Paper Title:

Transitioning Residential Neighbourhoods: A Case Study of Jayalaximpuram, Mysore, India

Abstract: In India, large cities are experiencing rapid population and spatial growths. The rising land costs are making the construction of reasonably priced. Local and Planning Authorities are encouraging to transition to commercial retail establishments or higher-density residential uses that supports the need to supply housing apartments by designating streets and areas. Many streets in residential areas have altered into commercial, public and semi public activity and apartments. Transition of land uses is inevitable in large cities like Mysore. Thus, the residential areas are affected greatly in terms of increasing density and overloading the existing infrastructure facilities by changing dynamics of land use. With a result of this, the residential areas are transforming into mixed land use. The City of Mysore is on the large and emerging metropolitan cities in the State of Karnataka. Jayalaxmipuram residential neighbourhood is one among many residential areas which was developed immediately after Independence. The neighbourhood is experiencing rapid land use transformation. The paper presents the residential neighbourhood transformation due changing dynamics of land use in Jayalaxmipuram, Mysore and proposes planning strategies for addressing the transitioning of residential land use.

Paper Title:

An Enhanced Feature Selection Tool for Face Detection using Genetic Algorithm

Abstract:  Various face detection techniques has been proposed over the past decade. Generally, a large number of features are required to be selected for training purposes of face detection system. Often some of these features are irrelevant and does not contribute directly to the face detection algorithm. This creates unnecessary computation and usage of large memory space. In this paper we propose to enlarge the features search space by enriching it with more types of features. With an additional seven new feature types, we show how Genetic Algorithm (GA) can be used, within the Adaboost framework, to find sets of features which can provide better classifiers with a shorter training time. The technique is referred as GABoost for our face detection system. The GA carries out an evolutionary search over possible features search space which results in a higher number of feature types and sets selected in lesser time. Experiments on a set of images from BioID database proved that by using GA to search on large number of feature types and sets, GA Boost is able to obtain cascade of boosted classifiers for a face detection system that can give higher detection rates, lower false positive rates and less training time  but gives higher detection rates.

Keywords:   Genetic Algorithm, cascade of classifiers, Adaboost, rectangle features.

Water Quality Assessment of “River Morna” Through Akola

Abstract: Akola is growing industrial city and also the pilgrim place in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra State popularly known as cotton city, spreading on an area of 10 Sq.km. It is situated on the bank of “River Morna”. Nearly 65 MLD of waste water is flowing through the drainage system to the river water. Major part of the waste water is directly discharged into the “River Morna” and further many villages on the downstream side are using the river water for drinking and for irrigation purposes. The higher BOD, COD and other chemical and biological contents are polluting the river water and affecting quality of soil by lowering its fertility and health effect to people of Akola. It was intended to carry out the analysis of waste water of “River Morna”. The sampling points were decided for collection of waste water from the “River Morna” and analysis is carried out and the results are discussed in the paper.

Paper Title:

Development of a Farm Level Paddy Rice Parboiling Device

Abstract:  The need to improve on parboiling techniques by rural farmers in Nigeria has led to the development of a parboiling device at the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, University of Agriculture, Makurdi. Design and construction of a paddy rice parboiler was carried out using an empty 200 litres metal drum. It has a soaking chamber of 0.1378 m3 with perforated floor of 570 m3 and a steaming chamber of 0.0919 m3. The steaming chamber is directly below the soaking chamber and it is provided with two drain plugs to drain water off from the paddy mass and the steaming chamber. A rotating grid is incorporated to serve as a stirrer. The parboiler is mounted on a titling frame for ease of evacuation of the paddy after parboiling. Firewood was used as the source of fuel. The evaluation of the parboiler was done using 50 kg of the long grain rice (SIPPI). The performance of the developed parboiler was compared with the traditional method of parboiling using empty drums and the industrial method. A water uptake test was carried out for the products of the developed parboiler, traditional and industrial methods.  Panel subjective test was used to compare the quality of the rice parboiled with the developed parboiler, the traditional and industrial parboiler. The developed parboiler, parboiled 50 kg of rice in 30mins. The quantity of fuel (firewood) used in parboiling was 3.6 kg at a parboiling temperature of 950C. The traditional parboiler parboiled 50 kg of rice in 3 hours and the quantity of fuel (firewood) used in parboiling was 9.8 kg at a temperature of 105 0C.  Panels’ assessment showed that the quality of rice produced by the developed parboiler is good when compared to the traditional and industrial methods of parboiling. Overall results show a significant improvement, less time of operation and a cheaper cost using the developed parboiler. A 0.05 significant level used to test the null hypothesis concluded that there is no significant difference in the water uptake of the rice parboiled using the developed, industrial and traditional parboilers at varying temperatures. With a production cost of N15,750:00 (fifteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty naira only) and an operating cost of N400:00 (four hundred naira) which is equivalent to an average of 4.2 tons/month capacity of 35 tons of parboiled paddy per year, the developed parboiler gives a higher economic benefit than the traditional parboiler which cost N3,500:00 (three thousand, five hundred naira) with an average output of 10 tons of parboiled rice per year, which is equivalent to an average of 0.83 tons/month.

