DBET: Demand Based Energy Efficient Topology for MANETs
Attar Shuaib, Sayyed Musaddique, V.R. Marathe
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31202
Abstract: Due to the limited resources of the network transmission of large sized data can be a bottleneck in Adhoc network. The data delivery is done by selecting appropriate cluster heads. This kind of region diversity may be utilized to achieve higher energy efficiency. We divide the network into four regions. Node with highest energy in each region is selected as cluster head. Remaining nodes forwards their data to cluster head which buffers the data and forwards only one packet instead of all the packets received from other nodes. Therefore the overall energy consumption is reduced in such a network. In our proposed method we recalculate cluster head after every round of transmission and bypass nodes with lower energy to preserve more energy. We compare the performance with non energy centric pure region based cluster head and prove that the proposed technique fares better in terms of low energy consumption, fewer node deaths, more packet delivery ratio and improved packets par node. Here by compressing redundant data we ensure better degree of compression without compromising on mean square error.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31203
Abstract: In the proposed work a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with variable air flow rate has been presented. Here, the main objective is to extract maximum power out of fuel cell at different air flow rates. The proposed scheme consists of DC-DC buck-boost converter with grid interfacing inverter. The DC-DC converter is controlled to perform maximum power point tracking under varying fuel cell conditions while grid interfacing inverter is controlled to evacuate the generated output power from fuel cell. It has also been demonstrated that the grid interfacing inverter may also be helpful in meeting the reactive power demand of nearby local loads so that grid always exchange power at unity power factor. Finally, detailed modelling and simulation results under MATLAB/SimPowerSystem environment have been presented to validate the proposed control algorithms.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31208
Abstract: Capacitors and DGs are commonly used in distribution system for real or reactive power compensation so that it reduces the losses, increases the maximum flow through cables and in transformers, and also improves the system power factor and voltage profile. The Reduction of losses in distribution system is very essential to improve overall efficiency of power delivery. This can be achieved by placing capacitors and DGs at different locations in radial distribution system. By considering the above advantages, in this paper to improve voltage profile and to reduce losses to increase efficiency in radial distribution system, the location and sizing of capacitors and DGs are addressed using two main factors. They are loss sensitivity factor for location and particle swarm optimization algorithm for sizing is used. To show the effectiveness, obtained results are compared each other. The proposed method is programmed and tested in a IEEE 33 bus distribution system using MATLAB software. For load flow analysis of the distribution network, Newton-Raphson method is used.

Nivedha Sivakumar, Pushkarini Kulkarni, M. D. Nandeesh
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31209
Abstract: There are numerous challenges in harvesting agricultural products and marketing them effectively. The challenges range from rainfall to availability of seasoned land to labour and marketing supply chain. In manual process, considerable time, hard labour and money is spent in inspecting and harvesting yield. This results in high cost of labour and additional time taken to complete entire process of harvesting, and holistically, deteriorates quality and consistency of the yield. The end-user market is quality demanding and expects consistency within one lot, and also among lots for them to be loyal to the brand and the produce. Often, this is not achievable for reasons discussed above. In many cases, where farm product is input to a final product, say tomato ketchup, high quality and consistency are essential to maintain the quality of the end-product, thereby guaranteeing good customer experience. This paper contains a viable engineering solution to this socially relevant problem of automated harvesting of ripe tomatoes under greenhouse conditions. Image-processing techniques, explained in this paper, are used to identify ripe tomatoes, and once identified; an automatic robotic vehicle harvests the ripe tomatoes.

Richa, Ritika Saroha
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31214
Abstract: This paper presents a fingerprint biometric system based on textures. In this work, it uses the training of image dataset for minimization of error. Fingerprint recognition is one of the oldest forms of biometric identification. However obtaining a good fingerprint image is not always easy. So the fingerprint image must be pre-processed before matching. The main objective of thesis is to design an image matching algorithm which is applied to any image for matching. The image will be of any size or any format. For this, the other objective is to present a better and enhanced fingerprint image. Commonly used features for improving fingerprint image quality are energy and local orientation. Accurate segmentation of fingerprint ridges from noisy background is necessary. For efficient enhancement and feature extraction algorithms, the segmented features must be void of any noise. A pre-processing method consisting of field orientation, ridge frequency estimation, filtering, segmentation and enhancement is performed. The obtained image is applied to a thinning algorithm and subsequent minutiae extraction. The methodology of image pre-processing and minutiae extraction is discussed. The simulations are performed in the MATLAB environment to evaluate the performance of the implemented algorithms. Results and observations of fingerprint images are presented at the end.

