Elby Varghese K V, Jayaprakash P
Abstract: This paper discusses about the three phase three wire distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) and its performance under various control algorithms. DSTATCOM is a shunt connected advanced power electronic device which provides reactive power compensation, harmonic elimination and source current balancing. It consists of a three phase IGBT inverter module, dc link capacitor, interfacing inductor and the control circuit. Various control algorithms such as Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (IRPT), Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRF), Adaline-based algorithm and Back Propagation control algorithm are compared and its advantage over other are discussed. These control algorithms are used for extracting the reference current signals from the load current to generate the switching pulses for IGBTs of the VSC of the DSTATCOM. Synchronous Reference Frame Theory and Back Propagation control based DSTATCOM are simulated with MATLAB using SIMULINK for various types of loads like linear, nonlinear and unbalanced loads. Linear load used is resistive load and nonlinear load is a three phase diode bridge rectifier feeding a RL load. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of DSTATCOM under these control algorithms
Keywords: DSTATCOM, IRP Theory, SRF Method, Adaline-based control algorithm, Back Propagation Control algorithm.
Seven Level Inverter Topologies: A Comparative Study
Sanoop P., Vinita Chellappan
Abstract: In the recent years, multilevel inverters (MLI) are highly being used for medium voltage and high power applications due to their various advantages such as low voltage stress on the power switches, low electromagnetic interferences (EMI), low dv/dt ratio to supply lower harmonic contents in the output voltage and current. Multilevel inverters have become more popular over the years in electric high power application with the promise of very low disturbances and the possibility to function at lower switching frequencies than ordinary two-level inverters. This paper presents different topologies, emphasizing mainly on seven level inverters. The different topologies compared are the diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor clamped (flying capacitor), and cascaded multi-cell with separate DC sources. Emerging topologies like asymmetric hybrid cells and soft-switched multilevel inverters are also discussed. Finally a seven level inverter topology with lesser number of switches is discussed and compared along with the other seven level inverter topologies. Simulation studies of diode clamped seven level inverter, cascade seven level inverter and seven level inverter with reduced number of switches are done. The seven level inverter with reduced number of switch with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) switching is also simulated. It is observed that the pulse generation using PWM switching leads to further reduction of THD.

Integrated Bidirectional DC-DC converter for EV charger with G2V, V2G and V2H capabilities
Prasoon Chandran Mavila, Nisha B. Kumar
Abstract: The importance of Electric vehicles are increasing as they will form major sustainable transportation system in near future with less environmental pollution, fuel economy and energy efficiency. Bi-directional chargers adds the benefit of EVs by enabling energy transfer from vehicle to grid (V2G) or vehicle to home (V2H) in addition to charging from grid to vehicle(G2V). Typically, Bidirectional chargers consists of a AC-DC stage followed by DC-DC stage. This paper presents a non-isolated integrated bi-directional DC-DC converter for interfacing the vehicle battery to the DC link in both charging modes and discharging modes. The DC-DC converter is formed by integrating buck and boost converters and thus it is able to operate in buck as well as boost modes in both direction (charging and discharging). During charging (G2V) the dc link voltage is stepped down by the DC-DC converter to battery voltage and provides required charging current by current control. This is buck operation during charging. During V2G or V2H operation the function of the DC-DC converter is to boost the battery voltage to provide the dc link voltage. As it can also operate in boost mode in charging direction, the converter can charge the battery from a low voltage DC source such as photovoltaic panels by providing it directly to dc stage of the charger.
Keywords: Bidirectional dc-dc converter, Electric vehicle charger, Vehicle to Grid (V2G), Vehicle to Home (V2H).

Bibin K. Joseph, Shahin M.
Abstract: Photovoltaic is desirable due to its ubiquity, abundance, sustainability, ecofriendly nature, cheapness etc. Solar plants are struck by several technical as well as non-technical challenges. Transformer less inverters are highly efficient, light and cost effective. Leakage current is a major threat for transformer less PV systems. Parasitic capacitance and high frequency varying common mode voltage is responsible for leakage current. This cologne current cause losses, radiated interferences, damage of PV array, harmonic distortion in grid and safety disasters. The causes, magnitude, path, detrimental, point of measurement and preventive measures of leakage current are analyzed. Details of leakage current study in a rooftop grid tied systems near to the college is cited to substantiate problem identification. DC decoupling implemented through H5 topology of inverter can mitigate leakage current to great extent. An efficient system is designed with solar panel, MPPT using perturb and observe method utilizing cuk converter and H5 inverter. LLCL filter is used to suppress harmonics. MATLAB simulation is done for 230V, 50 Hz system to get topological verification. The leakage current profile is compared with conventional H bridge, HERIC and H6 topologies. H5 topology gave minimum leakage current.

Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid image watermarking technique for data hiding over Internet. The idea of the proposed technique is based on fusing multiple watermark images using wavelet fusion algorithm. Then, the resultant fused watermark is embedded in the original image using hybrid DWT - block based SVD watermarking algorithm to produce the watermarked image. The image watermarking technique using the hybrid DWT-block based SVD is more robust than that using the SVD only. By using block based SVD instead of using traditional SVD, the watermarked images that are tampered can also be identified. That is, the extraction of the fused watermark is possible in the presence of severe attacks. Also this watermarking technique improves both the capacity of the embedded information and robustness without affecting the perceptual quality of the original image.

LQR based tuning of PID controller for magnetic levitation system and its performance comparison with conventional method
Anupama B., Shijoh Vellayikot
Abstract: This paper proposes a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) based tuning of PID controller and is implemented for controlling the ball position of magnetic levitation system. Since the system is highly nonlinear in nature, nonlinear differential equations are used to model the system. For the controller design, this nonlinear model is linearized around the operating point using Taylor series expansion method. Performance of the proposed method is compared with that of PID controller which is tuned using conventional Ziegler Nichol‟s method. From the simulation studies it is clear that even though both the schemes are capable to control the ball position of magnetic levitation system the proposed method yields better result. Quantitative performance comparison is also made based on the time domain specifications such as settling time, maximum overshoot and steady state error. The result shows that LQR based PID controller outperforms its counterpart as the settling time and maximum overshoot are reduced considerably.

Character recognition and Period prediction of ancient Kannada Epigraphical scripts
Sachin S Bhat, H.V. Balachandra Achar
Abstract: Epigraphs are the important source for reshaping the history and the culture of our ancient civilizations. They have a remarkable importance to mankind. In India, the scripts of modern languages have evolved over a period of time and has finally transformed to the present form. Modern epigraphists find it difficult to interpret the scripts of olden days. The characters have changed over the centuries from one form to another. Therefore, for reading ancient scripts the period of that script has to be determined, so as to have knowledge of which character set of ancient days is to be employed for automatic reading. In this paper we demonstrate period identification of various ancient Kannada scripts using advanced recognition algorithms. Proposed algorithm involves various modules including image acquisition, noise removal, segmentation of character sets for feature extraction, classification and recognition of segmented characters. A system is proposed for prediction of the era and it is being done by examining a few characters in Kannada inscription of various periods referred to as test characters. These test characters are sampled from the script automatically and matched with the characters available for different periods using machine intelligence. This classifier is tested on quite number samples of Kannada epigraphical document images belonging to different periods. Issue taken here is to produce a computer perceivable image from a raw epigraphical script and predict the era of ancient script. Prediction of period of ancient scripts is the first step in automatically deciphering epigraphical scripts. Automatic period identification for a given document image, of a script facilitates the selection of the script specific OCR in an environment where scripts of various periods are given as input.

Abstract: Image segmentation directly influences the successive processing and analyzing of an image. Thus segmentation becomes one of the biggest problems in image processing. Inspired by the application of community detection algorithms in large-scale social networks, we attempt to view an image from the perspective of a network and consider the image segmentation problem as a community detection problem. For a network, modularity is a crucial quantity, which is used to evaluate the performance of various community detection algorithms. A graph based method with modularity, can avoid the over segmentation problem which is present in all traditional segmentation methods. Compared with other existing segmentation algorithms, proposed algorithms start with initial segmentation techniques and lead to the computation of modularity, and try to achieve better segmentation to some extent.