Paper Title:

Power Control of a Hybrid Wind Generator for Distributed Power Generation and Grid Integration

Abstract:   In this paper A dc-coupled wind/hydrogen/super capacitor hybrid power system is proposed is control the system and is to coordinate these different sources, particularly their power exchange, in order to make controllable the generated power. The generated power does not depend on the grid requirement but entirely on the fluctuant wind condition. As a result, an active wind generator can be built to provide some ancillary services to the grid. The control system should be adapted to integrate the power management strategies. Two power management strategies are presented and compared experimentally. We found that the “source-following” strategy has better performances on the grid power regulation than the “grid-following” strategy.

2-Bit CMOS Comparator by Hybridizing PTL and Pseudo Logic

Abstract:    In this paper an area and power efficient hybrid comparator is proposed by hybridizing PTL and Pseudo logic design. This hybrid comparator is proposed to improve area and power in 120 nm technology and compared with the previous work. To improve area and power minimum number of transistor logic is used in the proposed hybrid comparator. The proposed comparator has been designed and simulated using DSCH 3.1 and Microwind 3.1 on 120nm. Also the simulation of layout and parametric analysis has been done for the proposed comparator design. Power and current variation with respect to the supply voltage and temperature has been performed on BSIM-4 and LEVEL-3 on 120nm. Results show that area consumed by the proposed hybrid comparator is 40.99% on 120nm technology. At 1.2V input supply voltage the proposed adder has shown an improvement of 42.69% in power on BSIM-4 120nm technology

Twelve Directional Feature Extraction for Handwritten English Character Recognition

Abstract:      Directional features have been successfully used for the recognition of both machine printed as well as handwritten characters. Selection of feature extraction method is probably the single most important factor in achieving high performance in pattern recognition. In this paper, twelve directional features are used for the recognition of handwritten English alphabets and numerals. The properties of similarity measure are analysed with directional pattern matching. Then the comparison is made between recognition rate of conventional and twelve directional feature extraction techniques. The experiment shows that directional feature extraction techniques are better than conventional one.

Keywords:    Feature extraction, Pattern recognition, Directional pattern matching, Recognition rate.

Neural Network Approach for Web Usage Mining

Abstract: Web usage mining attempts to discover useful knowledge from the secondary data obtained from the interactions of the users with the Web. Web usage mining has become very critical for effective Web site management, business and support services, personalization, and network traffic flow analysis and so on. Previous study on Web usage mining using a concurrent Clustering, Neural based approach has shown that the usage trend analysis very much depends on the performance of the clustering of the number of requests. In this paper, a novel approach Self Organizing Map is introduced, which is a kind of neural network, in the process of Web Usage Mining to detect user’s patterns. We are going to analyze the traditional K-Means algorithm result with comparison to SOM. The process details the transformations necessaries to modify the data storage in the Web Servers Log files to an input of SOM.

Paper Title:

Enhancement of Transient Stability in Transmission Line Using SVC Facts Controller

Abstract:  This paper will discuss and demonstrate how Static Var Compensator (SVC) has successfully been applied to control transmission systems dynamic performance for system disturbance and effectively regulate system voltage. SVC is basically a shunt connected static var generator whose output is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current so as to maintain or control specific power variable; typically, the control variable is the SVC bus voltage. One of the major reasons for installing a SVC in transmission line is to improve transient stability of a line. Static VAR Compensator is a shunt connected FACTS devices, and plays an important role as a stability aid for dynamic and transient disturbances in power systems. UPFC controller is another FACTS device which can be used to control active and reactive power flows in a transmission line. The damping of power system oscillations after a three phase fault is also analyzed with the analyzation of the effects of SVC on transient stability performance of a power system. A general program for transient stability studies to incorporate FACTS devices is developed using modified partitioned solution approach. The modeling of SVC for transient stability evaluation is studied and tested on a 10-Generator, 39 - Bus, New England Test System.

