Single Phase Variable Sampling Phase Locked Loop using Composite Observer

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i1.pp49-60
K Arun , K Selvajyothi
An observer based variable sampling period phase locked loop is introduced for grid connected systems. The composite observer acts as an efficient estimator of the fundamental components from a periodic input signal rich in DC and harmonics. The observer gains are designed using pole placement technique, which inherently ensures the stability of this estimator.  Even under drift frequency, a constant number of samples (512) per cycle are maintained with the help of the numerically controlled oscillator. This makes the oscillator gain elements in the observer a constant and eliminates the trigonometric computation. This phase locked loop is found to be working in a wide range of frequency 40 – 70Hz. The performance of the proposed scheme is studied with a synthetic harmonic rich signal as well as validated by implementing the PLL in Cyclone IV FPGA with a real time grid voltage.

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i1.pp180-186
Vivi Nur Wijayaningrum , Wayan Firdaus Mahmudy
Route scheduling is a quite complicated process because it involves some determinant factors. Several methods have been used to help resolve the NP-hard problems. This research uses genetic algorithm to assist in optimizing ship scheduling, that where there are several ports to be visited by some ships. The goal is to divide the ship to go to a specific port so that each port is only visited by one ship to minimize the total distance of all ships. The computational experiment produces optimal parameters such as the number of popsize is 30, the number of generations is 100, crossover rate value is 0.3 and mutation rate values is 0.7. The final results is an optimal ship route by minimizing the distance of each ship.

Xiaoming Han , Chenxu Luo , Qiangqiang Zhang
This paper analyzes the impact of gas drainage borehole drilling rod vibration phenomena stability.Taking 100m hole depth in underground coal mine as an example, the dynamic simulation analysis of the underground gas drainage drilling rod was carried out by using the ANSYS finite element dynamic analysis module LS-DYNA method.According to the collision course between the drill pipe and the coal hole wall, the Lagrange algorithm is introduced to analyze the stress change of drill pipe in the collision course of 98mm, 108mm, 118mm and 128mm. The failure mechanism of drill pipe fatigue fracture and hole wall instability caused by the collision between drill pipe and coal hole is analyzed. The results show that the stress caused by the impact of drilling speed, drilling pressure and coal hole diameter is larger than that caused by the collision between drill pipe and coal wall.

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i1.pp1-10
Sina Khajeh Ahmad Attari , Mohammad Bakhshipour , Mahmoudreza Shakarami , Farhad Namdari
This paper proposed a novel technique based on teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm in order to find optimal placement of reclosers in the distribution networks which is applied to improve reliability. Reclosers use to eliminate transient faults, faults isolation, network management and enhance reliability to reduce customer outages. According to recloser role in network reliability, the cost for the installation and maintenance must be sustained by distribution companies. Therefore, selecting sufficient number and suitable location for reclosers are important issue. In this paper, the proposed objective function for optimal recloser number and placement has been formulated to improve three reliability indices which consists of three terms; i.e. System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and Average Energy Not Supplied (AENS). Besides the load model effectiveness has been considered to the simulation. To verify the efficiency of proposed method, it has been conducted to IEEE 69-bus radial distribution system. The obtained simulation results demonstrate the reliability improvement.

Ema Kurnia , I Nengah Surati Jaya , Widi Atmaka
 The earth’s average temperature has been a big issue on the global warming. The warming of the earth is largely the results of emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses (GHG) from human activities. As a hinterland of the Capital City, in the last two decades, Bogor is also getting warmer in comparison with the previous decades. This paper presents how the land surface temperature (LST) had been estimated using Split-Window (SW) algorithm and how its spatial distribution in Bogor was computed. The spectral radiance of Landsat-8 TIR bands 10 and 11, the emissivity values, and water vapor used as the input on SW Algorithm. The study revealed that the temperature within the built-up area, have warmer temperature than their surrounding ranging from 400C to 450C of 3,403.9 ha. The use of SW algorithm is quite reliable and accurate to estimate the LST derived from Landsat-8 having a mean deviation of only 2.7%, less than standard acceptable of 10%.

Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as a Viable Methodology for Knowledge Engineering: A Literature Review

10.11591/ijict.v5i1.pp1-10
Franklyn Chukwunonso
This paper presents a baseline perspective of knowledge engineering (KE) methodologies by taking a critical look at the methodological approaches currently used in knowledge engineering domain. A literature review bordering on; the knowledge role concept, knowledge elicitation techniques, and ontological approaches employed in knowledge engineering for the construction of knowledge-based systems (KBSs) was carried out. Journal and conference articles were sourced from multiple journals and research databases and a multi-step manual cross-checking based on carefully selected extraction and quality criteria were employed. The findings of the study show that the existing methodological approaches employed for constructing KBSs in KE is highly deficient and inefficient for solving KE problems under dynamic and uncertain environments. The paper concludes by presenting a strong argument as to why soft systems methodology is best suited for constructing knowledge base systems (KBS) in a spatially distributed, unstructured and shared domain specific context.

Synchronverter Control for Parallel Operation of Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i1.pp107-114
Amar Hamza , Sara Altahir , Xiangwu Yan
A 21-levels cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter topology based on three-phase voltage source inverter has been proposed as a superior replacement for conventional two-level in high voltage applications. In this work we have presented the usage of the new technique called virtual synchronous generator based synchronverter model to operate the multilevel inverter as synchronous generator, and to share active and reactive power automatically in case of parallel operated inverters of the same type. Carrier-based PWM is used to control each phase leg of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. This carrier-based PWM scheme is derived from the carrier phase disposition pulse width modulation strategy. By aid of MATLAB/Simulink package a simulation experiment is established to verify the performance of the proposed technique.

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i1.pp61-68
Moslem Salehi , Ali Akbar Motie Birjandi
 Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be used to increase the damping of power system oscillation. The effect rate of this controller on increasing oscillation damping depends on the appropriate selection of input controlling signal, optimal selection of UPFC controlling parameters, and its proper position in power system. In this paper, the capability of different UPFC inputs is studied by utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) method and the best UPFC input controlling signal is selected. Supplementary control parameters are also optimally selected by PSO algorithm. This method's accuracy is simulated on a single-machine system connected to infinite bus.

Audio Watermarking Based on Hybrid Low and High Wavelet Frequencies

10.11591/ijict.v5i1.pp28-35
Aree Ali Mohammed
Transform-domain digital audio watermarking has a performance advantage over time-domain watermarking by virtue of the fact that frequency  transforms offer better exploitation of the human auditory system (HAS). In this research paper an adaptive audio watermarking is proposed based on the low and high wavelet frequencies band (LF, HF). The embedded watermark can be of any types of signal (text, audio and image). The insertion of the watermark data is performing in a frequency domain after applying discrete wavelet transformation on the cover audio segments. The normalize correlation and the signal to noise ratio metrics are used to test the performance of the proposed method in terms of the robustness and imperceptibility. Test results show that an improvement of the robustness against some type of attacks when the watermark is adaptively embedded in a different wavelet bands.