Developing an algorithm for Tomato leaf disease detection and classification
Vidyaraj K, Priya S
Abstract: Tomato is widely cultivated economical crop in the India; so diseases in plants cause major production and economic losses as well as reduction in both quality and quantity of agricultural products. Therefore, automatic detection of plant diseases is an essential research topic as it may prove benefits in monitoring fields of crops, and automatically detect the symptoms of diseases. Farmers experience great difficulties in switching from one disease control policy to another. The naked eye observation of experts is the traditional approach adopted in practice for detection and identification of plant diseases. Mostly diseases are seen on the leaves. Therefore, looking for fast, less expensive and accurate method to automatically detect the diseases from the symptoms that appear on the plant leaf is of great realistic significance. Early information on crop health and disease detection can facilitate the control of diseases through proper management strategies. Hence the algorithm is to design, implement and evaluate an image processing based software solution for automatic detection and classification of plant leaf diseases. The method used in this work is divided into two major phases. First phase concerns with training of healthy sample and diseased sample. Second phase concerns with the training of test sample and generates result based on the segmentation and feature extraction. And classifies the diseases into fungal, bacterial and viral. It also helps the farmer to take superior decision about many aspects of crop development process.
A Review on MRI Brain Image Segmentation Techniques
Reema Mathew A, Dr.Babu Anto P
Abstract: Brain tumor is a life threatening disease and its early detection is very important to save life. The tumor region can be detected by segmentation of brain Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI). Once a brain tumor is clinically suspected, radiologic evaluation is required to determine the location, the extent of the tumor, and its relationship to the surrounding structures. This information is very important and critical in deciding between the different forms of therapy such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The segmentation must be fast and accurate for the diagnosis purpose. Manual segmentation of brain tumors from magnetic resonance images is a tedious and time-consuming task. Also the accuracy depends upon the experience of expert. Hence, the computer aided automatic segmentation has become important. MRI scanned images offer valuable information regarding brain tissues. MRI scans provide very detailed diagnostic pictures of most of the important organs and tissues in our body. It is generally painless and noninvasive. It does not produce ionizing radiation. So MRI is one of the best clinical imaging modalities. Several automated segmentation algorithms have been proposed. But still segmentation of MRI brain image remains as a challenging problem due to its complexity and there is no standard algorithm that can produce satisfactory results. The aim of this research work is to propose and implement an efficient system for tumor detection and classification. The different steps involved in this work are image pre-processing for noise removal, feature extraction, segmentation and classification. Proposed work plans to make a study on different techniques exists for each step and to propose a method well suitable to get an accurate solution.

Naveena A.K, N.K. Narayanan
Abstract: Image retrieval is an active research area for the last two decades. This area is gaining more importance as the growth of multimedia content over the internet is increasing. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) uses the visual content of images like color, shape and texture for image comparison and retrieval. Compared to the text based retrieval content based image retrieval is used for better accuracy. Content based means search makes use of the visual content of the images. These contents are extracted from the images and are described by multi-dimensional vectors. Similarity measurement and visual feature extraction are two important issues in CBIR. The accuracy of the retrieved images mainly depends on the features extracted. A review of feature extraction methods is present in this paper.
Keywords: Content Based Image Retrieval, Feature Extraction, Color, Shape, Texture.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4201
Abstract: The Renewable energy sources, which have been expected to be a promising alternative energy source, can bring new challenges when it is connected to the power grid. However, the generated power from renewable energy source is always fluctuating due to environmental condition. In the same way Wind power injection into an electric grid affects the power quality due to the fluctuation nature of the wind and the comparatively new types of its generators. Fixed speed wind turbine equipped with Squirrel cage induction generator has the advantages of being simple, robust and reliable. However, it also contains some disadvantages of uncontrollable reactive power output, mechanical stress and limited power quality control. Owing to its fixed speed operation, fluctuations in wind speed are further transmitted as fluctuations in the mechanical torque and then in the electrical power output. In order to overcome the above mentioned problems associated with fixed-speed wind turbine system and to maximize the wind energy capture, variable speed wind turbines based on Doubly fed induction generator are becoming employed.

