Optimal Placement of TCSC Based on Sensitivity Analysis for Congestion Management

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp2041-2047
Naga Raja Kumari.CH , K. Chendra Sekhar
In a deregulated electricity market whenever congestion management problem occurs, the network collapse because of voltage instability. In this paper total real and reactive power loss deviation based sensitivity indexes (PLDS and QLDS) with rank co-relation concept, has been proposed for the optimal location and operating range of TCSC device. With this placement  the power flow in over loaded overhead lines has been reduced and that results in an increased loadability of the power system and also improves the voltage stability and security and also solves the congestion management problem. So ultimately, a more energy efficient transmission system is possible. The case studies were conducted on IEEE 14 bus test system. The ensue corroborate the intended approach for social welfare maximization inreal time.

A Modulation Scheme for Floating Source Multilevel Inverter Topology with Increased Number of Output Levels

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp1985-1993
Hussain M. Bassi
This paper presented and studied a new switching scheme for floating source multilevel inverters to produce more levels with the same number of switching devices. In the proposed scheme, the function of the dc sources, except the inner one, is to build up square wave or blocks that is close in the shape to the desired sinusoidal wave. The job of the inner switching devices is to increase the number of the levels to produce smother sinusoidal wave in the inverter output. This job can be done by adding or subtracting the value of the inner dc source to/from the blocks. The topology used in this paper is based on the conventional floating source multi-level inverter using two legs. This topology and modulation technique show substantial reduction in the total harmonics distortion when the modulation technique is the hybrid method. The performance of the proposed switching scheme in generating more levels has been evaluated by PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

A Novel Approach to PID Controller Design for Improvement of Transient Stability and Voltage Regulation of Nonlinear Power System

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp2225-2238
Rekha Chaudhary , Arun Kumar Singh , Saligram Agrawal
In this paper, a novel design method for determining the optimal PID controller parameters for non-linear power system using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented. The direct feedback linearization (DFL) technique is used to linearize the nonlinear system for computing the PID (DFL-PID) controller parameters. By taking an example of single machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system it has been shown that PSO based PID controller stabilizes the system and restores the pre-fault system performance after fault is cleared and line is restored. The performance of this controlled system is compared with the performance of DFL-state feedback controlled power system. It has been shown that the performance of DFL-PID controlled system is superior compared to DFL-state feedback controlled system. For simulation MATLAB 7 software is used.

Stochastic Approach to a Rain Attenuation Time Series Synthesizer for Heavy Rain Regions

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp2379-2386
Masoud Mohebbi Nia , Jafri Din , Hong Yin Lam , Athanasios D. Panagopoulos
In this work, a new rain attenuation time series synthesizer based on the stochastic approach is presented. The model combines a well-known interest-rate prediction model in finance namely the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) model, and a stochastic differential equation approach to generate a long-term gamma distributed rain attenuation time series, particularly appropriate for heavy rain regions. The model parameters were derived from maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) methods. The predicted statistics from the CIR model with the OLS method are in good agreement with the measurement data collected in equatorial Malaysia while the MLE method overestimated the result. The proposed stochastic model could provide radio engineers an alternative solution for the design of propagation impairment mitigation techniques (PIMTs) to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) of wireless communication systems such as 5G propagation channel, in particular in heavy rain regions.

Bangladesh Perspective: Vehicle Speed Proposition System using Localized Wireless Identification

10.11591/ijece.v6i5.pp2134-2139
Md. Mamunoor Islam , Mehdi Hasan Chowdhury
Even in the era of advanced engineering, road accident has been a regular phenomenon causing death of many people in Bangladesh due to over speeding action of reckless drivers. There are several key places (such as schools, colleges, hospitals, highways and constructional areas etc.) where the speed of the vehicle should be lessened to avoid accidents. The roads and highways authority may place the speed limiter signboards in these areas to avoid these accidents, but these are frequently overlooked by the drivers. So this paper demonstrates a wireless forewarning system which will aid to control the speed of the vehicles at speed restricted areas. The whole system is established on the basis of radio frequency (RF) communication. There are two parts of this system named as transmitting unit and receiving unit. Each RF transmitter positioned on the roadside will be transmitting the code signal continuously. Whenever the vehicle enters the range of transmission, the RF receiver which is attached in the vehicle, will receive the signal and will display the information in a LCD monitor by notifying the driver to reduce the speed while going through that area.

