A. Z. Adnan , M. E. Yusoff , H. Hashim
Distributed Generation is generation of electricity from renewable energy resources, located closer to the customers or loads. Installation of Distributed Generation could improve voltage and power quality, mitigate voltage sags, minimize transmission system congestion, and provide more affordable capacity for utilizing renewable energy resources. However, high penetration of Distributed Generation to the existing national grid system may contribute several impacts including fault level, as well as the performance of power system protection. Monitoring of fault level is important in power system protection in order to sustain the health of power system networks. This paper investigates the impact of installing Distributed Generation to power system fault level. Three-phase symmetrical fault is simulated and analyzed for various sizes of distributed generation in IEEE 30 bus system using Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E) software.Distributed Generation is generation of electricity from renewable energy resources, located closer to the customers or loads.

Every child is special and has her/his own unique potential. Identifying child’s potential in early age is important for teaching purpose since every child has difference intelligence and interest. Therefore children’s teaching and learning process should be delivered based on child’s interest and intelligence, instead of forcing children to excel in every subject. We propose our research to identify child’s intelligence by designing fuzzy expert system. The system works based on several input data of children’s multiple intelligences. The fuzzy expert system is developed using 25 input variables and resulted in 9 output variables. The system classifies the result based on 9 types of intelligence in human, where each exhibits different level. We produce 81 rules with fuzzy set of three different levels value (high, moderate, or low) for every kind of intelligence. The result of this research is very useful to help parents and teachers for determining their method of teaching based on children’s potential.

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) power cable is commonly used as the medium for transmitting power supply in the power system network. However, frequent exposure of XLPE cable to the high voltage causes its insulation to degrade over time leading to electricity outages. Degradation of cable can be prevented if regular maintenance is performed using the accurate assessment method. This study models and simulates a cable system comprising of three cable sections connected by two un-degraded cable joints. This model aims to assess defect along the tested cable with the application of time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique. A series of simulations are conducted by varying the cable insulation condition to study its influence on the cable joint reflection. These simulation results from MATLAB/Simulink are validated against the actual TDR experimental results. The identical results shown between the simulation and experimental results indicate that the cable model is valid and can be used to assess the condition of a cable.

The noise introduced in the channel obviously affects the bit error rate of the communication system and this has direct impact in the security. Here the main problem is that the receiver terminal decoding techniques can lead to wrong interpretation even if the Bit Error Rate (BER) is acceptable. So the main idea here is to introduce high values of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) that can improve the bit error rate which exists due to the noise introduced in the wireless channel.
