Microgrid energy systems are one of suitable solutions to the available problems in power systems such as energy losses, and resiliency issues. Local generation by these energy systems can reduce the role of the upstream network, which is a challenge in risky conditions. Also, uncertain behavior of electricity consumers and generating units can make the optimization problems sophisticated. So, uncertainty modeling seems to be necessary. In this paper, in order to model the uncertainty of generation of photovoltaic systems, a scenario-based model is used, while the robust optimization method is used to study the uncertainty of load. Moreover, the stochastic scheduling is performed to model the uncertain nature of renewable generation units. Time-of–use rates of demand response program (DRP) is also utilized to improve the system economic performance in different operating conditions. Studied problem is modeled using a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). The general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) package is used to solve the proposed problem. A sample microgrid is studied and the results with DRP and without DRP are compared. It is shown that same robustness is achieved with a lower increase in the operation cost using DRP.

This research designed optical sensors using mercury lamp of 160W. These sensors provided voltage and current output. The design of optical sensors used the organic based material,i.e. dye carotene and phycocyanin. Fabrication of optical sensor in this research used spin coating deposition method. Based on the results of absorbance test, dye carotene had the largest absorption of light of 2.882 (a.u). Dye phycocyanin at length had the largest absorption of light of 2.787 (a.u). Combination between dye carotene and phycocyanin, for a 3: 1 (Carotene: Phycocyanin) ratio had a waveform like a dye carotene with a peak of 2.587 (au), whereas for 1: 3 had a waveform like phycocyanin with a peak of 2,279 (au). But, sample 1: 1 ratio had decrement the light absorbance rate with peaks of 1.183 (au). At the voltage testing result, combination of phycocyanin: carotene (1:3) had the best linearity. The response time of dye 3:1 (phycocyanin: carotene), 1:1, 1:3, phycocyanin, and carotene were 6.72 s, 2.469s, 1.171s, 2.66s and 7.01s respectively.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious disease in the world. TB is caused by a type of tubercle bacillus called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Early detection of TB is pivotal to decrease the morbidity and mortality. TB is diagnosed by using the chest x-ray and a sputum test. Challenges for radiologists are to avoid confused and misdiagnose TB and lung cancer because they mimic each other. Semi-automated TB detection using machine learning found in the literature requires identification of objects of interest. The similarity of tissues, veins and small nodules presenting the image at the initial stage may hamper the detection. In this paper, an approach to detect TB, that does not require segmentation of objects of interest, based on ensemble deep learning, is presented. Evaluation on publicly available datasets show that the proposed approach produced a model that recorded the best accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 91.0%, 89.6% and 90.7% respectively.

Nowadays, many residential and commercial buildings that used electricity needs to take care the power factor to avoid penalty from the utility companies. A power factor that is close to one provides a good indicator for the overall power quality. Therefore, power factor improvement plays a significant role to reduce electricity consumption and more efficient system operation. In this paper, the design of power factor meter using Internet of Things will be discussed. Voltage and current sensors outputs were interfaced to Arduino, in which the real power and apparent power were calculated to determine the power factor. Results showed the effectiveness of our proposed device in measuring power factor. Moreover, the measured data points were logged in an SD card and can be accessed by computer with Matlab graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, IoT framework analysis for smart meter which can provide power factor improvement, remote monitoring, and data logging was further discussed in this paper.

Currently, problem in assembly line has created so much attention, particularly in manufacturing area. Similar to this case study as they faced with problems regarding workstation in production line of electrical industry. There exist some cases where workstations in assembly line are experienced with bottleneck and suffered from high idle time. Thus, four heuristic methods are used for minimizing number or workstations and improve the bottleneck problems at the same time. In this case study, LCR, RPW and LPT have successfully minimized the number of workstations from 19 to 16. This solution has affected the layout of assembly line. Different from SPT that manage to improve the bottleneck among workstations by reducing number of workstations from 19 to 17 without changing the line layout. Therefore, both solution has brought an option for an engineer to choose which decision to be used in this assembly line in order to increase the line efficiency.

A novel design of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) based surround device in a loudspeaker system was studied in this article. The main objective of this research is to design a new surround device of the loudspeaker that can be easily controlled its damping. Therefore, it was predicted that the audio pressure level on the loudspeaker could be easily manipulated at a different sound source by applying a certain magnetic field. This function could not be reached using one conventional speaker system. Firstly, a set of an electromagnetic device containing MRF was designed to replace the conventional rubber surround. The magnetic circuit was then evaluated using the finite element method magnetics to study the flux distribution in the MRF area. The current was varied from 0.25 to 0.75 A by an interval of 0.25 A. The magnetic flux resulted from the simulation was then logged and used as the based value for predicting the change of shear yield stress. The base properties of the shear yield stress of the MRF against the magnetic flux was obtained from previous experimental result. Therefore, it was hopefully the prediction could be closed to the real system. Based on the simulation result, the shear yield stress varied from 43 to 49 Mpa or about 15 % increment. A simple experimental work was carried out. By applying particular direct current into the coil, the sound quality generated by the loudspeaker shows different values. Based on the preliminary experiment, the level of decibel decreased about 3 dB as the application of magnetic fields. The idea has been proven in this preliminary experimental evaluation.

