DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41202
Abstract: Wind generation is currently the leading form of new renewable generation in the world. The amount of electricity being generated by wind turbines is increasing continuously, day by day and wind power penetration in a power system is spreading in an uncontrollable way. The power generation through wind energy totally dependent on the flow of the wind due to uncertainty and randomness of wind flow, the generation of power is quite fluctuating in nature and large-scale wind farms may cause significant impact to the stability and power system safety. Wind power has significant variation over shorter time periods. With large variations in wind generation, reactive power flows on transmission lines, transmission loss, voltage and power factor are major attributes which having a major impact on power system performance. The shunt connected FACT devices such as a static var compensator (SVC), which is dynamic reactive power compensator whose reactive power output depends upon the system voltage, is adopted for control of bus voltage magnitude and to bring the system near to unity power factor, thus for mitigation of reactive power. This paper presents the finalization of SVC rating in the power system having high wind power generation, the SVC and system performance with the increase of wind power penetration and static /dynamic var mitigation with the change of the location of SVC too far off the main wind bus. For analysis Rajasthan Grid (India), comprising of different voltage level with high wind power penetration in the Western part selected. All analysis is anchored with load flow analysis, by using Mi-Power system analysis software. The method used is quite effective to give the need of reactive power mitigation device applicability, power system strengthening requirement in view of high wind power penetration under actual field conditions.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41206
Abstract: Traffic signals are the most convenient method of controlling traffic in a busy junction. Present traffic signals fail to control the traffic effectively when a particular lane has got more traffic than the other lanes. PLC or Programmable logic controller was used to control a mechatronics system using specific functions. The intelligent or “Smart Traffic Control” is one which would be able to calculate the vehicle density in a lane at a 4-way crossing and then decide the priority automatically using a program. In PLC the status of the sensors are checked and certain logical operations are performed to decide which lane is to be serviced first and provides output signal to the traffic lights poles for ON or OFF the Red, yellow or Green lights and ON time is depend on the specific priorities.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41207
Abstract: For the characterization of biomaterials the methodology used is the source of signal, Biomaterial sample and the response detector. The high frequency ultrasonic signal generator generates signals of high frequency suitable for biomaterial characterization. Ultrasonic signals are then made to fall on the biomaterial sample to be characterized. While passing through the sample, the ultrasonic signals are absorbed, reflected and scattered along different directions. The transmitted and reflected signals are sense and detect by sensor. The sensor produces proportional current in microamperes. This current will be applied to sensing circuit, which converts current into proportional amplified voltage with the help of an Op-Amp. An analog to digital converter (ADC) converts analog signal into digital signal and provide data to the computer. Driver software makes NI LabVIEW to interact with hardware. Data acquisition circuit interconnects the PC and driver software to which the data is input. The PC with LabVIEW platform is used to develop VI for biomaterial characterization.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41209
Abstract: This paper contains, developing and employing methods to reduce the mutual coupling between elements of an antenna array. The utilization of electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures is an attractive way to reduce surface wave excitation in printed antenna geometries so to mitigate the mutual coupling problem. This paper investigates the performance of a microstrip antenna phased array embedded in an EBG. A novel EBG array configuration is proposed, the bandgap feature of mushroom-like EBG has been studied, its band-gap feature of surface-wave suppression is demonstrated by plotting variations of the transmission coefficient S12 with frequency and dispersion diagram. The antenna design is verified by High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS), the simulating results show that the EBG design approach is a good candidate for a reduction in mutual coupling at certain frequencies between radiator elements, which in turn increases antenna directivity. Its band-gap feature of surface-wave suppression is demonstrated by exhibiting the near field distributions of the electromagnetic waves. The mutual coupling of microstrip antennas is parametrically investigated, including the E and H coupling directions, different substrate thickness, and various dielectric constants. It is observed that the E-plane coupled microstrip antenna array on a thick and high permittivity substrate has a strong mutual coupling due to the pronounced surface waves. Therefore, an EBG structure is inserted between array elements to reduce the mutual coupling.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41211
Abstract: In Digital Image processing image restoration is the process of reconstructing or deblurring an image which has been affected of various unwanted factors or noise. In this paper, we propose a method for image deblurring technique based on combination of PSO and GA. The main drawbacks in a digital image is the presence of noise and degradation during the camera shake by human error, long exposure time, the movement of an object, and not focus the target. Image restoration is very important and necessary in digital image process avoiding the blur and get original Image. We derive a blurring function, namely point spread function (PSF) which deblur the captured image by reversing the motion effect. It aims to incorporate the advantages of the two methods, where the PSO is effective in localizing the global region, is a computational method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality and the Genetic algorithm is effective in converging optimization and search problems. Image restoration is a technique which is used to make picture sharp and useful by using mathematical models of different Algorithms.

Maliha Naaz, Mohammed Arifuddin Sohel, Kaleem Fatima, M.A. Raheem
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2016.41215
Abstract: The most important constraint in the design of Biomedical circuits is suppression of the power line frequency of 60 Hz which is a major interference in proper read out of low frequency ECG and EEG signals. This paper presents the design of low power Notch filter for biomedical applications using 180nm CMOS technology. The filter implementation is based on Tow-Thomas Topology. The filter design is based on highly linear fully differential Operational amplifier having a gain of 96.8dB. A filter design methodology wherein a second order continuous time (CT) filter is designed using a R – 2R ladder resistor is proposed in this paper which reduces the overall silicon area requirement for the resistor implementation. It is demonstrated that a notch depth of 84.79dB is achieved using CT filers. The CT filter consumes a very low power of less than 10.67 μW making it more suitable for bio-medical applications. The proof of concept is demonstrated by post layout simulations on Cadence analog design environment.

It presents Load Frequency Control problem related to single-area and two-area power systems is studied for uncontrolled case and then with the application of the integral controller, PSO based controller using MATLAB SIMULINK/Workspace software. In case of a single-area system, under uncontrolled case, steady state frequency error exists. The integral controller improves the system’s dynamic performance by removing this steady state frequency error. In case of two-area power system, integral controller is used in both the areas to overcome system’s steady state frequency errors and thereby enhancing system’s dynamic performance. The integral controller is optimized using PSO based controller and is shown that the PSO based integral controller provides better dynamic performance than integral controller in terms of lesser settling time and peak overshoots. Then a PSO based PI controller is developed to control two-area power systems.

This paper shows the methodology which can maximize the performance of an AGV. We have also mentioned the algorithm to avoid obstacles in the way of an AGV and also to find the shortest path to the destination. This methodology not only reduces the cost but increase the efficiency from compared to previously proposed AGV. The proposed AGV will decrease the chances of accidents and mistakes. We are going to increase the working speed of AGV as it will not need to stop its work due to some external obstacles. We have used Kalman filter and PID to increase the accuracy of AGV. The A* algorithm is used to find the shortest path by avoiding obstacles to reach destination in minimum time. We have used directional sensors to get information about current position and destination of AGV. The highly accurate directional sensor will help AGV to easily calculate the position of it at any point.
