DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21203
Abstract: An authentic personal identification infrastructure is required to control the access in order to secure areas or materials. Biometric technology is based on physiological or behavioral characteristics of a human body. Iris recognition system consists of image acquisition, localization, normalization, features extraction and encoding, and classification. Iris images are downloaded from CASIA Iris V1.0 database for study. To separate the iris region from the eye image, Hough transform is used. Circular Hough transform is used to localize circular iris and pupil region while parabolic Hough transform is used to enhance the occluding eyelids and eyelashes. Daugman‟s rubber sheet model is used to normalize the extracted iris region into a rectangular block with constant polar dimensions. After normalization, 2D Gabor filter is employed to extract the important features from iris. Iris provides texture information which is unique, universal and contains high randomness. Feature extraction is performed by convolving the normalized iris region with 2D Gabor filter which gives the phase information. The phase data represented by a data set is utilized as input for classifiers. The classifiers used in this study are Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). This study shows that Support Vector Machines gives higher recognition rate than Artificial Neural Networks.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21205
Abstract: The microstrip antennas take any shape like square, rectangular, triangle and so on. They provide normally single resonance frequency with high quality factor because of narrow bandwidth. However, the fractal antennas are able to provide either multi-band resonances or broad bandwidth because of the self-similar and space-filling properties. In present paper, a study is made on Sierpinski gasket triangular fractal antenna for single and multiband applications. Design and simulation is done using HFSS 13.0 software and fabrication is done using photolithography etching method which gives adequate result for this type of antennas. By using vector network analyzer E5071C the designed antennas are tested and various plots like return loss, VSWR, smith chart and polar plot are verified. The designed antennas are used in implantable medical (IMD) applications and other wireless applications.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21207
Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer an excellent opportunity to monitor environments, and have a lot of interesting applications, some of which are quite sensitive in nature and require full proof secured environment. The security mechanisms used for wired networks cannot be directly used in sensor networks as there is no user-controlling of each individual node, wireless environment, and more importantly, scarce energy resources. In this research, we consider a typical threat known as clone node attack, where an adversary creates its own low-cost sensor nodes called clone nodes and misinforms the network to acknowledge them as legitimate nodes. To instigate this attack, an adversary only needs to physically capture one node, and after collecting all secret credentials, an adversary clones the sensor node and deploys one or more clones of the compromised node into the network at strategic positions, damaging the whole network by carrying out many internal attacks. Detecting the node clone attack has become an imperative research topic in sensor network security, and designing detection schemes against node clone attack involves different threatening issues and challenges. In this review, we have classified the existing detection schemes and comprehensively explore various suggestions in each category as to demonstrate limitations of the existent detections as well as effective contributions.
Abstract: This assessment represents a Multi-Input-Multi-Output-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (MIMO-PID) controller for load frequency balance issues.The objective of load frequency control is to minimize the transient deviations in area frequency and tie-line power. To improve the robustness of the system the transfer function H∞ norm is used. So the proposed technique is known as PIDH∞ controller. The LFC problem is articulated as a H∞ SOF (State Output Feedback) control approach to attain the decentralized robust MIMO-PIDH∞ controller. H∞ controller is used here for accomplishing stabilization with definite performance. The optimization difficult is formulated and iterative LMI algorithm is used to tune the control parameters of the MIMO-PIDH∞ controller. The simulation results show the proposed strategy is very effective and guaranteed good robust performance against the parametric uncertainties and load changes.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21209
Abstract: The aim of deregulation is to introduce an element of competition into electrical energy delivery and thereby allow market forces to price energy at low rates for the customer and higher efficiency for the suppliers. The necessity for deregulation is to provide cheaper electricity, to offer greater choice to the customer in purchasing the economic energy, to give more choice of generation and to offer better services with respect to power quality i.e. constant voltage, constant frequency and uninterrupted power supplythis paper provides a methodology to apportion the cost of the transmission network to generators and demands that use it. How to allocate the cost of the transmission network is an open research issue as available techniques embody important simplifying assumptions,which may render controversial results. In this paper three techniques namely Zbusmethod, Zbusavgmethod and Relative Electrical Distance (RED) method for the network cost allocation is compared. It has been successfully applied on an IEEE 24 bus-Reliability Test System (RTS) and the results obtained are compared.
Keywords: Transmission network cost allocation, active power flow, generator cost contribution, load cost contribution, Zbus,Zbusavg and RED.

Abstract: As the power system is operated closer to the security limit, environmental constraints restrict the expansion of transmission network. The need for long distance power transmission has increased and little number of operators are engaged in the supervision and operation of power system. Voltage stability has become major problems in many power systems. Due to change in load and the drop in the load, voltage increased and demand for the reactive power increased. This change leads to a progressive & rapid change of voltage at that location, which may have a cascading effect on neighboring regions that causes voltage drop. In this paper, Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is used to maintain the voltage within the limits. STATCOM will manage the reactive power or extract the reactive power.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21212
Abstract: An electric power system comprises of generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy. To meet today‟s load demand different generations are interconnected via tie lines. This paper deals with AGC problem of a two area thermal system using Proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID). The controller parameters are tuned by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Many optimizing Liaisons (MOL) algorithms. Dynamic response of the PID controlled AGC tuned by both the algorithms are compared by applying 1% step load perturbation (SLP) in both areas at different conditions. The cost function is derived by taking the area control errors (ACE) of both the areas. The system is checked for robustness by varying the parameters of the governor, turbine and reheat from -50% to +50% in steps of 25%. Based on analysis, facts & figures the system is found to be robust and performs better when tuned by the MOL algorithm.

