M.N. Mamat, M.F. Zainal Abidin
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5701
Abstract: This paper presents an optimized and enhanced DC-DC converter design for 20V output for portable instrument application. The proposed design is based on isolated push pull topology switched mode power supply. Self- driven synchronous rectification (SDSR) is introduced in the rectification stage in order to create an improved way of rectifying process. N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFETs are used to simplify the synchronous rectification control circuit. Both MOSFETs offer ultra low On-resistance which can be used to achieve higher efficiency than the conventional converter. This converter operates at high speed switching frequency to gain high power-to-volume ratio. In addition, minimum deadtime is set in the design to ensure high efficiency in input-output power transfer. Passive low pass filter is implemented to produce ripple free output voltage in the design. The finalize topology which is push pull with self-driven synchronous rectification is constructed using simple control circuit but maintains good efficiency in its operation. Experimental results show that the proposed converter reacts very well with the self-driven synchronous rectification method. Input voltage is set at 12V and switching frequency is set at 30 kHz in order to minimize the switching stress and conduction losses. Practical implementation of the converter shows that the converter operates at a maximum efficiency of 84.1% and only produces 50mVp-p ripple output voltage which is considered good for a regulated DC output.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5702
Abstract: In present day, the increasing reliance on computer systems has led to the dependence on confidential security measures. Various methods used to identify a user are Digital signature, Challenge-Response, Biometrics, IPSec (Internet Protocol Security), Single- Sign On and Password. Password has become one of the most ubiquitous modern day security tool and is very commonly used for authentication. These passwords are string of characters used for authentication or user access. Unfortunately users set passwords that can be easily memorized, in turn increasing threats. Password meters indicating password strength are used to increase effectiveness of passwords and make them less predictable. Biometrics on the other hand requires the assumption of unrealistic preconditions for performance gain. Access control systems require time-trusted and reliable personal recognition. To overcome the problems faced by these processes individually, we can use a combination of two or more security processes. Two-factor authentication has ameliorated security in authentication systems. Sensitive files can be provided double protection using Rijndael security extension and Mobile Bluetooth tokens. This paper will mainly present the improvement in windows password policies using a combination of mobile Bluetooth and Rijndael encryption.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5703
Abstract: Various techniques are used for the dispersion compensation of the fiber and two of them are Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) and Optical Phase Conjugation (OPC). In this paper the performance of the system is analyzed by comparing various results at the receiver. A 10Gb/s NRZ signal is launched onto a 100 km long Single Mode Fiber (SMF). Then fiber length is increased by increasing number of fiber spans. The length is varied up to 500 km. Results in the terms of eye diagram, BER, Q-factor are shown and it can be seen that results of a system which consist of OPC are enhanced because of proper dispersion compensation.

Compensation of Dispersion in Optical Communication Systems using DCF and FBG Methods
P.V.N.D.K. Kishore, K. Lakshmi Bhavani
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5705
Abstract: Dispersion is a property of optical fiber, which causes spreading of light within the core of the optical fiber due to propagation delay spread of different spectral components of the transmitted signal which leads to pulse broadening of transmitted signal. Since the optical fibers will transfer the information at very high speeds, due to pulse broadening the Bit error rate (BER) is high and quality of the received signal at the receiver is very poor. In order to receive the signal with better quality that means with low Bit error rates (BER) we need to compensate the Dispersion property of the optical fibers. In this paper, Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF), Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) methods are used to compensate the dispersion in optical fibers. Pre, post and symmetric compensation techniques are the three different techniques in DCF method of dispersion compensation, all and these techniques are analyzed by using Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF) and normal Single Mode Fiber (SMF).

Available Transfer Capability based Transmission Pricing Using optimal Power Flow Approach in Deregulated Electricity Market
Juily N. Sukalkar, Dr. Sanjay Warkad
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5707
Abstract: Before deregulation there was only single entity to generate and distribute electricity in an area. Due to this monopoly, the price of electricity was on the higher side and also the quality of electricity was not satisfactory. This scenario changes after the deregulation of power industry. The competition arises in generation and distribution. But the transmission corridor remains the same for transferring the power. Every operator wants to maximize their profit. Due to this the number of transactions increases. This may cause congestion in transmission network. To avoid congestion, every operator should know the value of ATC before every transaction. The aim of this paper is to develop an Optimal Power Flow based approach to analyse electrical Transfer capability using Power Transfer Distribution Factor. Also Available Transfer Capability Based Transmission Pricing is evaluated. The above said methodology is applied on IEEE 30 bus system.
Keywords: Optimal Power flow, Transmission Pricing, Deregulation, Available Transfer capability.

K. Madasamy, M. Ramaswami
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5709
Abstract: Processing very large amounts of data with the traditional conventional database systems are no longer able to handle such a data in an effective manner and practically now obsolete. Due to the introduction of new automated systems and Internet of Things (IoT), accumulation of massive size of the data through heterogeneous sources with unstructured or semi-structured form is quite obvious. To cope up with the current scenario of big data processing needs, Hadoop MapReduce is being the widely preferred choice among many organizations. With the recent growth of cloud computing paradigm, on-demand distributed and parallel data intensive processing is much cheaper and easier on the cloud. The objective of this research paper is to measure the execution time on different sizes of text files by performing a simple MapReduce simulation on the word count program which is very popular in the Big data and Text mining arena. Also, an improved version of the word count program has been designed and variants of word count programs have been tested and simulated on Amazon EC2 Cloud environment. A comparative study of both methods has been carried out and critically reviewed.

