An Investigation of the Accuracy of the Measurement of Load Reduction for Demand Response Programs offered to Residential Customers
Ghazaleh Sarfi, Amin Niaz Azari
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5801
Abstract: In this paper, the evaluation of load reduction through customer baseline load calculation is investigated. Moreover, the impact of accuracy of this calculation on the peak time rebate program offered to residential customers is investigated. In a hypothetical case, this program is offered to residential customers and its economic performance is evaluated with respect to the customer baseline load accuracy performance. For the purpose of this analysis, two popular methods of High5of10 (commonly known as NYISO method) and regression, and their adjusted forms are selected to compute the customer baseline load. Then, this calculation is utilized to examine the performance of a hypothetical case of peak time rebate program offered to 300 residential customers collected by the Irish Commission for Energy Regulation smart metering trial dataset. Based on the results of the case study, this hypothetical utility pays over 50 percent of its revenue as a rebate just because of the inaccuracy of the customer baseline load calculation methods. This loss would increase if the aforementioned methods get adjusted for the morning consumption. In the end, it is discussed that peak time rebate programs can cause an unfair redistribution of the utility’s revenue. Moreover, it is argued that such random distribution of rebates can cause a financial loss to the customers eventually.
Abstract: In this paper, A Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) is used for improving the power factor, power quality and to control power flow control in the distribution line. It used to give reactive and active power compensation in the distribution line. The power depends on the power factor of the loads connected to the transmission line. The D-STATCOM used a control strategy based on control symmetrical component theory. To decrease the reactive power and to minimize the undesirable load to require maintains the flow of reactive power. As a result, the power factor of the load descant, leading to the limitation of the active power flow in the line. The D- STATCOM is a power electronics based on advanced device can be used to control power flow in the distribution line. This paper based on the PWM inverter and voltage source inverter to improve the power factor of the load by injecting suitable reactive power in the power distribution line. The simulation of D-STATCOM provides full reactive power compensation and also provides real power compensation in the distribution line for different loads.

V. Rashmi, B. Viswanath
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5803
Abstract: In recent days, the major concern in distribution system is power quality. The power quality is affected by various factors of the electrical network. Power quality problems such as voltage and frequency variation, harmonic contents affect the performance of Distribution System. Such problem has to be compensated by using CPDs. The energy control in distribution system is discussed by using multi-functional dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) control strategy. For the protection of customers for sudden change in voltage DVR is used. To improve the transient response and to eliminate the steady state error in DVR response, the Posicast and P+Resonant controllers are used respectively. The innovation here is that the DVR acts as a virtual impedance with the main aim of protecting PCC voltage and limits the fault current by using Flux control method. The simulations are performed with two types of loads:1) a constant power load and 2) a motor load using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Keywords: Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), emergency control, voltage sag, voltage swells.

Usha H.N., Aishwarya Hariths
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5804
Abstract: In the existing system, we have finger print authenticated locking system but we don’t have a system where a room can be accessed remotely. Unlike the use of other forms of authentication, such as passwords or tokens, biometric recognition provides a strong link between an individual and a claimed identity. The CAN based system for Locking/Unlocking of Labs as CAN supports number of nodes. Each Lab can be treated as Individual Locking Unit. The Lab in charge of Finger print is stored as the database in Finger print sensor which acts as the central node present at a central place. When the Central Node reads the Finger print, it checks for authenticity. If it finds it is authenticated then the information will be sent to respective node through CAN bus, to open the respective Lab.

Shimpleshwari, Prof. Vivekanandreddy
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5805
Abstract: In this real world, location-based utilities are becoming immensely prominent. These offerings primarily depend on users’ present location and also on history of users location. Without carefully designed safety system for web consumers, malicious or harmful users may lie about their spatial temporal provenance to show their past locations. The data can be faked and can be distorted for meeting particular prerequisites. Location dependent offerings need the user to provide location evidence at a particular time in use. There are a few cases wherein consumers may cheat on their locations. So here, one secure approach called Spatial-Temporal provenance assurance with Mutual Proofs (STAMP) for web application users is introduced. STAMP is designed for web users producing masked evidence for every different in a allotted setting. Anyhow, it can easily accommodate trusted web users and privacy for web consumer by generating mask id so this ensures the trustworthiness and non-transferability of the location evidences and make safe for user’s privateness. Prototype implementation of this android application depicts that it is less expensive in phrases of estimation and system resources.

Ajay Kumar Muthele, Dr. Vijay Bhuria
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5809
Abstract: In the field of Renewable energy resources (RES) are connected in distribution systems by using power electronic converters. Inside this paper presents a detailed control idea of reach maximum benefit from grid-interfacing inverters put in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter is controlled to perform an electronic device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be utilized as: 1) Inject power generated from RES to the grid, and 2) unbalance current, load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and load neutral current compensate by shunt active power filter. Those all functions could also be accomplished either individually or simultaneously. With such a control, the mix of grid-interfacing inverter and the 3-phase 4-wire linear/non-linear unbalanced load at PCC appears as balanced linear load to the grid. With using of MATLAB/Simulink software this new concept is demonstrated.

