Vital sign monitor is typical medical instrument for basic physiological measurement. Medical practitioner assesses a patient’s health condition by observing measurement results shown in display. In this research, we designed low cost, wireless, PC-based vital sign monitor. Signals captured in designed vital sign monitor are electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and body temperature. Captured data are transmitted via wireless LAN module so that medical practitioner is able to monitor patient’s condition remotely from another room or place. The system worked well for maximum transmission distance about 45 meters for LOS condition and 20 meter for NLOS condition.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i6.6429

Effect of Parasitic Elements on the Performance of Buck-Boost Converter for PV Systems

https://ijece.iaescore.com/index.php/IJECE/article/view/5537
Subramanya x Bhat , Nagaraja H N
In the proposed study, MOSFET device used in buck-boost converter for PV systems is studied. The parameter of MOSFET Rds(on) is varied and its effect on output voltage is studied. The parasitic elements in inductor and capacitor such as resistance on buck-boost converter performance are studied.  From the proposed study it has been found that the effect of parasitic resistance in capacitor is less as compared to parasitic resistance effect of inductor. Also the proposed study gives better insight into parasitic effect of Printed Circuit Board and losses incurred due to the same. In PV systems buck-boost converter is used to convert solar energy to electrical energy which is then stored in battery to drive the loads. These parasitic elements will have considerable effect on the performance of buck-boost converter such as efficiency and output voltage as validated by experimental results.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i6.6855

This study depicts the electric field distributions inside a typical 500/220 kV open distribution substation under actual loading conditions and during different working conditions, Hot-Stick position and Bar-Hand position. The electric field is investigated for different workers heights of 1m, 1.5m and 1.8m above ground during normal working condition (Hot-Stick position) inside this substation. This in addition to assessment of the electric field at a height levels of 8m, 11m, 14m and 17m above ground as positions for live line maintenance under 220 kV Busbars, 500 kV Busbars, 220 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders and 500 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders respectively. In this study the simulation results of the electric field obtained using three dimensional (3D) computer model for existing typical high voltage transformation substation are compared with field values measured inside this typical substation and presented and discussed not only in the form of contour maps but also in the form 3D surface and wireframe maps. The simulation results are good matched and agreed with measured values. This in addition to the electric field will be tabulated and compared to international guidelines for personnel exposure to electric field. This study will serve for planning service works or for inspection of equipment inside high voltage (HV) power transformation substations.

PMU-Based Transmission Line Parameter Identification at China Southern Power Grid

10.11591/ijape.v3.i3.pp190-198
Zhou Huafeng , Zhao Xuanyu , Shi Di , Zhao Huashi , Jing Chaoyang
China Southern Power Grid Company (CSG) recently developed and implemented an online PMU-based transmission line (TL) parameter identification system (TPIS). Traditionally, TL parameters are calculated based on transmission tower geometries, conductor dimension, estimates of line length, conductor sags, etc. These parameters only approximate the effect of conductor sag and ignore the dependence of impedance parameters on temperature variation. Recent development in PMU technology has made it possible to calculate TL parameters accurately. The challenges are that such application requires highly accurate PMU data while the accuracy of PMU measurements under different working/system conditions can be uncertain. With a large number of PMUs widely installed in its system, CSG plans to improve and update the EMS database using the newly developed TPIS. TPIS provides an innovative yet practical problem formulation and solution for TL parameter identification. In addition, it proposes a new metric that can be used to determine the credibility of the calculated parameters, which is missing in the literature. This paper discusses the methodologies, challenges, as well as implementation issues noticed during the development of TPIS.

Clustering Algorithm Combined with Hill Climbing for Classification of Remote Sensing Image

https://ijece.iaescore.com/index.php/IJECE/article/view/5510
B.Sai Chandana , K. Srinivas , R. Kiran Kumar
Clustering is an unsupervised classification method widely used for classification of remote sensing images.  As the spatial resolution of remote sensing images getting higher and higher, the complex structure is the simple objects becomes obvious, which makes the classification algorithm based on pixels being losing their advantages. In this paper, four different clustering algorithms such as K-means, Moving K-means, Fuzzy K-means and Fuzzy Moving K-means are used for classification of remote sensing images. In all the traditional clustering algorithms, number of clusters and initial centroids are randomly selected and often specified by the user. In this paper, a hill climbing algorithm for the histogram of the input image will generate the number of clusters and initial centroids required for clustering.   It overcomes the shortage of random initialization in traditional clustering and achieves high computational speed by reducing the number of iterations. The experimental results show that Fuzzy Moving K-means has classified the remote sensing image more accurately than other three algorithms.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i6.6608

10.11591/ijape.v3.i3.pp149-156
Abasalt Bodaghi , Naser Pargali
In this paper, a generalization to nonlinear systems is proposed and applied to the motor dynamic, rotor model and stator model in DC motor equation. We argue that Ulam-Hyers stability concept is quite significant in design problems and in design analysis for the class of DC motor’s parameters. We prove the stability of nonlinear partial differential equation by using Banach’s contraction principle. As an application, the Ulam-Hyers stability of DC motor dynamics equations is investigated. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time Ulam-Hyers stability is considered from the applications point of view.

