Ki Sun Han, Moon Gyu Jeong, Jeong Phil Lee
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5501
Abstract: In this paper, a robust supplementary controller of thyristor-controlled phase shifter(TCPS) using H control theory has been designed to damp power system oscillation and to enhance power system stability despite uncertainties of the power systems. Since an order of a designed controller using H control theory become very high, a structure-specified low-order TCPS controller using genetic algorithm (GA) has been designed. In order to treat disturbance attenuation and robust stability specifications simultaneously in the stage of H controller design using GA, two weighting transfer functions have been selected. The H norm and damping ratio have been used as the objective function in GA. To verify control performance of proposed TCPS controller, the modal analysis and nonlinear simulations for one-machine infinite bus system have been performed. The simulation results under various disturbances for various operating conditions showthat the proposed TCPS controller provided better dynamic responses in comparison with the conventional PSS and TCPS controller.
Keywords: Thyristor-controlled phase shifter (TCPS), H control theory, genetic algorithm (GA), robust control, power system stabilizer (PSS).

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5504
Abstract: An Efficient tunable subthreshold logic circuit designed by using adaptive feedback equalization circuit. This circuit used in Ladner Fischer adder. This circuit used in a sequential digital logic circuit to mitigate the process variation effects and reduce the dominant leakage energy component in the subthreshold region. Feedback equalizer circuit adjusts the switching threshold of its inverter. It is based on the output of the flip-flop in the previous cycle to reduce the charging and discharging time of the flip-flop’s input capacitance. Moreover, the smaller input capacitance of the feedback equalizer reduces the switching time of the last gate in the combinational logic block. Also present detailed energy-performance models of the adaptive feedback equalizer circuit. Proposed approach can reduce the normalized variation of the critical path delay while reducing the energy product at minimum energy supply voltage. This design will be implemented in the 8 bit Ladner Fischer adder and provide the efficient power reduction. The adaptive equalization circuits are design by Verilog HDL and simulated by Modelsim.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5509
Abstract: A major challenge facing healthcare organizations is the provision of quality services at affordable costs. Quality service implies diagnosing patients correctly and administering treatments that are effective. Poor clinical decisions can lead to disastrous consequences which are therefore unacceptable. Hospitals must also minimize the cost of clinical tests. They can achieve these results by employing appropriate computer-based information. Most hospitals today employ some sort of hospital information systems to manage their healthcare or patient data. Clinical decisions are often made based on doctors’ intuition and experience rather than on the knowledge rich data hidden in the database. The main objective of this research is to develop a Intelligent Diabetic Retinopathy Prediction System using Naive Bayes.

R. Abisha Herline, Mr. S. Darwin
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5510
Abstract: The Tunnel FET is a new type of transistor. To overcome the large leakage current and Short channel effects (SCEs) of MOSFET, Tunnel FETs are used today. The structure of TFET is approximately similar to MOSFET, however with different switching mechanism. Switching of TFET is done by modulating quantum tunneling through a barrier instead of modulating thermionic emission over a barrier as in traditional MOSFETs. TFET has low leakage current and small subthreshold swing (SS) than MOSFET. To improve the ON current and to reduce the leakage current, we are using high-k dielectric materials as gate oxide. In this paper, we propose and validate a novel design for the semiconductor devices with high-k dielectric materials and also the performance is compared for the Double Gate TFET (DG-TFET) by using different gate dielectric materials.
Abstract: Grid Tied Smart Solar Energy Management System (SEMS) is a combination of solar power, grid power, energy software and power storage. It is an alternative to a conventional solar charge controller. The main idea is to develop an intelligent algorithm which enables SEMS to extract maximum power from solar to meet electricity needs. It will function according to its defined intelligent algorithm which controls the solar, batteries and grid combination so that maximum power is always extracted from solar. If the solar energy is not sufficiently available to drive the load or to charge the batteries effectively, then the intelligent algorithm takes the energy from the grid either to charge the batteries or to drive the load. Implementation of SEMS includes designing of a smart charge controller with a view to charge the battery efficiently on time by providing supply from solar or grid lines. The complex algorithm present inside the controller takes care of a load management and improves theefficiency of a entire system. Hence making energy management system smarter.

