10.11591/ijpeds.v6.i3.pp477-485
Ananda Kumar Akkarapaka , Dheerendra Sing
In this paper, a new space vector modulation technique is proposed for speedcontrol of Induction Motor using Z-source inverter powered by a low voltage DCsource. The zero states of conventional space vector modulation is used for boosting the DC link voltage to the required level. The proposed SVM techniqueestimates the required shoot through period of the Z-source inverter to maintainthe DClink voltage constant at the desired level through capacitor voltage control.A 32 bit DSP (TMS320F28335) is used to implement the proposed space vectormodulation method. The power structure and the modulation technique is wellsuited for electric vehicle application.

3D Objects Retrieval using Geodesic Distance Based on Eikonal equation

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i3.pp597-604
Driss Naji , M. Fakir , O. Bencharef
Recently, shape-based matching and retrieval of 3D polygonal models has become one of the most fundamental problems in computer vision. Dealing with families of objects instead of a single one may impose further challenges on regular geometric algorithms. In this paper we focus on the classification of 3D objects based on their geodesic distance & path calculated on a mesh using an iterative algorithm for solving the Eikonal equation. For the classification process, we use both Multiclass Support Vector Machine (M-SVM) classifier,K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to better evaluate our descriptors. We illustrate the potential of extracted characteristics by two 3D benchmarks. The recognition rates achieved in all experiments show that a small number of curve between 9 and 12 can correctly categorize a family of 3D objects.

10.11591/ijpeds.v6.i3.pp625-635
Chandani Sharma , Anamika Jain
With an increase of Green Technology applications, Photovoltaic have emerged as the most appropriate solution for electricity generation purposes. However, due to variable temperature and irradiance, under the partial or shaded conditions Maximum Power Point Tracking is needed to determine highest efficiency of the system. The paper describes dynamic modeling and control of variable temperature and irradiance on solar panel in SIMULINK-MATLAB environment. The implementation of Buck Converter is used for power switching and impedance matching on connecting the panel to the load. The effectiveness of the model, with enhanced efficiency through voltage stabilization, is performed using Proportional-Integral-Derivative and Fuzzy-Logic-Controllers. A comparative study is made for PID and FLC on the basis of outputs to deal with online set point variations. FLC gives closer results to Standard Test Conditions when compared with PID. The Fuzzy system developed, using tested membership functions serve as a platform for sustainable standalone and grid-based applications using distributed MPPT.   With an increase of Green Technology applications, Photovoltaic have emerged as the most appropriate solution for electricity generation purposes.

10.11591/ijpeds.v6.i3.pp509-515
Mansouri Ali , Msaddek Hejra , Trabelsi Hafedh
In recent years, permanent magnet machines have become a common choice in many industrial applications. Therefore, several structures have been developed, and the choice of a topology designed for a specified application requires the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of different topologies. The present work deals with the evaluation of the performances of different radial flux surface-mounted permanent magnet motors designed for an electric vehicle motor application. The objective of this survey is to show the effect of the rotor position (inner or outer) and the magnets segmentation on the machine output torque and iron losses. In this context, four machines with: (i) inner rotor, (ii) inner rotor segmented magnets, (iii) outer rotor and (iv) outer rotor segmented magnets have been designed and studied. All these machines have the same geometrical dimensions and current loading. The main idea is to develop a machine with smoothness torque, lower torque ondulation, lower iron losses, and which is mechanically robust. Firstly, the output torque of the different structure is computed. Secondly, by means of an improved analytical model coupled with 2 dimensional transient finite element analysis (FEA), the machines iron losses are predicted.

10.11591/ijpeds.v6.i3.pp567-575
E. Sheeba Percis , Manivannan S , Nalini A
In the past few years the growing demand for electricity and serious concern for the environment have given rise to the growth of sustainable sources like wind, solar, tidal, biomass etc. The technological advancement in power electronics has led to the extensive usage of solar power. Solar power output varies with the weather conditions and under shading conditions. With the increasing concerns of the impacts of the high penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems, a technical study about their effects on the power quality of the utility grid is required. This paper investigates the functioning of a grid-tied PV system along with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The effects of varying atmospheric conditions like solar irradiance and temperature are also taken into account. It is proposed in this work that an Electric Vehicle (EV) can be used as an energy storage to stabilize the power supplied to the grid from the photovoltaic resources. A coordinated control is necessary for the EV to obtain desired outcome. The modeling of the PV and EV system is carried out in PSCAD and the proposed idea is verified through simulation results utilizing real field data for solar irradiance and temperature.

Finite State Predictive Current and Common Mode Voltage Control of a Seven-phase Voltage Source Inverter

10.11591/ijpeds.v6.i3.pp459-476
Atif Iqbal , Shaikh Moinoddine , Khaliqur Rahman
The paper elaborate finite set model based predictive current control of a seven-phase voltage source inverter. The current control is carried out considering a finite set of control actions. The space vector model of a seven-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) yields 27 = 128 space voltage vectors, with 126 active and two zero vectors. The control method described in this paper discard some switching states from the whole set and employs reduced number of switching states to track the commanded current. Three sets of space vectors are used for switching actuation, in one case only 15 vectors are used (14 active and one zero), in second case 29 vectors are used (28 active and one zero) and finally 43 vectors (42 active and one zero) are employed. Optimal algorithm is employed to find the vector which minimizes the chosen cost function. The effect of selecting the cost function, the number of space vectors and the sampling time is investigated and reported. The developed technique is tested for RL load using simulation and experimental approaches.

