Integration of DERs for Optimal Sharing of Power in Grid Connected Mode as Well as Islanded Mode
Authors: Bangar Raju L , Subba Rao K
Published: April 2019

The Microgrid consists of distributed energy resources, DERs(distributed generators - DGs) and distributed storages - DSs), loads, PCC, energy management controllers etc., which are required for effective, efficient, reliable and seamless operation of microgrid in both grid connected mode and islanded mode. The heart of the microgrid is the integration part of the DERs with energy management controllers. Out of the methods available, hierarchical method of integrating DERs is selected in this paper. The method is based on the principle of hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) which takes into account of genetic algorithm (GA) and PSO. In this paper, the best part of particle to particle information sharing in GA is combined with fast convergence option in PSO, to get the optimum solution with minimum no of iterations. Integration of DERs is nothing but energy management in supply side management (SSM) as well as demand side management (DSM). DSM consists of load shedding or load shifting to an alternate feeder. The primary energy controller MC (microsource controller) controls voltage and frequency through droop control inverters. The secondary controller (MGCC) monitors the flow of active and reactive power in the microgrid and communicates to the DMS (distribution management system). The tertiary controller, DMS takes care of overall control of the network like export, import, islanding, economical aspects of the DERs operation in the microgrid. The energy management module (MGCC) must also contain protection co-ordination module (PCM) along with energy management module (EMM), for relay co-ordination as microgrid consists of two operating modes viz., grid connected mode and islanded mode. The fault currents substantially reduces to smaller values in islanded mode as DERs inertias are low. For this reason the PCM must have two settings and auto changeover of settings are required from one mode to another by PCM module to suit islanding and grid modes.

Authors: C. Verma Mukesh , Ranjan Rakesh , Kumar Rakesh
Published: April 2019

Electricity tariff is the price of electricity to be paid by the electricity consumers. Determination of electricity tariff is major function of the Regulatory Commissions of the concerned states. Tariff is analysed through a rational process including important role of all stakeholders, including electricity users. The regulator follows a set process mentioned in Act and Regulations, conducts public hearings before the tariff is determined. Special tariff rates need to be measured for Green Energy and Electric Vehicles (EVs) because of their sustainability in nature. State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have a major role to play in promoting Green Energy and EVs for providing optimum tariff structure for EV charging. Despite of new draft model regulations availability, progress is very slow. Regulators need to build a new cadre and capacity for making their regulations and policies to cater future needs. Time to implement new technology is less and utilities are only working on pilot projects. SERCs need to come forward to play leadership role for protecting an environment by promoting sustainability. In my paper, I would like to analyse current scenario and based on the global practice on various tariff structures to optimise electricity use and promote sustainability, will recommend new tariff structure.

In the recent time, the huge expansion in the application of the real-time applications for smartphones resulted in new difficulties when it is time to develop new protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETS). Most important within these difficulties is to activate real-time applications for mobile ad-hoc networks which includes quality of service (QoS) support, like bandwidth constraints and stability issues. Adding to this of course the reliability of the nodes as an important factor that has a direct effect on the network performance and data integrity.In this paper we will discussed the QoS main issue that affect several factors in the mobile ad hoc networks, which is the reliability. Because of the fact that the reliability and the availability of the nodes can be interacted made me use both the terms throughout the paper. we will suggest the efficient multi-path Quality of service routing (EMQR), (EMQR) as a QoS guarantee for the stability and reliability issues in the network. Next, we will discuss the availability issues as a QoS guarantee and for this we will suggest the best suitable protocol which is “an efficient warning energy aware Cluster head” WEAC as a solution to the availability issue.The two protocols will guarantee the availability and the reliability in MANETs as it is the new direction for routing algorithms design and it is a way to enhance the availability by controlling the Cluster head based on its power level as a metric for availability as in WEAC protocol and the reliability by increasing the reserved bandwidth for the route as mentioned in EMQR protocol.