Fuzzy Logic Based Safety Measures for Vehicles on Road
Rezuana Bai J, Premson Y
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31217
Abstract: Safety of vehicles moving at high speeds on the road is a matter of big concern. Fuzzy logic based systems could be incorporated in vehicles for this purpose. A fuzzy logic based model is developed for good vehicle control. Image or echo based techniques can be used to get the required inputs for the model. The system is developed such that, when the vehicle moves close to the left or right line on the road, the steering is turned to bring the vehicle to the middle of the road. The break force is decided based on the speed of the vehicle and its distance from the front vehicle. These requirements are best modelled by the Fuzzy logic method. When the vehicle goes out of its intended path or when it is excessively closer to any vehicle or other objects, this system can act with the artificial intelligence capabilities to avoid possible accidents.

Sayyed Musaddique, S.S.Hippargi, Attar Shuaib
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31220
Abstract: In this project, we define solid privacy requirements regarding privacy-maintain routing in MANET. Then we propose an secure routing scheme to offer complete unlink ability and content un- observability for all types of packets. It is efficient as it uses a novel combination of group signature and ID-based encryption for route discovery. Security analysis demonstrates that it can well protect user privacy against both inside and outside attackers. Privacy- preserving routing is crucial for some adhoc networks that require stronger privacy protection. A number of schemes have been proposed to protect privacy in adhoc networks. However, none of these schemes offer complete unlinkability or unobservability property since data packets and control packets are still linkable and distinguishable in these schemes. In this paper, we define stronger privacy requirements regarding privacy-preserving routing in mobile ad hoc networks. Then we propose an secure routing scheme to offer complete unlinkability and content unobservability for all types of packets. It is efficient as it uses a novel combination of group signature and ID-based encryption for route discovery. Security analysis demonstrates that it can well protect user privacy against both inside and outside attackers. We implement it on ns2, and evaluate its performance by comparing with AODV. The simulation results show that it not only has satisfactory performance compared to AODV, but also achieves stronger privacy protection than existing schemes.

T.Geetha Krishna, Dr.M.Damodar Reddy
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31221
Abstract: Power quality is one of the most important factors in the present days. Power quality problem arises due to abnormal current, voltage or frequency, which results in end user equipment failure. This paper describes the power quality problems consist of a large number of disorders such as voltage sags, swells and its effect on sophisticated loads. For solving these types of problems, custom power devices are used. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), is one of the most effective and efficient modern custom power device. This device is used in power distribution networks. By using DVR it includes lower cost, smaller size. It also gives fast dynamic response to the disturbances. The dynamic voltage restorer improves voltage waveform and ensures constant load voltage by adding compensated voltage. By finding the differences between desired and measured values, the compensating signals are generated dynamically .If there is any disturbance in the network then dynamic voltage restorer generates injected voltage. If any power quality problem arises in source side then this injected voltage can regulate the voltage at the load terminals. With derived reference load terminal voltages, the control of dynamic voltage restorer is implemented. To verify the performance of proposed system, results Matlab with its simulink and simpower system tool boxes are used.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31222
Abstract: Due to the high speed of internet and advances in technology, people are turning out to be more stressed over data being hacked by hackers. Recently, numerous algorithms of steganography and information hiding have been proposed. Steganography is a procedure of inserting the secret data inside the host medium (content, sound, picture and feature). Simultaneously, a large portion of steganography software programs have been given to unauthorized clients to retrieve the secret data that was installed in the embedded files. Some steganography calculations can be effectively recognized by steganalytical detectors due to absence of security and embedded efficiency. In this paper the current steganography strategies are examined.