The amplitude dependent muscle activity detection algorithms of the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals are very sensitive to the changes in the background noise levels and the performance of these amplitude-based methods is highly deteriorated when the Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) of the sEMG signal is low. sEMG signals of deep and small muscles as well as sEMG signals recorded from patients that have neuromuscular diseases may not meet this SNR requirement which motivates the need for amplitude independent algorithms that can detect weak muscle activities. Moreover, the sEMG signal amplitude is not constant during the recording time due to the variation in the characteristics of the electrode-skin interface and due to the changes in the ground reference level. Therefore, the performance of the muscle activity detection algorithms should not be affected by the involuntary amplitude variations of the sEMG signal in order to achieve reliable control of robotic devices intended for disabled people.To accentuate the importance of the amplitude independent muscle activity detection methods over the amplitude dependent detection methods, a comparative study has been conducted in this paper between the performance of an amplitude independent muscle activity detection algorithm (FLA-MSE algorithm) and three amplitude dependent algorithms with respect to the detection capability of weak muscle activities and with respect to the immunity against false alarms. The results have showed that the performance of the amplitude independent algorithm outperformed the performance of the amplitude dependent algorithms for detecting weak muscle activities and for robustness against false alarms.

All children throughout the world aged 4 to 17 are going to schools every weekdays. The most common transport used by children is school bus. In many countries accross the globe, most children uses school bus services to go to school and return back home especially to working parents. Although safety of their children is always the main concern of all parents especially the young ones, they have to rely on the bus services due to time constraints during working hours. Sometimes parents need to call the bus driver to ensure their children has reached home or school. This will create inconvenience to bus driver and may lead to other unwanted consequences. Realizing the root of this problem, a school bus safety and security system has been proposed. The school bus safety and security system is a solution based on Short Messaging System that notifies parents if their children have safely arrived at home or school. RFID and GSM technologies are the main technique proposed in this project. RFID is used for several purposes; to identify the children and parents’ contact number, and attendance monitoring through head count system. GSM is used as a commucation platform to inform parents’ on their children’s movement via SMS. Several tests have been conducted to analyse the overall performance of the developed hardware prototype. From the results, it can be concluded that the developed project is successfully identify the children based on their unique ID, send a text message through SMS to parents with required information; and additional feature of attendance checker. The hardware prototype was successfully tested for children’s identification, attendance and SMS notifications to parents. As a consequence, this project could increase the safety and security solution for children travelling with school bus transportation and give parents peace of mind.

The distribution of scheduler from user inquiries in the clouds is complex. In keeping up with the cloud computing environment and the inquirers, the clouds meet with some problematic load balancing complications as an improving load balancing tool induces the rigorous efficiency of the cloud based website’s user access. Overloaded or underloaded conditions originate processing catastrophe regarding the prolonged execution time, bandwidth hog, malfunction, and etc. Besides, to manipulate Erlang concurrent tasks is another skyward situation. Hence, the load balancing is obliged to exhaust all mentioned conditions. The proposed load balancing algorithm for Erlang concurrent tasks (those are and could also be autonomous and unstable.) on VMware workstations is introduced. There are several load patterns within the clouds corresponding to CPU’s load (utilization), memory load (queue size), link capacity load (bandwidth), and so on. The proposed load balancing is to spot underloaded and overloaded conditions then stabilizes the weight amidst computing nodes. There are countless load balancing approaches in the cloud environment to examine performance parameters. A short outline of corresponding performance metrics in the review and their findings are presented. To investigate the fit efficiency of the proposed algorithm, the simulation is applied then results based on the proposed method are compared to the existing ones. The outcomes settle the weight balancing, outperform others when executing Erlang traffic, and are catered in the context.

Network security is an important aspect in maintaining computer network systems and personal information from being illegally accessed by third parties. The major problem that frequently occurs in computer network systems is the failure in detecting possible network-attacks. Apart from that, the process of recognizing the type of attack that occurs is very crucial as it will determine the elimination process that should take place to counter the intrusion. This paper proposes the application of standard Genetic Algorithm (GA) that combines with immune algorithm process to enhance the computer system’s capability in recognizing possible intrusion occurrence in a computer system. Simulation was conducted numerous times to test the effectiveness of the proposed intrusion detection system by manipulating the parameter values for genetic operators utilized in GA. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown in the gathered results and the analysis conducted further supports and proves that Immune Genetic Algorithm (IGA) has the capability to predict the occurrence of intrusion in computer network.
