Load Frequency Control Using PID and Fuzzy Logic Control for Multi Area Interconnection System
Mohammed Sabeeh Kadhim, Mr. Ch. Ravi Kumar
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4701
Abstract: Load frequency Control is very important in the power system operation and control for supplying sufficient and reliable electrical power with good quality. The load demand should match the power generation. If there is any imbalance leads to a load frequency problems. In general, as the speed of the machine depends on the frequency, any deviation in the frequency may lead to mal-operation of the system. So load frequency control is the key problem in the power system. For specified power rating of the machine the voltage should maintain constant otherwise the system insulation may get damage. The controllers are set for a particular operation condition and they take care of small changes in load demand without frequency and voltage exceeding the prescribed limits. With the passage of time, as the change in load demand becomes large, the controllers must be reset either manually or automatically. In modern power system multi area inter connected systems are used for more reliability and economic purpose. In this paper using four areas for inter connected systems the frequency problems can be effectively decreased by using fuzzy logic controller with either of the 3, 5 or 7 membership functions. Here this fuzzy logic controller action also compared with automatic generation control and PID controllers also. By using fuzzy logic controller the frequency error, settling time, peak overshoot, under overshoots are effectively reduced.
Keywords: Frequency error, multi area inter connection, Automatic Generation Control (AGC), Fuzzy logic controller, PID.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4716
Abstract: This paper presents a new asymmetric cascaded H-bridge Multi Level Inverter (MLI) with less number of power devices for industries and renewable energy applications. Cascaded MLI are more popular in electric utilities and industrial drives. MLI reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) present in the output voltage. MLI performance is very good on the higher value of voltage apply to the drive. The cascaded H-bridge inverters are classified based on the input supply voltage from the unequal sources like symmetric and asymmetric inverter. The proposed topology consists of one H-bridge (with 4 switches) and full bridge unit (with 3 switches) for 15 level output voltage. In this paper THD is reduced to 3.23% by using SPWM technique. THD analysis is calculated by FFT spectrum of output waveforms using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed topology is verified through the prototype hardware of single phase 15 level hybrid asymmetric inverter using FPGA based Xilinx SPARTAN 3E processor. These processors provide proper gating signals for switches using SPWM application.

Abstract: Satellite imaging is being the most attractive source of information for the governmental agencies and the commercial companies in last decade. The quality of the images is very important especially for the military or the police forces to pick the valuable information from the details. Satellite images may have unwanted signals called as noise in addition to useful information for several reasons such as heat generated electrons, bad sensor, wrong ISO settings, vibration and clouds. There are several image enhancement algorithms to reduce the effects of noise over the image to see the details and gather meaningful information. Satellite images are acquired with remote sensing. Remote sensing is the science and art of obtaining information about an object or area through a device that is not in contact with the object or the area under investigation. Satellite Images referred as hyper spectral images are the most used images in remote sensing and are of more interest to find out the classification of objects in those images. The classification can give us the important factors like vegetation, buildings, roads and more. The classification can be done by using Image segmentation via various clustering algorithms where Clustering is the process of grouping a set of objects into classes of similar objects.

Abstract: Shopping malls allow the customers to shop variety of products under one roof. Since it does not need the customers to go to various shops to buy different products, shopping in malls helps save the shopping time. Because of this, many people have started shopping in malls making them more and more crowded. So besides this big advantage, there is a major disadvantage of long billing queues taking much longer to bill the purchased products. Therefore it becomes pointless to go to shopping malls in order to save time. So if there were a system to generate the bill of shopped products automatically or simultaneously then it could save the billing time thereby revoking any need to stand in long queues. There are various techniques such as barcode scanner, camera, RFID tags and QR codes to generate the shopping bills on trolley itself. This paper presents a new technique that uses MIFARE tags and card reader to make the shopping trolleys smarter by introducing self billing upon them.

