Malaysia is one of the countries with the highest lightning strikes incidence in the world. Yet, Malaysians are still taking a proper lightning protection indifferent manner. This might be due to lack of knowledge on lightning characteristics in Malaysia. Therefore, this study presents an unusual lightning phenomenon with multiple grounding points that might cause a disastrous event, called fork lightning. Between November and December 2018, there were three different patterns of fork lightning mechanism successfully recorded by using high speed camera with 2800 frame per second. Temporal analysis of the lightning progress had been done on the samples based only on the camera records which then played back by using Wondershare Filmora video editor. These three samples of fork lightning images were acquired among 37 lightning events recorded in this study. The first sample of fork lightning fully established the forked branch 0.35 ms before the return stroke occurred. On the contrary, second fork lightning established its forked branch 0.35 ms after the return stroke. Both forked branches for third sample simultaneously fully established with the return stroke event. Obviously, these events had striking the ground in up to ten milliseconds of time duration. Thus, there is always a possibility that they might cause serious damage and should not be neglected in designing a lightning protection system.

Lightning over-voltage amplitude of equipments on different branch nodes of the arterials has been obtained after the modeling and simulation analysis based on the EMTP (electromagnetic transients program) were done on the lightning over-voltage of a 500kV hydroelectric station was with the system’s worst working condition (single-line, single-transforming, and the line tower on the near side of 500kv hydroelectric station’s GIS was struck by lightning.) Thus, precise data have been acquired to select suitable equipments and verify the resisting lightning performance of the station. Finally, reasonable measures (such as reducing pulse resistance of line tower) are proposed to improve the comprehensive lightning resisting level of hydroelectric stations.

The Power quality fluctuations of the distributed power system show a serious impact on the robust and sustainable operation of the distributed power system. These power quality fluctuations may be caused due to several reasons like leakage, faults and ageing of the lines. This project proposes a new algorithm to generate reference voltage for a controlled mode distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) operating in voltage-control mode. The proposed scheme exhibits several advantages compared to traditional voltage-controlled DSTATCOM where the reference voltage is arbitrarily taken as 1.0 p.u. The proposed scheme ensures that unity power factor (UPF) is achieved, while regulating the voltage at the load terminal, during load change, which is not possible in the traditional method. Also, the compensator injects lower currents and, therefore, reduces losses in the feeder and voltage-source inverter. This scheme allows DSTATCOM to tackle power-quality issues by providing power factor correction, harmonic elimination, load balancing, and voltage regulation based on the load requirement. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

In order to solve the amplitude attenuation of electric fast transient (EFT) generator operating in high frequency, the charging and discharging process of energy storage capacitor in EFT generator are analyzed, the main circuit voltage variation mathematical model is established, the parameters of main loop circuit and the parameters of switch driving waveform which affect burst amplitude are discussed. Through the simulation, this paper puts forward effective methods to overcome burst amplitude attenuation in high frequency. The simulation results show that when the frequency is low, the duty ratio of drive signal have little effect on energy storage capacitor voltage amplitude attenuation. when the charging resistance is less than 500 Ω, the duty ratio of drive signal is less than 0.125, the repetition frequency of burst reaches 1.2 MHz, the amplitude attenuation of energy storage capacitor voltage is less than 9%, the amplitude of burst satisfies IEC61000-4-4 standards.

The cost minimization with due dates in cloud computing workflow is an intractable problem. Taking the characteristics in cloud computing of pay-per-use and resource virtualization into account, in this paper, we present a QoS-based hybrid particle swarm optimization (GHPSO) to schedule applications to cloud resources. In GHPSO, crossover and mutation of genetic algorithm is embedded into the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), so that it can play a role in the discrete problem, in addition, variability index, changing with the number of iterations, is proposed to ensure that population can have higher global search ability during the early stage of evolution, without the premature phenomenon. A hill climbing algorithm is also introduced into the PSO in order to improve the local search ability and to maintain the diversity of the population. The simulation results show that the GHPSO achieves better performance than standard particle swarm algorithm used in minimize costs within a given execution time.

Pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) is well known as a non-destructive technique for testing and describing space charge profiles in the insulation. Degradation due to moisture, ageing, external flashover, partial discharge and space charge are considered as insulation defects that is an issue in high voltage insulator. Space charge may distort the internal electric field that may lead to an electrical breakdown. For instance, a method based on an acoustic phenomenon can be used to describe the space charge profiles. This paper compares several earlier researches on different specimen of PEA method and reviews their results to find the space charge distribution profiles. The scope of the review includes types of methods used. The acoustic technique is considered for this study. It has been observed that the PEA technique successfully gives the same result as theoretical that is based on the obtained profile. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) composite demonstrates about 89 % lower charge density value compared to cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and polypropylene (PP) composite. While the electric field value of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) sample is 75 % lower than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sample. This study found that the time interval, specimen thickness and the electric field sway the space charge profiles.

Protection of equipment, safety of persons and continuity of power supply are the main objectives of the grounding system. For its accurate design, it is essential to determine the potential distribution on the earth surface and the equivalent resistance of the system. The knowledge of such parameters allows checking the security offered by the grounding system when there is a failure in the power systems.A new method to design an earthing systems using Finite Element Method (FEM) is presented in this article.In this approach, the influence of the moisture and temperature on the behavior of soil resistivity are considered in EARTHING system DESIGN. The earthing system is considered to be a rod electrode and a plate type electrode buried vertically in the ground.The resistance of the system which is a very important factor in the design process is calculated using Finite Element Method. Finite Element Method is used to estimate the solution of the partial differential equation that governs the system behavior. COMSOL Multiphysics 4.4 which is one of the packages that work with the FEM is used as a tool in this design.Finally the values of the resistance obtained by COMSOL Multiphysics are compared with the proven analytical formula values for the ground resistance, in order to prove the work done with COMSOL Multiphysics.

The recognition of Arabic handwritten is received at the same interest as other Latin languages. In optical character recognition (OCR), handwriting Arabic recognition is considered as one of the critical and difficult tasks in the various scientific area. The main issues of this matter were due to the lack of public Arabic handwriting databases and the cursive nature of Arabic writing. In this paper, a new benchmark database is built for the Arabic and English off-line handwritten digits Recognition. The original form is divided into three groups: Arabic digits, English digits, and word Arabic digits which written five times by 100 different academic staff and students of university writers. Our database contains 14500 images; divided into two subsets of training and testing to help researchers through evaluating and comparing results obtained from their systems.

As pulmonary CT has a lot of noise produced by thoracic imaging and partial volume effect, it is difficult that the computer segments out the correct blood vessels for plain thoracic CT. Therefore, after a deep investigation into the enhancement, segmentation methods and the upgrading ability of fractional differential operation, the paper proposes an automatic segmentation method for pulmonary vessel in the plain thoracic CT scans. The method steps are: pulmonary CT images have been enhanced with fractional differential operator firstly, and the image regions have been divided into sub-regions based on two control indexes, then a local optimal threshold is used for the vessels segmentation in each sub-region. The experiment results illustrate: the proposed method can segment out more complete low-level vessels, and the obtained vessel networks has more correct detail information. Compared with traditional methods, it has more accurate segmentation ability for pulmonary vessels in plain CT scans. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v10i4.864
