The target of the Indonesian government in 2025 is increasing the use of renewable energy up to 23%, one part of potential renewable energy in Indonesia is biofuel. Biofuel requires raw materials of plant or animal oil with or without catalyst, it does not require the raw material of ethanol or methanol. The product is similar to gasoline and diesel that came from crude oil. Potential oil-producing plants in Indonesia are Palm Oil and Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.). The process of making biofuel from this material is done by heating the reactor or furnace with temperature range of 350° C - 500° C. To reach the stability of furnace temperature, it requires temperature control systems and one of them is PID. Arduino microcontroller is an open source and user friendly platform for hardware and software. The control system that designed by using arduino is capable to control the furnace temperature from 200° C to 400° C and it is using a 6000 watt heater. The best system response is achieved when Kp = 15, Ki = 15 and Kd = 1. With these parameter values, the system has the lowest overshoot response of 16%, so it is safe for biofuel furnace, even though the rise time value is 146 s, settling time of 429 and steady state error is equal to 2.87%.

Solar panel is a solar energy converter to electrical energy. On solar tracker, there is a controller which sets the movement of solar panel such that it is perpendicular with solar rays. Previous research had designed Type 2 Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control (T2FSMC) controller to control the position of solar panel. However, there was trial and error process to determine gain scale factor so the development of optimization method is needed. This paper aims to modify gain scale factor using Firefly algorithm to increase performance of system. The simulation shows that T2FSMC Firefly has better performance than T2FSMC. T2FSMC Firefly shows the increase of performance on rise time, settling time, and integral time absolute error.

Satellite communication requires reliable estimates of the channel characteristics, especially with the future use of higher frequencies. Regardless of the rain rate, the shape of rain drop size distribution (DSD) start to considerably effect the specific attenuation. In this study DSDs are studied using ground-based two-dimensional video disdrometer measurements taken from Johor, Malaysia as well as two similar datasets from Gan and Manus, two equatorial islands. Integral rain parameters are studied to explain DSD variations across the Southeast Asia region. Slightly higher raindrop concentrations and larger diameters were observed in Johor than in Gan or Manus, which is due to Johor being affected by not only oceanic rain- fall but land rainfall as well. The measured rainfall was classified into convective and stratiform precipitation types; the results showed that the Southeast Asia region is dominated by convective rain in terms of accumulated rainfall amount, but stratiform rain occurred more frequently. Further, seasonal variations observed in Johor were insignificant and the DSD variation was mostly due to changes in percentage occurrence of the precipitation types for each monsoon season.

A SoC-IP Core Test Data Compression Scheme based on Error Correcting Hamming Codes

10.11591/ijeecs.v12.i3.pp933-940
Sanjoy Mitra , Debaprasad Das
As system-on-chip (SoC) integration is growing very rapidly, increased circuit densities in SoC have lead a radical increase in test data volume and reduction of this large test data volume is one of the biggest challenges in the testing industry. This paper presents an efficient test independent compression scheme primarily based on the error correcting Hamming codes. The scheme operates on the pre-computed test data without the need of structural information of the circuit under test and thus it is applicable for IP cores in SoC. Test vectors are equally sliced into the size of ‘n’ bits. Individual slices are treated as a Hamming codeword consisting of ‘p’ parity bits and ‘d’ data bits (n = d + p) and validity of each codeword is verified. If a valid slice is encountered’ data bits prefixed by ‘1’ are written to the compressed file, while for a non-valid slice all ‘n’ bits preceded by ‘0’ are written to the compressed file. Finally, we apply Huffman coding and RLE in order to improve the compression ratio further The efficiency of the proposed hybrid scheme is verified with the experimental outcomes and comparisons to existing compression methods suitable for testing of IP cores.

Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) control is a technology that has made a major impact on the automatic control industry. MFA control users have successfully solved many industry-wide control problems in various applications and achieved significant economic benefits. Now, the challenge is extending the many advantages of MFA control technology to diverse and fragmented markets, which could benefit from its unique capabilities. Since single-loop MFA controllers can directly replace legacy PID controllers without the need for "system" redesign (plugand play), they are readily embeddable in various instruments, equipment, and smart control valves. This alleviates concerns relative to cost of change and also makes MFA an appealing tool for OEM applications on a large scale.

This study aimed to determine the nitrogen content of spinach leaves by using computer imaging technology. The application of Color Co-occurrence Matrix (CCM) texture analysis was used to recognize the pattern of nitrogen content in spinach leaves. The texture analysis consisted of 40 CCM textural features constructed from RGB and grey colors. From the 40 textural features, the best features-subset was selected by using features selection method. Features selection method can increase the accuracy of image analysis using ANN model to predict nitrogen content of spinach leaves. The combination of ANN with Ant Colony Optimization resulted in the most optimal modelling with mean square error validation value of 0.0000083 and the R2 testing-set data = 0.99 by using 10 CCM textural features as the input of ANN. The computer vision method using ANN model which has been developed can be used as non-invasive sensing device to predict nitrogen content of spinach and for guiding farmers in the accurate application of their nitrogen fertilization strategies using low cost computer imaging technology.

In this era of universal electronic connectivity, communication is no more confined to transfer of data from one end to the other; rather it aims at secure data transfer. Communication sector has developed beyond this traditional boundary of data transfer and is now working on ways to provide data from the intended senders to the intended receivers in an unaltered form. Considering all these conditions, the data transfer needs to follow the principles of authentication, confidentiality and integrity. The former two have been addressed using digital signatures and encryption schemes respectively, while the solution to the later is the use of Message Authentication Code. This paper presents a Message Authentication Code scheme, which uses the biological characteristics represented by Deoxyribonucleic acid combined with the output of Blum Blum Shub Random Number Generator, as a secret key along with a novel hash algorithm. This Message Authentication Code structure is evaluated on the basis of National Institute of Science and Technology test suite for random numbers, avalanche criteria and network attacks. The results reveal that the proposed scheme performs well under all the criteria and thus is capable of preserving integrity; this increases its applicability in any data sensitive environment.

Sensorless Control of a Fault-Tolerant Multi-Level PMSM Drive

10.12928/telkomnika.v16i6.9647
Kamel; An-Najah National Univeristy Saleh , Mark; Nottingham University Sumner
This paper presents a new technique to track the saliency position in a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) post a single phase open-circuit fault. The PMSM is driven by a fault-tolerant multi-level inverter that is utilized to implement a fault-tolerant control strategy to minimize system performance degradation post the fault.The fault-tolerant multi-level inverter is consisting of a number of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The dynamic current reponses of the PMSM motor due to the switching actions of these IGBTs are used extract the saliency position. This process is not introducing any modification to the operation of the fault-tolerant multil-level inverter as it uses only the fundamental pulse width modulation (PWM) waveform. Moreover,it considers the modifications introduced to the PMSM motor and the multi-level inverter post the fault.Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy of saliency tracking of a PMSM motor driven by a fault-tolerant four-leg multi-level inverter over a wide range of speeds in the case of a single-phase open circuit fault.
