10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i2.pp755-766
Abdelmalik Bendaikha , Salah Saad
This paper presents a MATLAB/SIMULINK model of two multi-level inverter topologies. Algorithms based on space vector modulation (SVM) technique are developed in order to conduct a comparative study on diode clamped five and seven level inverters. The scheme used to develop these control algorithms are based on symmetrical sequence because of the symmetry of the switching wave. Both topologies are simulated and analyzed using a squirrel cage induction motor. The results have showed that the best motor dynamic response with less harmonic distortion and torque fluctuations is obtained when seven-level inverter is employed.

Chethan Raj D , D N Gaonkar
The new energy source utilization and development, gradual rise of distributed power grid miniaturization, intelligence, control has become a trend. In order to make microgrid reliable and efficiently run, control technology of microgrid has become a top priority and an inverter as microgrid basic unit, its control has become the most  important part in microgrid. In this paper, three inverters are operated in parallel using an P-V/Q-F droop control is investigated. Mathematical model of three phase inverter with LC filter is derived, which is based on the voltage and current dual control loop. Parallel control strategy based on P-V/Q-F droop control, does not require a real time communications between the inverters and more suitable for microgrid applications. To verify the feasibility and validity of the droop control scheme, simulation is done in Matlab/Simulink and results indicate droop control has significant effect on power sharing and balancing the voltage magnitude, frequency.

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i2.pp963-978
Yeo Chin Kiat , Mariam Md Ghazaly , Shin Horng Chong , Irma Wani Jamaludin
This paper presents the review of design variables optimization and control strategies of a Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator (LSRA).  The introduction of various type of linear electromagnetic actuators (LEA) are compared and the advantages of LSRA over other LEA are discussed together with the type of actuator configurations and topologies. The SRA provides an overall efficiency similar to induction actuator of the similar rating, subsequently the friction and windage losses are comparable but force density is better. LSRA has the advantage of low cost, simple construction and high reliability compare to the actuator with permanent magnet. However, LSRA also has some obvious defects which will influence the performance of the actuator such as ripples and acoustic noise which are caused by the highly nonlinear characteristics of the actuator. By researching the design variables of the actuator, the influences of those design variables are introduced and the detail comparisons are analyzed in this paper.  In addition, this paper also reviews on the control strategies in order to overcome the weaknesses of LSRA.

Conformance Testing and Analysis of Synchrophasor Communication Message Structures and Formats for Wide Area Measurement Systems in Smart Grids

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp106-116
Adeyemi Charles Adewole , Raynitchka Tzoneva
The renewed quest for situational awareness in power systems has brought about the use of digital signal processing of power system measurements, and the transmission of such data to control centres via communication networks. At the control centres, power system stability algorithms are executed to provide monitoring, protection, and control in order to prevent blackouts. This can be achieved by upgrading the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems through the deployment of newly proposed power system synchrophasor-based applications for Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC). However, this can only be done when there is a complete understanding of the methods and technologies associated with the communication network, message structure, and formats required. This paper presents an analysis of the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor message framework, message formats, and data communication of synchrophasor measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for WAMPAC schemes in smart grids. A newly designed lab-scale testbed is implemented and used in the practical experimentation relating to this paper. Synchrophasor measurements from the PMUs are captured using a network protocol analyzer software-Wireshark, and the compliance of the synchrophasor message structures and formats captured was compared to the specifications defined in the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor standard.

Madaci Mansour , Djallel Kerdoun
The stability and the fast response are two parameters to evaluate the efficiency of any system, and the acknowledgement of the mathematic model studied and its parameters are strongly required. In order to build the regulation and the control of the system, different methods are used. Some are traditional (PI, PD, PID…); whereas, others are modern (Fuzzy logic, neural networks, statistical algorithms, genetic algorithms, VGPI and so on…).In this paper, we focused on the presentation of a new method which we call the scheduling regulation based on a particle swarm optimization. A stochastic diffusion search method that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of real ants with their environment. Ant colony optimization algorithms (ACO) presents a promising performance which is a self-organized regulation system with no need to the acknowledgment of both the mathematic model and the parameters of the systems from a side, and it can insure the stability and the fast response of the system from another side.

Review on Recent Advances in Titanium Dye Oxide Nanoparticles for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Applications

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp126-135
divya Chandran
Alternate energy source becomes a crucial for green energy solution against ever increasing demand. Dye Sensitized solar cell is another promising option toward green energy providing opportunity to explore natural dye extracts from plants. This review explores recent developments in the field of Dye Sensitized solar cell technology specifically with sensitizer synthesized from plants which are also found in India. Anthocyanin, betalain, chlorophyll and carotenoids are among the most common plant pigments explored as sensitizers. The review of different attempts on fabrication of natural dye based solar cells implies that titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano particles can be used as photoanode, platinum (Pt) as counter electrode and iodine/iodide electrolyte. Plant pigments are highly pH sensitive and can alter solar cell performance based on its extraction method, concentration and its ability to anchor with photoanode. Stability of dye, absorption in near IR range and leakage of liquid electrolyte are few of the challenges ahead. However, natural dye is biodegradable and non-toxic having most of the extraction process harmless to environment. In addition, natural dye has the promising future as it is abundant.

