Mohd Azman Rosli , Nor Zaihar Yahaya , Zuhairi Baharudin
The objective of this paper is to design a multi-input dc-ac inverter integrated photovoltaic array, wind turbine and fuel cell in order to simplify the hybrid power system and reduce the cost.  The output power characteristics of the photovoltaic array, wind turbine and fuel cell are introduced. The operational principle and technical details of the proposed multi-input dc-ac inverter is then explained. The proposed inverter consists of a three input flyback dc-dc converter and a single phase full bridge dc-ac inverter. The control strategy for the proposed inverter to distribute the power reasonably to the sources and it achieved a priority of the new energy utilization is discussed. This multi-input dc-ac inverter is capable of being operated in five conditions and power delivered to the ac load can be either individually or simultaneously. First to third condition occurs when the power delivered from either renewable energy sources individually, fourth condition happens when power is demanded from two sources simultaneously, and finally when power are available from three sources simultaneously. The proposed inverter has been simulated by employing NI Multisim 12.0 circuit simulator.

As technology development increase, human more use robot technology to help in many fields. One of robot technology advances is the flying robot Quadcopter. The quadcopter robot is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UAV that consists of four propellers and four brushless motors that function as actuator. Quadcopter was designed by using KK Board V 2.0 Flight Controller which is a series of motor rotation controller and all at once has Accelerometer censor as acceleration censor and Gyroscop censor as a balance or stability censor. The robot controlling is by using remote control (RC), and GoPro HD Hero2 camera was installed to monitor the condition of the environment. Result of testing is that the quadcopter has maximum load for 4.4 kg and maximum range distance of RC is 100 meters without any barrier and 50 meters with barrier.  In the testing, robot can fly with maximum height for 30 meters from land surface. The robot is equipped with camera, so the quadcopter flying robot can be used to monitor any places that are hard to reach.

Se-Hoon Jung , Jong-Chan Kim , Chun-Bo Sim
Various types of derivative information have been increasing exponentially, based on mobile devices and social networking sites (SNSs), and the information technologies utilizing them have also been developing rapidly. Technologies to classify and analyze such information are as important as data generation. This study concentrates on data clustering through principal component analysis and K-means algorithms to analyze and classify user data efficiently. We propose a technique of changing the cluster choice before cluster processing in the existing K-means practice into a variable cluster choice through principal component analysis, and expanding the scope of data clustering. The technique also applies an artificial neural network learning model for user recommendation and prediction from the clustered data. The proposed processing model for predicted data generated results that improved the existing artificial neural network–based data clustering and learning model by approximately 9.25%.

Noise Uncertainty Effect on a Modified Two-Stage Spectrum Sensing Technique

10.11591/ijeecs.v1.i2.pp341-348
Heba A.Tag El-Dien , Rokaia M. Zaki , Mohsen M. Tantawy , Hala M. Abdel-Kader
Detecting the presence or absence of primary user is the key task of cognitive radio networks. However, relying on single detector reduces the probability of detection and increases the probability of missed detection. Combining two conventional spectrum sensing techniques by integrating their individual features improves the probability of detection especially under noise uncertainty. This paper introduces a modified two-stage detection technique that depends on the energy detection as a first stage due to its ease and speed of detection, and the proposed Modified Combinational Maximum-Minimum Eigenvalue based detection as a second stage under noise uncertainty and comperes it with the case of using Maximum-Minimum Eigenvalue and  Combinational Maximum-Minimum Eigenvalue as a second stage.

On Sparse Compression Complexity of Speech Signals

10.11591/ijeecs.v1.i2.pp329-340
Ahmed Omara , Alaa Hefnawy , Abdelhalim Zekry
In this paper, we have addressed the issue of the sparse compression complexity for the speech signals. First of all, this work illustrated the effect of the signal length on the complexity levels of Matching Pursuit (MP) and Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithms. Also, this paper introduced a study of possibility to reduce that complexity by exploiting the shared atoms among the contiguous speech compressions. By comparing the shared atoms levels and a threshold level induced by an analytic model based on the both the central and non-central hyper-geometric distributions, we proved the ability of the shared atoms criterion to detect if there is biasing towards a subspace of atoms or not, and to decide if the biasing occurs due to the redundancy in the dictionary of atoms, or due to the redundancy in the signal itself. Moreover, we suggested a subspace bias-based approaches for complexity reduction called "Atoms Reuse" and "Active Cluster". Both methods exploits the higher levels of the shared atoms to reduce the compression complexity by reducing the search space during the pursuit iterations.