Design of MPC for Superheated Steam Temperature Control in a Coal-fired Thermal Power Plant

10.11591/ijeecs.v4.i1.pp73-82
A. Yasmine Begum , G. V. Marutheeswar
A superheater is a vital part of the steam generation process in the boiler-turbine system. Reliable control of temperature in the superheated steam temperature system is essential to guarantee efficiency and high load-following capability in the operation of coal-fired Thermal power plant. The PI and PID controllers are extensively used in cascade control of secondary superheated steam temperature process.The design and implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for the superheated steam temperature regulation in a thermal power plant is presented. A FOPTD model  is derived from  the dynamic model of the superheater. This model is required by the MPC algorithm to calculate the future control inputs. A new MPC controller is designed and its performance is tested through simulation studies. Compared with the superheater steam temperature control using a conventional PID controller, the steam temperature controlled by the MPC controller is found to be more stable. The stable steam temperature leads to energy saving and efficient plant operation, as verified by the simulation results.

The characteristic of land and forest fires occurred in Indonesia are varied widely, following the variation of time within a year and geographic location. This paper describes how the spatio-temporal of forest and land fire typology was developed. The main objective of this study was to develop a spatio-temporal typology of forest and land fire by considering several key indicators that directly related to the density of active fire occurrence, such as percentage of forest area (x1), population density (x2), ratio of forest area to population (x3), ratio of plantation area to population (x4), ratio of agriculture area to population (x5), GRDP (x6), population growth (x7), deforestation growth (x8), plantation growth (x9) and dry agriculture growth (x10) as well as  MODIS-based fire hotspot. The typology analysis was performed using clustering techniques with Euclidean distance dissimilarity measure, where the grouping process was drawn with single linkage method. The temporal analysis showed that the highest occurrence of the fire hotspot was mainly found in the third quarter. It was found that the forest and land fire typology could be developed into three classes using variables x6 and x7 with overall accuracy of 78.15% or x1-x6-x7 with overall accuracy of 78.8%.  No accuracy improvement was obtained when the typology was developed using five variables x1-x3-x4-x6-x7.

Priyanka Kokil , Xavier Arockiaraj S
This paper establishes a criterion for the induced  stability of fixed-point state-space digital filters with saturation nonlinearities and external interference. The criterion is established in a linear matrix inequality (LMI) setting, and therefore, computationally tractable. The criterion turns out to be an improvement over a previously reported criterion. A comparison of the presented criterion with existing criterion is made. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.

Performance Analysis of SMES Integrated with Offshore Wind Farms to Power Systems through MT-HVDC

10.11591/ijeecs.v4.i1.pp1-9
Mohammed A. Badr , Ahmed M. Atallah , Mona A. Bayoumi
With the increase in the development of offshore wind farm (OWF) around the world, this paper describes OWF consisting of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbines connected to Active network (AC grid) and Passive network (loads) through Multi Terminal High voltage direct current(MT-HVDC) transmission system. This paper discusses the effect of using a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) unit in a hybrid power system that contains OWF. In this paper, we have aggregated 300 wind turbines of 1.5 MW PMSG using an aggregation technique (multi full aggregated model using equivalent wind speed (MFAM_EWS)). Furthermore, we have used a detector to detect any tripping of any wind turbine and substitute the shortage of power due to this loss of wind turbines immediately through SMES. The Active network in this paper should have a minimum of 150 MW power to be supplied by controlling the SMES unit (absorbing or providing power according to the system requirement). Simulation has been carried out by MATLAB/Simulink program to test the effectiveness of the SMES unit during tripping some of the wind turbines, fluctuation in wind speeds, load change and voltage dips.

This paper reports on the selection of insulating material types in a developed atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasma jet (ANPJ-II) device which was operated previously in our laboratory based on the minimum erosion area of the insulator’s nozzle. Three identical insulator groups used in our experiment include; Teflon insulator material with different thicknesses of 1.5 mm and 2 mm respectively, and Ceramic insulating material with thickness of 2 mm. ANPJ-II device is operated with each of the three insulator groups. These insulators are operated and analyzed with different operation times for compressed Air or Nitrogen gas with a flow rate of 12 L/min and input voltage of 6 kV.  The erosion area of these insulator materials is measured as a function of the operation time. The Ceramic insulator was found to have the minimum erosion area. Also, the temperature of both the cathode and the insulating material (Teflon or Ceramic) are measured to study the effect of operation time and the gas type on the device components.

The objective of this present article is to describe the record of the ECG 12-lead examination in order to obtain the peaks of the P, Q, R, S and T from each cycle and also to present the Peak of the PQRST and the trajectory path of each cycle of the ECG 12- lead wave. The duration of the peak R to another is used as the period  of each cycle, while the Phytagoras theorem is employed to count the trajectory path of the wave in each step. The Peak PQRST is utilized to diagnose the  heart condition, and the trajectory path  is the distance taken up by the impulses in the heart muscles. The discrete data from the MIT-BIH and the results of the measurement itself are employed as the data to obtain the values of the peak PQRST and the trajectory path of the wave of each cycle.