Depending on the number of levels in output voltage, inverters can be divided into two categories: two level inverter and Multi Level Inverters (MLIs). An inverter topology for high voltage and high power applications that seems to be gaining interest is the MLI. In high power and high voltage applications, the two level inverters have some limitations in operating at high frequency mainly due to switching losses and constraints of device rating.In this paper, a three phase H + type FCMLI (Flying Capacitor MLI) using sinusoidal reference, third harmonic injection reference, 60 degree reference and stepped wave reference are initially developed using SIMULINK and then implemented in real time environment using dSPACE. In H-type FCMLI with R-load it is inferred that bipolar COPWM-C provides output with relatively low distortion for 60 degree reference and bipolar COPWM-C strategy is found to perform better since it provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage for THI reference. The five level output voltages of the chosen MLIs obtained using the MATLAB and dSPACE based PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) strategies and the corresponding %THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), VRMS (fundamental), CF (Crest Factor) and FF (Form Factor) are presented and analyzed.

This study proposes an approach for automatic detection of Ground glass pattern, a lung disease, from Computed Tomography (CT) and High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scans of the lung. The algorithm is based on frequency spectrum analysis of image using Gabor filter bank. Gabor filter banks are used to support the frequency extraction process. These algorithms when applied to HRCT images will assist doctors to gain more information than from the CT images. The tasks are completed in three steps: Preliminary mask formation, Peripheral mask formation and finally post processing. By these, higher sensitivity and selectivity may be achieved with fast processing time. In the post processing, binary noise removal technique is used to remove noise from the detection mask.

Numerical simulation using mathematical models that take into account physical phenomena governing the operation of solar cells is a powerful tool to predict the energy production of photovoltaic modules prior to installation in a given site. These models require some parameters that manufacturers do not generally give. In addition, the availability of a tool for the control and the monitoring of performances of PV modules is of great importance for researchers, manufacturers and distributors of PV solutions. In this paper, a test and characterization protocol of PV modules is presented. It consists of an outdoor computer controlled test bench using a LabVIEW graphical interface. In addition to the measuring of the IV characteristics, it provides all the parameters of PV modules with the possibility to display and print a detailed report for each test. After the presentation of the test bench and the developed graphical interface, the obtained results based on an experimental example are presented.

Image Mosaicing Technique for Wide Angle Panorama

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i3.pp420-429
G. Divya , Ch. Chandrasekhar
Images are integral part in our daily lives. With a normal camera it is not possible to get a wide angle panorama with high resolution. Image Mosaicing is one of the novel techniques, for combining two or more images of the same scene taken in different views into one image. In the dark areas, the obtained image is a panoramic image with high resolution without mask. But in the case of lighting areas, the resultant image is generating mask. In order to gets wide angle panorama, in the existing system, extracting feature points, finding the best stitching line, Cluster Analysis (CA) and Dynamic Programming (DP) methods are used. Also used Weighted Average (WA) method for smooth stitching results and also eliminate intensity seam effectively. In the proposed system, to get feature extraction and feature matching SIFT (Scaled Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm used. In this process, outliers can be generated. RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) is used for detecting the outliers from the resultant image. Masking is significantly reduced by using Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques (ART).

10.11591/ijaas.v4.i3.pp90-94
Bharat R. Kataria , Chirag Savaliya , J. H. Markna
Effect of Mn-site disorder in La0.67Ca0.33Mn1-xSbxO3 (LCMSO) created by the substitution of Sb5+ at Mn-site is studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature dependent resistivity measurements to identify the role of size mismatch at Mn-site and their resistivity property correlations. XRD patterns collected at room temperature for all the LCMSO samples reveal single phasic nature without any detectable impurities within the measurement range studied. XRD data shows that all the samples possess orthorhombic structure without any structural phase transition. Variation in resistivity with Sb5+ content has been discussed in detail in the context of modifications in the structural and magnetic lattices and structural disorder.

The inverters have to be designed to obtain a quality output voltage or a current waveform with a minimum amount of ripple content. In high power and high voltage applications the conventional two level inverters, however, have some limitations in operating at high frequency mainly due to switching losses and constraints of the power device ratings. Series and parallel combination of power switches in order to achieve the power handling voltages and currents. The conventional two level inverters produce THD levels around 60% even under normal operating conditions which are undesirable and cause more losses and other power quality problems too on the AC drives and utilities. Nowadays, multilevel inverters are widely used in power industry. Voltage unbalance problem is one of the major issues in working of multilevel inverter. In this paper, a three phase H-bridge + H-type FCMLI using sinusoidal reference, third harmonic injection reference, 60 degree reference and stepped wave reference are initially developed using SIMULINK and then implemented in real time environment using dSPACE. The five level output voltages of the chosen MLIs obtained using the MATLAB and dSPACE based PWM strategies and the corresponding % THD, VRMS (fundamental) , CF and FF are presented and analyzed. It is observed that bipolar COPWM-C provides output with relatively low distortion for sine reference and bipolar COPWM-B strategy is found to perform better since it provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage for 60 degree reference.