In this paper, 20 guided traffic signs mostly displayed around Malacca area were selected as project databased. Early hypothesis was made as the error for each usable image will increased as more interference introduced to the original image used. Three types of conditions which are hidden region, image brightness and image rotation were selected as an experiment to analyze the performance of each sign used. Each condition will perform a specific error to generate their mean value and in the same, image recognition will take place in the matchup process. By focusing on the result, it produces hidden region critically ascending mean error value at 62.5% = 0.07 and has average value at others points. For image brightness effect, it shows a higher mean error value collected at less brightness points and non-stable pattern at 10% to 60% brightness. As for rotation upshot, the values show a critically ascending for error value at 22.5% and slightly increase at 2% to 5% rotation point. For the recognition process, at 6.25% hidden region, almost 70% of images are correctly matched to its own classes while at 62.5% hidden region only 40% of images are correctly matched to its own classes and leaving 2 images to outperform. For -40% brightness, 45% of images are correctly matched to its own classes while at 60% brightness 65% of images are correctly matched to its own classes and leaving 1 image to outperform. Lastly, at 2.5 degree rotation, 85% of images are correctly matched to its own classes while at 25° rotation, 45% of images are correctly matched to its own classes and leaving 2 images to outperform. Finally, the error forms will affect the final output response of the detected traffic signs used.

Preferential taxation regimes are recognized in the modern developed states as the most effective way of stimulation of entrepreneurial and investment activity. We examined the Russian mechanism of establishment of the preferential taxation regimes that have been developed for entrepreneurial and other investment activities and their infrastructure designed to provide mechanisms of operations. Our comparative analyses of the best practices in preferential taxation regimes across developing countries inform readers about advantages and risks of the investment activities and organization of business in certain territories of modern Russia. Critical appraisal of theories and practices in the formation of specific preferential taxation regimes would assist readers in the implementation of entrepreneurial and investment activity in modern Russia, revealing features of optimal regimes for specific businesses with possible mitigation or prevention of financial risks for investors. Critical comparative analysis of the best foreign practices in China, Singapore, and United Arab Emirates in the organization of foreign businesses sheds light on the most effective forms of such investment activities.Incompleteness and fragmentariness of the Russian legislation supporting preferential taxation regimes prevent successful implementation of foreign entrepreneurial and investment activities.The Russian legislation must be revised to ensure an attractive environment for foreign investments. Successful business and innovative activities would be possible only by the realization of the following legally significant steps: 1) adoption of the basic legislation 2) statewide programs supporting the development of free economic zones of advanced economic development.

Medicinal plants are producers of many biologically active substances – compounds that can influence biological processes in animals; such compounds include cardiac glycosides, saponins, sterols, carotenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, vitamins, quinones, as well as substances with specific aroma, taste and color. Objects of the research were the extracts of purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), maral root (Leuzea carthamoides), holy thistle (Silybum marianum) and marigold (Calendula officinalis) obtained by low-temperature water-ethanolic extraction followed by low-temperature vacuum drying of the extracts. The content of biologically active substances was determined in accordance with the standard methods of chemical analysis for phytobiotic substances. As shown by the results of the studies, phytobiotic substances contain ascorbic acid, polysaccharides, tannins, carotenoids, phytosterols, fructose and inulin. They also contain many flavonoids, which, presumably, efficiently alter the economic-useful qualities of agricultural animals and poultry. The phytobiotical feed additives may indirectly control the intestinal microflora, supporting the internal protective mechanisms of the animal organism. The use of phytobiotical feed additives in the diet of farm animals and poultry is rationally substantiated, and contributes to abandoning the use of antibiotics in the fodder.

Spectral analysis for evaluation of the optical fiber cable performance using experimental and ANN techniques
Authors: J. Abbas H.
Published: April 2019

This work deals with the performance evaluation of the optical fiber cables by calculating the changes in the power spectral density, power spectrum, and phase of the response signals from which the faults can be deducted and identified and accordingly the performance can be evaluated. An experimental program has been conducted by exciting the cable and then measuring the power spectral density, power spec-trum, and phase of the response signal for the faulty and un-faulty cables. The calculated and measured results are fed to the ANN system in order to train the ANN program, then the trained ANN package will be used as a parametric study of deduction and identification of cable faults. The ANN system detects and identities the faults in optical fiber. The experimental results power spectral density, power spectrum, and phase measurements are compared with ANN techniques results. Both results showed a good agreement with maximum error less than (1.26%). Finally, the paper shown with vibration test for cable and evaluate for electrical characterizations can be prediction for crack depth or location parameters.

