DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5601
Abstract: Condition evaluation of the electrical equipment in operation is an important prerequisite for building reliable and efficient electrical systems and networks. In order to increase accuracy of power transformers condition monitoring, method for analyzing the diagnostic parameters of power transformer oil temperature have been developed. The method is based on parametric identification of the thermal model using particle swarm optimization. In order to test the efficiency of the proposed method, simulation was performed using the experimental data obtained on the power three-winding transformer of the network substation. In view of the impossibility of deliberately changing the technical condition of the transformer, the performance evaluation is based on the confirmation of the absence of changes in the technical state. The analysis of the obtained results confirms the efficiency of the developed method and algorithms.
Keywords: power transformer, diagnostic parameter, oil temperature in the upper layers, condition estimation, parameter identification.

Abstract: The congestion of the urban traffic is becoming one of the critical issues with increasing population and automobiles in cities. Traffic jams not only cause extra delay and stress for the drivers, but also increase fuel consumption, add transportation cost, and increase carbon dioxide air pollution. The traffic controller is one of critical factors affecting the traffic flow. The conventional traffic patterns are nonlinear and complex and time dependent rather than traffic dependent. Here we are proposing a traffic based feedback intersection system which changes the time of green and red light with respect to the traffic flow rather than time. The “SIMS” utilizes very basic hardware to ensure that costs are reasonable & the maintenance is low. The entire project uses Image processing as its principle. The hardware used are Camera, Stepper Motor, Raspberry Pi, Arduino Uno, LCD, LED. This solution to the ever increasing urbanization would help in lowering the level of traffic congestion in many large cities, like Bangalore which experiences a very high level of traffic congestion that has been unprecedented. The result is that most road networks in urban areas would provide an optimal transport system and would also reduce the air pollution, fuel consumption and various other negative factors. Also it would ensure a reduction in accidents due to inefficient traffic management.

Abstract: Nowadays, energy is an essential need for human life and for the development in all the sectors of economy. The drastic increase in population and rapidly decreasing conventional energy sources force us to think on promising way of non-conventional energy harvesting methods. Solar energy system is used to collect maximum power from sun. This proposal is to use the solar panels implemented in this project more efficiently and to carry out a realistic experimental approach to enhance the solar output power to a significant level. The power generation using piezoelectric sensor is used as another approach. When vehicles move, a large amount of kinetic energy is getting dissipated on roads. Hence, we make use of the vibration energy generated by the moving vehicles into a useable form of energy. Using the principle of piezoelectric effect the vibrational energy is converted into electrical form and stored as a backup source. This stored energy is used as a power source for the functioning of street lights and intensity control of the street lights. The status of the battery charging is also indicated.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5616
Abstract: The parallel fusion model universalizes centralized and decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing as a three step process comprising of: local sensing, information reporting and information fusion. It is quite obvious that any amelioration in the performance quality of the constitutional steps would strengthen the overall performance of the cooperative spectrum sensing network. The performance metrics for a cooperative spectrum sensing network are the gain provided and overhead occurring (both in comparison with non cooperative scenario). An efficient cooperative sensing scheme promises a good tradeoff between both the metrics. In this work, the authors present a scheme providing improved cooperative gain for a centralized cooperative spectrum sensing network which employs hard combination at the fusion centre.

Abstract: Due to the advancement in technology as well as exponential increase in population, the energy demand is increasing rapidly. This increasing energy demand is met by non-renewable energy resources which will soon deplete the fossilized vestige. Furthermore, burning of fossil fuels leads to the emission of harmful greenhouse gases causing global warming which is a matter of serious concern. This swings us to opt for alternative energy sources which would minimize the environmental hazards. The enormous human population is an increasing commodity which can be used to harness energy for the betterment of human race. One of the alternatives can be through footstep. The waste energy of footstep power with human locomotion can be harnessed and utilized in numerous applications. This paper sheds light on generation of electrical energy through footstep.