Design and Implementation of STATCOM Controller for a Three Phase SEIG Feeding Single Phase Loads
Addanki Gopinadh, Pasupulety Ankamarao
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31223
Abstract: The main aim of the project is to compensate the unbalanced currents caused by single-phase loads that are connected across any two terminals of the three-phase SEIG by using STATCOM with D-Q theory technique. This project presents single-phase power generation using a three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) working in conjunction with a three-phase static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Due to the specific advantages of the squirrel-cage induction machine over the conventional synchronous machine, SEIGs are being employed in remote and isolated power generating systems as mechanical energy conversion devices. When an SEIG is driven by prime movers such as biomass, biogas, and biodiesel engines, the frequency of the generated voltage is almost constant from no load to full load. But, poor voltage regulation has been the major drawback of an SEIG in its applications. To control the terminal voltage by using one of the controlling equipment like active switches which use the combination of a fixed capacitor and thyristor-controlled inductor known as static var compensator (SVC), the disadvantage of SVC is it would generate low-order harmonic currents caused by the switching of line currents and they also involve large size and heavy weight of passive elements. The performance of the SEIGβSTATCOM system is evaluated for both linear and nonlinear single-phase loads. Furthermore, the performance of the SEIG at different terminal voltages is observed and the terminal voltage corresponding to the maximum power output is identified and also observes the source current and load current by using SIMULINK/MATLAB software. In this project, an alternative method of feeding single- phase loads using a three-phase SEIG without de-rating the machine is proposed. The benefit of integrating a STATCOM in an SEIG based Standalone power generation feeding single-phase loads is threefold first, generator currents balancing; second, voltage regulation; and third, mitigates the harmonics injected by nonlinear loads.

Abstract: Turbo codes have performance superior than all other coding techniques. Main factors that make turbo codes so efficient include parallel concatenation structure of the encoding system recursive convolutional encoder, interleave, puncturing pattern and iterative decoding. Puncturing is the tradeoff between rate and performance. Puncturing increases code rate without increasing complexity for code rate from 1/3 to Β½ or more and decreases free distance of code. The redundant bits in coding decrease the bandwidth efficiency.In this paper the desired turbo coding rates providing methods using the puncturing process and also the effect of this process on BER.

Abstract: Internet data communication is a crucial activity for modern society. Since internet communication needs secure, efficient and high data rate communication, researchers propose different form of internet data communication. The current wireless data communication, Wireless-Fidelity, is based on radio frequency and uses router for signal transmitter and Wi-Fi card or chip as receiver which are built in modern computers and smart phones. This radio frequency based technology is limited in bandwidth, interfered with signals of different electronic equipment and easily accessed or hacked by unwanted hidden peoples. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a new technology that, proposed in late 2011 by prof. Harald Haas, uses illumination for internet data communication and will be implemented in a near future. Li-Fi uses semiconductor diodes for both data source and data receiver. It uses different color light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a transmitter and photodiodes as a receiver which are connected with computers or smartphones. Li-Fi technology uses the very simple technique of transmitting data using LED bulbs i.e. if the LED is ON, then the digital signal 1 is transmitted else if the LED is OFF, the digital signal 0 is transmitted which are detected by the photodiode at the receiver side. Li-Fi has many advantages over wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi). The advantage of Li-Fi over Wi-Fi is due to data communication spectrum differences. The electromagnetic spectrum bandwidth used for visible light communication (VLC) of Li-Fi is 10,000 times greater than for electromagnetic spectrum bandwidth of radio frequencies for Wi-Fi. Li-Fi technology has many advantages over Wi-Fi as a result of its unlimited bandwidth, its poor object penetration capacity, its low electromagnetic interference property and its possibility to integrate with the existing light infrastructure. But Li-Fi technology has some draw backs than Wi-Fi due to its radiation range, radiation direction and penetration capacity through objects and opaque materials. Since Li-Fi is clean, cheaper, and efficient and secure, most computer related companies will join and the draw backs will be reduced.

Abstract: This paper describes the design of the printed rectangular monopole antenna using inset field in rectangular shape operating at 2.4 GHz. The dimensions of each single element of the planar monopole antenna at the operating frequency are calculated using transmission line model. Broadband planar monopole antennas have all the advantages of the monopole in terms of their cost, and ease of fabrication besides, yielding very large bandwidths. For many applications large bandwidth is required. Recently, many techniques to tailor and optimize the impedance BW of these antennas have been investigated. These antennas are becoming popular, and have been proposed for modern and future wideband wireless applications. The radiation performance is also shown to be acceptable over a wide range of frequency. Optimization of the feed point location can achieve very compact configurations. Also these antennas can provide band-notching characteristics. These antennas have been reported to provide multi band characteristics too. More recently, it has been shown that, although the square monopole (SM) provides smaller BW than the circular monopole (CM), its radiation pattern suffers less degradation within the impedance BW.