This paper presents the establishment of a relationship between coil spring fatigue life and automotive vertical vibration using neural network. During an automotive suspension design process, the suspension components are designed with the consideration of structure strength and fatigue life as well as the effects toward automotive ride. Hence, it is important to have a functional mathematical model to predict the fatigue life and automotive life simultaneously. To build the mathematical model, a multibody kinematic quarter model of suspension system was constructed to simulate force and acceleration time histories from the suspension system and the sprung mass of the vehicle model. The force time histories were used to predict the fatigue life of the coil spring while the acceleration time histories were converted into ISO vertical vibration index. A neural network model was created and used to fit the spring fatigue life and vehicle vertical vibration into a mathematical function. The neural network with 1 hidden layer and 2 neurons has shown a good fitting of the data with coefficient of determination as high as 0.88, 0.98, 0.96 for training, validation and testing, respectively. This constructed neural network serves to predict the vehicle vertical vibration using the spring fatigue life and suspension natural frequencies as input, and hence reduce the automotive suspension design process.
A New Analytical Model of the Brake Pad for Improved Calculation of the Centre of Pressure and Friction Coefficient in A Multi-Piston Disc Brake

Published: April 2019

In recent experimental work it has been observed that the position of the centre of pressure (CoP) at the brake pad/disc interface has an influence on the onset of brake squeal. To determine the CoP during a braking event, a simple two-dimensional analytical model of the brake pad or more complex numerical finite element model of a disc brake are commonly used. This paper presents a new three-dimensional analytical model of a brake pad that determines the CoP position in both circumferential and radial directions. Due to higher complexity, this model provides more realistic clamp and friction force values, which can be used together with the more accurate radial position of the CoP for evaluation of the brake torque. The CoP position calculated using the new model was compared with the CoP evaluated by a finite-element model of an equivalent 8-piston opposed disc brake. The CoP results across the whole pad/disc interface showed a close correlation between these two approaches, giving the new analytical model a potential use in applications where an instantaneous value of the CoP with good accuracy is required. Finally, the new model was used to demonstrate possible improvement of the traditional method of the friction coefficient calculation. Due to greater accuracy the new model gives an approximately 8% larger value of the friction coefficient than the traditional approach.

Electric driving is one of the main courses in energy science. It represents the relationship between an electric motor as a tool to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and between a managed or mechanical device that drives it through belts or gears. In the current research, a three-phase synchronous motor 1200 Watt was used to drag an electric vehicle with a rated load of 150 kg and at a speed of up to 40 km per hour. Transmission from the electric motor to the vehicle's tires is done through a gear to rotate the wheels of the vehicle. Batteries are used to store continuous electrical power from a 220-volt alternating power source using the DC/AC inverter. Solar energy 150 Watt has also been used by using a solar panel placed on the roof of the vehicle. Mechanical energy has also been used by mechanical pedal. The vehicle was tested on a flat and sloping road in Baquba / Diyala province / Iraq. The efficiency tests proved the acceleration and balance of the car are good and matched with the theoretical calculations.

Windscreen wiper vibration problem is now becoming one of the comforts and safety concerns because it can be annoying to the driver and passengers and also affect concentration of the driver while driving. This paper investigate the problems by measuring the wiper blade contact force and vibration level on laboratory wiper experimental rig and wiper system on two different sedan passenger cars operated similarly. In order to measure the vibration and contact force along the wiper blade, MMA7660 accelerometer and a thin film force sensor FSR was used. The contact force is measured at four points; Points 1 (inner tip), 2 (middle blade) and 3 (middle blade) and Point 4 (outer tip), along the wiper blade. Based on the measurement, it was found that the contact force is much higher at Points 1, Point 2 and Point 3 compared to Point 4. For vibration level, higher vibration is occurred at Points 2 and Point 3. It can be conclude that the bigger the contact force value act on windscreen the bigger for the vibration level to be produce. From this founding, further research can be conducted and tackle the problem at certain point along the wiper blade.
