This paper has presents the integrated approach for three-phase PWM AC-DC converter for obtaining the symmetrical components under unbalanced supply condition. The input structures for conventional direct power control have been modified with three simpler sequence networks instead it coupled by a detailed three-phase system method. In the cases of an unbalanced three-phase system, it causes the presence of unbalanced current and voltages thus produce the negative components on the grid voltage. Otherwise, the unbalance voltage in a three-phase power system causes severe performance degradation of a grid-connected VSI. Therefore, the imbalance voltage can be resolved by separating from the individual elements of voltage and current into symmetrical components called as a sequencing network. Consequently, the input power is relatively improved during unbalanced condition. It proven through the measurement of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) from the conventional direct power control in individual elements is much higher compared than it resolved in separate components. Therefore, three symmetrical components are necessary for imbalance supply condition to obtaining almost sinusoidal grid currents.

The power flow controlled in the electric power network is one of the main factors that affected the modern power systems development. The Static Series Compensatior with storage energy, is a FACTS powerful device that can control the active power flow control of multiple transmission lines branches. In this paper, a simulation model of power control using static series compensator with parallel transmission lines is presented. The control system using adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic is proposed. The results show the ability of static series compensator with storage energy to control the flow of powers components "active and reactive power" in the controlled line and thus the overall power regulated between lines.

We are considering the problem of maximum power point tracking MPPT in wind energy conversion system (WECS). The paper proposes a new control strategy to maximize the wind aerodynamic energy captured in variable speed wind turbine with a separately excited DC-Generator and transformed to the battery through a controlled DC-DC converter. The proposed strategy controls the stip speed ratio via the rotor angular speed to an optimum point at wich the power coefficient is maximal. The controller is designed using the backstepping technique. A formal analysis based on lyapunov stability is developed to describe the control system performances. In addition to closed-loop global asymptotic stability, it is proved that the controller actually meets the MPPT requirement. The above results are confirmed by simulations.

Global Burden of Disease Report, released in Sept 2017, shows that Cardio- vascular Diseases caused 1.7 million deaths (17.8%) in 2016 and it is the leading cause of deaths in India [1]. According to the Indian Heart Association, 25% of all heart attacks happen under the age of 40. In most cases, the initial heart attacks are often ignored. Even post-diagnosis, as per government data [2], 50% of heart attack cases reach the hospital in more than 400 minutes against the ideal window time of 180 minutes; post which damage is irreversible. The delay is often attributed to delay in reaching a hospital or receiving primary aid. In India, traffic conditions also add to the grimace of the situation. Although the government is taking various measures; a holistic solution is required to minimize the delay at each of the steps like accessing the patient situation, contacting the Medical aid or making available the nearest aid possible. In this paper, we aim at providing the holistic solution using the Internet of Things technology (IOT) along with data analytics. IoT enables real-time capturing and computation of medical data from smart sensors built-in wearable devices. The amalgamation of Internet-based services with Medical Things (Smart sensors) enhance the chances of survival of patients. The proposed system analyses the inputs collected from the sensors fit with the patients prone to cardiovascular diseases to ascertain the emergency situation. In addition, to these data, the system also considers age, maximum and minimum heart rate. Based on computational results received from the input parameters, the system triggers the alert to emergency contacts such as the close relatives of the patient, doctors, the hospitals and nearby ambulance. The proposed system combines with the optimized navigation platform to guide the medical assistance to find the fastest route.

With the continued growth of mobile devices usage, wireless communications improvement, and cloud computing evolution, many educational institutions around the world, especially universities and colleges, began to provide their students with mobile learning systems based on cloud computing. The widespread, ubiquitous, and flexible natures of mobile devices make mobile learning an attractive alternative in education, particularly when integrating it with cloud computing which is the up-to-date technology that delivers computing hardware and software as services. However, the participatory between mobile learning and cloud computing as a cloud based mobile learning (CBML) becomes one of the important methods in the learning process. Many researches have attempted to combine the unique features of CBML in a form of frameworks. These frameworks have been designed to identify, categorize, or evaluate the major components of the CBML system. This paper is an attempt to identify the important role of cloud computing technology in mobile learning, investigate the main advantages and limitations of CBML systems, and explore the previously designed CBML frameworks.