Abstract: Human tracking is an important research area in computer vision with potential applications in many other fields like augment reality, human–machine interaction, and advanced driver assistance systems. Despite a lot of progress in the field, visual tracking remains a difficult problem due to many challenges. In this paper we describe a method of automatic motion tracking of a person in a sequence of video frames. The method is suitable for tracking a person walking or running in a surveillance video captured from a single still camera. The method initially removes the noise from the captured image then segments the image using frame difference and binary converting techniques and finally tracks the person using a bounding box.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5624
Abstract: Power Factor, the ratio between the real or average power and the apparent power forms a very essential parameter in power system. It is indicative of how effectively the real power of the system has been utilized. With rapid development in power semiconductor devices, the usage of power electronic systems has expanded to new and wide application range that include residential, commercial, aerospace and many others. Power electronic interfaces e.g. switch mode power supplies (SMPS) have proved to be superior over traditional linear power supplies. However, their non-linear behaviour puts a question mark on their high efficiency. The current drawn by the SMPSs from the line is distorted resulting in a high Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and low Power Factor (PF). Individually, a device with harmonic current does not pose much serious problem however when used on a massive scale the utility power supply condition could be detoriated. Other adverse effects on the power system include increased magnitudes of neutral currents in three-phase systems, overheating in transformers and induction motors etc. Hence, there is a continuous need for power factor improvement and reduction of line current harmonics. Development of new circuit topologies and control strategies for Power Factor Correction (PFC) and harmonic reduction has become still more essential with the introduction of strong technical IEC standards. These is the review paper in which comparison for circuit with PFC and circuit without PFC by using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Abstract: Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) has been extensively investigated in recent decades. TFETs set an alternative to conventional transistors. TFETs are based on diverse operating principles that include tunneling. Steep Sub threshold swing transistors based on tunneling are examined to extend the performance of a transistor. Tunnel FET is having a lesser on current, off current and Sub threshold slope than conventional MOSFETs which is found to be a latent candidate for ultra-low power device applications by the reduced sub threshold swing. This leads to the reduction of supply voltage; thereby it increases the speed of the devices.

But, the risks of underground cables need to also be stated, including eight to fifteen instances which shows extra luxurious than equal overhead traces, less energy switching capability, more at risk of permanent damage following a flash-over, and tough to locate fault. Faults in underground cables can be commonly categorized as two classes: incipient faults and everlasting faults. Commonly, incipient faults in electricity cables are gradually resulted from the getting old technique, wherein the localized deterioration in insulations exists. Electric overstress in conjunction with mechanical deficiency, adverse environmental circumstance and chemical pollutants, can reason the irreparable and irreversible damages in insulations. The associated strategies posted in journals and proceedings are reviewed, summarized and compared inside the subsequent subsections.