Paper Title:

Efficient Optimization Of FPGA On-Chip Memory For Image Processing Algorithm

Abstract:  This paper is concerned with efficient optimization and low power implementation of FPGA on-chip memories in image processing algorithms. In recent years on chip memories are expected to increase continuously which depends upon the application for future generation portable devices and high performance processors. Memory plays a major role in image processing applications more than 90% of the consumed power in the system is by the memory part. This paper provides a novel approach by making SPSRAM to function like a DPSRAM. It supports most of the access schemes for Image processing algorithms and also when the readout changes the memories need not to be redesigned. It achieves high throughput, less hardware requirement and high bandwidth utilization. The   full bandwidth utilization has been achieved by splitting the on-chip memory into four sub banks.  The Optimization of power can be done by making any two banks active at a time.It is well suited for various image coding algorithms when compared to the typical SPSRAM and TDP SRAM.It finds applications in most of the parallel processing fields.GENERAL TERMS Design, measurement, performance, theory

Keywords:  Bandwidth utilization, Field programmable gate array, Power optimization, SRAM, access schemes in image processing, TDP SRAM.

Paper Title:

A New Method for PAPR Reduction in MIMO- OFDM Using Combination of OSTBC Encoder and DCT Matrix

Abstract:   Multiple-Input Multiple-Output  Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is an attractive air-interface solution for next generation wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), and fourth generation mobile cellular wireless systems. However one of the main disadvantage associated with MIMO-OFDM systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitter’s output signal on different antennas. High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for MIMO-OFDM system is still a demanding area and difficult issue. So far numerous techniques based on PAPR reduction have been proposed. In this paper a new technique based on the combination of Orthogonal Space Time Block Code (OSTBC) Encoder and Discrete Cosine Transform  based Selective Level Mapping as method of PAPR reduction technique has been proposed and simulated. The results have been verified in terms of various graphs and plots and are compared with earlier results of embedded transform techniques. Simulations show that better results are obtained in the proposed technique

Paper Title:

Power Quality Enhancement of Distributed Network fed with Renewable Energy Sources based on Interfacing Inverter

Abstract: Renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity using dish-stirling systems, and wind turbine power are environmentally advantageous sources of energy that can be considered for electric power generation.  The expenses of renewable  energy technologies  have decreased  in recent  years,  so that  an ever-increasing  number  of applications  can  be economically justified by utilities. The integration  of generation  from renewable  energy sources into electric power distribution  systems  is a reasonable  way  for  electric  utilities  to  apply  renewable  energy  resources,  since  it places  the sources near the load with  more efficient operation. The interfacing inverter is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating active power filter functionality and this inverter is used to inject power generated from Renewable Energy Sources to the grid. The objectives of this paper is to develop an assessment methodology for  renewable  energy  electric  generation  and  energy  storage  facilities  integrated  into  electric power distribution systems which addresses the distributed benefits of electricity generation from renewable sources and their true value to the system, and to apply the methodology in case studies. The renewable energy sources which are interconnected to distributed network with interfacing power electronic inverter is analyzed for power quality enhancement by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Paper Title:

Effect on Multiband Behavior of Square Fractal Dipole Antenna with the Variation of Angle between Square Fractals

Abstract:  In this paper the design of square shape multiband dipole antenna using fractal geometry is described. The fractal antenna has been designed on substrate FR-4 having thickness h=1.4mm, ∈_r= 4.4 with dimension 70×35mm. Ansoft HFSS software has been used to design and simulate the antenna. The antenna exhibit multiband resonances due to the self similarity in its structure. Firstly antenna was designed up to fourth iteration by keeping angle of 450 between adjacent squares. The experimental result indicates that the antenna resonates at six frequencies 0.75GHz, 2.15 GHz, 3.35 GHz, 4.65 GHz, 5.95 GHz and 7.25 GHz.  It is observed that the multiband behavior of antenna is affected by the variation in angle between adjacent square fractals. In same design when angle between adjacent square fractals is reduced up to 100 the resonance frequencies also get reduced up to three, but at these three resonant frequencies the percentage of bandwidth get increased which means antenna shows wideband behavior.