Vijay S. Bhong, Prof. B. V. Pawar
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4729
Abstract: The recognition of plant leaf disease is a very important factor to prevent serious outbreak. If these diseases are not detected in time then these may cause several losses. Insects are also affecting the leaves. Traditionally farmer visually checks the disease if this is not treated on time, and then it causes several losses. Excessive use of pesticides for plant treatment increases the cost and environmental pollution, so their use must be minimized. The diseases on the cotton are basic issue which makes the sharp decrease in the production of cotton. So the study of interest is the leaf rather than whole cotton plant. About 80-90% of diseases occur on the cotton leaves are like Alternaria, Cercospora, Red spot, white spot and Yellow spot etc. The solution for the mentioned problem is to design robot for performing different farming work like identify the diseases on crop, suggest the pesticide for that disease, and spray the pesticides on crop. By utilizing farming robot, the excessive use of pesticides can be saved & the labor cost is reduces. The farmers health is protected from pesticides.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4734
Abstract: In this research work an energy-efficient cluster based routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is proposed in which a monitor node is deployed in the sensing network to improve the overall network performance and enhance energy level. The network divided the deployed sensor nodes into four logical regions on the basis of their locality in the sensing field. The nodes of region in which base station is deployed will directly communicate with the base station. The nodes in the region in which monitor node is deployed will directly communicate with monitor node. In remaining two regions cluster hierarchy is used to transmit the data to the nearest destination. The deployed monitor node is rechargeable node in the network. Additionally in proposed work, result of stability period (dead nodes) and residual energy of Leach are compared with the result of proposed algorithm that is proposed energy efficient protocol.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4736
Abstract: Spectral efficiency gain of an uplink Cognitive Radio (CR) Multi-Input-Multi-Output system in which the Secondary User (SU) is allowed to share the spectrum with the Primary User (PU) using a specific precoding scheme to communicate with a common receiver. They adopt a Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) technique to eliminate the effect of the detected primary signal transmitted through the exploited eigen modes. We extend this process to achieve high data rate compare to existing , we modified the channel into frequency selective fading channel and applying relay based protocol (ARP) , by this mentioned modification we can achieve high SNR communication. In a cognitive radio network, the secondary users are allowed to utilize the frequency bands of primary users when these bands are not currently being used. To support this spectrum reuse functionality, the secondary users are required to sense the radio frequency environment, and once the primary users are found to be active, the secondary users are required to vacate the channel within a certain amount of time. Therefore, spectrum sensing is of significant importance in cognitive radio networks.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4737
Abstract: The sensor networks are self-organizing and multiple hope wireless networks which do not depend on any kind of physical infrastructure or topology. Therefore such networks required self-organizing sensor nodes deployment especially for disaster management applications. In this project, new hybrid approach introduced for efficient disaster management using energy efficient clustering method and efficient self-organization approach. Self-organization using the clustering approach resulted into efficient network disaster management as well as energy efficiency approach. Since hierarchical clustering minimizes energy consumption by routing data from one node to another. In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm for self-organization of sensors deployed in a geographical area. We propose an energy efficient and optimal randomized clustering protocol. This approach improves overall network performances such as network lifetime, throughput, energy efficiency, communication overheads and Packet Dropped Ratio.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4738
Abstract: Generation and transmission systems are two important parts of power systems which are mainly considered for expansion. GEP is related to the investment on energy production and determines size, place, technology and the time of installing new plants to satisfy the forecasted load within the given reliability criteria over a planning horizon. TEP is the other important planning in power systems and denotes when, where and how many lines should be installed to ensure an adequate level of energy supply to customers, taking into account the load growth and reliability. In recent years, integration of renewable into main grid and ongoing deregulated environment take many challenges to power system expansion planning.

Pushkar A. Phating, Prof. Ashwini Pawar
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4739
Abstract: Now a day various substation busbars are used to connect a variety of elements, such as transformers as well as transmission lines and loads in the power system. In this paper presents an effective high-speed busbar protection technique according to the propagation theory of traveling wave. If the fault occurs on the busbar, then the detected initial traveling waves on all connected lines will come from their back and this process is defined as positive direction traveling waves. While a fault occurs on any one of these lines the healthy lines are called as positive direction traveling waves and faulted lines are called as negative traveling waves. In this paper presents an effective method for finding the fault direction. The fault direction can be established according to the amplitude integral relationships between the positive direction traveling wave and the negative direction traveling wave and for this purpose busbar protection scheme can be constructed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can rapidly and reliably discriminate the internal faults from external faults, and the protection performances are immune to fault resistances, fault inception angles, fault types, and current-transformer saturation. The software which is used to design this proposed system is Matlab for training the proposed busbar system.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4740
Abstract: This paper demonstrates the proposed functionality of a power electronics-based energy management system (EMS). The EMS includes batteries and a digitally controlled single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI), which can be controlled as a current source or a voltage source depending on the status of the ac grid and the user’s preference. The proposed EMS can give guarantees that the critical loads are powered when the ac grid fails; in which case, the VSI is controlled as a voltage source. It also expect peak power control by supplying battery power to the local loads while they are powered by the ac grid if the loads get large. The electricity cost savings will be accomplished by peak shaving are estimated. The control architecture and logic embedded in the EMS are discussed in detail.
BIST for Memory with Address and Syndrome Compression
Ajinkya R. Kapse, Poorvi K. Joshi
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4741
Abstract: Because of fixed number of pins, buit-in self-test (BIST) for embedded RAMs ordinarily sends out the diagnostic information serially, which increases the total diagnostic time. The proposed BIST decrease the diagnostic time by lessening number of bits required for sending out defective address and fault syndrome. The fault address bits are diminished by sending out differential address and fault syndrome is compressed utilizing march element based (MEB) compression. Simulation results demonstrate that the compression ratio is around 43.01% for a 4K×16-bit memory.
Keywords: Random Access Memories; built-in self-test; diagnosis; compression
Abstract: This research paper presents a novel method for the identification of some object in a video using the distinctive invariant features from images. This method uses reliable matching between different views of an object or scene. The features shows a robust matching across a particular range of affine distortion, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise, invariant to image scale and rotation and change in illumination. In this, the recognition for the object proceeds by matching individual features to a database of features from known objects using a technique called as scale invariant feature transform. This approach to recognition can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4743
Abstract: Development of highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with good photovoltaic parameters is an active research area of current global interest. In this article, Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite was used as the photoanode to fabricate dye sensitized solar cells. It was found that Ag-TiO2 based solar cells have a significantly increased photocurrent density resulting in a improved conversion efficiency of 10.026% compared to pure TiO2 based solar cells. The improved performance is attributed to two factors: (1) the increased light harvesting efficiency due to the plasmon enhanced optical absorption induced by Ag nanowires, and (2) the improved electron collection efficiency as a result of faster electron transport in the Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite photoanode. We believe that simple approaches such as the present one to develop nanoparticle based DSSCs would open up enormous possibilities in effective harvesting of solar energy for commercial applications.