Abstract: Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a developing implementation technology for the development of low power, low area, and highly efficient digital circuits. QCA is an alternative technology to Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) because CMOS has scaling limitations which leads to high leakage power. QCA is a transistor less implementation model. To date, the cost function is a more important parameter to be compared to various circuits within QCA design. Such cost function includes delay, the number of QCA majority gates and types of crossovers used. The area is the major parameter to be compared to various circuits between CMOS and QCA design. In this paper, new XOR and Binary to Gray code converter are proposed. The proposed circuits are designed in both CMOS and QCA technologies. The CMOS technology results obtained from Tanner 16.3 software and QCA results obtained from QCA Designer tool. The paper shows the performance analysis of proposed XOR and Binary to Gray code converter are efficient in terms of cost function when compared to existing QCA designs of above circuits. Also the analysis shows that above QCA designed circuits are efficient in terms of the area when compared to CMOS technology.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5513
Abstract: The analysis of fractional system model is very complicated and tedious. From literature it has been clear that for study of fractional system one should have very deep knowledge about this system. To overcome this problem fractional system approximation techniques are developed. In this chapter Oustaloup’s approximation method has been used for approximating the fractional system. The approximated model of fractional system will be of very large order and again new problem arises that the controller designed for approximated model will be of very higher order. Hence controller designed will be very costly and larger in size. Thus Model Order Reduction Technique has been used to overcome from this problem. Using MOR the order of approximated model should be reduced and then reduced order controller has been designed for fractional order system.

Neha GL, Dr. Basavaraja Banakara
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5516
Abstract: When smart grids are introduced, we tend to expect growth both in production at lower voltage levels and in new sorts of consumption. A number of these new sorts of consumption can emit power-quality disturbances and therefore they will scale back grid potency. Major disturbance that causes hindrance within the system is harmonic distortion. The pure sinusoidal wave shape generated by electrical utilities is distorted by the harmonics produced attributable to augmented use of non linear loads. However, it provides rise to additional distortions in current and voltage waveforms on the ac power systems and pollutes the system. Understanding and solving issues becomes possible with the right data and interpretation. An adequate power quality guarantees the required compatibility between all equipment connected to the grid. It is thus a crucial issue for the successful and efficient operation of existing as well as future grids. Therefore a improved version of technology is required to eliminate harmonic distortions within the system and so as to improve the system performance .This paper presents a control technique equipped with VSI operated in current controlled mode with hysteresis control in order to eliminate harmonics and improve power quality of system. And FFT analysis is carried out to analyze the reduction in total harmonic distortion after enabling the operation of control technique.
Keywords: Total Harmonic distortion, power quality, FFT (Fast Fourier transform), VSI (Voltage source inverter).