Paper Title:

Thermal Recognition in Biometrics Approach

Abstract:   Humans recognize each other according to their various characteristics for ages. We recognize others by their face when we meet them and by their voice as we speak to them. Identity verification (authentication) in computer systems has been traditionally based on something that one has (key, magnetic or chip card) or one knows (PIN, password). Things like keys or cards, however, tend to get stolen or lost and passwords are often forgotten or disclosed. To achieve more reliable verification or identification we should use something that really characterizes the given person. Biometrics offer automated methods of identity verification or identification on the principle of measurable physiological or behavioural characteristics such as a fingerprint or a voice sample. The characteristics are measurable, unique and these characteristics should biometrics not be duplicable. Proper design and implementation of the biometric system can indeed increase the overall security; especially the smartcard based solutions seem to be very promising. Making a secure biometric systems is, however, not as easy as it might appear. The word biometrics is very often used as a synonym for the perfect security

Paper Title:

A New, Fast and Efficient Wavelet Based Image Compression Technique Using JPEG2000 with EBCOT versus SPIHT

Abstract:    A wavelet is a function like a small wave and a ripple of baseline.  The Wavelet Transform (WT) is a technique for analyzing signals.  It was developed as an alternative to the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to overcome the problems related to its frequency and time resolution properties.  Wavelet can be used to represent data as diverse as heart beats and television signals, in a way that reduces redundancy within the signal.  Therefore it can be used for image compression.  This paper focuses important features of wavelet transform in compression of still images, including the extent to which the quality of image is degraded by the process of wavelet compression and decompression. The techniques used are Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) and Embedded Block Coding Optimal Truncation Code (EBCOT). These techniques are more efficient and provide a better quality in the image. In compression, wavelets have shown a good adaptability to a wide range of data, while being of reasonable complexity.  The above techniques have been successfully used in many applications. The techniques are compared by using the performance parameters PSNR.  Images obtained with those techniques yield very good results.

Comparative Analysis on Software’s used in Expert System with Special Reference to Agriculture

Abstract:  The expert system developed by various experts clearly indicate that different software’s were used to develop computer based expert system for different applications. There are two ways of building expert system: one is to develop from scratch i.e. to code the expert system as a normal computer programme for each domain using programming languages like CLIPS, PROLOG, LISP, VB 6.0, VB.Net, ASP.Net, PHP etc as front end, MS Access, MySQL, ORACLE etc as back end and the other is to use an expert system shell i.e. to build an expert system with the help of specially designed programmes that are commercially available which may be used for a particular domain. The shell enables the user to build their own expert system with or without the help from knowledge engineers. Thus shells can make considerable saving on programming time. Because of this, building expert system can be faster and more commercial. This paper discuss about different softwares used for the development of expert system.

Paper Title:

Implementation of RNG in FPGA using Efficient Resource Utilization

Abstract:   Computers’ required random numbers initially, for simulations and numerical computations like Monte Carlo calculations. Random number generators offer an important contribution to many communication systems for security. They are critical components in computational science. However the tradeoff between quality and computational performance is an issue for many numerical simulations. FPGA optimized RNGs are efficient in terms of resources than other types of software-based RNGs which means that they can take advantage of bitwise operations and FPGA based specific features. One of the types of FPGA based RNG called a LUT-SR RNG is illustrated using an algorithm. Shift registers are used to improve mixing rate between numbers. Results will be misleading when correlations exist between the random numbers and hence permutations are used. The LUTs are configured into shift registers. The algorithm is simplified based on the architecture such that it ensures longer periods. A generator with a period of 2^(r )-1 can be implemented and provides r random output bits. This provides a good quality balance compared to previous generators. The critical path between all registers is a single LUT. The program is run in ModelSim 6.4a and implementation is done using Xilinx PlanAhead Virtex5 kit.

