Bidirectional Battery Charger for PV Using Interleaved Fourport DC-DC Converter

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1494
A. Elamathy , G. Vijayagowri , V. Nivetha
In this paper, a four-port bidirectional dc-dc converter is proposed for grid-interactive photovoltaic (PV) system application. The four-phase topology is suitable for residential pumping, aerospace power requirements. The control of battery and different capacities of PV modules are naturally decoupled. In addition, the port interface with PV is current type which can implement maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and soft switching under wide variation of PV terminal voltage. Finally, simulation results are proposed to verify the power control in different operation modes. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i3.7894

The high maternal and infant mortality rates in developing countries, especially Indonesia, are quite alarming. There are many factors that cause high mortality numbers; one of them is the delay in handling cases of high‑risk pregnancies. The main problem faced by developing countries is the lack of health facilities, including medical equipment and human resources. This research aims to develop a simple system that can be used to screen high‑risk pregnancies. This system is based on an expert system. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used in making decisions about potentially high-risk pregnancy patients. Essentially, the system can be used by anyone, anywhere, to carry out early screening of high‑risk pregnancy patients, so that delays in the treatment of these patients can be resolved, because the symptoms of high‑risk pregnancy are known from the beginning. Results indicate that this system shows promise for further development.

Test generation algorithm based on the SVM (support vector machine) generates test signals derived from the sample space of the output responses of the analog DUT. When the responses of the normal circuits are similar to those of the faulty circuits (i.e., the latter have only small parametric faults), the sample space is mixed and traditional algorithms have difficulty distinguishing the two groups. However, the SVM provides an effective result. The sample space contains redundant data, because successive impulse-response samples may get quite close. The redundancy will waste the needless computational load. So we propose three difference methods to compress the sample space. The compressing sample space methods are Equidistant compressional method, k-nearest neighbors method and maximal difference method. Numerical experiments prove that maximal difference method can ensure the precision of the test generation.

Based on the nonlinearity and time-variation of automatic parking path tracking control system, we use fuzzy control theories and methods to explore the control rules to improve fuzzy controllers and design an automobile steering controller. Then we build the simulation experiment platform of an automobile in Simulink to simulate the reversing settings of parallel parking. This paper adopts the Mamdani control rules; the membership function is the Gauss function. This paper verifies the fuzzy controller's kinematic model and the advantages of fuzzy control rules. Simulation results show that the design of the controller allows the automobile to stop into the parking space smaller than the space obtained by planning path, and automatic parking becomes possible in the parking plot. The control system is characterized by small tracking error, fast response and high reliability.

Indonesian, as one of the countries with high number of internet users has the potential to serve as the place with great information resources. However, these resources must be accompanied by the availability of dependable information. Information trustworthiness can be obtained by assessing the confidence level (trust) of the source of information. This can be determined by using trust scope attributes. Hence, in this study, we intended to establish the trust scope attributes by means of utilizing the ones contained in the User Profile provided by social media; in this case Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Linkedin. We carried out the research by conducting four stages namely data collection, attributes grouping, attribute selection, and surveys. A survey was then distributed to 257 randomly selected respondents (divided into two clusters: civilians and military officers) to seek for their opinions in terms of what attributes were considered to be crucial in defining the believability of an information source. Chi-square Goodness of fit Test was conducted to compare observed data with data we would expect to obtain. The results of the research suggested that there was similar judgment in terms of dictating source of information trustworthiness chosen by the research participants with the attributes provided by trust scope category. In this research, both civilians and military officer clusters concurrently perceived that educational background was the most dependable attribute.

Dapeng; Henan Vocational and Technical Institute Zhang , Jiayan; Henan Vocational and Technical Institute Li
Image registration, as one of the basic tasks of image processing, is the process to register two images about the same objective or background which are acquired in different times, different sensors, different perspectives and different shooting conditions. In the image registration, because of the problems that the image information is complicated, they have strong correlation and incompleteness, inaccuracy and non-construction occur in different levels in the processing, to apply the method of computational intelligence information processing in the image registration can have better results than the traditional computation methods. This paper proposes an image registration method based on wavelet decomposition and ant colony optimization, which divides the process of image registration into coarse registration and refined registration through wavelet decomposition technique. In the coarse registration, the transformation parameter value of the image approximation component is acquired through ant colony optimization while the changing parameter value of the original image is obtained by the ant colony search method in the refined registration. The simulation experiment shows that this registration method has the characteristics of anti-noise, fast speed, high accuracy and high registration success rate.

