Analysis of Solar Radiation Availability for Deployment of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Technology in a Tropical City

10.11591/ijape.v4.i1.pp41-46
Olatona G. I , Adegoke C. W
The sunshine hours and solar radiation data for Ibadan (7° 30´ N, 3° 54´ E.), South West Nigeria in the last twenty years was analyzed, with a view to determining the abundance of solar energy available for deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology applications. The measured solar radiation and actual sunshine hour data were obtained from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan. The data were analyzed using the statistical package of „origin 7‟ software. The maximum of 16.1MJm-2day-1 and minimum of 10.71MJm-2day-1 occurred in months of May and August respectively while the actual sunshine hour variation follows the same general trend but with the maximum of 6.99hrs in February and a minimum of 2.37hrs in August. At the current solar-to-electric conversion efficiency of 10%, the minimum solar radiation of 10.71MJm-2day-1 can supply a 1.0m2 solar panel a minimum of 44.6KWhr of Energy. Thus an abundance of solar energy has been established at Ibadan which in recent times has been witnessing incessant power outages from the national grid and thereby can contribute significantly to efforts in improving power supply mix. This implies that solar energy technology can thrive not only at Ibadan but in the whole of South West of Nigeria. Evidence of viability of PV technology in this area also abounds in the success of Solar Water Pumping stations recently installed by Government Agencies such as Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (ORBDA) and the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) programmes in the area and environs.

Venkata Raghavendra Miriampally , G. Subba Rao , V Sudheer Raja
In wireless communications system, it is desirable to allow the subscriber to send simultaneously information to the base station while receiving information from base station. Multiple access techniques are used to allow many mobile users to share simultaneously a finite amount of radio spectrum. Frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access(TDMA), and code division multiple access (CDMA) are the three major access techniques used to share the available bandwidth in a wireless communication system. In this paper we calculated the number of channels required for FDMA & TDMA techniques depending on various factors such as spectrum, channel band width etc.

A Modified Bat Algorithm for Power Loss Reduction in Electrical Distribution System

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1448
Djossou Adeyemi Amon
Losses on Electric Distribution System lines represent a major challenge for electric distribution companies since those losses refer to the amount of electricity injected into the distribution grids that are not paid by users. Network Optimization by system reconfiguration is one of the solutions among many others used to solve this problem. In this paper a modified version of new Meta Heuristic algorithm based on Bat behavior is proposed to find the best system configuration with a low loss rate, we present two different approaches: reduction of search space and introduction of sigmoid function to fit the algorithm to the problem. The main advantages of the proposed methodology are: easy implementation and less computational efforts to find an optimal solution. To demonstrate its efficiency the proposed scheme is tested on 33 Bus distribution system and the results show loss reduction rate of 33%. DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7629

A New Approach of Localized Human Blood Reheating Using High Frequency Converter

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1453
Pradip Kumar Sadhu , Palash Pal , Animesh Halder , Ankur Ganguly , Nitai Pal , Prabir Bhowmik
The paper presents the human blood reheating technique for medical purposes with high frequency induction heating system. The temperature is analyzed to determine the heat distribution in different positions of human blood within the non metallic tank. In the proposed induction heating system, the inductive applicator is a primary working coil of the modified half bridge high frequency inverter and the RBCs within the blood will be working as secondary element. The simulation shows that the heating area can be effectively controlled by using the cylindrical shield with adjustable space. However, the efficiency of heat can be increased by varying the radius size of cylinder thereby more flux appears and more eddy emf is induced. Hence the resulting eddy current increases the refrigerated blood of range 1ºC- 6ºC to 37ºC. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7262

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1462
Abdirashid Salad Nur , Nor Haizan Mohd Radzi , Siti Mariyam Shamsuddin
Training Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is of great significanceand a difficult task in the field of supervised learning as its performance depends on underlying training algorithm as well as the achievement of the training process. In this paper, three training algorithms namely Back-Propagation Algorithm, Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) and hybrid BP and HSA called BPHSA are employed for the supervised training of Multi-Layer Perceptron feed  forward type of Neural Networks (NNs)  by giving special attention to hybrid BPHSA. A suitable structure for data representation of NNs is implemented to BPHSA-MLP, HSA-MLP and BP-MLP. The proposed method is empirically tested and verified using five benchmark classification problemswhich are Iris, Glass, Cancer, Wine and Thyroid dataset on training NNs. The MSE, training time, and classification accuracy of hybrid BPHSA are compared with the standard BP and meta-heuristic HSA. The experiments showed that proposed method has better results in terms of convergence error and classification accuracy compared to BP-MLP and HSA-MLPmaking the BPHSA-MLPa promising algorithm for neural network training. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7233