Gauri B. Maske, Prof. S. B. Mule
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5710
Abstract: As per increasing demand of higher data rate with error free communication network, a combination of MIMO-OFDM is used. To fulfill the demands of separate and independent data transmission a new technique called Markov Chain is proposed. Since, Markov Chain uses independent channels there are less possibilities of Inter Channel Interference (ICI) and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI). Different fading channels are considered for BER calculation. Error rate calculation helps user to decide the efficient channel for data transmission. This will result into flexible and user friendly communication network.
Negative Sequence Voltage Magnitude based Unsynchronized Fault Location on Three Terminal Lines
Anuradha Amireddy, Kishore Kumar Pedapenki
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5711
Abstract: Accurate fault locating on transmission lines is of great value to the power transmission operators. Most micro-processor based relays implement fault location using different impedance based methods. This paper describes an approach for the estimation of fault based on negative sequence voltage magnitude at both ends of the faulted circuit. A two-ended fault location method is used for estimating the fault distance measurement accuracy by using the data of two ends of the line to revoke the effect of fault resistance & mutual coupling between the negative sequence components of the two circuits since negative sequence circuit is considered. The two-ended method locates the unsymmetrical faults independent of fault classification & pre-fault conditions. Study of this work can be analysed using unsynchronized fault location for three terminal lines. Based on unsynchronized measurements, fault estimation is tested for different cases. Fault location will be modelled using lumped parameter & PI model & is implemented in MATLAB environment.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5714
Abstract: Digital image processing is widely used for image processing like feature extraction, segmentation, pattern recognition, etc. Edge detection, within image processing is a basic tool used to obtain information from the frame for feature extraction and object segmentation. The purpose of edge detection is to reduce the amount of data in an image significantly and to preserve the structural properties for further processing of image. It plays a vital role in image processing for finding out the boundaries in an image. Sobel operator is a gradient based operator which is used in edge detection of an image which creates accenting edges of an image. The image pixels are read by MATLAB and processed in Xilinx to find the gradient. This project presents implementation of sobel edge detection using MATLAB- XILINX co-simulation, thus solving the problem of image processing using HDL.

An Islanding Detection of Reactive Power Disturbance and Circuit Breaker System
Deepa C R, C R Sharada Prasad
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5716
Abstract: An islanding detection method for inverter-based distributed generators (DGs) is presented, which is based on perturbing reactive power output. Two sets of disturbances are configured in this method, which have different amplitudes and duration time. The first set of reactive power disturbance (FSORPD) is periodic with small amplitudes to break the reactive power balance during islanding, whereas the magnitude of the second set of reactive power disturbance (SSORPD) is sufficient to force the frequency to deviate outside its threshold limits. Considering all the possible frequency variation characteristics with the FSORPD after islanding, three criterions are designed for switching the disturbance from the FSORPD to the SSORPD. Since DGs located at different positions have the same frequency variation characteristics, the SSORPDs can be added on different DGs at the same time without the need of communication. Therefore, synchronization of the SSORPDs can be guaranteed for the system with multiple DGs and the method can detect islanding with a zero non-detection zone (NDZ) property. According to the anti-islanding test system recommended in IEEE Std.929-2000 and IEEE Std.1547-2003, in the effectiveness of the method has been validated with several case studies in mat lab simulation.
Keywords: Inverter based distribution generation, reactive power disturbance, islanding detection, circuit breaker.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5717
Abstract: In this article we refer to the application of evolutionary algorithm (EA) to solve the problem of optimum power flow in an efficient way. In this article we propose a new approach that uses the Particle Swarm Optimization search method (PSO) and Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) to solve the problem through the optimal configuration of the control variables. This technique is a population based stochastic optimization technique inspired by social behavior of bird flocking or fish schooling, capable to solve large-scale non convex optimization problems like OPF. Objective function such as minimization of fuel cost is considered for optimum distribution of active power, respectively. The proposed method is implemented and evaluated in the IEEE 30-bus 6 generators system. The results of the proposed simulation approach are compared with those reported in the literature. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach, and demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness to solve the OPF problem.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5722
Abstract: Energy demand increases rapidly, utilization of renewable energy resources plays an important role in narrowing down the supply-demand difference. Introduction of more power electronic devices and non-linear loads pollutes the grid and create power quality problems. Both the scarcity of energy problem and power quality problem can be solved by using the grid connected PV system based four wire STATCOM. This paper demonstrates the power quality problem due to installation of solar panel with the grid. In this proposed scheme Static Compensator (STATCOM) is connected at a point of common coupling (PCC) to mitigate the power quality issue of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The STATCOM control scheme for the grid connected PV energy system for power quality improvement is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK in power system block set. The STATCOM is controlled on the basis of PQ based hysteresis control of STATCOM. Thus with such a control, a balanced linear load appears at the grid with the combination of STATCOM and 3-phase 4-wire linear/non-linear unbalanced load.
