Optimal Investment Strategy for Solar PV Integration in Residential Buildings: A Case Study in The Philippines

Published: October 2020

In developing countries, particularly in rural areas, long periods of power outages are experienced as the electricity grid is technically or economically unfeasible.  As solar photovoltaic (PV) is the most potential and suitable source of renewable energy for these areas, this paper analyzes the economic viability of its integration in different types of residential buildings. Applying real optionsapproach under uncertainty in electricity prices, this study compares the attractiveness of adopting solar PV over continuing electricity from the grid focusing on various investment payment schemes including (i) full payment, (ii) distributed payment for 5 or 10 years without a down payment, and (iii) distributed payment for 5 or 10 years with 20% or 40% down payment. Applying the model with the case of the Philippines, the resultswith the full payment strategy obtain option values of USD 6888 for building type-I, USD 15349 for building type-II, USD 21204 for building type-III, USD 27870 for building type-IV, and USD 34251 for building type-V. These option values increase by 21.6% and 22.5% with distributed payment scheme to a 5- or 10-year period and increase by 5% and 13% for distributed payment with 40% and 20% down payment. These option values decrease with investments at later periods. Contrary to the conventional option valuation results of an optimal decision to wait, our findings show the otherwise as earlier investment reduces the risk of opportunity loss from delaying the adoption of solar PV. Among the payment schemes analyzed, the distribution of PV system cost in a 10-year installment periodwithout down payment shows to be the most optimal investment strategy which may encourage lower-income and risk-averse consumers whose decision to adopt solar PV is affected by cost barriers, economic status, and household income. The study suggests the government, particularly in developing countries, to support the integration of own-use solar PV in buildings through incentives and subsidies, as well as financial institutions to offer more affordable terms of payment that encourages low to medium income households to adopt solar PV.Further, this will not only augment the energy deficiency in these countries but also support the global aspirations of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and its adverse effects through gradually shifting to renewable sources of energy.

Published: October 2020

Let $L_{0}$ be a closed linear positive definite relation ("multivalued operator") in a complex Hilbert space. Using the methods of the extension theory of linear transformations in a Hilbert space, in the terms of so called boundary value spaces (boundary triplets), i.e. in the form that in the case of differential operators leads immediately to boundary conditions, the general forms of a maximal nonnegative, and of a proper maximal $\theta$-accretive extension of the initial relation $L_{0}$ are established.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a challenge to every health system. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that this pandemic will disappear soon. No health system, with its present resources and workflow, is capable enough to deal with a full-blown wave of this pandemic. Acquisition of specific new skills may be fundamental in delivering appropriate health care for our patients. The gold standard for diagnosis of the COVID-19 infection is real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Radiological investigations (chest X-ray or high-resolution computerized tomography [CT]) can be helpful both for diagnosis and management, but they have many limitations. Ultrasound has been suggested as a reliable and accurate tool for assessing the lungs in COVID-19 patients. Lung ultrasound (LUS) can show specific signs of inter-stitial pneumonia, which is characteristic of COVID-19 pulmonary infection. In addition, nonradiologist specialists with experience in ultrasound can be trained on LUS with a relatively rapid learning curve. In pregnancy, LUS can be particularly useful due to the avoidance of exposure to ionizing radiation. In this review, we present the advantages, techniques, and limitations of the use of LUS during the COVID-19 pandemic, with specific focus on pregnancy.

The microgrid vision has come to incorporate various communication technologies, which facilitate residential users to adopt different scheduling schemes in order to manage energy usage with reduced carbon emission. Through this study, we have introduced a novel method for residential load control with energy resources integrated. To this end, an input and optimization algorithm has been employed to control and schedule residential charges for cost savings, consumer inconvenience, and peak-to-average rate savings (PAR) purposes, including real-time electricity costs, energy demand, user expectations, and renewable energy parameters. This paper also provides a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique used to obtain full power from a hybrid power system during the variation of environmental conditions in both photovoltaic stations and batteries. An IEEE 14 bus program was considered to determine the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. This research also aims at developing the role model to determine the behaviors, as a result of a shift in the opening Protocol to the disconnect establishing the power generation island, of distributed energy resources on 14-node IEEE networks. The micro-grid is a simple case for the study of energy flow and smart grid efficiencyvariables and has dispersed tools. The findings show that the energy management system loadcollection using the suggested approach improves performance and decreases losses in contrast to previous approaches.