Abstract: As the demand is ahead of the supply there is a dire need for efficient and effective utilization of resources. Hence an attempt is made to reduce the utilization of electricity from fossil fuel by optimally utilizing the Solar Energy. Which is achieved by Solar Tracking System. As the Solar Energy is one of the substitutes for fossil fuel, a breakthrough is achieved by adopting an alternative technique which is christened as Solar Tracking System A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the sun. Payloads can be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses or other optical devices. In flat-panel photovoltaic (PV) applications, trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sunlight and a photovoltaic panel. This increases the amount of energy produced from a fixed amount of installed power generating capacity and reduces the quantity of number of Solar Panels.

Abstract: An advanced approach to design a fault coverage test pattern generator by utilizing linear feedback shift register called Bit Swap-LFSR. This could perform fault analysis and also minimize the power utilization at circuit level during tests, by generating three intermediate patterns between random patterns by decreasing the hardware components usage. The main purpose of having intermediate patterns is to minimize the transitional processing at initial inputs; this could minimize the switching activities at circuit under test. By this the power consumption is decreased without any lose or damage in the hardware components. This experiment results by efficient multipliers circuits in proposed system, with and without fault confirm of fault coverage when the circuit has been tested.

Reactive Power Compensation of Radial Distribution Networks with Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) and Capacitor Allocation using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization
K.Pavani, Dr.A.Lakshmi Devi
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31236
Abstract: This paper presents a study on the impact of unified power-quality conditioner (UPQC) allocation on radial distribution systems. A UPQC consists of a series and a shunt inverter. In UPQC, the series inverter injects a voltage with controllable phase angle in such a way that the voltage magnitude at load end remains unchanged. Due to the phase angle shift, the series inverter participates in load reactive power compensation along with the shunt inverter during healthy operating condition. In the proposed approach, the optimal design parameters of UPQC are determined by minimizing objective functions network power loss, Percentage of Nodes with Under Voltage Problem(PNUVP).These objectives are simultaneously minimized to obtain a set of non-dominated solutions using multi-objective PSO (MOPSO). The results show that a significant amount of power-loss reduction, under voltage mitigation can be obtained with an appropriate placement of the UPQC in a distribution network. The performances of PSO with UPQC and UPQC with Capacitor variants are compared and the better one is used in all subsequent studies.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2015.31238
Abstract: In this paper we proposed to develop an experimental set-up of PLC and SCADA based mixing and control of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR). The set-up automatically monitors different parameters with the help of SCADA HMI. The PLC is connected to the level sensors and solenoid valves are controlled based on the level in the tank reactor. This model also has the stirrer control unit which continuously stirrers the reactor and mix the reactants. The PLC used is Allen Bradley Micrologix 1200 and the SCADA software is RSView32. Thus the level in the CSTR is constantly monitored and brought to a constant level as required for the operation. The automation is further enhanced by constant monitoring using SCADA screen which is connected to the PLC by means of RS232 communication cable.
Abstract: There are various applications in industry which utilize DC drives to achieve high production levels and high quality standards. One of the common methods for bidirectional motoring control is accomplished by using a two- quadrant switching circuit. Some DC drive applications require braking which can be accomplished economically by using regenerative braking which is achieved by using a four-quadrant switching circuit. This braking scheme is more efficient, economical, and requires less maintenance as compared t o other types of braking. In this paper, the theory of regenerative braking is used to develop a control system for DC drives which is based on the operation of a four- quadrant switching circuit. This microprocessor based system is designed with a new integrated circuit (LMD 18200) which contains a four-quadrant switching circuit and on-board control logic. This system has many industrial and commercial applications and can be modified to conform to specific voltage, current, and horsepower ratings. Applications of this system range from larger industrial drives to small DC drives and servo motors such as those used in robotics, printers, and plotters. The system microprocessor can also be interfaced to other control units for process control applications.

In the last several decades, image sensors integrating different on-chip compression algorithms, such as predictive coding. One of the most important advantages of CMOS image sensors over CCDs is the ability to integrate sensing with analog and digital processing down to the pixel level.