Physiological maturity is an important indicator for beef quality. In traditional method, the maturity grade is determined by subjectively evaluating the degree of cartilage ossification at the tips of the dorsal spine of the thoracic vertebrae. This paper uses the computer vision to replace the artificial method for extracting object (cartilage and bone) regions. Hu invariant moments of object region were calculated as the regional shape characteristic parameters. A trained Hopfield neural network model was used for recognizing cartilage and bone area in thoracic vertebrae image based on minimum Euclidean distance. The result showed that the accuracy of network recognition for cartilage and bone region was 92.75% and 87.68%, respectively. For automatically maturity prediction, the accuracy of prediction was 86%. Algorithm proposed in this paper proved the image description and neural network modeling was an effective method for extracting image feature regions.

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1508
Andino Maseleno , Md. Mahmud Hasan
This paper presents a method to find kicking range of sepak takraw game when player kicks backthe ball to the other team. To serve, one player stands in the right semi-circle on their side of the court. Theplayer throws the ball to the server, who stands in the circle on their side of the court. The player kicks theball up and over the net then opponent player kicks back the ball. This research works considered how fuzzylogic can be applied for the sepak takraw game - for addressing uncertainty in kicking range of the ball. Wehave chosen Tsukamoto’s fuzzy reasoning scheme, because the individual rule outputs are crisp numbers,and therefore, the functional relationship between the input vector and the system output can be relativelyeasily identified. The result reveals that if player serve far, kicking range will be decreased and stable duringkicking very near through kicking very far.\\ DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i3.7833

10.12928/telkomnika.v13i2.1437
Bei; Shanghai Jiao Tong University Xu , Yuanbin; Shanghai Jiao Tong University Song
Emergency road repair and distribution of relief goods are crucial for post-earthquake response. However, interrelationships between those two tasks are not adequately considered in their work schedules, especially in cases with very limited repair resources, leading to unnecessary delay and expenditure. A time-space network model is constructed to better describe the constraints arising from the interrelationships in joint scheduling of road repair and relief distribution works. An ant colony-based heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the NP-hard model efficiently for practical use, followed by a case study of Wenchuan earthquake to validate the planning tool and to demonstrate its feasibility for resolving real world problem.

In order to enhance the fuel economy of hybrid vehicle and increase the mileage of continuation of journey, the power control strategy (PCS) is as significant as component sizing in achieving optimal fuel economy of the fuel cell/battery hybrid vehicle (FCBHV). The models of FCBHV structure and optimal power control strategy are developed by electric vehicle simulation software ADVISOR which uses a hybrid backward/forward approach. The results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy can satisfy the power requirement for two standard driving cycles and achieve the power distribution among various power sources. The comprehensive comparisons with the power tracking controller (PTC) which is wide adopted in ADVISOR verify that the proposed control strategy has better rationality and validity in terms of fuel economy and dynamic property in two standard driving cycles. Therefore, the proposed strategy will provide a novel approach for the advanced power control system of FCBHV.

Due to the world’s increasingly serious energy crisis, shortage of resources, and environmental degradation, traditional power system analysis and scheduling optimization methods have faced new challenges. This article examines the features of optimal scheduling of power system containing cascade hydropower, and establishes a scheduling model based on the Shuffled Complex Evolution Metropolis (SCEM-UA) algorithm. This model takes the cost of power generation, emission of gaseous pollutants, and the characteristics of the generators fully into account. Constraints on the changes in thermoelectric generator power output were added to the set of constraint conditions, reducing the impact of thermal power fluctuations on the power system. Here, the SCEM-UA algorithm was used to solve the problem of optimal power system scheduling and render the model capable of global optimization searches. Analyses of simulated cases have demonstrated that the SCEM-UA algorithm can resolve the conflict between convergence speed and global search capability, increasing the global search capability of the model.

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1504
Chandirasekaran D , T. Jayabarathi
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become popular in many applications area including environmental monitoring, military and offshore oil & gas industries. In WSN the sensors are randomly deployed in the sensor field and hence estimation of the localization of each deployed node has drawn more attention by the recent researchers, It’s a unique problem to identify and maximizing the coverage where the sensors need to be placed in a position so that the sensing capability of the network is fully utilized to ensure high quality of service. In order to keep the cost of sensor networks to a minimum, the use of additional hardware like global positioning system (GPS) can be avoided by the use of effective algorithms that can be used for the same. In this paper we attempted to use both the shuffled frog leaping (SFLA) and firefly algorithms (FFA) to estimate the optimal location of randomly deployed sensors. The results were compared and published for the usefulness of further research. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i3.7861
