This paper analyzed a single phase nine level cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMLI) topology in which requires lesser number of components and easier to control if compared to other methods. The inverter of different voltage levels (up to 9-Levels) are designed and simulated using MATLAB Simulink. A Level Shifted Multi-Carrier PWM control scheme is used to control the operation of the power switches for CHMLI topology. The results are compared in terms of THD.  The value of THD is found to be reduced as the number of voltage level of CHMLI is increased.

Heena Kousar , B.R. Prasad Babu
Recently with increased adoption of big data, Internet of Things and sensor technology by various organization for provisioning smart intelligent services for various application uses. Data processing on real-time social media and sensor data is been a key area of research in recent times and these data are massive and continuous. Smart application using sensor and social media data can be classified into three class: 1) online processing of streaming data; 2) online processing of historical data; and 3) hybrid processing of both. The existing model are designed considering stream or batch processing. For provisioning real-time processing MapReduce framework using Hadoop framework is considered by state-of-art technique for data inflow forecasting. However, the Hadoop based forecasting model are not efficient in fully utilizing system resource. Agent based MapReduce forecasting model is adopted by state-of-art technique to utilize system efficiently. However, they incurs high computation overhead, thus increase cost of computing cost. To overcome this work present an agent based Data Inflow Forecasting (DIF) model for both stream and non-stream (historical) data by using Multivariate Gaussian Mixture (MGM) model. This work present an Agent based MapReduce (AMR) framework to process data in real-time and utilize system resource efficiently. To provide scalability for processing social media and sensor data DIF-AMR model adopts cloud computing architecture. Experiment are conducted to evaluate performance of DIF-AMR of over existing model shows significant performance improvement in terms of computation time.

GENCO Optimal Bidding Strategy and Profit based Unit Commitment using Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization Illustrating the Effect of GENCO Market Power

10.11591/ijece.v8i4.pp1997-2013
Adline Bikeri , Christopher Muriithi , Peter Kihato
In deregulated electricity markets, generation companies (GENCOs) make unit commitment (UC) decisions based on a profit maximization objective in what is termed profit based unit commitment (PBUC). PBUC is done for the GENCOs demand which is a summation of its bilateral demand and allocations from the spot energy market. While the bilateral demand is known, allocations from the spot energy market depend on the GENCOs bidding strategy. A GENCO thus requires an optimal bidding strategy (OBS) which when combined with a PBUC approach would maximize operating profits. In this paper, a solution of the combined OBS-PBUC problem is presented. An evolutionary particle swarm optimization (EPSO) algorithm is implemented for solving the optimization problem. Simulation results carried out for a test power system with GENCOs of differing market strengths show that the optimal bidding strategy depends on the GENCOs market power. Larger GENCOs with significant market power would typically bid higher to raise market clearing prices while smaller GENCOs would typically bid lower to capture a larger portion of the spot market demand. It is also illustrated that the proposed EPSO algorithm has a better performance in terms of solution quality than the classical PSO algorithm.

A rigorous analytical and semi analytical method of lines has been used to calculate the transverse-electric field attenuation coefficient of guided mode as it travels in waveguide bends structure. Both approaches then were compared to get a better understanding on how the attenuation behaves along single curve waveguides with constant radius of curvature. The Helmholtz Equation in polar coordinate was transformed into a curvalinier coordinate to simulate the waveguide bends using the method of line analysis. The simple absorption boundary conditions are used into the method of lines to demonstrate evanescent field of the guided mode nature as its travels in waveguide bends structures. The results show that a reasonable agreement between both theoretical approaches.

With the rapid development in the era of Internet and networking technology, there is always a requirement to improve the security systems, which secure the transmitted data over an unsecured channel. The needs to increase the level of security in transferring the data always become the critical issue. Therefore, data security is a significant area in covering the issue of security, which refers to protect the data from unwanted forces and prevent unauthorized access to a communication. This paper presents a review of structured-scheme representation for data security application. There are five structured-scheme types, which can be represented as dual-scheme, triple-scheme, quad-scheme, octal-scheme and hexa-scheme. These structured-scheme types are designed to improve and strengthen the security of data on the application.

One part of the wireless power transfer system is rectifier, where the energy which received by the receiver conditioned according to the device character. While devices with direct current as a wave form of electrical energy is commonly used. Conventional rectifier was using half wave or full wave circuit where uses diode circuit, capacitor and transformer as filter. The disadvantage of the system is reactive power and harmonization. We proposed the pulse width modulation because PWM could enhanced power factor value on an AC voltage source system with 50 Hz frequency. The main focus on which this study was based was to derive efficiency values from pulse width modulation utilization in the rectification process while the frequency work at 5 MHz and highest power at 54.48 Watt, and compare this reasearch with published research for similar systems. To achieve the objectives of this study then performed design and build system, measurement and analysis of the value of system efficiency. The results of the research obtained the highest value of efficiency at 81%.

The aim of this research is to assist elderlies in accomplishing their everyday tasks through facilitating their home atmosphere with sensors, actuators, and computational resources. A significant effort is needed to incorporate them to make them effective in daily life. Particularly, the tracking and detection of elderly people’s daily tasks, associated with the information of the user's location in the home environment signify the key pillars of this work. The detecting and tracking algorithm uses the sensory data to indicate an associated situation in order to allow elderly people with special requirements. Monitoring the elderly’s behaviour over a long period of time will allow prediction of their forthcoming alarming situation which allows the finding of the elderly’s behavioural deviations in their everyday routine. The proposed resolution has been methodically assessed in the laboratory.

In order to achieve a targeted number of foreign tourist arrivals set by the Indonesian government in 2017, we need to predict the number of foreign tourist arrivals. As a major tourist destination in Indonesia, Bali plays an important role in determining the target. According to the characteristic of the tourist arrivals data, one shows that we need a more flexible forecasting technique. In this case we propose to use a Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique. Furthermore, the effects of noise components have to be filtered. Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) plays an important role in filtering such noise. Therefore, the combination of these two methods (SSA-SVM) will be used to predict the number of foreign tourist arrivals to Bali in 2017. The performance of SSA-SVM is evaluated via simulation studies and applied to tourist arrivals data in Bali. As the results, SSA-SVM shows better performances compare to other methods.

There has been a significant increase in the exploitation of renewable energy systems. To be able to efficiently utilize grid - connected renewable energy sources, there must be a reliable control and monitoring system. In building a control and monitoring system for this system, a power analyzer connected to a microcontroller was used. The microcontroller was linked to touchscreen display where a graphical user interface (GUI) was programmed to able to display and log the data recovered. Relays were used to reconfigure the system by shifting the load’s source of energy between the grid and renewable energy system. The energy generated by the renewable energy system may be delivered to the load or be fed to the grid as needed. This operation will be done through either an external device or through a computer which was built to manually operate the control system and view the status of the system as determined by parameters such as cost and energy consumption. This system provided residential buildings with their own renewable energy system with a simple yet reliable control and monitoring system. The system was able to accumulate accurate and real time data. It also provided a continuous supply and switching application simultaneously.

Currently, the quality of health services in Indonesia is getting better. However, the referral system still has some problems. The first is the difficulty in determining the referral hospital by the condition of the patient. The second is the different parameters used to determine the referral hospitals between countries. Based on those problems, it is necessary to improve the ability of the current referral system. This study developed a reference system model for assessing the suitability of the patient's background with the referral hospital. Some of the methods used are restful on web service technologies for information exchange between primary health care doctors and referral hospitals, Fuzzy Multiple-Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) to determine the ranking of referral hospitals that fit the patient's background. The result of this study is an intelligent system model to get the referral hospital that fit the patient's background.
