Enhancement of Power Quality using Solar Photovoltaic System with Universal Active Filtering | ||||||
This work proposes a unique method for controlling the universal active power filter integrated with PV array system (UAPF-PV) using a proportional resonant controller and a second order sequence filter. The active component of the distorted load current is estimated using a second order sequence filter, and this value is then used to generate a reference signal for a shunt active filter at the instant of zero crossing of the load voltage. With fewer mathematical calculations, the suggested method extracts the essential active component of distorted and unbalanced load currents with good accuracy............

Design and Implementation of Multi Facility Power Postpaid Meter with Bluetooth Control | ||||||
Electrical power providers in Nigeria make use of an electricity billing meter installed at pole or consumer resident to bill customers. However, there are situations where a compound might have multiple house-holds and will therefore be made to split the bill amongst themselves manually. This becomes a problem when any of the house-hold refuse to pay his own share of the bill. This research work aims at solving this problem by designing and implementing a multi-facility (five facilities) power meter with Bluetooth control. The method employed was designing an embedded system that is carefully programmed to read each house-hold's consumption and splits their bills using simple mathematics programmed into the system. At the end of this research work the designed system was able to split the electricity bill for a compound with five house-hold.

An Image classification with Smart Customised Deep Convolutional Neural Network based Islanding Detection for PV Inverter-Interfaced Grid System | ||||||
An islanding event is a more serious concern for electrical utilities, which occurs when the utility is separated from the rest of the distributed system, mainly in the presence of renewable sources, and is integrated with an electrical system. In this study, we propose a new islanding detection technique based on a deep learning model using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed method is based on time frequency wavelet analysis, which is used to represent the scalogram image (RGB image) obtained from the time series data at the point of common coupling in the proposed system. The time-series data were converted to scalograms, and the CNN was designed to detect islanding and non-islanding events........

Performance Comparison on Four Selection Methods for Two-Factored Stock Strategies | ||||||
Finding factor(s) capable of capturing better stock return is popular research issue where how factors can be used together is also an important issue. Other than multi-variable regression, methods of other kinds also exist in literatures claiming reasonable results. In this study, we use two factors as example (called two-factored stock strategies in this study), and select four different methods (from literatures) for selecting stocks based on two factors combined. We proposed a systematic approach to first validate whether the target two-factored stock selection methods are better than single-factored method. Then the same procedure is used to find the better performing one among the four compared two-factored stock selection methods..........
The research results provide investors with a more objective and structured evaluation approach for stock selection methods in hope to make more accurate investment decisions

Space-Time Correlated Model for Mobile-to-Mobile Rayleigh Fading Channel: Simulator Performance | ||||||
For a good design framework and performance evaluation of MIMO wireless channel models, it is imperative to have accurate and realistic channel models. Furthermore, this arduous task is achieved using MIMO channel simulators. Thus, the MIMO simulator reproduces the statistical properties of the non-realizable reference model with sufficient accuracy while keeping complexity very low. However, designing accurate and efficient deterministic MIMO channel simulators is often challenging. In this paper, the theoretical performance of the MIMO channel simulator is studied under an isotropic environment with existing and newly modified parameterisation methods. The existing methods are the Extended Method of Exact Doppler Spread (EMEDS) and the Modified Method of Equal Area (MMEA). The Modified Extended Method of Exact Doppler Spread (MEMEDS) and New Modified Method of Equal Area (NMMEA) are the new improved parameterization methods. Theoretical performance evaluation of the existing conventional parameterisation methods with the newly enhanced methods is investigated.

Adoption of Sustainable practices for Roads: A case study of the trend in Kerala over past years | ||||||
Traditional pavements using bituminous mixes perform well only when provided with drainage infrastructure, especially in heavy rainfall regions. Providing similar surfaces for low volume rural roads is often done without providing drains, considering space constraints. This impacts draining of rainwater, causing flash floods. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, like use of interlock cement paver blocks, have proven to be a viable and effective alternative by reducing stormwater runoff and ensuring ease of construction and maintenance. Several case studies have focused on residential roads, parking lots, and other low volume roads as potential areas for the provision of permeable pavements. This paper aims to assess the yearly trend in increased use of this construction in the current road scenario in Kerala.

Synergistic Effect or Something Else | ||||||
The unforeseeable effect of project changes can lead to a cumulative impact, which in turn can result in a loss of productivity (LOP). The cumulative impact of changes refers to the synergistic effect of changes not adequately captured in change orders, which are often forward priced. Though a certain correlation between project productivity and the combined volume of changes was observed in published statistical studies, it was also observed that a portion of the productivity impact was not driven by the volume of changes. This paper offers a discussion on this issue.

In this work, we provide a unique approach to islanding detection, based on a deep learning model of a convolutional neural network (CNN) improved using the RMSProp (Root Mean Square Propagation) algorithm to reduce the loss function of the model. The recommended technique is based on time frequency wavelet analysis to generate the dataset for the model, the scalogram image (RGB picture) that is collected from the time series data of voltage signal at the point of common coupling in the proposed system. Finally based on the data and model will predict the islanding and non-islanding event.
