Power system state estimation with conventional method, Weighted Linear Least (WLS), is performed in two steps. In the first stage the obsevability of system is done and then is system is observed state estimation is carried out. Otherwise estimator is disrupted and is not able to estimate the states. The another estimator, Weighted least Absolute Value (WLAV) has presented which is able to estimate the system states in all situations but this estimator have auxiliary variable which reduces the convergence rate estimator. In this paper, a new method, Weighted Linear Least Square (WLLS), is proposed for power system state estimation. The proposed method, WLLS, has fewer variables than WLAV. The objective function of the proposed method is linear therefore this estimator is able to estimate the states in unobservability situations. Case studies on IEEE 14 bus system show WLLS has good accuracy and speed and is able to estimate the states in all conditions.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5874

This paper presents a visual tracking system to support the movement of the robot head for detecting the existence of objects. Object identification and object position estimation were conducted using image-based processing. The movement of the robot head was in four directions namely to the right, left, top, and bottom of the robot head. Based on the distance of the object, it shifted the object to many points to assess the accuracy of the process of tracking the object. The targeted objects are detected through several processes, namely normalization of RGB images, thresholding, and object marking. The process of tracking the object conducted by the robot head varied in 40 various object points with high accuracy. The further the object’s distance to the robot, the smaller the corner of the movement of the robot produced compared to the movement of the robot head to track an object that was closer even though with the same distance stimulant shift object. However, for the distance and the shift of the same object, the level of accuracy showed almost the same results. The results showed the movement of the robot head to track the object under the head of the robot produced the movement with a larger angular error compared to the movement of the robot head in another direction even though with the stimulant distance of the same object position and the distance shift of the same object.

Myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) is used to detect user’s intention to achieve a smooth interaction between human and machine. The performance of MPR is influenced by the features extracted and the classifier employed. A kernel extreme learning machine especially radial basis function extreme learning machine (RBF-ELM) has emerged as one of the potential classifiers for MPR. However, RBF-ELM should be optimized to work efficiently. This paper proposed an optimization of RBF-ELM parameters using hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a wavelet function. These proposed systems are employed to classify finger movements on the amputees and able-bodied subjects using electromyography signals. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the optimized RBF-ELM is 95.71% and 94.27% in the healthy subjects and the amputees, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimization using PSO only attained the average accuracy of 95.53 %, and 92.55 %, on the healthy subjects and the amputees, respectively. The experimental results also show that SW-RBF-ELM achieved the accuracy that is better than other well-known classifiers such as support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and k-nearest neighbor (kNN).

Single-sensor digital cameras capture image with the aid of masking the sensor surface along a colour filter array(CFA) such that every sensor pixel solely samples certain of three primary colour values i.e., R (red),G (green) and B (blue). To get a full-colour image, an interpolation method commonly referred in conformity with CFA demosaicking is required to estimate the other two contributions for producing a full-colour image. But, the clutter in imaging sensors not only corrupts the colour filter array but also introduces artifacts at some stage in the colour interpolation step and affects the characteristics of image. To acquire high quality full-colour image, a kind of viable and effective interpolation algorithm based over gradient is used. This technique can remove the noise effectively by retaining image border and detail data clearly.

A novel design and simulation results of 9-steps automatic AC voltage regulator based on one step-down transformer is presented in this paper. Avoiding the problem of surge at the AC load during controlling jump steps is done through the proposed design. Accurate and smooth controlling function is achieved as well. Instead of the necessity of increasing the number of taps of the used multi tap transformer for wide controlling range of fluctuated AC supply voltage, the proposed designed adopts using only two step down transformers with 10 Vrms, and 30 Vrms secondary voltages respectively. Through the controlling of the proposed design of AV voltage regulator, the resultant load voltage is equal the AC supply voltage as well as the suitable voltage step which may one of the following voltages; +40V, +30V, +20V, +10V, 0V, -10V, -20V, -30V, -40V. The electronic design is done Multisim software while the electrical circuit connection of step down transformers and relays contacts that is made by using PSIM software for power circuit design.

Dentists usually observe the tertiary dentin formation after pulp capping treatment by comparing periapical radiograph before and after treatment visually. However many dentists find difficulties to observe tertiary dentin and also they can’t measure exactly the thickness of the tertiary dentin. The aims of this study is to assist the dentists to measure the area of tertiary dentin and calculate the dentin formation using b-spline image processing. The dental radiograph of 38 patients of pulp capping in the Dental Hospital Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Each of patient visited dental hospital 3 times. First, the patient got an application of pulp capping material. Second, after one-week treatment and temporary restoration and the third, after more than one month with the composite as the final restoration. Every visited the patient take a radiograph. Dentist placed the dot from the patient's radiograph. The dots were combined and processed with digital image processing. The b-spline method changed the dot to one area. After the calculation, the dentist can see whether there was dentin formation which means it is one of the treatment success indicators. Dentist has the better view to measure the dentin formation by providing area value of its tertiary dentin thickness calculation. We compare the result to the program calculation using the b-spline method and visual observation from the dentist. This study indicated the thickness of tertiary dentin can be measured by this program with an accuracy of 94.2%. Therefore, dentist can make tertiary dentin thickness prediction from patient’s radiograph.

Some image’s regions have unbalance information, such as blurred contour, shade, and uneven brightness. Those regions are called as ambiguous regions. Ambiguous region cause problem during region merging process in interactive image segmentation because that region has double information, both as object and background. We proposed a new region merging strategy using fuzzy similarity measurement for image segmentation. The proposed method has four steps; the first step is initial segmentation using mean-shift algorithm. The second step is giving markers manually to indicate the object and background region. The third step is determining the fuzzy region or ambiguous region in the images. The last step is fuzzy region merging using fuzzy similarity measurement. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method is able to segment natural images and dental panoramic images successfully with the average value of misclassification error (ME) 1.96% and 5.47%, respectively.

This article presents the simple basic sizing approaches to decrease overall weight of motor and improve magnetic characteristics in PM motor. A review on various stator design in PM motor i.e. radial-flux or axial-flux with slotted or non-slotted is presented. As magnetic and electric loading influence the electromagnetic motor performance, modification on stator body are included in investigation for a desired electromagnetic torque performance. Influences of tooth body width sizing and additional stator slots sizing in PM motor equip with hemicycle stator design are carried out. Two designs are included, both having similar semi-circle stator but different in additional slot tooth within and over 180 ○ i.e. Design 2 and 3 respectively. For optimization using 2D-Finite Element Analysis, optimal tooth body sizing and additional stator tooth result the weight significantly reduce by 44%, 5.9 Nm output torque and 30% torque ripple.

This paper presents a new control scheme for grid and rotor side for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) using model based predictive control. The control strategy minimizes quality functions, which represent the desired behavior of the converter. The technique developed uses predictive direct power control to control the rotor and grid side converter. The main advantages of this method are no need of linear controllers, coordinates transformations or modulators for converter and inverter. Simulation results demonstrate robust, precise, and fast dynamic behavior of system.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i3.3474