Abstract: We present a digital watermarking algorithm for 3D model which is based on encrypted holographic digital watermarking algorithm to protect the embedded watermark information (such as a specific identity of the copyright information, etc.) and to improve the security and robustness of the digital watermark information. Firstly, the watermark image is processed by the double random phase modulation to get the hologram watermark which makes a high security. Then in the embedding procedures, affine invariant preprocessing is used for 3D models. We calculate the distance of each vertex to center of gravity of the 3D model which is noted as r, and take it as the watermark embedding element to embed the watermark. The experimental results show that the algorithm had the good performance of the watermark robustness to attacks such as noise addition, model simplification, model cropping, and affine attacks. This algorithm can be widely used for digital copyright protection and other aspects of identity hidden.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5633
Abstract: Prior to its restructuring in the year 2003, for decades the Indian Power Sector was not allowed to function autonomously, had poor technical capabilities, huge political interference and a large workforce. Transmission and Distribution losses in some State Electricity Boards amounted to as high as 40 to 50%, resulting in massive energy shortages while electricity tariffs were low and populist. Rate of Return was never allowed to be 3% on capital thus violating Act of parliament. All these factors resulted in poor technical and financial performance of State Electricity Boards. The Reforms in electricity sector focused on organizational changes, brought competition in Generation, Transmission & Distribution Sectors and introduced Regulations. Strong and consistent energy policy is critical to cope up with the challenges and issues in Power Sector. Various policy reforms for accelerated development of Indian Power sector has shifted Indian power sector from Government owned systems towards Market based control systems, offering choices to public and private sectors. Pricing mechanism in policy has to ensure financial viability in sector and send proper signal to investors. Coal, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Renewable and Hydro sectors need clear policy measures for the growth of and to attract private investments in these sectors. Market based system provides choice for buying power from different entities, the price is decided by interaction of demand and supply, hence pricing becomes competitive. The various policy measures taken have ensured financial viability of the sector. The Attracted investments also have ensured protection of consumer interests & promoted transparency and efficiency in operation and governance. Indian Power sector still needs to undergo a lot of institutional changes, introduce energy policies and emulate the organizations with global practices. This paper reviews various Concerns, Challenges and Prospects in Power Sector.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5636
Abstract: This paper describes the performance of the Aperture Coupled Microstrip Planar Array in C-band. The basic concept of aperture coupling is to achieve the wide frequency bandwidth & low back radiation. The enhancement of the bandwidth in the present case is achieved by coupling to the microstrip antenna on one substrate from the microstrip line feed on another parallel substrate through an aperture in the ground plane, which separates the two substrates. A design procedure for aperture coupled microstrip antennas based on transmission line model is presented. The novel coaxial to microstrip line transition is devised and implemented to feed the aperture coupled microstrip antenna elements in planar array to achieve the wide impedance and pattern bandwidth. The experimental results of Return loss plot & Radiation pattern for aperture coupled microstrip planar array antenna are presented.
Keywords: C-band, bandwidth, Back radiation, Microstrip antenna, Co-axial to microstripline transition, planar array, Aperture coupling, Return loss, Radiation pattern.
QFT based Robust Load Frequency Controller Design for Multi-Area Power System
P. Bharat Kumar, P. Sujatha
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5637
Abstract: In this paper a new robust load frequency controller for two area interconnected power system is presented to quench the deviations in frequency and tie line power due to different load disturbances. The Genetic algorithm (GA) controller designed here consists of two crisp inputs namely deviation of frequency and the other is derivative of frequency deviation. The Genetic algorithm controller output is the control input to each area. In practical systems, the conventional PI type controllers are applied for Load Frequency Control. In order to improve the performance of the LFC system, Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach is used to optimize the conventional controller gains and bias factors and a robust decentralized controller using Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) is proposed to solve the Load Frequency Control (LFC) problem in a restructured power system that operates under deregulation based on bilateral policy scheme. In each control area of this dynamical model, the effects of the possible contracts are treated as a set of new input signals. To validate the effectiveness of all the methods, the simulation has been performed using different controllers and compared. The simulation results substantiate the robustness and high performance of QFT controller.
Keywords: Restructured Power System, Load Frequency Control, Genetic Algorithm, Quantitative Feedback Theory, Bilateral Contracts.
Abstract: Today humans live in the digital video age where everything we need, is available in terms of video information in the vast repositories online. There is a need to enable user devices and access existing vast store of video data in an easy manner. Although videos made day-to-day life easier and much more enjoyable due to the simplicity and flexibility that we get with the internet. In terms of video content retrieval all user must do, is to type in a search term and get back a relevant result. This process has its limitations in terms of time and speed of search tiny video is a search program that makes video retrieval more relevant in terms of the content within the video not regarding for the actual data tagged with it. It therefore promises greater accuracy in terms of relevant search information and is capable of cross-referencing an image or another sample video and not just text, to give a valid result to the user. This search algorithm is therefore an improvement on the current system and shows promise in terms of its accuracy. This paper examines the use of a unique search algorithm to improve video tagging and referencing given a large database of submitted content such as YouTube. We present our algorithm with 99% accuracy with database videos and speed of search increased 4 times than the existing search techniques.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5640
Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are employed today in many application areas, ranging from health and lifestyle to automotive, smart building, predictive maintenance, active RFID tags. The commercially available sensor nodes are battery-driven devices. As days proceed, the batteries used in the nodes losses their charge and subsequently get isolated from the network. Energy harvesting and management is the most convenient ways to solve the problem of making WSN autonomous and enable widespread use of these systems in many applications. Out of various energy sources, solar radiation energy is available everywhere and fulfil the power requirement of WSN. Thus, a solar energy harvester for low powered wireless sensor networks is proposed. In this paper, a solar energy harvester which composed of a solar panel and energy harvesting module is introduced. This scheme works on the principle of photo voltaic effect. Harvested energy is used to charge the EnerChip batteries in the EH module, which is used to communicate the integrated temperature and RF signal strength information of environment at end point or WSN to the access point.

A Novel VLSI Design of Hybrid Carry Skip Adder Implementation based on Verilog HDL
Ms. C. Banupriya, Ms. Sathya Priya
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5642
Abstract: This paper, we present a carry skip adder (CSKA) structure that has a higher speed yet lower energy consumption compared with the conventional one. The speed enhancement is achieved by applying concatenation and incrementation schemes to improve the efficiency of the conventional CSKA (Conv-CSKA) structure. In addition, instead of utilizing multiplexer logic, the proposed structure makes use of AND-OR-Invert (AOI) and OR-AND-Invert (OAI) compound gates for the skip logic. The structure may be realized with both fixed stage size and variable stage size styles, wherein the latter further improves the speed and energy parameters of the adder. Finally, a hybrid variable latency extension of the proposed structure, which lowers the power consumption without considerably impacting the speed, is presented. This extension utilizes a modified parallel structure for increasing the slack time, and hence, enabling further voltage reduction. We will implement 8 Bit, 16 Bit, and 32 Bit Existing and Proposed adders. Now we are proposing a Real time Digital Counter or Clock Circuits using our proposed carry-skip adder. The proposed structures are assessed by comparing their speed, power, and energy parameters with those of other adders design by Verilog HDL and Simulated by Modelsim 6.4 c and Synthesized by Xilinx tool and proposed system implemented in FPGA Spartan 3 XC3S 200 TQ-144.