In this paper, new expressions for the effective radius and fringing capacitance have been derived to predict accurately the resonant frequency of the two-layered circular microstrip patch antenna. These expressions are obtained based on genetic algorithm and the data base is generated using moment method (MOM). The proposed model is very simple, fast, and valid for an entire range of permittivities and thicknesses of two-layered substrate. The present model has been validated by comparing our numerical results obtained for the resonant frequencies with measurements. Finaly, the effect of the two-layered substrate on the resonant charateristics of the circular microstrip patch antenna has been presented.

This paper investigates the price effect to the charging demand coming from electric vehicles and then evaluates the performance of a pre-reservation mechanism using the real-life demand patterns. On the charging network in Jeju city, the occupancy rates for 3 price groups, namely, free, medium-price, and expensive chargers, are separated almost evenly by about 9.0 %, while a set of chargers dominates the charging demand during hot hours. The virtual pre-reservation scheme matches electric vehicles to a time slot of a charger so as not only to avoid intolerable waiting time in charging stations systematically but also to increase the revenue of service providers, taking into account both bidding levels specified by electric vehicles and preference criteria defined by chargers. The performance analysis results obtained by prototype implementation show that the proposed pre-reservation mechanism improves the revenue of service providers by up to 9.5 % and 42.9 %, compared with the legacy FCFS and reservation-less walk-in schemes for the given performance parameter sets.

In recent years fuel cells have become prominent as an alternative source of energy to meet the society’s energy requirements. A control strategy derived from variable structure theory known as Sliding Mode Control (SMC) was proposed for an Isolated Boost topology which was mostly used in fuel cell systems. Converter operation and its detailed mathematical modelling are also presented. Then the converter with the control strategy suggested is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and compared with other controllers. The results show that transient response of the converter is very fast and steady state error is reduced throughout the load change period with proposed control topology.

In this research an internet of things (IoT) system is designed for the purpose of industrial environment monitoring and control. The system is mainly composed of control and sensor units. Control unit has the responsibility of managing the received data form the sensor unit and then executing the developed control algorithm based on the measured parameters. NodeMCU development kit is used as the core of the control unit. The senor unit contains gas and temperature sensors utilized for measuring the temperature and concentration of toxic gases in the monitored space. A buzzer has also been embedded in the sensor unit for alerting the occupants acoustically in the danger situations. If the monitored temperature gets higher or lower than the set levels, the air conditioning system will be automatically operated. Similarly, the fan (ventilation) system will be operated if the level of toxic gases becomes high. A mobile application, based on Blynk platform, is then developed to enable the wireless monitoring and control of the environment by the in charge people. In addition to the automatic and wireless control the manual control capability is considered in the developed IoT system.

Generally, for remote places extension of grid is uneconomical and difficult. Off-grid hybrid power systems (OGHPS) has renewable energy sources integrated with conventional sources. OGHPS is very significant as it is the only source of electric supply for remote areas. OGHPS under study has Induction generator (IG) for wind power generation, Photo-Voltaic source with inverter, Synchronous generator (SG) for Diesel Engine (DE) and load. Over-rated PV-inverter has capacity to supply reactive power. SG of DE has Automatic voltage regulator for excitation control to regulate terminal voltage. Load and IG demands reactive power, causes reactive power imbalance hence voltage fluctuations in OGHPS. To manage reactive power for voltage control, two control structures with Proportional–Integral controller(PI), to control inverter reactive power and SG excitation by automatic voltage regulator are incorporated. Improper tuning of controllers lead to oscillatory and sluggish response. Hence in this test system both controllers need to be tune optimally. This paper proposes novel intelligent computing algorithm , Enhanced Bacterial forging algorithm (EBFA) for optimal reactive power controller for voltage control in OGHPS. Small signal model of OGHPS with proposed controller is tested for different disturbances. simulation results are compared with conventional method , proved the effectiveness of EBFA.