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5518
Abstract: Sub threshold (leakage or cut-off) currents are a necessary in traditional VLSI design methodologies. Ultra- low power applications such as micro-sensor networks, pacemakers, and many portable devices require extreme energy constraints for longer battery life. Increasing the battery life can provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Traditionally, reducing the power supply voltage is regarded as the most effective means of reducing power consumption. Therefore, digital circuits operating in the sub threshold region offer a promising solution for emerging portable applications that require tremendously low energy consumption. The proposed work is to compare the performance of various CMOS circuits such as inverter, Half adder, Full adder between conventional conduction and sub threshold conduction in terms of power and delay. As a result the circuits under sub threshold conduction is efficient than conventional because power of sub threshold circuit is less than conventional circuit. The circuits are design using tanner tool.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5526
Abstract: OFDM is the combination of both multiplexing and modulation. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered for wideband transmission to mitigate intersymbol interference and enhance system capacity. The main principle of an OFDM is the insertion of Guard Intervals over a multipath fading channel, where two ways are possible; one method being Zero Padding and another being addition of Cyclic Prefix. This paper is mainly focused on the significance of cyclic prefix. Also, the combination of OFDM with MIMO is one of the most promising candidates for future communication systems, ranging from wireless LAN to broadband access, which is presently under study. This paper starts with comparisons of OFDM using QPSK and QAM on different channels, followed by modeling the MMSE estimators through a 4× 𝟒 MIMO system on MATLAB. Inthe end, results of different simulations are compared to conclude that MMSE algorithm provides comparatively better results with the implementation of MIMO-OFDM system.
Abstract: Hardware–in-loop (HIL) simulation is a technique which allows the development and testing of Electronic Control Module (ECM) virtually in the real time domain in order to analyse or overlook the behaviour & performance of various sensors and actuators/loads present inside the Doser. Testing done by using the HIL approach reduces the overall cost, manual efforts and overall testing time as compared to manual testing to a greater extent. This paper describes the case study to automate the Failure Mode Effects Tests (FMET) and Regression Tests of Doser System where a HIL technique is invoked for the authentication and affirmation of the performance of the Doser. The system is developed by using Load-Box User Interface System (LUIS) hardware and Digital FMET box which auto-simulate fault conditions for various sensors like Pump Unit Temperature Sensor, Mixed Air Pressure Sensor, NOx sensor, Selective Catalyst Reduction Inlet (SCR) Temperature Sensor and actuators like Internal Metering Valve (IMV), Bypass Valve (BPV), Air Shutoff Valve (ASOV). The conventional manual FMET testing is time-consuming and prone to various manual errors. Thus to reduce the time and manual errors and to increase the overall efficiency the fully automated test bench is developed. The test bench uses National Instruments (NI) Test stand for writing test sequence scripts to fully automate the manual FMET and regression tests. The developed automated test bench deliver faster test results with reduced manual errors, reduced man power and improved cost saving.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5528
Abstract: Insulators or dielectrics plays an important role in the high voltage power equipment. Various types of insulators are used in high voltage (HV) electrical power systems to protect the power equipments. For the purpose of safety and better efficiency, insulators should be kept in a healthy condition during its operation . As the insulators are not pure due to presence of impurities and cavities inside the insulators, the local electrical breakdown known as partial discharge (PD) takes place due to the High Voltage stresses. It is well evident that most of the insulation failure is caused due to the partial discharge in the insulation material. It gradually degrades the properties of the material which further become the major cause of the failure of the insulation. In this paper, simulation of partial discharge is done using MATLAB for Rubber as insulation material. All the simulation work is done on Rubber which is a solid insulation material. In this study, the dependency of partial discharge on the permittivity of the insulation material is tried to be analyzed with the help of void model made in the very well-known software “MATLAB”.
Keywords: Permittivity of the insulation material, Partial Discharge (PD), Void model, MATLAB, Solid insulation sample, Void, HV (high voltage), Ca, Cb, Cc.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5529
Abstract: Most serious failure of power equipment is due to the insulation breakdown. Partial Discharge (PD) phenomenon that damages insulation by gradual erosion is major source of insulation failure. In high voltage engineering studies, partial discharge (PD) is an electrical discharge that is localized in nature and partially joins the insulation present in between the conductors and that may or may not happen next to a conductor. So, partial discharge (PD) phenomenon is an important tool for improving the reliability of HV insulation systems. Accurate simulating of PD is more important for insulation study. In this project, partial discharges mechanism in solid dielectric material will be modeled using Simulink in MATLAB® software. In this work, for the analysis of actual PD activity inside the insulator with respect to the application of high voltage using MATLAB Simulink software an electrical circuit model of a Teflon as an insulator with a cubical void as an impurity is taken.
Keywords: Partial discharge (PD), void, Highvoltage (HV), Ca, Cb and Cc.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5530
Abstract: In power generation industry, there is a huge demand regarding variation of Customer requirements/ feedback which needs of developing and modifying the software scripts. Adding Genset functions in software script causes Genset memory capacity on brink and it will be insufficient to add more smart functions to the Genset. Therefore in order to suffice the latest market needs, memory expansion is vital for the legitimate performance of the Genset. Further these causes heavy load on the framework of a Genset function and thus increases the execution time which may decline the performance of the Genset. This paper describes about the implementation of external memory and the intense approach reducing the execution time with the help of Throughput test setup. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing approach in the design of power electronics i.e. throughput setup is used which gives the real time simulation environment. Moreover, the setup interprets the particular task in a framework having overload task affecting the performance.In addition, generate the Throughput log of Memory expanded Genset boards in the database system for comparison and use it to correlate with existing Genset boards to review the „unskipped frame‟ for achieving the goal of zero failure. Thus, obtaining the lower Throughput value eventually reduces the execution time for consistent behavior of Gensets. Finally, the canny way of Throughput testing for Memory Expansion of Genset is summarized here.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5532
Abstract: Text Extraction plays a major role in finding vital and valuable information. Text extraction involvesdetection, localization, tracking, binarization, extraction, enhancement and recognition of the text fromthe given image. These text characters are difficult to be detected and recognized due to their deviation ofsize, font, style, orientation, alignment, contrast, complex coloured, textured background. Due to rapidgrowth of available multimedia documents and growing requirement for information, identification,indexing and retrieval, many researches have been done on text extraction in images. Several techniqueshave been developed for extracting the text from an image. The proposed methods were based onmorphological operators, wavelet transform, artificial neural network, skeletonization operation, edgedetection algorithm, histogram technique etc. All these techniques have their benefits and restrictions. This article discusses various schemes proposed earlier for extracting the text from an image. This paperalso provides the performance comparison of several existing methods proposed by researchers inextracting the text from an image.

