This work presents analytical formulas for the estimation of the electrostatic field in cylinder-plane and cylinder-cylinder electrode configurations. Assuming a predefined potential difference between the electrodes and given their geometrical characteristics, these could be useful for the solution of numerous problems involving such electrode sets. Moreover, the voltage distribution around the electrodes is defined by providing equations either for the equipotentials at a given voltage ratio, or the exact estimation of the potential at any point in the surrounding space. Simplified expressions for critical engineering parameters such as the peak electric field and the field enhancement factor are also given.

Nimisha Singh , Rana Gill
Retinal disease is the very important issue in medical field. To diagnose the disease, it needs to detect the true retinal area. Artefacts like eyelids and eyelashes are come along with retinal part so removal of artefacts is the big task for better diagnosis of disease into the retinal part.  In this paper, we have proposed the segmentation and use machine learning approaches to detect the true retinal part. Preprocessing is done on the original image using Gamma Normalization which helps to enhance the image  that can gives detail information about the image. Then the segmentation is performed on the Gamma Normalized image by Superpixel method. Superpixel is the group of pixel into different regions which is based on compactness and regional size. Superpixel is used to reduce the complexity of image processing task and provide suitable primitive image pattern. Then feature generation must be done and machine learning approach helps to extract true retinal area. The experimental evaluation gives the better result with accuracy of 96%.

This paper introduces an improved of multiple harmonic sources identification that been produced by inverter loads in power system using time-frequency distribution (TFD) analysis which is spectrogram.  The spectrogram is a very applicable method to represent signals in time-frequency representation (TFR) and the main advantages of spectrogram are the accuracy, speed of the algorithm and use low memory size such that it can be computed rapidly. The identification of multiple harmonic sources is based on the significant relationship of spectral impedances which are the fundamental impedance (Z1) and harmonic impedance (Zh) that extracted from TFR. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, MATLAB simulations carried out several unique cases with different harmonic producing loads on IEEE 4-bus test feeder cases. It is proven that the proposed method is superior with 100% correct identification of multiple harmonic sources. It is envisioned that the method is very accurate, fast and cost efficient to localize harmonic sources in distribution system.

Modified Distribution Transformer for Enhancing Power Quality in Distribution Systems

10.11591/ijpeds.v7.i4.pp1386-1392
Preetha P.K. , P.S. Chandramohanan Nair
The percentage of non-linear loads in the power distribution sector is increasing day by day. Harmonics injected by these non-linear loads circulate in the delta windings of the conventional distribution transformer thereby increasing the temperature and losses. This reduces the efficiency and life of the transformers. In a modified distribution transformer configuration proposed recently, called star-star-delta_utilized configuration (YYD_utilized), the harmonics circulating in the delta winding was utilized and the drainage power thus recovered was used to power auxiliary loads. This paper presents the experimental studies conducted on YYD_utilized distribution transformer. When compared to conventional star-star, delta-star and star-star-delta transformers, the new configuration of YYD_utilized transformer has shown considerable improvement in transformer efficiency.  The results obtained show that when the power from the circulating harmonics is recovered and utilized, it not only improves transformer efficiency but also improves the power factor and reduces the harmonic distortions at the primary side of the transformer. The results obtained also suggest the existence of maximum power point or an optimum loading for the recovered harmonic power.

Multilevel Inverters (MLI) gains importance in Distribution systems, Electrical Drive systems, HVDC systems and many more applications. As Multilevel Inverters comprises of number of power switches the fault diagnosis of MLI becomes tedious. This paper is an attempt to develop and analyze the fault diagnosis method that utilizes Artificial Neural Network to get it trained with the fault situations. A performance analysis of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and the Modified Genetic Algorithm (MGA), which optimizes the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that trains itself on the fault detection, and reconfiguration of the Cascaded Multilevel Inverters (CMLI) is attempted. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) occurring due to switch failures or driver failures occurring in the CMLI is considered for this comparative analysis. Elapsed time of recovery, Mean Square Error (MSE) and the computational budgets of ANN are the performance parameters considered in this comparative analysis. Optimization is involved in the process of updating the weight and the bias values in the ANN network.  Matlab based simulation is carried out and the results are obtained and tabulated for the performance evaluation. It was observed that Modified Genetic Algorithm performed better than the Genetic Algorithm while optimizing the ANN training.

This paper presents a novel design of a vibration tuning fork gyroscope (TFG) based on a differential driving suspension coupling spring between two gyroscopes. The proposed TFG is equivalent to a transistor differential amplifier circuit. The mechanical vibrations of driving frames are, therefore, well matched. The matching level depends on stiffness of spring. When three various TFG structures respond to differential stiffness of spring, their the driving frame mechanical vibration is well matched in case the input excitation driving differential phase is less than 3.5°, 2.5°, and 4°, respectively. The fabricated tuning fork gyroscope linearly operates in the range from -200 to +200 degree/s with the resolution of about 0.45 mV/degree/s.

Comparative Performance Study for Closed Loop Operation of an Adjustable Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive with Different Controllers

10.11591/ijpeds.v7.i4.pp1085-1099
Chiranjit Sain , Atanu Banerjee , Pabitra Kumar Biswas
In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI and PID controlled closed loop model of an adjustable speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive. The incorporation of Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady state speed error. The entire model of PMSM closed loop drive is divided into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out.  Hence a typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed loop PMSM drive is tested and effectiveness of controllers will be determined for different combinations.