An Efficient Converging Snake Algorithm for Locating Object Boundaries

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1463
Atiqur Rahman , Rashed Mustafa
Active contour are now established as a technique for extracting salient contours from an image. A snake is an active contour for representing object contour. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. A different contour search algorithm is presented in this paper that provides an efficient convergence to the object contours than both the kass et al and greedy snake algorithm (GSA).Our proposed algorithm provides a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handle by traditional snakes. This  algorithm compares with other two conventional approaches is faster according to needed execution time. This paper tells us which one is better by comparing each other. The experimental results of various test sequence images with a single object shown good performance, which proved that the proposed algorithm is faster among those. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7467

Hardware Implementation of FIR Neural Network for Applications in Time Series Data Prediction

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1458
Kuldeep S. Rawat , G.H. Massiha
Time series data prediction is used in several applications in the area of science and engineering. Time series prediction models have been implemented using statistical approaches, but recently, neural networks are being applied for times series prediction due to their inherent properties and capabilities. A variation of a standard neural network called as finite impulse response (FIR) neural network has proven to be highly successful in achieving higher degree of prediction accuracy when used over various time series prediction applications. These applications are time critical and involve huge amounts of computation that are slower when run on a general purpose processor and hence, a dedicated hardware is required. In this paper, authors present hardware implementation of an FIR neural network for applications in times series data prediction. The implementation is divided into (i) off-board, where the training algorithm and neural network configuration is implemented in Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) and simulated with various benchmark time series data set and (ii) on-board, where the entire system is modeled in a hardware description language (HDL). The simulation experiment, hardware building blocks, the implementation framework, and the hardware design flow are discussed in this paper. The hardware resource utilization and timing information are also reported in the paper. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7272

Capacitor Bank Voltage Equilibrium for MPPT in Single-Phase Single-Stage Five-Level Inverter for PV-Grid Application

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/1449
Leonardus Heru Pratomo , F. Danang Wijaya , Eka Firmansyah
Single-phase single-stage PV-Grid system using a five-level inverter has been investigated. Some of integration systems used two-stage converters, while others used single-stage converter. However, two-stage converters had a very complicated problem. The first converter acted as a maximum power point tracker to maximize power generated by sunlight energy to electric power, implemented by PV. The second stage was used as an interface to the grid. In single stage-converter was very simple in which an inverter was used for a maximum power point tracker and interface to the grid. This paper is designed to develop a single-stage PV-Grid system using a single-phase voltage source five-level inverter. The voltage equilibrium on capacitor was to make PV generate maximum power; hence, the equilibrium voltage between PV and five-level inverter output was proposed to deliver that maximum power generated by PV to the grid. Here, an analysis and a simulation were performed to demonstrate the design effectiveness. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7646

Compression Techniques Vs Huffman Coding

10.11591/ijict.v4i1.pp29-37
Vikas Kumar
The technique for compressioning the Images has been increasing because the fresh images need large amounts of disk space. It is seems to be a big disadvantage during transmission & storage of image. Even though there are so many compression technique already presents and have better technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, and friendly with the requirements of the user. In this paper we proposed the method for image compression and decompression using a simple coding technique called Huffman coding and show why this is more efficient then other technique. This technique is simple in implementation and utilizes less memory compression to other. A software algorithm has been developed and implemented to compress and decompress the given image using Huffman coding techniques in a MATLAB platform.

N. Loganathan , K. Lakshmi
This paper presents an optimization method to the Demand Side Energy Management System (DSEMS) of a given consumer (e.g.an industrial compound or university campus) with respect to hourly electricity prices. The demands can be supplied through the main grid and stochastic Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as wind and solar power sources.  To solve this DSEMS problem and optimization algorithm based on Linear Programming (LP) approach has been implemented.  The objective of the proposed method is to maximize the utilization of the cluster of demands. This LP algorithm allows the cluster of demand to buy, store and sell energy at suitable times to adjust the hourly load level. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm an IEEE 14 bus system was considered. The results shows that the cluster of demands of energy management system using the proposed approach increasing the efficiency and minimizing the losses than the existing methods. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7570

Jingfang Wang
A new pitch detection method is designed by the recurrence analysis in this paper, which is combined of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Elliptic Filter (EF). The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) of Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) are utilized tosolve the problem, and a noisy voice is first filtered on the elliptic band filter. The two Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) are synthesized by EMD with maximum correlation of voice, and then the pitch be easily divided. The results show that the new method performance is better than the conventional autocorrelation algorithm and cepstrum method, especially in the part that the surd and the sonant are not evident, and get a high robustness in noisy environment. DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i1.7216