An FPGA Implementation of OLS Encoder and Decoder for Efficient Data Transmission
Ms. M. Gayathri, Ms. Prema M.E
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5643
Abstract: Orthogonal Latin Square (OLS) codes that provide low latency decoding and a modular construction. For some applications, like multimedia or signal processing, the effect of errors on the memory bits can be very different depending on their position on the word. Therefore, in these cases, it is more effective to provide different degrees of error correction for the different bits. This is done with Unequal Error Protection (UEP) codes. In this paper, UEP codes are derived from Double Error Correction (DEC) Orthogonal Latin Square (OLS) codes. The derived codes are implemented for an FPGA platform to evaluate the decoder complexity and latency. The OLSC Project has two major Process Encoder and Decoder. In the Decoder Part we modified the Syndrome Computation unit as well as we designed a Complete Setup of transmitter and Receiver via Encoder and Decoder. The results show that the new codes can be implemented with lower decoding delay than traditional SEC-DED codes and with a cost similar to that of both DEC OLS and SEC-DED codes. The Proposed encoder and decoder are done by Verilog HDL and Simulated by Modelsim 6.4 c and synthesized by Xilinx tool.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5644
Abstract: The possibility of realization of block FIR filter in transpose form configuration for area-delay efficient realization of large order FIR filters for both fixed and reconfigurable applications. Based on a detailed computational analysis of transpose form configuration of FIR filter, a flow graph for transpose form block FIR filter with optimized register complexity is derived. A generalized block formulation is presented for transpose form FIR filter. A low-complexity design using the MCM scheme is also presented for the block implementation of fixed FIR filters. The proposed structure involves significantly less area delay product (ADP) than the existing block implementation of direct-form structure for medium or large filter lengths, while for the short-length filters, the block implementation of direct-form FIR structure has less ADP than the proposed structure by using Booth Multipliers. Application specific integrated circuit synthesis result shows that the proposed structure for block size 4 and filter length 64 involves less ADP and less EPS than the best available FIR filter structure proposed for reconfigurable applications. For the same filter length and the same block size, the proposed structure involves less ADP than that of the existing direct-form blocks FIR structure. This Proposed System Implemented using Verilog HDL and Simulated by Modelsim 6.4 c and Synthesized by Xilinx tool. The proposed system implemented in FPGA Spartan 3 XC3S 200 TQ-144.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5645
Abstract: This study presents an efficient and reliable evolutionary-based approach, termed as Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem of power system. The performance of the proposed FPA is examined and tested, successfully, on standard IEEE-30 test power systems for the solution of ORPD problem in which control of bus voltages, tap position of transformers and reactive power sources are involved. The objective function considered is either minimisation of active power transmission loss or that of total voltage deviation or enhancement of voltage stability index. The results offered by the proposed FPA are compared with those offered by other evolutionary optimisation techniques surfaced in the recent state-of-the-art literature. Simulation results indicate that the proposed FPA yields superior solution over the other recently surfaced popular techniques in terms of effectiveness and convergence speed.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5647
Abstract: The Present era has experienced an exponential growth in wireless mobile communication. This requires a huge bandwidth, which has motivated the utilization of millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum to be deployed for future broadband cellular networks. Fifth generation (5G) cellular networks are being developed to satisfy the increasing data traffic among mobile devices. 5G cellular networks are expected to have much higher network capacity and provide multi-gigabits-per-second data rate for each user to support multimedia applications with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. Millimeter-wave communication is a promising technology for future 5G cellular networks to provide very high data rate (multi-gigabits-per second) for mobile devices. Enabling Device to Device communications over directional mm wave networks is of critical importance to efficiently use the large bandwidth to increase network capacity. Basically in the traditional wireless cellular networks devices were communicating with each other through base stations, whereas the fundamental network architecture of 5G networks has the hybrid combination of 4G and mm wave communication.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5649
Abstract: A novel method for error correction for Very-high frequency Omni Range (VOR) Azimuth is designed and tested. The basic principle behind the working of VOR is enumerated. In the generation of phase difference at the air- borne receiver, various errors occur which impair the effective working of VOR. The aggregate value of these errors will be around ±5o. Broadcom BCM2836R processor is used in the Linux environment with Mathematica10. Wolfram language is used to realize Kalman filter. Incorporating the proposed method, the aggregate error is successfully reduced to around ±1o. This improvement will benefit the air operators to have more aircraft density surrounding any airport/VOR area.