Beamforming based Speech Recognition using Genetic Algorithm for Real-time Systems

Abstract:  The speech based applications have been always important in communication for the humans. There are in various essential applications like speech recognition, voice-distance-talk and other forms of personal communications. Most recently, speech based interface has been tried to be employed in almost all the mobile and stationary devices. However, these attempts could not give ultimate response due to variations in surrounding noises, changes in person to person speech and also intra person variation. This scenario leads to further research that will make speech recognition more robust and general and can be applied upcoming electronic devices to be sued for gaming, entertainment, cellular phones. The broad categories of speech enhancement techniques can be listed as speech filtering techniques, beam forming techniques and active noise cancellation methods. In this paper, we have improved the performance of beamforming based speech recognition system using evolutionary computational algorithms (Genetic algorithm, GA). Additionally, the system is made to be working in real-time as time required for classifier has been reduced dramatically. This is particularly achieved by including the zeros at random places and in random amount in initial population chromosomes, which were generated randomly in the range of 0 to 1. This results in the reduction of feature elements in feature descriptor and have feature vector length. The experiments were performed for 20 words including numbers and commands, 10 words of numbers only and 10 words of commands only for different values of filter bank parameters.  The results show the effectiveness of the GA optimization in all the subsets of experiments with different parameters of beamforming.

Paper Title:

Design of Steam Pipe Layout and Hanger Support in Thermal Power Station

Abstract:    Steam piping layout in thermal power station is used to transfer steam from one area to another area to perform the work. The present paper is related to steam piping layout between Boiler outlet & Turbine inlet i.e. main steam line. The steam piping layout directly impacts the drop in pressure of the steam. The ideal condition is that the pressure require at turbine inlet should be equal to boiler super heater out let pressure. But due to various factors there is 7 to 9 Kg/cm2 pressure drop. By changing the steam piping layout pressure drop can be minimized. The slight change in pressure drop result less power require to increase the pressure of steam (i.e. Boiler feed Pump) throughout  life cycle of power plant. It means auxiliary consumption can be reduce by doing modification in steam piping layout. The change in piping layout also changes the hanger support position.

Paper Title:

Performance Analysis of Adaptive Queuing Techniques for Streaming Real-Time Video

Abstract:      Wireless communication today is a mixture of real  time traffic whic is expeced to ocuppy over 70% by 2016 [1].   The challenge lies in integrating the age old wired network with the new-born 4G networks to provide better user experience. Excessive delay is observed in the Base stations and  WiMax networks due to difference in available bandwidth between the fixed network and the wireless link. The main reason attributed to the failure in streaming of real-time video, is lack of proper buffer design, which has resulted in bufferbloat across the Internet. This increases the delay across the network eventually leading to packet loss. If QOS is configured correctly in the network, time sensitive packets get priority and playout is smooth.  Many techniques such as Active Queue Management and Controlled Delay tend to reduce the effects of bufferbloat. The random drop of packets and static value of queue size adopted in these methods do not support real-time traffic. In this paper Adaptive Controlled delay algorithm has been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the existing methods and provide a better Quality of Service for real-time video.

Paper Title:

Effect of Time Delay on Robust PID Controllers for a Transfer Function

Abstract:    A controller designed for a nominal process model generally works fine for the nominal plant model, but may fail even by a slight change in it. Robust control deals with system analysis and control design for such imperfectly known process models. Robust control has been a recent addition to the field of control engineering that primarily deals with obtaining system robustness in the presence of uncertainties. A lot of research has been done and many approaches are available for robust design of the plants. In this paper, a graphical technique introduced in [1] to find all proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers that satisfy the robust stability constraint of a given single input-single-output (SISO) linear time-invariant (LTI) system with time delay[1], is followed and effects of change of time-delay in the nominal plant model is discussed..

Biogas Production from Water Hyacinth Case of Lake Chivero - Zimbabwe A review

Abstract  The purpose of this study was to review the energy situation in Zimbabwe as well as the possibility of producing biogas from water hyacinth. Zimbabwe faces a shortage of electrical energy owing to internal generation shortfalls and the country imports all its petroleum fuels at a huge cost.The majority of people in Zimbabwe as a developing country are dependent on traditional and inefficient energy services that constrain their ability to enhance economic productivity and quality of life. The water hyacinth weed has invaded approximately all rivers, lakes and dams in Zimbabwe and government authorities are relying on research institutions to come up with solutions to deal with this invasive weed. The costs connected with elimination and maintenance control of water hyacinth are quite considerable. This study found out that the option of biogas production as a way of energy exploration using water hyacinth may not only sustain the energy availability but also improve environmental sustainability by improving the social, economic and physical well being of the environment.