Abstract: Partial discharge represents a physical phenomenon. In high voltage (HV) electrical power system, different kinds of solid, liquid and gaseous materials are being used for insulation purpose to protect the incipient failure inside the HV power equipment. Among these the solid insulation is widely used for high voltage power equipments. Partial discharge is nothing but localized electrical discharge that only partially bridges the insulation between conductors and which may or may not occur adjacent to a conductor [3]. It indicates the presence of an imperfection within the insulation. The magnitude of these discharges though small, can cause progressive deterioration and ultimate failure.In this paper, simulation work is done with the solid insulation material, simulation of partial discharge is done using MATLAB with different insulation material.. In this paper, the dependency of partial discharge on the permittivity of the insulation material is tried to be analyzed with the help of cubical void model made in the very well-known software “MATLAB”. The simulation process is meant tocreate a better understanding of the characteristic of partial discharge in solid dielectric material. This project is focus on the result of the partial discharges indifferent insulation material.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5535
Abstract: An important tool for improving the reliability of high voltage (HV) insulation systems are partial discharge (PD) measurements. Partial Discharge (PD) that damages insulation by gradual erosion is major source of insulation failure. In electrical engineering, partial discharge (PD) is a localized dielectric breakdown of a small portion of a solid or fluid electrical insulation system under high voltage stress, which does not bridge the space between two conductors. So, an important tool for improving the reliability of HV insulation systems are partial discharge (PD) measurements. Accurate simulating of PD is more important for insulation study. In this paper, the mechanism of PD has been simulated by using MATLAB simulink.

Mr. Shailendra R Ambhore, Prof K. Chandra Obula Reddy
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5537
Abstract: This paper proposes a new seven level inverter with a solar power generation system, which is composed of a dc-dc power converter and a new seven level inverter. The dc-dc power converter integrates a boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into independent voltage sources with multiple relationships. The most commonly used solar cell model is introduced and the generalized PV model using Matlab/simulink is developed. Taking the effect of solar intensity and cell temperature, the characteristics of PV model is simulated. This model can be used for analysis of PV characteristics and for simulation with Maximum power point tracking algorithms. This new seven level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a full bridge power converter. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output voltage sources of dc/dc power converter into a three level dc voltage, and the full bridge converter further converts this three level dc voltage into seven level ac voltage. The proposed system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the utility voltage and is fed into the utility. Some of the advantages are that the output waveform were improved since new seven level produced nearly sinusoidal output voltage waveforms, hence the total harmonic distortion also low. The switching losses also become less. And, the filter needed to smooth the output voltage is small; hence, the system is compact, lighter and much cheaper.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5540
Abstract: This paper presents an improvement technique for the power quality of the electrical part of a wind generation system with a Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) which aims to optimize the utilization of wind power injected into weak grids. To realize this goal, an uncontrolled rectifier-digitally controlled inverter system is proposed. The advantage of the proposed system is its simplicity due to fewer controlled switches which leads to less control complexity. It also provides full control of active and reactive power injected into the grid using a voltage source inverter (VSI) as a dynamic volt ampere reactive (VAR) compensator. A voltage oriented control (VOC) scheme is presented in order to control the energy to be injected into the grid. In an attempt to minimize the harmonics in the inverter current and voltage and to avoid poor power quality of the wind energy conversion system (WECS), an LC filter is inserted between VOC VSI and the grid. MPPT controllers used for extracting maximum possible power in WECS. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB Simulink.