In speech compression systems, Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is frequently used to distinguish active voice from other noisy sounds. In this paper, a robust approach of VAD is presented to deal with non-stationary noisy environments. The proposed algorithm exploits adaptive thresholding technique to keep a desired False Acceptance (FA) rate. Iterative hypothesis tests, using signal energy, are implemented to discard or to accept the successive audio frames as active voice. According to the stationary property of the speech, we provide a smoothing method to obtain final VAD decisions. The main contribution of the proposed algorithm concerns its ability to automatically adjust the energy threshold according to the local noise estimator. We analyzed the proposed approach by presenting a comparison with the G.729-B via the NOIZEUS database. The VAD architecture is implemented on a Microcontroller-based system (MCU). Several tests have been conducted by performing real time acquisition via the Input/Output ports of the MCU-system.

Published: October 2020

Load frequency control (LFC) problem has been a foremost issue in electrical power system operation and is becoming more important recently with growing size, changing structure, and complexity in interconnected power systems. In general, LFC system utilizes simple proportional integral (PI) controller. However, due to the PI control parameters are commonly adjusted based on classical or trial-error method (TEM), it is incapable of obtaining good dynamic performance for a wide range of operating conditions and various load change scenarios in a multi-area power system. This paper introduces a novel control scheme for load frequency control (LFC) using hybrid fuzzy proportional integral (fuzzy PI) and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) optimal control, where fuzzy logic control (FLC) is used to adjust the gains KP and KI of PI controller which called fuzzy PI in this paper, while the LQR optimal control method is employed to obtain the feedback gain KOP through Algebraic Riccati Equation (ARE). The merit of both control strategies is to tune their control feedback gains, which are KP, KI and KOP, regarding various system operating conditions. Artificial immune system (AIS) via clonal selection is utilized to optimize the membership function (MF) of fuzzy PI and weighting matrices Q and R of LQR optimal control in order to obtain their optimal feedback gains. To examine the efficacy of the proposed method, LFC of two-area power system model is utilized as a test system. The amalgamation of fuzzy PI-LQR is applied to improve the dynamic performance of two-area LFC. Other control schemes such as PI controller, hybrid PI controllerLQR, and hybrid fuzzy PI-LQR are also investigated to the studied a test system. The obtained simulation results show that the proposed method could compress the settling time and decrease the overshoot of LFC which is better than other approaches that are also employed to the tested system in this study.

The main objective of this paper is to allow renewable energy sources (RES) to actively participate within hybrid microgrid by proposing a new control system based on fractional order proportional integral (FOPI) controller. Fractional order proportional integral controller is a classical proportional integral (PI) in which the integral part is a fraction instead of integer numbers. The paper introduces a hybrid photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine and battery storage system connected to a three-phase grid. Three types of controller are considered and compared for a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES), namely, FOPI, PI, and the fractional order integral control (FIC). For the PV resource, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller was designed using the incremental conductance plus integral regulator technique. A DC/DC boost converter was utilized to connect the renewable energy resources to a point of common coupling. MATLAB/Simulink is adopted to perform the simulation results of the developed HRES. The results show that the FOPI controller outperforms other controllers under several operating conditions. The paper also includes experimental results from a prototype real scale.

A new method for islanding and non-islanding disturbances detection and classification is proposed for a multiple PV based distributed generation (DG) system utilizing adaptive multi-scale morphological filter (AMF) and random vector functional link network (RVFLN) classifier. In comparison to different signal analysis techniques, the mathematical MF, that has wide application in power signals, EEG signal analysis, image processing, pattern recognition, etc. posses the benefit of easy execution, fast processing, and minimal computations. Further it is well known that a single scale morphological filter has limited noise filtering capacity and may also filter useful signal disturbance components resulting in erroneous detection of disturbance signals in microgrid. Therefore, an adaptive multiscale combined morphological filter is presented in this paper built on the concept of multiscale overall filtering which has better denoising effect and can retain useful signals better than the traditional filter. The proposed technique is built upon the measurement of voltage signal samples and the processing of these signals through AMF has been done for feature extraction. The extracted features are then employed as inputs to an efficient, fast, and easily implementable randomized network based classifier (RVFLN) which is made robust to reject the presence noise and outliers in the signal data. The outputs exhibited from the suggested technique concludes that it is s very fast and accurate technique for the detection and classification of islanding and non-islanding events in comparison to the widely used approaches.

Optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) is a way to improve power system performance. Determination of the optimal value of the control variable can reduce the objective function to be achieved. The optimization of the two objective functions simultaneously is called multi-objective ORPD (MORPD). This research has a major contribution in proposing and utilizing original ideas from new algorithms and new ideas from the old algorithm to solve more complex variables and challenging ORPD problems. The ORPD problem is formulated as a nonlinear model with variables consisting of continuous and discrete. The proposed multi-objective algorithm is time-varying particle optimization (MOTVPSO), ant lion objective (MOALO), dragonfly algorithm (MODA), grey wolf optimizer (MOGWO), and multi-objective multi-verse optimization (MOMVO). To measure the effectiveness of those algorithms, testing is performed on the IEEE 57-bus. The simulation results show that the MOTVPSO algorithm can contribute more dominantly from the statistical tests conducted compared to previous studies and all four algorithms in this work to minimize real power loss. Whereas the MOMVO has an advantage in computational time efficiency.

