The increasing use of wind generation requests modifications in the electric power systemsplanning conception, because it includes one more uncertainty component, which needs to bestudied properly and modeled. Understanding the failures rates and downtimes of wind turbinesis dicult not only because of the considerable range of designs and sizes that are now in serviceworldwide but also since studies are conducted independently under various operating conditionsin dierent countries. The fault tree method (FTA) has been used to study the reliability of manydierent power generation systems. This paper now applies that method to a wind turbine systemto estimate the reliability of wind turbines. In the implementations, several types of wind turbineswere considered in order to analyze the systemâs reliability. The eectiveness of the proposedmethod is revealed through several case studies.

Abstract- In agricultural field the plants comes to an attack from the various pets bacterial and micro-organism diseases. This diseases attacks on the plant leaves, steams, and fruit part. This present review paper discussed the image processing techniques which is used in performing the early detection of plant diseases through leaf feature inspection. the basic objective of this work is to develop image analysis and classification techniques for extraction and finally classified the diseases present on leaf. Image of leaf is captured and the process is performed and to determine the status of each plant. Here proposed model divide into four parts. The image preprocessing including normalization and contrast adjustment; segment the region of interest determine by using color transform YCbCr and bi-level thresholding for statistical usage to determine the defect and severity area of plant leaves. The texture feature extraction using statistical GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrences Matrix) and color feature by means values.[1] Finally classification achieved using random markov model.

One of the most important issues associated with photovoltaic systems is receiving maximum power and tracking maximum power point. Hence, researchers have proposed numerous methods in recent years. The first step toward selecting a useful method is recognizing algorithms, methodology and advantages of each method. In this study MPPT methods are deeply investigated. For this purpose, first off, equations governing photovoltaic systems are explicated. Then, nonlinear behavior of photovoltaic cells is demonstrated by simulation. Finally, different methods of MPPT and their advantages are mentioned.

This paper presents a new strategy based on Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller for damping Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine environment using Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping (MSFL) algorithm. The proposed technique is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which is inspired by mating procedure of the honey bee. Actually, the mentioned algorithm is used recently in power systems which demonstrate the good reflex of this algorithm. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in power system has direct effect for damping oscillation. Hence, to reduce the design effort and find a better fuzzy system control, the parameters of proposed controller is obtained by MSFL that leads to design controller with simple structure that is easy to implement. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is applied to Single machine connected to Infinite Bus (SMIB) and IEEE 3-9 bus power system. The proposed technique is compared with other techniques through ITAE and FD.

Harmonics and increasing number of switches and DC sources for increasing level is the major issue in the cascaded multilevel inverter for the application of medium and high voltage power system applications. In this paper several new techniques are used to reduce the switches and DC sources, which overcome the disadvantages of cascaded multilevel inverter. The THD values for various levels (seven & nine) are compared with and without PWM technique.

In this work we want to propose a control strategy to maximize the wind energy captured in a variable speed wind turbines, for this goal the speed of turbine should keep in optimum speed when the wind speed is changing. Many control approach has been suggested that is base on approximate models that it causes unsuitable behavior of system because of Uncertainty parameters of the system. Hence at this work we use adaptive robust control approach that it can to compensate Uncertain of the parameters and present a smooth system with maximum energy production. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach.

This article proposes a system based on the interpretation on the Quranic text that has been translated into English language using word sense disambiguation. This system is based on a combination of three traditional semantic similarity measurements, which are Wu-Palmer (WUP), Lin (LIN), and Jiang-Conrath (JCN) for word sense disambiguation on the English Al-Quran. The experiment was performed to obtain the best overall similarity score. The empirical results demonstrate that the combination of the three mentioned semantic similarity techniques obtained competitive results when compared with using individual similarity measurements.

The distribution of real banking outlets is based on the establishment of branches according to administrative division, which is obviously not rational in distribution. Against this phenomenon, this paper first analyzes the major factors that affect the distribution of outlets. Then, based on complex network, it puts forward the distribution model of outlets. Finally, it analyzes the model. At the same time, the paper takes the banking outlets of China Construction Bank of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province for example. It employs the model to distribute and integrate its banking outlets. As a result, the distribution after integrating is more rational than the previous distribution, which verifies the rationality of the model and the distribution method of banking outlets.

Due to dynamic nature of loads, total system load is more than its generation capacity that makes relieving of load on the feeders not possible and hence voltage profile of the system will not be improved to the required level. In order to meet required level of load demand, Reconfiguration & DG units are integrated in distribution network to improve voltage profile, to provide reliable and uninterrupted power supply and also to achieve economic benefits such as minimum power loss, energy efficiency and load leveling. This work proposes minimization of real power losses and improvement of voltage profile using network reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation. Generally distributed generations (DG) are preferred with objective of minimizing real power loss and improving voltage profile in distribution system. In this work A meta heuristic Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) is used to simultaneously reconfigure and identify the optimal locations for installation of DG units in a distribution network. Sensitivity analysis is used to identify optimal locations for installation of DG units. The proposed method has tested in MATLAB for 33-bus and 69- Bus radial distribution systems at three different load levels and the analysis is presented for loss minimization.

In this paper interleaving and switched-capacitor techniques are used to introduce a high step-up DC-DC converter for renewable energy systems application. The proposed converter delivers high voltage gain without utilizing transformer or excessive duty cycle and features ripple-free input current which results in lower conduction losses and decreased electromagnetic interference (EMI). Lower output capacitance is another advantage of proposed converter, leading to smaller size and lower cost. Furthermore lower voltage stress on switches allows the utilization of switches with low resistance. Simulation results verify the performance of suggested converter.
