Abstract

Safety system such as smoke detector and fire alarm are considered to be a counter measure for fire accident. This safety system is important as it acts as a security measure against fire accident which could lead to death and destruction of properties. This paper propose an advanced gas leakage, fire and power supply failure monitoring system with Arduino UNO and GSM Module as its embedded system. Among the features of this system are their ability to detect the presence of smoke, gases and power failure at homes and factories, then the system will send a text message using Short Message Service (SMS) to the registered mobile number via GSM Module informing the user the situation and location of the incident. As a result, the user or person in charge can respond to the emergency situation accordingly and alert the fire departments or relevant authorities in time. This system could help the user to transform the way they protect their property and critical infrastructure. Successful safety and security transformation requires a combination of end user structural and operational changes as well as technology evolution enablement. This is in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (known as IR4.0), that propose substantial increase in the deployment of sensors for collecting, processing, and communicating measurement data in real time in order to diverse working environments, thus, resulting in advancement and convergence of technologies.

Abstract

Single-Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) is an advanced circuit topology that offer advantages such as the capability to regenerate energy back to the input, sinusoidal input and output current and a manageable input current displacement factor. By considering the opportunity of an advanced SPMC topology, further exploration on DC to DC operation is proposed. The four-quadrant operation of switching algorithm was developed to control the SPMC circuit. The voltage and current profile of each quadrant was investigated to validate the proposed switching control algorithm. As part of four quadrants DC to DC operation, the safe commutation switching algorithm was also developed in order to solve the commutation problem due to the used of an inductive load. The pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques was utilized to synthesize the output of the proposed converter. Results from MATLAB/Simulink are presented to validate the proposed circuit operation.

Abstract

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is increasingly adopted for E-bike charging; however, its performance is often constrained by inaccurate resonant tuning, inefficient capacitor selection, and improper switching-frequency operation, which lead to significant power loss and reduced transfer efficiency. This study addresses these limitations by formulating an optimized design methodology for selecting resonant capacitors and inverter switching frequency to achieve high-efficiency energy transfer. A 40-mm air gap between the transmitter and receiver coils is modeled using CST Studio Suite, where a 3D electromagnetic circuit co-simulation framework is applied to evaluate mutual inductance, resonant behavior, magnetic-field distribution, and S-parameter characteristics. Parametric sweeps combined with a convergence-based optimization algorithm identify the optimal resonant operating point, yielding a peak resonant frequency of 38.1 kHz, a maximum simulated transfer efficiency of 99%, and a deep reflection coefficient of -21.77 dB. The optimized configuration also demonstrates stable voltage and field distribution at resonance, confirming effective impedance matching. The main contributions of this work include: i) establishing a unified EM–circuit optimization workflow for determining resonant capacitance and switching frequency, ii) providing quantitative resonance parameters and performance indicators suitable for compact E-bike WPT systems, and iii) integrating mathematical modelling to validate CST-based predictions and ensure theoretical consistency. The proposed approach significantly enhances design accuracy and efficiency, offering a scalable and high-performance solution for next-generation low-power electric vehicle (EV) and E-bike wireless charging applications.