NOOLU.NARENDRA REDDY, KURAKULA.VIMALA KUMAR
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21217
Abstract: In deregulated power system due to the increase of power transactions in transmission open access the transmission cost allocation is one of the major problems. For each transaction the Transaction Impact Factors (TIFs) are developed for the allocation of the transmission transaction costs. The transmission Impact Factor gives the information about the real power flow in the transmission lines with the transacted power. This logical method provides the impact of the line flows without running power flow solutions when the amount of transacted power changes in real time. This proposed method is evaluated by considering bilateral and multilateral transactions. The results coming from the proposed method is compared with Megawatt Modulus (MM) method on sample six bus and IEEE 30 bus system.
Abstract: Real-time operating system (RTOS) is a very useful tool for developing the application on embedded boards with least software development effort. Though number of RTOS products are available in the market, μC/OS-II is a freeware with minimum facility and more popular among the hobbyist, researchers and small embedded system developers. The μC/OS-II supports preemptive scheduling which is not efficient with respect to processor utilization. As a result, this may lead to missing deadline of the task assigned and hence may cause system failure. In this paper, a Rate Monotonic scheduling (RM), which is a better scheduling method when compared to preemptive technique, is implemented on μC/OS-II and its operation in terms of task execution and processor utilization are discussed. This paper presents the RM Analysis (RMA) on μC/OS-II with two different types of hardware: 1) Low end microcontroller i.e., 8051 based system and 2) High end system based on ARM9 is used. For the demonstration of RM Analysis, two tasks, namely, 1) Advanced encryption standard (AES) and 2) Text message display and graphic display are implemented. The software tools Keil IDE, SDCC compiler and Phillips Flash Magic are used for implementation of tasks on 8051 embedded development board. The ARM developers Suite v1.2 and DNW are used for implementation of tasks on ARM9 development board. In addition to the above said tasks, additional tasks like Real time clock interface, graphical LCD interface and UART interface for communication with computer are also implemented. The scaled-version of μC/OS-II with multiple tasks uses 4 kB of flash and 512 bytes of RAM in 8051 board. The entire MUCOS RTOS in ARM9 with multiple tasks uses 29.23 kB of flash and 596.36 kB of RAM. The results obtained indicate optimum utilization of processor with RMA scheduler for realizing low cost software for developing the application on embedded boards with least software development effort.
Keywords: RTOS, Keil IDE, ARM9, AES, μC/OS-II and Microcontroller.

Simulation of MRAC based speed control of brushless DC motor with low-resolution hall-effect sensors
G.SUNIL, B.RAJASEKHAR
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2014.21220
Abstract: A novel speed estimation approach with control system based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is presented for low cost brushless dc motor drives with low-resolution hall sensors. The back EMF is usually used to estimate speed. But the estimation result is not accurate enough at low speeds because of the divided voltage of stator resistors and too small back EMF. Moreover, the stator resistor is always varying with the motor‟s temperature. A speed estimation algorithm based on MRAC was proposed to correct the speed error estimated by using back EMF. The proposed algorithm‟s most innovative feature is its adaptability to the entire speed range including low speeds and high speeds and temperature and different motors do not affect the accuracy of the estimation result. The effectiveness of the algorithm was verified through simulations and experiments.
Keywords: Brushless dc motor, low-resolution hall sensor, model reference adaptive control, speed estimation

Abstract: The increasing demand for electricity and depleting fossil fuels made the solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems to be a better alternative for the future power requirements. Nowadays solar energy has great importance. Because it is easily available resource for energy generation. Solar panels have a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic, with a distinct maximum power point (MPP), which depends on the environmental factors, such as temperature and irradiation. In order to continuously harvest maximum power from the solar panels, they have to operate at their MPP despite the inevitable changes in the environment. This is why the controllers of all solar power electronic converters employ some method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which significantly increases the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic System. There are different MPPT control methods used for solar PV systems, Incremental conductance(InC), Perturb and observe(P&O), Constant Current method, Constant Voltage method, Fuzzy Control, and Neural Network Control. This paper presents the comparative analysis between Perturb & Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (InC) MPPT techniques and the simulation has been accomplished for PV array using boost converter in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Abstract: The retrieval of meaningful information is referred to as a query. It can be done in one of three ways: by selecting parameters from a menu, by Query by Example, or by Query language. It is critical that the user understands what he is asking from the query while searching. Energy efficiency is an important consideration when designing and running queries in databases. When the query processing stage is not well understood, attempts are made to execute too many calculations across a large result set during result processing, loading the system beyond its query rate capacity, generating a backlog of queries, resulting in higher query latencies and possibly service disruption.
