Phase-shifted Series Resonant Converter with Zero Voltage Switching Turn-on and Variable Frequency Control

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1184-1192
Mohamed Salem , Awang Jusoh , Nik Rumzi Nik Idris , Tole Sutikno , Yonis.M.Yonis Buswig
This paper presents a phase shifted series resonant converter with step up high frequency transformer to achieve the functions of high output voltage, high power density and wide range of Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS). In this approach, the output voltage is controlled by varying the switching frequency. The controller has been designed to achieve a good stability under different load conditions. The converter will react to the load variation by varying its switching frequency to satisfy the output voltage requirements. Therefore in order to maintain constant output voltage, for light load (50% of the load), the switching frequency will be decreased to meet the desired output, while for the full load (100%) conditions, the switching frequency will be increased. Since the controlled switching frequency is limited by the range between the higher and lower resonant frequencies , the switches can be turned on under ZVS. In this study, a laboratory experiment has been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the system performance.

A Novel Analysis of Improving Displacement Factor Using IVDFC in Distribution Systems

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i3.pp193-202
M. Padmarasan , C.T. Manikandan , N. Karthikeyan , L. Jayaprakash , C.S. Ajin Sekhar
In this paper discuss the new approach for improving displacement factor using an Interline Dynamic Voltage Restoring and Displacement Factor Controlling Device (IVDFC) in a distribution system. An Interline Dynamic Voltage Restorer (IDVR) is perpetually engaged in distribution systems to mitigate voltage sag/swell problems. An IDVR simply consists of numerous dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) sharing a common dc link connecting independent feeders to safe electric power to critical loads. The IDVR is operated that it hold the voltage across the critical load bus terminals constant at system nominal frequency irrespective of the changes occurring in source voltages frequency. While one of the DVRs compensates for the local voltage sag in its feeder, the other DVRs reload the common dc-link voltage. For normal voltage levels, the DVRs should be bypassed. Instead of bypassing the DVRs in normal conditions, this paper proposes operating the DVRs, if needed, to improve the displacement factor (DF) of one of the involved feeders. DF improvement can be achieved via active and reactive power exchange (PQ sharing) between different feeders. To successfully apply this concept, several constraints are addressed throughout the paper. The simulation model for this system is developed using MATLAB which is shown that the voltage across the critical load is regulated completely.

Firefly Algorithm Solution to Improving Threshold Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

10.11591/ijai.v6.i3.pp91-99
Baghouri Mostafa , Chakkor Saad , Hajraoui Abderrahmane
The improvement of the lifetime of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks is a challenge for many researches. One of the most important protocols to achieve this goal is to divide the network into clusters that run by a single node called cluster head and the others have attached. However, all nodes must form the cluster including the nearest nodes to the base station which should be excluded from the clustering process. Furthermore these nodes consume more energy since each member node communicates directly with their cluster head and not with the base station. To eliminate these notes from cluster process, we need to formulate a new energy total of the network which depends on the number of these nodes. In this paper we propose a new technic to optimize this energy which basing on the firefly algorithm. The developed approach allows the boundary of the excluded nodes efficiently. Computer simulation in MATLAB proves the superiority of this method concerning the increase of the lifetime and the number of the received packet messages compared to the others protocols.

Sitti Nur Djannah
Teens today have experienced a shift in morality, thought and behavior patterns because they are influenced by foreign cultures. This is due to lack of progress, especially in the field of transport and telecommunications that are spreading globally at youth culture. Negative attitudes towards adolescent health, such as sexual activity also tend to increase. Turonggo Wiro Budoyo (TWB) Wirobrajan Yogyakarta youth association which is a group of teenagers in the field of traditional dance, jathilan, is identified as a group of young adults at risk of premarital sex. They almost have a close friend (dating) and have intercourse, which is interesting to explore. There are five teenagers who can maintain a healthy sexual behavior. The purpose of research is to know the description of personal factors and external factors that influence adolescents to be able to retain healthy sexual behavior in a risky environment in TWB Yogyakarta youth association. Based on in-depth interviews with five teenagers who declares themselves not dating and a group leader community of TWB, it was shown that an overview that affects teens still behave in a healthy sex despite being in a risky environment is an overview of personal where young people have the ability to hold back emotions, ideals and religiosity attitudes, while the picture of the external consists of a family function where parents do remind norms and religion as well as the ability of adolescents to maintain away from the influence of friends to behave deviate.