In planning and operation processes of power systems, the most critical and outstanding problem is the optimal scheduling of reactive power resources. The current research study considered real power loss as well as the deviation of voltage magnitude as objective functions since these two play important roles in a power system’s operations and control. Due to the above-mentioned considerations, bi-objective optimization takes a form here. In the recent times, lot of meta-heuristic optimization techniques was implemented to elucidate ORPD problem. One such recently advanced algorithm named Interior Search Algorithm is utilized to find a solution for challenges in power system. It is observed that it is not producing accurate solution and convergence characteristic curve is also not smooth. In order to enhance the searching ability of ISA a new method called Levy Interior Search Algorithm (LISA) was proposed in this paper. In this two different strategies of LISA were proposed. In order to validate the proposed algorithm, LISA is implemented on five various standard test systems comprising IEEE 30-bus, IEEE 57-bus, IEEE 118-bus, IEEE 300-bus and IEEE 354-bus test systems. To conclude, application results of LISA are compared with the results of other optimization techniques reported in literature. The comparison reveals that the LISA Strategy-II outperformed all other optimization techniques in terms of robustness, accuracy and convergence speed.

Authors: Teixeira Igor Costa , Maia Vinicius Mothé , Teixeira Rudolph Fabiano Alves Pedroza
Published: October 2020

O cooperativismo de crédito é especialmente importante para diversos municípios brasileiros que não dispõem de acesso ao crédito bancário. Torna-se relevante analisar como os indicadores contábeis propostos pelo sistema PEARLS se relacionam com o risco das cooperativas, impactando diretamente o desenvolvimento de áreas carentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar se os indicadores contábeis propostos pelo sistema PEARLS apresentam relação com o risco das cooperativas de crédito brasileiras. Caso tal hipótese seja confirmada, pode-se afirmar que as informações contábeis contidas nesses indicadores são úteis para auxiliar seus usuários na tomada de decisões. Para tanto, foi construído um modelo econométrico tendo como variável dependente o beta contábil das cooperativas (risco) explicado pelos indicadores contábeis PEARLS. Os resultados apontaram para uma relação positiva e significativa entre o risco de uma cooperativa e seus depósitos totais, sua provisão para estimativa de créditos de liquidação duvidosa (inadimplência), e suas despesas operacionais. Além disso, todas as variáveis foram relevantes para explicar o risco das cooperativas de crédito. Isso sugere que as informações contábeis presentes nos indicadores PEARLS são úteis para auxiliar seus usuários a tomarem decisões quanto à avaliação de risco dessas entidades. Essa constatação é relevante, pois a eventual insolvência das cooperativas de crédito impacta não somente os cooperados, mas também as localidades onde estão inseridas.

Authors: Mr. Dharmesh Dhabliya, Mr. Rahul Sharma
Published: October 2020

WSN which is called as Wireless Sensor Networks plays vital role in many applications. Most WSNs exploit clustering method for data communication from sensor destination nodes to the sink. So, Clustering should be made as efficient as possible. In most of the existing clustering protocols, residual nodes (non-cluster nodes) may be formed during clustering. Though these nodes can send their data directly to the base station, it needs large amount of energy. In the proposed method, PSO algorithm which is termed as Particle Swarm Optimization is used for cluster configuration which evades the formation of residual nodes. The base station performs cluster formation. Network Simulator-2 (NS-2) tool is used to achieve simulation. Simulation outcomes reveal enhanced operation of the proposed protocol than existing LEACH and OEERP protocols.

Optimization of Classified Satellite Images using DWT and Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Mr. Kaustubh Patil
Published: October 2020

The image taken by a satellite can be enhanced in terms of its resolution based on the interpolation can be obtained by DWT. Using DWT, the image at the input is divided into several sub bands and the speckle noise is also removed. Thereafter, the high-level images and low-level image at the input can be combined, to produce a better image applying IDWT. An intermediate stage for approximating high level is proposed here. The variation in detection approaches for SAR images are done by using image fusion strategy and novel fuzzy clustering algorithm. To retrieve an enhanced image, wavelet fusion directives are considered to combine the wavelet coefficients. A fuzzy C-means algorithm is proposed for identifying the altered and unaltered regions in the combined difference image.