Writer Identity Recognition and Confirmation Using Persian Handwritten Texts

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp98-105
Aida Sheikh , Hassan Khotanlou
There are many ways to recognize the identity of individuals and authenticate them and the modern world still is looking for unique biometric features of humans. The recognition and authentication of individuals with the help of their handwriting is regarded as a research topic in recent years. It is widely used in the field of security, legal, access control to systems and financial activities. This thesis tries to examines the identification and authentication of individuals in Persian (Farsi) handwritten texts so that the identity of the author can be determined with a handwritten text, and in the authentication problem, with having two handwritten texts, it is determined that whether both manuscripts belong to a specific person or not. The proposed system for recognizing the identity of the author in this study can be divided into two main parts: one part is intended for training and the other for testing. To assess the performance of introduced characteristics, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used as the classifier; thus, a model is defined for each angular characteristic. The defined angular models are connected by a specific chain network to form a comprehensive database for classification. This database is then used to determine and authenticate the author.

A CFD Study with Fuzzy Logic Pitch Angle Turbine Control Implementation for OWC Generation System

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp175-184
Mansour Madaci , Djallel Kerdoun
The paper takes the improvement of the performance for an OWC converter from the mechanical side. A FEM model of the OWC conversion structure was proposed, studied and simulated using a CFD simulator. A novel wave generation method was applied through the RWMD method (Real Wave Model Simulator) instead of using an ordinary sin wave generator on the tank to make the waves the closest possible to the real sea waves. A mechanical prototype was built for this purpose to get an oscillated wave model. On the electrical side, a pitch angle control system based on fuzzy set was applied on the turbine to be auto-adapted for the fast variation of the airflow speed to establish and maximize the extracted power from the OWC device. The model have been studied, simulated, implemented and tested to validate the obtained results.

Voltage Ripple Reduction in Voltage Loop of Voltage Source Converter

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i2.pp869-881
Jedsada Jaroenkiattrai , Viboon Chunkag
In order to achieve a good dynamical response of a full-bridge AC-DC voltage source converters (VSC). The bandwidth of PI controller must be relatively wide. This leads to the voltage ripple produced in the control signal, as known that its ripple frequency has twice of the line frequency and cause the 3rd harmonic of an input current. A Ripple Voltage Estimator (RVE) algorithm and Feed-Forward Compensation (FFC) algorithm are proposed and added to the conventional control. The RVE algorithm estimated the ripple signal to subtract it occurring in the voltage loop. As a result, the 3rd harmonic of the input current can be reduced, and hence the Total Harmonic Distortion of input current (THDi) are improved.  In addition, the FFC algorithm will offer a better dynamical response of output voltage. The performance evaluation was conducted through the simulation and experiment at 110Vrms/50Hz of the input voltage, with a 600 W load and 250 Vdc output voltage. The overall system performances are obtained as follows: the power factor at the full load is higher 0.98, the harmonic distortion at AC input power source of the converter is under control in IEC61000-3-2 class A limit, and the overall efficiency is greater than 85%.

Optimum Design of GA-BF Algorithm Based PID Controller for the Solar System

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp136-144
S. Mallika , R. Saravanakumarf
This paper presents a new approach based on the genetic algorithm (GA) and Bacterial Foraging (BF) is used to perform a constrained tuning technique for the PID parameters to optimize the power output of solar panel. A small-signal model is used to design the controller parameters of the conventional PID controller. The dynamics of the converter is non linear, therefore, it is hard to derive desirable performance. So hybrid algorithm is used to optimize the control parameters of boost converter. In order to obtain the fitness of an individual, Simulink model of the boost converter is designed and the hybrid algorithm is programmed to design the optimal control parameters. It was found that the proposed optimal PID controller parameters adjustment by the GA-BF algorithm is superior to the conventional method. The Matlab/Simulink was used to verify the effectiveness of proposed control method.

Analytical Comparision between Single and Modular Fuel Cell Stack: Uniform Modular Cell Approch

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i2.pp89-97
Megavath Venkatesh Naik , Paulson Samuel
A single fuel cell (FC) produces a very small voltage of about 0.6 -0.8 V under normal operating condition, and hence several individual cells are connected in series as a stack to get higher voltages suitable for practical loads. The stacks are then connected in series to get required values of DC voltage. The FC performance varies with the operating parameters such as temperature, humidity, fuel flow rate, ageing and fuel non uniform concentration. The FC stack underperforms when there is presence of bad cell in it. The Presence bad cell in a stack limits the current handling capacity of other healthy cells when it’s connected as a conventional single stack. This can be overcome by connecting the fuel cells in uniform modular cell configuration. In this paper a Uniform Modular Cell Configuration (UMCC) is proposed to gain the maximum power from the stack and the conventional Single or Uni Stack Configuration (USC) is compared with the proposed structure. A detail mathematical analysis of comparing both methods is described. Further the superiority of the proposed method is proven by carrirying out the simulations under steady state operating condition of a FC stack feeding to a constant current load.
