use of supplemental control of a new economical phase imbalanced shunt compensation concept for damping sub synchronous resonance (SSR) oscillations. In this scheme, the shunt capacitive compensation in one phase is created by using a Single-Phase Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in parallel with a fixed capacitor (Cc), and the other two phases are compensated by fixed shunt capacitor (C). The proposed arrangement would, certainly, be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase STATCOM which have been used/proposed for power swings and SSR damping. SSR mitigation is achieved by introducing a supplemental signal into the control loops of single phase STATCOM. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed structure and supplemental control are demonstrated on a modified version of the IEEE second benchmark model for computer simulation of sub synchronous resonance by means of time domain simulation analysis using the Matlab program.

Photovoltaic Array Modeling under Uniform Irradiation and Partial Shading Condition

10.11591/ijape.v6.i3.pp142-149
Lunde Ardhenta , Wijono Wijono
Wind energy and solar energy are the prime energy sources which are being utilized for renewal energy. The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) array for solar energy is affected by temperature, irradiation, shading, and array configuration. Often, the PV arrays are shadowed, completely or partially, by the passing clouds, neighboring buildings and towers, trees, and utility and telephone poles. Under partially shaded conditions, the PV characteristics are more complex with multiple peaks, hence, it is very important to understand and predict the MPP under PSC in order to extract the maximum possible power. This paper presents the development of PV array simulator for studying the I–V and P–V characteristics of a PV array under a partial shading condition. It can also be used for developing and evaluating new maximum power point tracking techniques, for PV array with partially shaded conditions. It is observed that, for a given number of PV modules, the array configuration significantly affects the maximum available power under partially shaded conditions. This is another aspect to which the developed tool can be applied. The model has been experimentally validated and the usefulness of this research is highlighted with the help of several illustrations.
