Design of Observer-Based Robust Power System Stabilizers

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp1956-1966
Hisham M. Soliman , Mahmoud Soliman
Power systems are subject to undesirable small oscillations that might grow to cause system shutdown and consequently great loss of national economy. The present manuscript  proposes two  designs for observer-based robust power system stabilizer (PSS) using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach to damp such oscillations. A model to describe power system dynamics for different loads is derived in the norm-bounded form. The first controller design is based on the derived model to achieve  robust stability against load variation. The design is based on a new Bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) condition. The BMI optimization  is solved interatively in terms of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) framework. The condition contains a symmetric positive definite full matrix to be obtained, rather than the commonly used block diagonal form. The difficulty in finding a feasible solution is thus alleviated. The resulting LMI is of small size, easy to solve. The second PSS design shifts the closed loop poles in a desired region so as to achieve a favorite  settling time and damping ratio via a non-iterative solution to a set of LMIs.  The approach provides a systematic way to design a robust output feedback PSS which  guarantees good dynamic performance for different loads. Simulation results based on single-machine and multi-machine power system models verify the ability of the proposed PSS to satisfy control objectives for a wide range of load conditions.

This article develops also a measure and prototype to allow the acquisition of real time data for display, analysis, control and storage with a proposed test program for determining the model parameters. The aim is to be able to measure, and apply moment to a specimen, and collect data from the resulting deformation in the material. At the same time, the reliability of this test system has been proved by precision analysis and data processing for a simple test validation (metal wire). The force-deformation curves of solids materials in this tensile test are measured accurately in real time, to obtain the values of solid materials mechanical property parameters, The minimal change in length of the test Specimen that can be resolved by this system is 1µm, which yields the sensitivity comprised between 10-4µm and 10-5 µm. Based on the experience that compressive tensile test have the smallest statistical scatter and that they are simplest to carry out. The measuring device can improve the measuring efficiency and accuracy distinctly while has advantages of simple configuration, low cost and high stability.

Carrier-Based PWM Technique for Inverter-Fed Multiphase Induction Motor 

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp1967-1984
Jyothi B , M.Venugopala Rao
Multiphase (more than three phases) is very much popular due to their eminent features compared to conventional three-phase counter parts. In order to drive the multiphase machine, it requires same phase input w.r.t the no of phases at the output. This paper mainly focuses on five phase, because even after failure of one phase, the performance does not degraded much. Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are used to feed the induction motor. voltage source inverters (VSIs) switches are ON and OFF precisely to control the output. In order to implement harmonic waveform characteristic, carrier based PWM (pulse width modulation) is performed. By using with and without third harmonic injection machine torque is highly improved. Using MATLAB software, the simulation results are presented in the form of computer traces and high traded performance of the machine are discussed.

The extensive growth in wireless communications leads to spectrum scarcity. Since the spectrum is limited spectrum usage is clogged. The best possible solution is usage of cognitive radio. A cognitive radio network with sender, receiver and intermediate devices as relays is analyzed. The channel is modelled with noise considerations, path loss and variance. The system is defined with one primary sender and one primary receiver, in between them five secondary users and two active users. The signals from all these paths are estimated and analyzed to draw the best signal with good signal to noise ratio (SNR). To improve the channel efficiency and quality, we have considered various diversity techniques for which the fading problem of channel can be eliminated. In view of this, we concentrated on improving the system performance with various diversity techniques and optimum weight adaptation concept.

RGB Medical Video Compression Using Geometric Wavelet

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1627-1636
Yassine Habchi , Beladgham Mohammed , Taleb Ahmed Abdelmalik
The video compression is used in a wide of applications from medical domain especially in telemedicine. Compared to the classical transforms, wavelet transform has significantly better performance in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Therefore, this transform introduces high discontinuities in complex geometrics. However, to detect complex geometrics is one key challenge for the high efficient compression. In order to capture anisotropic regularity along various curves a new efficient and precise transform termed by bandelet basis, based on DWT, quadtree decomposition and optical flow is proposed in this paper. To encode significant coefficients we use efficient coder SPIHT. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm DBT-SPIHT for low bit rate (0.3Mbps) is able to reduce up to 37.19% and 28.20% of the complex geometrics detection compared to the DWT-SPIHT and DCuT-SPIHT algorithm.

Improved Model of the Selection with Soft- and Hard-Combining Decoding Strategies for Multi-User Multi-Relay Cooperative Networks

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1766-1778
Nasaruddin Nasaruddin , Yunida Yunida , Khairul Munadi
In a wireless cooperative network, system reliability can be improved by introducing network coding (NC) for transmitting data packets from user to destination through relay nodes. At the destination, a decoding strategy is required to recover the original data packets. The use of NC in cooperative networks has been intensively studied in previous works in terms of the conventional model for two users and a single relay in a network. However, the network model cannot act as a virtual multiple-input multiple-output system, and a multi-user multi-relay network model could be used in a real system. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved model of two network decoding strategies, selection with soft combining (SSC) and selection with hard combining (SHC), for multi-user multi-relay cooperative networks. Users are classified based on their channel conditions, with better signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio sources being viewed as strong users, and others as weak or moderate users in the decoding strategies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we first derive the bit error probability expressions for each strategy as a function of SNR and then evaluate the performance using numerical simulation for a Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results show that SSC outperforms SHC. Furthermore, the improvement in network performance is achieved either by having a higher modulation level or using incremental relaying as the signal reception method at the destination.

