A comparative study of methods for fractional system identification is presented in this paper. The fractional system is modeled by the help of a non integer integrator which is approximated by a J+1 dimensional modal system composed of an integrator and first order systems. This identification method is compared to other techniques available in the Matlab toolbox. The model parameters are estimated by an output-error technique using a non linear iterative optimization algorithm. Numerical simulations show the performance of the modal approach for modeling and identification.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i2.2130

Cow’s behavior classification helps people to monitor cow activities, thus the health and physiological periods of cows can be well tracked. To classify the behavior of cows, the data from the 3-axis acceleration sensor mounted on their neck is often used. Data acquisition and preprocessing of sensor data is required in this device. We acquire data from the 3-axis acceleration sensor mounted on the cows’neck and send to the microcontrollter. At the microcontroller, a proposed decision tree is applied in real-time manner to classify four important activities of the cows (standing, lying, feeding, and walking). Finally, the results can be sent to the server through the wireless transmission module. The test results confirm the reliability of the proposed device.

Simple constructional features with no windings on rotor circuit and robustness make switched reluctance motor (SRM) a most used motors in industrial applications. Peak motor voltage rating depends on the rated voltage of the power switches. In conventional asymmetrical converter driving SRM, voltage rating of the motor depends on rating of power electronic switches in converter. Demand to rise the motor rating insists to put pressure on converter switching components which results in increased switching losses. A cascaded converter topology for SRM reduces the rating of switching components as compared to conventional converters for SRM. This paper presents a cascaded converter fed SRM drive with reduced switching losses. The paper presents a simplified hysteresis current control (HCC) for cascaded converter fed SRM. Simplified HCC control method reduces switching losses as HCC is applied to only one bridge of cascaded converter. Though the performance of the SRM remains same with cascaded converter fed SRM with HCC applied to only one bridge or to two bridges and with conventional asymmetrical converter, the switching losses are reduced to a great extent when HCC applied to one bridge of cascaded converter fed SRM. Performance of SRM is illustrated with conventional asymmetrical converter fed SRM and is compared to cascaded converter while HCC applied to only one bridge and applied to two bridges of cascaded converter. Proposed work is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.

This article describes the performance results of the first renewable microgrid of Chocó, Colombia, monitored over two years (2016-2017) adding an economic approach. A virtual platform is used to analyze, in real time, the microgrid power production, while a meteorological station measures the solar irradiance and the ambient temperature. The results indicated that the generation of AC PV energy was 21,817 kWh/year on 2016 and 23,301 kWh/year on 2017. The photovoltaic system’s average efficiency was 10.3 % on 2016 and 11.09 % on 2017. An economical analysis of the renewable microgrid is also presented using RETScreenTM software. The results show a net present value of $237,028 USD for an evaluation period of 25 years with annual energy savings of $4,622 USD. A calculation on greenhouse gas emissions show that 22.9 tCO2 per year are avoided when using the solar energy tech.

The variable selection is an important technique the reducing dimensionality of data frequently used in data preprocessing for performing data mining. This paper presents a new variable selection algorithm uses the heuristic variable selection (HVS) and Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR). We enhance the HVS method for variab le selection by incorporating (MRMR) filter. Our algorithm is based on wrapper approach using multi-layer perceptron. We called this algorithm a HVS-MRMR Wrapper for variables selection. The relevance of a set of variables is measured by a convex combination of the relevance given by HVS criterion and the MRMR criterion. This approach selects new relevant variables; we evaluate the performance of HVS-MRMR on eight benchmark classification problems. The experimental results show that HVS-MRMR selected a less number of variables with high classification accuracy compared to MRMR and HVS and without variables selection on most datasets. HVS-MRMR can be applied to various classification problems that require high classification accuracy.

We present a new development of microstrip antenna structure combining a simple circular structure with a ring antenna structure as the parasitic element to improve the antenna gain and bandwidth for 5G mobile application. The proposed antenna was fed by a 50Ω microstrip feeding line due to its advantages in performance. The antenna was designed and simulated using a single substrate with double layered copper (top and bottom) with the radiating patch on the top layer and full ground on the bottom layer of the same substrate. Three antennas have been designed namely; design1, design2 and design3 to complete the research works.The antennas ware simulated and optimized at 18 GHz using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) with permittivity, r = 2.2 and thickness, h = 1.57mm on low-loss material Roger RT-Duroid 5880 substrate. The antennas ware reasonably well matched at their corresponding frequency of operations. The simulation and measurement results have shown that the antenna works well. The simulation results have shown that the three antennas works well at the selected frequency. The final simulated antenna for design1, design2 and design3 has been fabricated to measure the performance and also to validate the simulation result with the measurement result. The measurement data for antenna design1, design2 and design3 shows frequency shift of 3% from the simulation result. The final protype of design3 gives 6.6dB gain, -14.51dB return loss, 180MHz bandwidth, and antenna efficiency of 53.9%. All three antennas ware measured using Vector network analyzer (VNA) and Anechoic chamber.

The emergence of cuprates as a high Tc superconductor gave high hopes in the discovery of a room temperature superconductor. It is almost three decades and the highest critical temperature attained on the cuprates is about 135K. A brief overview was conducted on the progress made so far on the cuprates. A mathematical approach was used to design a formula which could determine the experimental results of critical temperature of versed cuprates superconductors. The result of our findings shows that the possibility of attaining the experimental room temperature cuprates superconductor seems very narrow. The study recommended an elaborate approach on the hybridization of cuprates for future research. Hence, there is possibility of having cuprates with wide engineering application.

The Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) is derived from the Unified power-flow controller (UPFC).The DPFC is a solution to control the power flow in a single transmission line. By eliminating the common DC link and distributing the three phase series converters of the UPFC, a new concept of the Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) is achieved. The active power exchange between the two converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency in the DPFC. It inherits the advantages of the UPFC and the DFACTS concept, which allow power flow control for multi-line systems with relatively low cost and high reliability without additional cost. This paper presents two types of DPFCs; one is one three phase shunt converter and four three phase series converters. Another model is one three phase shunt converter and nine single phase series converters. By using three phase series converters, no common dc link between shunt and series converters but cost will increases. By using single phase series converters, no common dc link between shunt and series converters and cost also decreases. Detailed simulations are carried out on two- machine systems to illustrate the control features of these devices and their influence to increase power transfer capability and every series converter consists of D-FACTS concept so Reliability also improves because failure of series converters does not effect.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i4.357