Abstract: In current years there has been an increasing interest in the study of sparse representation of signals. Using an over complete glossary that contains prototype signal-atoms, signals are described by sparse linear combinations of these atoms. Recognition of persons by means of biometric description is an important technology in the society, because biometric identifiers cannot be shared and they intrinsically characterize the individual’s bodily distinctiveness. Among several biometric recognition technologies, fingerprint compression is very popular for personal identification. One more fingerprint compression algorithm based on sparse representation using K-SVD algorithm is introduced. In the algorithm, First we construct a dictionary for predefined fingerprint photocopy patches. For a new given fingerprint images, suggest its patches according to the dictionary by computing 𝑙0 -minimization by MP method and then quantize and encode the representation.This paper compares dissimilar compression standards like JPEG,JPEG-2000,WSQ,K- SVDetc. The paper show that this is effective compared with several competing compression techniques particularly at high compression ratios.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4223
Abstract: For smooth running of the electronic appliances we need high quality AC power. The quality of the AC output power increases as the level of the inverter increases. But with the increase of the level, the number of switches and other associated components also increases in a huge amount. Thus the losses associated with the inverter are also increases. Due to different kind of losses associated with inverters, the efficiency is affected tremendously. Therefore, for improved and efficient multilevel inverter design, the number of switches has to be reduced as much as possible. In this paper, an innovative approach of designing multilevel inverter is proposed, which can increase the generation of two-levels of output voltage by increasing only one switch. This paper explains nine-level single-phase multilevel inverter with this innovative approach, using only eight switches.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4227
Abstract: The control is the main process in industries in that liquid level control plays important role in many industries like petroleum, food manufacturing etc. Many process industries use conical tanks because it prevents the accumulation of solid at the bottom of the tank. The non-linearity and constantly changing cross section of the conical tank are the immense challenge in control in process industries and it cannot be controlled by the linear Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. The Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is commonly used to control the level in process industries. Tuning of the PI gain parameters is setting the proportional, integral constant to get the best control of the process. The standard controller tuning methods are the Ziegler Nichols (Z-N) and Cohen-Coon methods. Most of the industries using PID controller for controlling the process so the PID controller wants to tuned to get a better performance, for that optimal selection of PID controller using particle swarm optimization technique is used in this project and also the Z-N tuned PI controller, IMC controller are designed for the Conical Tank System (CTS) and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. From the simulation results it has been proved that the optimal controller gives good control system performance than other controllers.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4231
Abstract: The energy source for energy harvesting micro-generators is present as ambient background. Energy harvesting micro generator provide a very small amount of power for low-energy electronic devices. This paper presents the analysis of electromagnetic resonant micro-generator for the low voltage bridgeless AC DC energy conversion. The proposed converter model uses parallel connected boost and buck-boost converters to step up and rectify the low AC voltage fed from the micro-generator output to higher DC voltage to be fed to an electronic load. The positive and negative half cycle of the AC voltage obtained by the micro-generator is processed by the boost and the buck-boost converters respectively. Detailed analysis of the boost and the buck boost converter of the proposed model are carried out to suit the specifications of the micro-generator output and the load.

Abstract: The objective of voting is to allow voters to exercise their right to express their choices regarding specific issues, pieces of legislation, citizen initiatives, constitutional amendments, recalls and/or to choose their government and political representatives. But, now- a -days it has become very usual for some forces to indulge in rigging which may eventually lead to a result contrary to the actual verdict given by the people. In order to provide inexpensive solutions to the above, this project will be implemented with biometric system i.e. finger print scanning. This is used to ensure the security to avoid fake, repeated voting etc. It also enhances the accuracy and speed of the process. The system uses thumb impression for voter identification as we know that the thumb impression of every human being has a unique pattern. Thus it would have an edge over the present day voting systems. The purpose of such system is to ensure that the voting rights are accessed only by a legitimate user and no one else. In this, creation of a database consisting of the thumb impressions of all the eligible voters in a constituency is done as a pre-poll procedure. During elections, the thumb impression of a voter is entered as input to the system. This is then compared with the available records in the database. If the particular pattern matches with anyone in the available record, access to cast a vote is granted. But in case the pattern doesn’t match with the records of the database or in case of repetition, access to cast a vote is denied or the vote gets rejected. The result is instantaneous and counting is done. The overall cost for conducting elections gets reduced and so does the maintenance cost of the systems. The postal type of voting is not convenient for everyone, Hence a new option like vote from any places in Tamil Nadu by using the pre saved details of AADHAR card and by choosing the specific area for voting it comes in handy so that it becomes easy for the non home persons to vote from any place inside Tamil Nadu. The age is verified before voting and if the voter does not vote for more than three elections the citizenship will be canceled. The disabled persons will have a swipe machine where they will use their AADHAR card to vote. These simulations results are verified with the help of Keil vision.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4233
Abstract: This paper discusses effective implementation of IoT to enhance able container security in marine cargo industry. It is estimated that 90% of goods traded globally are moved by around 17 million containers. However it is very difficult to control and monitor the container contents. There are various challenges like spoilage, tampering, theft, smuggling of contraband materials even nuclear weapons. This calls for constant monitoring, analysis and reporting of various parameters like temperature, humidity, radiation inside containers throughout the journey. This is a complex problem as the paths of ships are often out of reach of conventional communication technologies and are subject to rough weather. Additionally metal containers limits range of RF signals. Various technologies like Satellite/RF/GSM Communication, Cloud Computing, Device Engineering, Last mile connectivity will be utilized for the purpose. This paper reflects our thought process on effective implementation of IoT techniques to enhance the end-to-end traceability and security of containers.