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1441-1455
Srete Nikolovski , Goran Knežević , Zoran Baus
In this paper the influence of different soil models on step and touch voltages are presented. Soil resistivity is the basic characteristic of soil which affects a number of parameters (temperature, humidity, salt content). Basic methods of measuring soil resistivity presented in this paper are: Wenner method, Schlumberger method, General method, Driven rod (3-probe) method and the Dipole-Dipole method. Soil resistivity measurements are used to obtain an equivalent soil model (uniform model, two-layer horizontal model, multi-layer horizontal model, vertical model and others). The CDEGS software package is used for computing GPR (Ground Potential Rise), touch and step voltage with several different soil models. The resulting effect of soil models on the grounding resistance, GPR at the surface, touch and step voltages are shown. The 3D spatial distribution and 2D presentation of all characteristic values for safety analysis are presented and plotted.

Secure Multicast Routing Protocol in Manets Using Efficient ECGDH Algorithm

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1857-1865
Gopi Arepalli , Suresh Babu Erukula
An Ad-hoc Network covers a set of autonomous mobile nodes that communicates through wireless communication in an infrastructure-less environment. Mostly MANETs are used in group communication mechanisms like military applications, emergency search, rescue operations, vehicular ad-hoc communications and mining operations etc. In such type of networks, group communication is takes place by multicasting technique. Communication and collaboration is necessary among the nodes in the groups in multicast protocols. PUMA has the best multicast routing protocol compared to tree and mesh based multicast protocols although it suffers from security issues. PUMA mainly suffers from Man In The middle attack. MITM attack generates traffic flow, drop the packets and miscommunicate the neighbor nodes with false hop count. So defending from MITM attack we designed a new mechanism called Elliptic Curve Group Diffie-Hellman (ECGDH). This paper compares results of PUMA [1] routing protocol with legitimate, under attack and after providing security against attack. Finally we observed ECGDH [2] gives efficient results even attack has happened.

Radiology field is very important in today's world, especially in the field of medicine including dentistry. Radiology equipment that is popular in dentistry is the panoramic machine. A panoramic image facilitate the dentist in making a diagnosis of the abnormality in the mouth and teeth. But unfortunately, for developing countries like Indonesia, panoramic machine available are low resolution which have an effect on the resulting image also has low quality. This research aims to improve the quality of the panoramic image to have a better quality. We use point processing method with emphasis on contrast stretching method. We chose this method because it is quite simple but has a high performance. Based on the second opinion from the hospital, the performance is 83.9%, therefore this method is promising to be implemented on the improvement of dental radiology images.

Osama El-Sayed Gouda , Noura Ahmed Elshesheny
Lightning strikes represent a considerable cause of short interruptions in electrical overhead line networks. The over voltages caused by lightning cannot be avoided but their influence can be limited by appropriate over voltage protection. This paper presents analysis study on some factors affecting the back flashover of Egyptian 66 kV distribution lines using Alternative Transient Program (ATP). The study includes the modeling of 66 kV distribution lines, the effects of magnitude and the front and tail times of lightning wave on the back flashover voltages, the effects of the striking distance, and the using of counterpoise wires on the back flashover on the 66 kV line towers. In this paper the 66 kV lines sag is neglected and the soil ionization by the flow of the stroke current is considered.

Neural Networks for Flow Bottom Hole Pressure Prediction

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1839-1856
Medhat Awadalla , Hassan Yousef
Installation of down-hole gauges in oil wells to determine Flowing Bottom-Hole Pressure (FBHP) is a dominant process especially in wells lifted with electrical submersible pumps.  However, intervening a well occasionally is an exhaustive task, associated with production risk, and interruption. The previous empirical correlations and mechanistic models failed to provide a satisfactory and reliable tool for estimating pressure drop in multiphase flowing wells. This paper aims to find the optimum parameters of Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) with back-propagation algorithm to predict the flowing bottom-hole pressure in vertical oil wells.  The developed neural network models rely on a large amount of available historical data measured from actual different oil fields. The unsurpassed number of neural network layers, the number of neurons per layer, and the number of trained samples required to get an outstanding performance have been obtained. Intensive experiments have been conducted and for the sake of qualitative comparison, Radial Basis neural and network and the empirical modes have been developed. The paper showed that the accuracy of FBHP estimation using FFNN with two hidden layer model is better than FFNN with single hidden layer model, Radial Basis neural network, and the empirical model in terms of data set used, mean square error, and the correlation coefficient error. With best results of 1.4 root mean square error (RMSE), 1.4 standard deviation of relative error (STD), correlation coefficient (R) 1.0 and 99.4% of the test data sets achieved less than 5% error. The minimum sufficient number of data sets used in training ANN model can be low as 12.5% of the total data sets to give 3.4 RMSE and 97% of the test data achieved 90% accuracy.

Dawit Fitsum , Dilip Mali , Mohammed Ismail
This paper presents the bandwidth enhancement of a Proximity Coupled Feed Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna using a new Defected Ground Structure - an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped slot on the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna. The parameters such as Bandwidth, Return loss, VSWR and Radiation efficiency are improved in the proposed antenna than simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure. A comparison is also shown for the proposed Microstrip patch antenna with the antenna structure without Defected Ground Structure. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 180 MHz. A very good return loss of -47.9223 dB is obtained for the Microstrip patch antenna with an ’inverted SHA’ shaped Defected Ground Structure. Implementing an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped defect in the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna results in 5.3% improvement in bandwidth with 16.01% reduction in the overall area of the ground plane as compared to the Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure.