Nagarjuna Reddy S, Prof. Prabhavathi S
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4744
Abstract: In the recent times virtual Multiple Input Multiple Output (VMIMO) has been conceptualized to achieve energy efficiency in the field of wireless communications. It gained the attention of many researchers as data gathering and fusion has become one of the most prominent issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The MIMO network is defined considering a group of sensor nodes participating in transmitting and receiving data packets over a WSN. Although configuring a WSN with multiple transmitters and receivers consumes very less amount of power during long term data transmission but it increases the sensor node in built circuitry power thus the energy optimization models are required to be considered. Due to the circuitry complexity and difficulty of integrating separate antenna, virtual MIMO concepts are applied in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for energy efficient communication to save energy and increase reliability in case of channel and signal fading. This paper introduces energy efficient VMIMO based routing and topology construction model which has been further integrated into centralized and distributed topology construction for WSNs. The proposed method also implements an energy efficient routing using static and dynamic access points. The performance evaluation of the proposed model shows the effectiveness with respect to various existing operational parameters.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4745
Abstract: The auditory system is a very sensitive and complex network. Diseases, drugs, noise, trauma and aging may have resulted in varying degrees of hearing loss, which makes hearing impairments one of the most common sensory disturbances in the world. The most effective way to compensate hearing loss is to employ a hearing aid system which is an integration of voice amplification, noise reduction, feedback suppression, automatic program switching, environmental adaptation, and etc. The basic function of a hearing aid system is to amplify sounds selectively and then transfer the processed signal to the ear. The processed signal which is transferred to the ear enables the deaf people to hear the voice of the person who is near to them.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.4746
Abstract: As the demand of Electricity is increasing day by day and is already more than the production of Electricity whereas reserves of fossil-fuel are depleting, there is a strong need to shift for other sources which are renewable energy sources. Regarding this, DC micro grids and their energy management of these renewable energy sources have gained more importance which is discussed in this paper. The main objective of the proposed system is to provide uninterrupted power supply to the load systems which are located at isolated sites of remote and rural areas. The proposed system mainly deals with implementation of Energy Management System (EMS) to DC microgrid using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. A coordinated and multivariable EMS is proposed that employs a wind turbine and a photovoltaic array as controllable generators by adjusting the pitch angle and the switching duty cycles and a storage system consisting of batteries. In order to realize constant current, constant voltage (IU) charging regime and increase the life span of batteries, the proposed EMS require being more flexible with the power curtailment feature. The proposed strategy is developed as an online nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm based on individual MPPTs of the system. The entire designed system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink Environment.

Abstract: This paper presents an intelligent traffic control system to pass emergency vehicles smoothly. Each individual vehicle is equipped with special radio frequency identification (RFID) tag (placed at a strategic location), and GPS for tracking the location, which makes it impossible to remove or destroy. We use RFID reader and PIC16F877A system-on-chip to read the RFID tags attached to the vehicle. It counts number of vehicles that passes on a particular path during a specified duration. It also determines the network congestion, and hence the green light duration for that path. If the RFID-tag-read belongs to the stolen vehicle, then a message is sent using GSM SIM300 to the police control room. In addition, when an ambulance is approaching the junction, it will communicate to the traffic controller in the junction to turn ON the green light. The main aim of the project is to design and develop the “Intelligent traffic control management system” it helps achieve maximum “green wave” and enhanced flow of traffic ensures diversion of traffic for faster movement of emergency service, smooth flow of traffic can ensure safety of both commuters and pedestrians.
