This paper presents a novel smart local backup protection SLBP used for the support and backup of the protective relays in a smart substation. The proposed SLBP is based on the IEC61850 standards and the concept consists of the acquisition of Generic Object Oriented Substation Event GOOSE used for tripping and interlocks exchange between Intelligent Equipment Devices IEDs and the reading of the Sampled Value SV existing in the process bus coming from Mergin Units MU or Non-Conventional Instrument Transformers NCIT. Several logical schemes to protect different zones of the substation are presented and how can be integrated using data in the substation automation system. The SLBP was developed using an open source library and free operating system. Moreover, a low cost prototype is presented in order to evaluate the efficiency and the operation of the SLBP under diverse scenarios of the proposed logical protective schemes such us breaker failure and overcurrent protection

Energy loss is a big challenge in digital logic design primarily due to impending end of Moore’s Law. Increase in power dissipation not only affects portability but also overall life span of a device. Many applications cannot afford this loss. Therefore, future computing will rely on reversible logic for implementation of power efficient and compact circuits. Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) is a fundamental component of all processors and designing it with reversible logic is tedious. The various ALU designs using reversible logic gates exist in literature but operations performed by them are limited. The main aim of this paper is to propose a new design of reversible ALU and enhance number of operations in it. This paper critically analyzes proposed ALU with existing designs and demonstrates increase in functionality with 56% reduction in gates, 17 % reduction in garbage lines, 92 % reduction in ancillary lines and 53 % reduction in quantum cost. The proposed ALU design is coded in Verilog HDL, synthesized and simulated using EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool-Xilinx ISE design suit 14.2. RCViewer+ tool has been used to validate quantum cost of proposed design.

PID controller has been widely used as one of the basic property controllers in industry. However, tuning PID parameters is not simple and also has a few problems in handling slow response systems, such as boiler. Therefore, the Model Driven PID (MD PID) control is designed for solving these problems, especially for plants or processes with slow response. The MD PID is using the model of the plant itself as the basic model of the controller. In this research, we will show the performance of water heater system step response with MD PID controller compared to the conventional PID controller (PI controller). The MD PID closed-loop system is expected to give fast response, stable, and no overshoot.

This work deals with the energetic validation of a new optimized high voltage power supply for micro-waves generators with N=2 magnetrons that are used as an energy source in industrial applications. In this article, we will apply an optimization strategy that aims at improving the nominal functioning of the optimized power supply with N=2 magnetrons. Unlike research work already done an this topic, this article treats the correct energetic functioning of the two magnetrons. An equivalent scheme in π of the transformer model is presented with the geometrical parameters taken as reference. This model has been tested with the help of the simulation software Matlab-Simulink close to nominal operation. The theorical results compared to the experimental measures are in good conformity. Following that, we will validate the functioning of the new optimized power supply by calculating the average power and then comparing it with that which was found for the power supply with geometricals parameters taken as reference.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1588

Road users make vital decisions to safely maneuver their vehicles based on the road markers, which need to be correctly classified. The road markers classification is significantly important especially for the autonomous car technology. The current problems of extensive processing time and relatively lower average accuracy when classifying up to five types of road markers are addressed in this paper. Two novel real time video processing methods are proposed by extracting two formulated features namely the contour number, , and angle, ???? to classify the road markers. Initially, the camera position is calibrated to obtain the best Field of View (FOV) for identifying a customized Region of Interest (ROI). An adaptive smoothing algorithm is performed on the ROI before the contours of the road markers and the corresponding two features are determined. It is observed that the achievable accuracy of the proposed methods at several non-urban road scenarios is approximately 96% and the processing time per frame is significantly reduced when the video resolution increases as compared to that of the existing approach.

Spectrum sensing is one of the functionalities of cognitive radios to exploit spectrum holes without interrupting primary users transmission. The more efficient of the spectrum sensing, the highest the throughput of secondary and primary network. This paper presents spectrum sensing method based on phase type modelling that is simple to do for secondary users to conclude about the channel state (idle or busy) under collision constraint. The parameters of phase type model can be adjusted based on desired operating point of the receiver sensor in its ROC curve. The presented approach can run a trade off between sensing time and the two error probabilities of sensor false alarm and miss-detection.

This paper presents an efficient word spotting system applied to handwritten Arabic documents, where images are represented with bag-of-visual-SIFT descriptors and a sliding window approach is used to locate the regions that are most similar to the query by following the query-by-example paragon. First, a pre-processing step is used to produce a better representation of the most informative features. Secondly, a region-based framework is deployed to represent each local region by a bag-of-visual-SIFT descriptors. Afterward, some experiments are in order to demonstrate the codebook size influence on the efficiency of the system, by analyzing the curse of dimensionality curve. In the end, to measure the similarity score, a floating distance based on the descriptor’s number for each query is adopted. The experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed processing steps in the word spotting system.

This paper presents a Smart Home and Ambient Assisted Living (SHAAL) system that has been developed and tested in a real experimental home environment. SHAAL system is designed on wireless sensor network (WSN) linked to the cloud network on the Internet. The development of SHAAL is divided into two phases: the design of SHAAL network and the development of SHAAL applications. SHAAL network is made up of the home network which is the WSN, and the cloud network. The network is designed using TelG mote that operates under Zigbee technology and includes various sensor modules for SHAAL system. The cloud network consists of the gateway, the server and user devices running on third generation (3G) network. Using priority scheduling algorithm for data transmission, it is shown that the performance delay of this system on the test-bed experiment is 34.2 percent less compared to the theoretical study. The implementation of the experimental testbed has proven that SHAAL has been successfully designed and deployed in the real world.

In testing Mixed Signal Devices such as Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Converters, some dynamic parameters, such as Differential Non-Linearity and Integral Non-linearity, are very critical to evaluating devises performance. However, such analysis has been notorious for complexity and massive compiling process. Therefore, this research will focus on testing dynamic parameters such as Differential Non-Linearity by simulating numerous numbers of bits Analog to Digital Converters and test the output signals base on new testing algorithms of Wavelet transform based on Hilbert process. Such a new testing algorithm should enhance the testing process by using less compiling data samples and prompt testing results. In addition, new testing results will be compared with the conventional testing process of Histogram algorithms for accuracy and enactment.