Analysis of Gestational Diabetes using Data Mining Algorithms
J. Sharmila, G. Seenuvasan
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5818
Abstract: Data Mining is used to discover new patterns from large volume of data. In data mining the classification is very important task. Gestational diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that is first predictable during pregnancy period of a woman. Diabetes is a disease in which levels of blood glucose, also called blood sugar, are above normal. People with diabetes have problems converting food to energy. Generally, after a meal, the body breaks food down into glucose, which the blood carries to cells throughout the body. Cells use insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas, to help them convert blood glucose into energy. Through the second and third trimester, a mother's diabetes can lead to over-nutrition and excess growth of the baby. Having a large baby rises risks during labour and delivery. In addition, when foetal over-nutrition occurs and hyper insulinemia results, the baby's blood sugar can drop very low after birth, since it won't be receiving the high blood sugar from the mother. However, with proper treatment, a gestational diabetic mother can deliver a healthy baby despite having diabetes. In this paper, many classification algorithms like J48, simple CART and NaĂŻve bayes algorithm are used to diagnose the diabetes in pregnant women and they are compared for their accuracy levels.
Simulation of Efficient MPPT Algorithm under Partial Shading Condition for Boost Converter System
Mahmooda Mubeen
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5819
Abstract: The Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithms are widely used in control of MPPT due to their simple structure and reduced number of necessary measured parameters. This algorithm has the drawback that after reaching the maximum power point its starts deviating continuously all the time resulting in substantial amount of power loss at maximum power point. Although this algorithm is quite simple to implement and requires only one voltage sensor, the cost of implementation of this algorithm is low. On the other hand the Incremental Conductance(IC) method has the advantage over the Perturb & Observe as it does not oscillate around the maximum power point under rapidly varying environmental conditions. The disadvantage of the Perturb and observe method to track the peak power under fast varying atmospheric condition is overcome by INC method. The INC can determine that the MPPT has reached the MPP and stop perturbing the operating point. If this condition is not met, the direction in which the MPPT operating point must be perturbed can be calculated using the relationship between dl/dV and –I/V Increment size determines how fast maximum power point is tracked. Fast tracking can be achieved with bigger increments but the system might not operate exactly at the maximum power point and oscillate about instead. This method has complex circuitry, accuracy of the method depends on the iteration size, which is usually fixed for the conventional incremental conductance method. In this paper the proposed scanning MPPT adjusts the duty cycle corresponding to the global maxima. The power obtained from the proposed controller is higher and non-oscillatory around the MPP compared to P&O and INC controllers which fails under partial shading condition when multiple peaks come into play. The scanning technique algorithm determines the maximum power delivering capacity of the panel at a given operating condition and controls the PCU to extract the same from the PV panel.

D. Mohd Mustafa, P. Sridhar, V. Vijaya Bhaskar, P.V.S. Aditya
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5820
Abstract: Voltage flicker is considered as one of the most severe power quality problems (especially in loads like electrical arc furnaces) and much attention has been paid to it lately. Due to the latest achievements in the semiconductors industry and consequently the emergence of the compensators based on voltage source converters, FACTS devices have been gradually noticed to be used for voltage flicker compensation. This paper covers the contrasting approaches; dealing with the voltage flicker mitigation in three stages and assessing the related results in details. Initially, the voltage flicker mitigation, using FCTCR (Fixed Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor), was simulated. Secondly, the compensation for the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) has been performed. In this case, injection of harmonics into the system caused some problems which were later overcome by using 12-pulse assignment of STATCOM and RLC filters. The obtained results show that STATCOM is very efficient and effective for the flicker compensation. All the simulations have been performed on the MATLAB Software.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5821
Abstract: Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to 3D model retrieval in recent decades. Recently, view- based methods have attracted much research attention due to the high discriminative property of multi-views for 3D object representation.3-D object retrieval has been extensively used wide range in various digital image processing applications which includes medicine, security, biometrics, genetics etc. In this work, collaboration of both view-model relevance among 3D objects for retrieval and 3D objects perception is performed based on various graph structures. Object hypergraph structure (view information) is implemented at initial stage to perceive the 3D objects in multiple views and an object graph is constructed for model data for obtaining the information about the relationship between the different features of the obtained 3D objects. Better performance and high efficiency show the supremacy of proposed work over traditional state-of-art methods.
Nearest Keyword Set Search in Multi- Dimensional Dataset
P. Dhivya, S. Priya
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5822
Abstract: A spatial database manages multidimensional objects provides fast access to those objects based on different selection criteria. The importance of spatial databases is reflected by the convenience of modeling entities of reality in a geometric manner. For example, locations of restaurants, hotels, hospitals and so on are often represented as points in a map, while larger extents such as parks, lakes, and landscapes often as a combination of rectangles. Many functionalities of a spatial database are useful in various ways in specific contexts. For instance, in a geography information system, range search can be deployed to find all restaurants in a certain area, while nearest neighbor retrieval can discover the restaurant closest to a given address. Conventional spatial queries, such as range search and nearest neighbor retrieval, involve only conditions on objects‟ geometric properties. Today, many modern applications call for novel forms of queries that aim to find objects satisfying both a spatial predicate, and a predicate on their associated texts. For example, instead of considering all the restaurants, a nearest neighbor query would instead ask for the restaurant that is the closest among those whose menus contain “steak, spaghetti, brandy” all at the same time. Currently, the best solution to such queries is based on the IR2-tree, which, as shown in this paper, has a few deficiencies that seriously impact its efficiency. Motivated by this, this work develop a new access method called the spatial inverted index that extends the conventional inverted index to cope with multidimensional data and comes with algorithms that can answer nearest neighbor queries with keywords in real time.