Abstract: The principle extent of this anticipate is to build up a remote innovation based air cushion vehicle framework controlled utilizing android. An air cushion vehicle, otherwise called an air-pad vehicle or ACV, is a specialty equipped for going over area, water, mud or ice and different surfaces. Air cushion vehicle are crossover vessels worked by a pilot as an air ship instead of a skipper as a marine vessel. It is presently utilized all through the world as particular transports in a fiasco alleviation, coastguard, military and review applications and additionally for game or traveler administration. Large forms have been utilized to transport several individuals and vehicles over the English Channel, whilst others have military applications used to transport tanks, troopers and vast gear in threatening situations and landscape A hovercraft is a non wheeled vehicle that can hover over land as well as water easily using high powered fans and aerodynamic design. We here propose an advanced hovercraft that uses high rpm motors interfaced with an avr family microntroller to achieve desired functionality. The motor below hovercraft rotates at a very high RPM that allows it to generate a force enough to make it hover on the surface thus reducing the friction below it to minimum. Then we use the motor propeller mounted behind it to push the hovercraft in forward direction. Now we also need to use a servo motor attached to the hovercraft rudder that helps the hovercraft to move in desired directions by bending the air at accurate angles. The system works collectively to hover while continuously managing servo as well as propeller motor to drive the hovercraft as desired. Now to control the hovercraft we here use an android application. The android application sends movement commands to the hovercraft circuit. The circuit consists of an Bluetooth receiver to receive and process these commands. The commands received by receiver are now processed by the microcontroller and it then operates all three motors accordingly as desired by the user.

Abstract: Now day’s portability is most important. So to achieve this, we are designing such a system which can carry anywhere. Using this system we can not only transfer the data but also we can see the transfer of the particular file which we want to send by using LCD display. Now a days to transfer a data between two pen drives we use PC or laptop, but it is not always possible to carry such a large device only for the data transfer. So to overcome this problem we design a system which is more compact. In our project we are transferring the data between two pen drives without using any computers or laptops. Whenever we insert two pen drives in to the USB port of Raspberry Pi, this can be done by giving the command to the processor. The processor indicates that the pen drive is inserted successfully till the user can not send any command to processor, the operation cannot start. After sending the particular command to processer, the processer will start fetching the data from source pen drive into buffer and the ARM processor wait for the signal from destination pen drive. When the processors get the signal from destination pen drive, so the data transfer operation begins. Only the ARM processor should get the external hard key input signal from the user

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5544
Abstract: The venture has been intended to shield of against single phasing and temperature rise of an induction motor. Given an insurance framework is vital in enterprises, utilizing part of motors with the end goal that generation is not hampered inferably from disappointment of any motor. The essential thought for the advancement of this venture was to give security to the mechanical motor/pump/lift Motor and so on. On the off chance, out of the 3 phasesif any of the phases out of the three phases is missing or if the temperature of the motor body amid operation surpasses the upper limit set up by the manufacturer, motor immobilizes immediately. The framework utilizes a 3-Phase mechanism supply where three single phase transformers are associated with it. In the event that any of the phase isn’t accessible, the energy is being stopped by the corresponding transformer. This prompted one out of the four transformers being exchanged OFF. The principle hand-off which was being controlled through an arrangement of four transformers getsseparated in view of one hand-off not being fuelled. Consequently the fundamental. Hand off that conveyed 3 phase supply to the motor gets separated. For sensing the temperature of the motor body a thermistor has been attached to the protection circuit. Under some particular circumstances when the temperature of the motor rises above certain limit the fourth transformer gets disconnected. Further the venture could have been upgraded by utilizing sensors of current for protection against terminated load and phase grouping sensor for shielding the motor from applying incorrect phase sequence.

