This paper presents the dynamics of photovoltaic (PV) cell with Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) load. It is expected that PHEVs are going to be charged during the day with solar PV energy sources at the parking sites of PHEVs. The present work offers a complete system for charging PHEVs with PV cell where PHEVs load are modelled based on third order battery model. System dynamics are analyzed at maximum power point while Perturb and Observe (P&O) method is used to ensure the tracking of maximum power point from the PV cell. This paper analyses the impact of PHEV loads on the dynamic behaviour of a solar power system under both small disturbance and large change in radiation. Simulation results demonstrate that it is important to consider the dynamics of PHEVs load for charging with PV cell.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1239

ABSTRACT- The forest temperature microchange becomes critically important due to the study of global change. In this paper we develop a novel model to predict the measured data for forest temperature microchange by the wireless sensor network technology. The measurement system includes zigbee and Tmote Sky wireless sensor network system. The model is developed by the temperature second-order differential equation. From the measurement and model analysis, we found the temperature reaches maximum peak at different time due to the different dielectric constant of tree skin. The time difference is in the range of 1 to 2 hours. In model development we also found the distribution of temperature microchange has an exponential function distribution. After comparisons of model prediction with the measured data the correlation coefficient between them is 0.935736. The excellent prediction reaches in this model study.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1340

The main objective of this paper is to device a method for construction of state-feedback control law for a single area thermal power system .In this method, first plant model is transformed into the controller form and constructs a state feedback controller in the new coordinates and then using the inverse transformation; represent the controller in the original coordinates. While constructing the controller in the new coordinates, a part of the controller is used to cancel nonlinearities, thus resulting in a linear system in the new coordinates. Simulation results in a single reheat thermal system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear control scheme.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.559

Nontechnical losses (NTL) during transmission of electrical energy are a main problem in developing countries. It is so complicated for the utility companies to detect and fight the people responsible for the theft. Electricity theft forms a main chunk of non technical losses (NTL). These losses affect the quality of supply, increase load on the generating station, and affect tariff forced on actual consumers. This paper shows some common methods used by consumers for electricity theft and also proposes an architectural distribution system for theft detection using GSM based smart energy meter. The Inspiration of this work is to detect illegal consumers, preserve and successfully utilize energy. As well as smart meters are proposed to provide automatic readings/data of dissimilar parameters related to instantaneous power consumption via GSM. It will reduce the laborious task and financial expenditure by adopting the automatic meter reading instead of the manual meter reading process and bill data entry process.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1558

Nowadays, due to the ever increasing energy consumption and power supply optimization, it is required to construct new power plants, substations and transmission lines. In Iran, also, because of increasing demand for electrical energy, for a significant power loss reduction in power transmission over long distances, and to construct high transmission lines that lead to reduction in the economic costs of transmission lines, the transmission lines must be considered at extra high voltage (EHV) levels. These EHV levels should be compared with the low voltage levels in order to extract the benefits. Therefore, in this paper, a review has been conducted on the types of 765 kV transmission lines used in different countries and a comparison between them and the low voltage levels have been performed. Accordingly, the advantages of EHV transmission lines are summarized. Finally, designing a line of 765 kV single-circuit with 6 conductors per bundle based on existing standards is presented.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1591

Distributed Generation (DG) and capacitor placement and the tap setting of ULTC transformers can be used individually to improve the voltage profile and loss reduction. In this article, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to optimize the multi-objective function for DG and capacitor placement with tap setting of ULTC. The objective function consists the loss reduction, voltage improvement and increasing the available transfer capability (ATC) of the distribution network. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to IEEE 41 bus radial distribution network. The results show that this method has a better effect on improving the objective functions.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1590

March algorithms are known for memory testing because March-based tests are all simple and possess good fault coverage hence they are the dominant test algorithms implemented in most modern memory BIST. The proposed march algorithm is modified march c- algorithm which uses concurrent technique. Using this modified march c- algorithm the complexity is reduced to 8n as well as the test time is reduced greatly. Because of concurrency in testing the sequences the test results were observed in less time than the traditional March tests. This technique is applied for a memory of size 256x8 and can be extended to any memory size.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1587

This paper aims to present the design of a computer code (HPFCODE), forcalculate a power flow and power losses in power systems under theinfluence of harmonics, using the GUI in MATLAB. After described theprogram was run for two networks IEEE 6 nodes and IEEE 14 nodes. Thepower flow by Newton-Raphson method was calculated as the losses ofactive and reactive power in the lines, respectively, where the loads arelinear and nonlinear (Static Var Compensator(SVC), Thyristor controlledReactor(TCR), and Unified Power Flow Controller ((UPFC)), The resultswere almost consistent and show the influence of higher harmonics onpower losses in electrical networks.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1465

The objective of this work was to develop a variety of control systems for a Stop-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in hover flight. The Stop-Rotor UAV has capabilities of Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) like a helicopter and can convert from a helicopter mode to an airplane mode in mid-flight. Thus, this UAV can hover as a helicopter and achieve high mission range of an airplane. The stop-rotor concept implies that in mid-flight the thrust generating helicopter rotor stops and rotates the blades into airplane wings. The thrust in airplane mode is then provided by a pusher propeller. The aircraft configuration presents unique challenges in flight dynamics, modeling and control. In this paper a mathematical model is derived, and then the model is simulated with non-zero initial conditions. Various control systems are then implemented. The control techniques utilized are a linear control, optimal linear control and a nonlinear control with the objective of stabilizing the UAV in hover flight. Settling time and control effort are then compared across the different control systems.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1589