Generally utterances in natural language are highly ambiguous, and a unique interpretation can usually be determined only by taking into account the context in the utterance occurred. Automatically determining the correct sense of a polysemous word is a complicated problem especially in multilingual corpuses. This paper presents an application programming interface for several Semantic Relatedness/Similarity metrics measuring semantic  similarity/distance  between multilingual words  and  concepts, in order to use it after for sentences and paragraphs in Cross Language Plagiarism Detection (CLPD); using WordNet for the English-French and English-Arabic multilingual plagiarism cases.

A new method of charging a mobile phone with the help of hand crank generator, and solar panel is being presented in this paper. Solar panel is useful during daylight and hand crank generator can be used at night. So this is a dual mode charger which is operated in either way and both ways do not consume system power. This type of mobile charger is very useful when traveling because it uses solar panel to convert renewable source light into electricity. Mechanical hand crank generator is used which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and then charges the mobile. No electrical sources are needed for it. Our design uses a compound gear train for transformation of the mechanical energy generated from the hand crank to the generator. For that reason it is convenient as well as economical to use such kind of mobile charger for our mobile phone.

This paper presents a new approach for Loss of Excitation (LOE) faults detection in Hydro-generators using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System. The proposed scheme was trained by data from simulation of a 345kV system under various faults conditions and tested for different loading conditions. Details of the design process and the results of performance using the proposed technique are discussed in the paper. Two different techniques are discussed in this article according to the type of inputs to the proposed ANFIS unit, the generator terminal impedance measurements (R & X) and the generator RMS Line to Line voltage and Phase current (Vtrms & Ia). The two proposed techniques results are compared with each other and are compared with the traditional distance relay response in addition to other technique. The results show that the proposed Artificial Intelligent based technique is efficient in the Loss of Excitation faults (LOE) detection process and the obtained results are very promising.

Nonlinear Servomotor in Single Pulse Simulation of Electrical Discharge Machining System Modeling

10.11591/ijeecs.v1.i2.pp319-328

Electrical Discharge Machining, EDM is a nonconventional and high precision machining.  EDM system is considered a combination of servo system and EDM process. The servo system precisely controls the gap between electrode and workpiece for the continuous electrical discharges occurrence. Machining performance and stability depend on the performance of servo system. The EDM servo system usually modeled as a linear system, which ignores the nonlinearities of the motor. An assumption that the nonlinearities are insignificant in EDM system model may leads to modeling errors and result in poor control performance. In this study, nonlinear EDM servo system model was presented and the dynamic response of the model was analyzed and compared with the linear model. Simulation result shows a slightly difference in system response and a controller used in linear model is less efficient for a nonlinear EDM servo system model. The results are very useful for control strategy and can contribute to a better machining performance and stability of EDM applications.

Prediction of a New Cascaded Hybrid Multilevel Inverter with Less Device Count

10.11591/ijeecs.v1.i2.pp273-281
C.R. Balamurugan , S.P. Natarajan , R. Bensraj
Multilevel inverters have been opted for high power applications due to reduced harmonic distortion, less device voltage stress and modular structure. This work proposes new modified hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverter using auxiliary switch. This proposed inverter produces five levels output with five power devices and clamping diodes as a phase voltage and nine levels as a line voltage.The levels of the inverters are decided based on the phase voltage not on the line voltage. In this paper the performance of the proposed inverter are measured in terms of line voltage. However, by increase in the number of levels the proposed inverter with reduced number of switches produces low switching losses and improves the efficiency of the inverter. This method achieves the variation of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the inverter and output voltage is observed for various modulation indices. Simulation is performed using MATLAB-SIMULINK for line to line output voltage. Variable Amplitude Phase Disposition (VAPD) strategy provides output with relatively low distortion for all the strategies. It is also seen that VAPOD is found to perform better for all strategies since it provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage.