Oral Exam System at Teacher Appointments in Turkey

10.11591/ijere.v6i3.5951
Ismail Colak , Selcuk Besir Demir
Oral Exam system is applied all over the world, is recently applied in Turkey. After teacher candidates pass the PESE (General Knowledge, General Skills, Educational Sciences, and TPFK), they receive Oral Exam, and they are appointed with the points they receive from this stage or they are considered as unsuccessful. In other words, while Oral Exams are used as the complementary elements of written and similar other exams in the world, they are used as the sole determinants of appointing teachers in Turkey, which is beyond being complementary. As a matter of fact, in countries where Oral Exams are applied, it is observed that this system is used sometimes for preferential purposes, and the influence of Oral Exams on appointment point is kept low. Another reason for the criticisms of the educational syndicates that are active in Turkey on Oral Exam application is the suspicion of its activating the “preferential treatment” mechanism, because evaluations have subjectivity in them; and the evaluations of the members of the commission about the answers of the candidates are not based on adequate and concrete data

Ive K. Guce
Despite the efforts to confirm the effectiveness of writing in learning mathematics, analysis on common errors in mathematical writings has not received sufficient attention. This study aimed to provide an account of the students’ procedural explanations in terms of their commonly committed errors in mathematical writing. Nine errors in mathematical writing were pre-defined namely, misuse of mathematical terms, misuse of mathematical symbols, incorrect notation, incorrect grammar, incorrect capitalization, no or incorrect punctuation, vague term, incorrect term, and lack of term or phrase. This study used qualitative method of research to keep a record of errors in mathematical writing. Conducted in the College of Education Arts and Sciences of De La Salle Lipa, the study involved twelve BS Mathematics students enrolled in Advanced Calculus 1 class as respondents. Results revealed that the most committed errors done in mathematical writing are incorrect grammar and misuse of mathematical symbols. Certainly, intervention programs on mathematics writing will bring favorable outcomes. Language courses in the students’ curriculum which tackle proper grammar usage may be integrated with writing about mathematics as part of the student activities. Such will provide the students with writing experiences fitted to their discipline.

Novel Symmetric and Asymmetric Multilevel Inverter Topology for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1002-1010
Aparna Prayag , Sanjay Bodkhe
In this paper a new, simple multilevel inverter topology is proposed. Multilevel inverter uses several dc sources and power switches to synthesize desired output voltage waveform. The single phase structure of proposed topology in this paper consists of two dc sources and eight power switches. When the magnitudes of dc sources are equal it operates in symmetric mode, however in order to increase output voltage levels unequal magnitudes of dc sources are selected, then it operates in asymmetric mode. So far, multilevel inverter topologies have been used in motor drive industry to run induction motors. Recently permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are replacing induction motors.  Multilevel inverter is an attracting choice for driving high performance PMSM. However very few studies discuss the performance of multilevel inverter fed PMSM. In this paper simulation of novel symmetric and asymmetric multilevel inverter is carried out to analyze performance of PMSM. The topology is investigated through computer simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.

Joon Sung Park , Ki-Doek Lee
The trend in the motor applications is to reduce weight and volume by increasing the efficiency. Because of the advantage of high efficiency and high density, interest in brushless DC motors and drives is increasing. Unlike DC motors, the brushless DC (BLDC) motors require inverter circuit and position detector. In this paper, we deal with the optimization of the BLDC motor, the inverter, and the position detector. The inverter is optimized to be mounted on the BLDC motor. This paper deals primarily with the design and implementation aspects of the BLDC motor and the integrated drive circuit. Experimental results for the prototype of the BLDC motor with integrated dirve circuit in the laboratory are presented to validate the feasibility.

Self-tuning Position Control for the Linear Long-stroke, Compound Switched Reluctance Conveyance Machine

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1427-1440
J. F. Pan , Weiyu Wang , Zhang Bo , Norbert Cheung , Li Qiu
This paper proposes a long-stroke linear switched reluctance machine (LSRM) with a primary and a secondary translator for industrial conveyance applications. The secondary one can translate according to the primary one so that linear compound motions can be achieved. Considering the fact that either one translator imposes a time-variant, nonlinear disturbance onto the other, the self-tuning position controllers are implemented for the compound machine and experimental results demonstrate that the absolute steady-state error values can fall into 0.03 mm and 0.05 mm for the secondary and primary translator, respectively. A composite absolute precision of less than 0.6 mm can be achieved under the proposed control strategy.

Pulse Width Modulation Based Decentralized Street LED Light Dimming System

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1220-1229
Hussain Attia , Amjad Omar , Maen Takruri , Halah Y. Ali
The high power consumption of conventional street lighting systems, and the consequences on environmental ecosystem due to continuous turning ON of light, have led researchers to seek solutions to this problem. LED light dimming system has been presented in many studies using computerized systems with or without wireless monitoring facility. The demerits of these systems include complexity, high cost and unfixed data transfer speed. This paper proposes to reduce power consumption of street lighting through a decentralized light dimming system that is based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). This is in addition to replacing conventional high power lamps with lower power LED lamps. The dimming control circuit of this system is fixed on each pole and controlled individually resulting in faster and more reliable response. The proposed system uses the available infrastructure and is suitable for small or main streets regardless of the number of light poles. It is also flexible in its coverage distance due to the freedom of motion detector selection. The advantages of using LED lighting on the environment as compared to conventional lighting are explained. Simulations reveal the effectiveness of the proposed system on energy saving and on the environment.