Nano Grid Based Smart Homes With Electricity Production & Trading Facility

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5546
Abstract: When building houses, office structures or modern plants, financial specialists are concerned about the development costs, as well as more regularly at the future expenses of utilization. They can put more in the first place, to make sure that before long the venture will pay itself back and begin bringing benefits. Considering such speculators decentralized control, change and oversight frameworks were made - called smart home frameworks. This is the idea of smart home. Nano grids are small micro grids, typically serving a single building or a single load. Navigant Research has developed its own definition of a nano grid as being 100 kW for grid-tied systems and 5 KW for remote systems not interconnected with a utility grid. Nano grids mimic the innovation that is rising up from the bottom of the pyramid and capturing the imagination of growing numbers of technology vendors and investment capital, particularly in the smart building and smart transportation spaces, says Navigant. In other ways, nano grids are more conventional than micro grids since they do not directly challenge utilities in the same way. Nano grids are restricted to a single building or a single load, and therefore do not bump up against regulations prohibiting the transfer or sharing of power across a public right-of-way. From a technology point of view, perhaps the most radical idea behind nano grids is a clear preference for direct current (DC) solutions, whether these systems are connected to the grid or operate as standalone systems, according to Navigant.
Abstract: Motion estimation (ME) has a vital role in video coding and several video processing applications, such as denoising, de-interlacing, and frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) or frame interpolation. ME is employed to exploit the temporal correlation between video frames either to reduce the temporal redundancy for video coding applications or to improve the visual video quality for video processing applications. One might argue that some of these video processing applications may potentially utilize the existing motion vectors (MVs) from the decoder via MV post- processing to keep the complexity low; however, this may not usually be a feasible option. This infeasibility could be due to either difficulty of using MVs or lack of available MVs. As video coding and video processing applications are often implemented separate intellectual properties (IPs) in hardware[12], it may be very difficult to share the MVs between decoder and other video processing applications due to bandwidth, latency, storage, and design specification reasons. Besides, some of these video processing applications may be employed either before the encoding or after the decoding, and some of them may be employed at both places; if it is employed before the encoding then MVs are not available, as a result ME needs to be performed. For example, FRUC is employed only at the display side after the decoder; de-interlacing and de-noising, however, can be utilized in both places. Where as in true motion estimation the mainly it goes to detect the motion object as closely as possible by using the block matching algorithm, and then after the estimation of the true motion vector fields it helps to produce the motion compensated temporal frame interpolation. This methods is gives the more video quality and the smoothness with the flow of frames. The main aim of this paper is to determine the motion (moving) object in the video sequences this method is called as true motion estimation by adopting the implicit and explicit smoothness constraint on block matching algorithm. After finding true motion vector also called as coherent motion vector field is used to produce the good temporal interpolated frames between existing frames this gives good video with easily flowing one after the other by smoothly and continuously. After getting the interpolated frames the performance metrics like PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) and SSIM (structural similarity) between the interpolated frames and the original frames.
Keywords: PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) and SSIM (structural similarity), FRUC, motion vectors (MVs).

Abstract: Managing multiple toll booths is a very complicated task. The system here is a smart card based toll booth system that is monitored using IoT. The Internet server maintains all the data of user accounts and also their balance. All vehicle owners would possess an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) based card that stores their RFID number. The system at toll booths will monitor the cards scanned when a car arrives at the toll booth. The system then connects to the online server to check if the card is valid and if valid what is the balance. If user balance is sufficient, the toll amount is deducted online and web system sends signal back to the card scanner system that the user has been billed. On receiving this signal the system operates a motor to open the toll gate for that car. The system is controlled by a microcontroller to achieve this purpose. The microcontroller uses Wi-Fi connection to connect to the internet through which system interacts with web server to perform the online verification process. Also system allows to store data of all the vehicles passed at particular time intervals for later reference and surveillance. This system thus automates the entire toll booth billing and monitoring process with ease using RFID plus IoT based system.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5553
Abstract: In this paper, we propose 32 bit types of Brent-Kung, Kogge-Stone and a Ladner-Fischer parallel prefix adders. In general N-bit adders like Ripple Carry Adders (very inefficient processes of adders compare to other adders), and Carry Look Ahead adders (area consuming adders) are used in earlier days. As existing methods of an emerging computational paradigm, an inexact circuit offers a promising method to significantly reductions of the both dynamic and static power dissipation for error-tolerant applications. an inexact floating-point adder is by approximately designing an exponent sub-tractor and mantissa adder. But now the most integrated circuits are using parallel prefix adders because of their advantages compare to other adders. Parallel prefix adders are faster and area efficient. We simulate and synthesis different types of 32-bit prefix adders using Xilinx ISE 10.1i tool. We using these systems out performances, we noted the performance parameters like number of LUTs and delay.