Enhancing Photoelectric Conversion Efficiency of Solar Panel by Water Cooling

10.11591/ijape.v3.i3.pp199-204
M Mohamed Musthafa
Photovoltaic solar cell generates electricity by receiving solar irradiance. The electrical efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) cell is adversely affected by the significant increase of cell operating temperature during absorption of solar radiation. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by cooling the back side of the photovoltaic panel using water absorption sponge which  was fixed on of PV panel and maintain wet condition by circulation of drop by drop water. The objective of the present work is to reduce the temperature of  the solar cell in order to increase its electrical efficiency.  Experiments were performed with and without water cooling. A linear trend between the efficiency and temperature was found. Without cooling, the temperature of the panel was high and solar cells were achieved an efficiency of 8–9%. However, when the panel was operated under water cooling condition, the temperature dropped maximally by 40C leading to an increase in efficiency of solar cells by 12%.

In this paper, we adopted the area filling method of the mathematical morphology to fill the holes of the nut. In addition, the bimodal method and multi-threshold method were combined for the image segmentation. Furthermore, the image edge was detected by mathematical morphology algorithm. Finally, the angle between the bolt and manipulator was calculated using the rotation conversion matrix. With the systematic error and correlation coefficient, the calculated angle was verified. Experimental results show that the method can protect the edge integrity of the nut image, with fast processing speed and strong anti-noise ability. The work in this paper provides a theoretical basis for the automatic recognition in the large ball valve sealing bolt system.

Seyed Esmaeel Mirhosseini Niri , Abdolhossain Tahani , Mohammad Yazdani-Asrami , S. Asghar Gholamian
A wind turbine equipped with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is used in wind power plant industry. This paper studies the maximum power extraction of DFIG via evaluation of state-space equations in closed loop control condition for improving light-load efficiency. The DFIG state-space equations have been considered in the form of a multi-input- multi output (MIMO) system. Also, the tracing table has been used to determine the speed which the generated power will be proportional to the maximum load. The tracing table input is the generator speed, and its output is the optimum active power that has been considered as the reference power of the active power control system of the convertor. A controller is presented for the tracing table and the extracted power is able to follow the reference power with minimum ripple. Then, the results are compared with the single-input and single-output (SISO) case, for the values up to 0.2 times of the rated load. Therefore, in MIMO modeling, in the case that the DFIG connected to the grid, by eliminating the interaction effect, the efficiency in light-load can be increased.

Cuijie; Tianjin University of Finance and Economics Zhao , Guozhen; Bohai Professional and Technical College Wang
Currently, the method of optimizing the wavelet neural network with particle swarm plays a certain role in improving the convergence speed and accuracy; however, it is not a good solution for problems of turning into local extrema and poor global search ability. To solve these problems, this paper, based on the particle swarm optimization, puts forward an improved method, which is introducing the chaos mechanism into the algorithm of chaotic particle swarm optimization. Through a series of comparative simulation experiments, it proves that applying this algorithm to optimize the wavelet neural network can successfully solve the problems of turning into local extrema, and improve the convergence speed of the network, in the meantime, reduce the output error and improve the search ability of the algorithm. In general, it helps a lot to improve the overall performance of the wavelet neural network.

A New Algorithm for Detecting Local Community Based on Random Walk

10.12928/telkomnika.v12i4.438
Yueping; Shenzhen Polytechnic Li , Weikun; Shenzhen Institute of Information Technology Zheng
This paper presents one new algorithm for local community discovery. It employs a new vertex selection strategy which considers not only the boundary structure of candidate local community but also the probability which the investigated vertex will return to the candidate local community. A local random walk is adopted to compute this return probability which does not require the global information. We choose four algorithms for comparison which are the best ones existed by far. For better evaluation, the datasets include not only the computer generated graphs in standard benchmark but also the real-world networks which are classical ones in global community discovery. The experimental results show our algorithm outperforms the other ones on the computer generated graphs. The performance of our algorithm is approximately the same with the algorithm proposed by Luo, Wang and Promislow on real-world networks.

With respect to the problems of aggregation about group experts’ information and dynamic decision in DEMATEL(decision making trial and evaluation laboratory), a dynamic DEMATEL group expert decision-making method on intuitionistic fuzzy number(IFN) is presented. Firstly using IFN instead of original point estimates to reflect the experts’ preference, the group experts’ information are integrated horizontally at each period. Then the aggregation information at different periods are aggregated vertically again by dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (DIFWA) operator so as to obtain the dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy DEMATEL total relation matrix. Thirdly, through the analysis of center and reason degree, the positions of the various factors in the system are clear and definite, and the inner structure of system has been revealed. Finally, the feasibility and practicability of the proposed method is shown through an illustrative example of a process of course selection in a school.

The emergence of an RGB-D (Red-Green-Blue-Depth) sensor which is capable of providing depth and RGB images gives hope to the computer vision community. Moreover, the use of local features began to increase over the last few years and has shown impressive results, especially in the field of object recognition. This article attempts to provide a survey of the recent technical achievements in this area of research. We review the use of local descriptors as the feature representation which is extracted from RGB-D images, in instances and category-level object recognition. We also highlight the involvement of depth images and how they can be combined with RGB images in constructing a local descriptor. Three different approaches are used in involving depth images into compact feature representation, that is classical approach using distribution based, kernel-trick, and feature learning. In this article, we show that the involvement of depth data successfully improves the accuracy of object recognition.

A solar thermal technology which is also known as concentrating solar power (CSP) uses thermal energy from the sun to generate electricity. The electricity generation from solar thermal can be produced with four technologies of concentrating solar systems which are parabolic trough, linear Fresnel reflector, solar tower, and parabolic dish-Stirling engine system. This paper reviews the parabolic dish-stirling based on CSP technology by taking into account the performance, the global performance, site for parabolic dish and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Generally, the parabolic dish applications have barriers in terms of the technology and the high capital cost compared to the others CSP technologies.