Paper Title:

Harmonic Reduction in Cascaded Multilevel Inverter

Abstrac:  This paper presents method of selecting switching angles of a cascaded multilevel inverter so as to produce required fundamental voltage along with improved staircase waveform in terms of harmonics. Cascaded multilevel inverter uses number of DC sources, for k sources number of levels will be 2k+1 and leads to k number of non-linear equations to be solved. Many approaches can be made regarding the solution but this paper focuses on Specific Harmonic Elimination (SHE) technique for angle optimization. Newton-Raphson method is used and the difficulty with this method is a closed initial guess. Variation of angles with modulation index is observed and THD is calculated for selected modulation indexes and all attempts are made so as to get lowest THD. Results are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Keywords:   Cascaded multilevel inverter, SHE, Switching angles, THD.

Paper Title:

Harmonic Reduction in Cascaded Multilevel Inverter

Abstrac:   Cryptography is an imperative tool for protecting and securing data. Security provides safety and reliability. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is typically used to obtain solution for optimization and search problems. This paper presents application of GA in the field of cryptography. Key Selection in public key cryptography is a selection process in which keys can be categorized on the basis of their fitness, making GA a good candidate for key generation. Primary goals of our algorithm was to provide fast and improved performance results having practical and feasible implementation. GA correlates nature to a great extent and produce population of keys such that keys with higher fitness value is replicated often. Good Fitness function helps in exploring search space more efficiently and effectively while bad fitness function traps GA operating in local optimum solution and losing its discovery power. Pearson’s Coefficient of auto-correlation was used to calculate the fitness of keys. Ranking of keys was performed to find the best fit key. The private key generated cannot be derived from public key. The key samples satisfy gap and frequency test. Thus, purely random and non-repeating final keys were obtained by application of GA which increased the keys strength and security.

Keywords:    About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

Design and Modeling of Fuzzy Logic Based Voltage Controller for an Alternator

Abstrac:    Wide range of electrical apparatus used in industrial application require automatic voltage regulator for stability purpose. As the loud on an alternator is varied, its terminal voltage is also found to vary. This variation terminal voltage is due to voltage drop in armature and armature reaction, therefore this paper aims to design voltage regulator to maintain the terminal voltage of alternator at constant value at load condition. The armature voltage of a synchronous generator is controlled by varying the field voltage using fuzzy logic based control method. Voltage difference between the immediate output voltage and the rated voltage of the generator is used to process the rate of change of voltage error. The amount of armature voltage that has to be applied to the alternator is varied by the controller to keep the output of alternator at its rated value. The system is designed and simulated using MATLAB simulink.

Keywords: alternator, fuzzy logic controller (FLC), voltage control.

Parametric Optimization of Ball End Magneto Rheological Finishing Process on EN-31

Abstrac:   This work is concerned to explore the effect of process parameters of the ball end magnetorheologial finishing on the magnetic work piece to achieve nanofinishing. Magnetizing Current, working gap and Nozzle speed have been considered as input parameters; however percent improvement in surface roughness considered as an outcome of the process. In Present work the experiments have been carried out with above mentioned input process parameters with the help of the standard L9 orthogonal array of Taguchi .The measurement of the surface roughness is taken with the help of contact type Contact Mechanical Profiler PGI 120. Experimental data has been analyzed by using pooled anova for finding the contribution of input parameters, and further searching best input values to obtain optimal/near optimal output value. In the end a generic input-output relation has been developed using regression analysis to predict output value for newer input values.

Paper Title:

Power Quality Improvement by Suppression of Current Harmonics Using Hysteresis Controller Technique

Abstrac:  Recently wide spread of power electronic equipment has caused an increase of the harmonic disturbances in the power systems. The nonlinear loads draw harmonic and reactive power components of current from ac mains. Current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads such as adjustable speed drives, static power supplies and UPS. Thus a perfect compensator is required to avoid the consequences due to harmonics. To overcome problems due to harmonics Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) has been considered extensively. SAPF has better harmonic compensation than the other approaches used for solving the harmonic related problems. The performance of the SAPF depends upon different control strategies. This paper presents the performance analysis of SAPF under most important control strategy namely instantaneous real active and reactive power method (p-q) for extracting reference currents of shunt active filters under unbalanced load condition. Detailed simulations have been carried out considering this control strategy and adequate results were presented. These simulation results validate the significance of instantaneous real active and reactive power (p-q) control strategy in achieving an effective harmonic compensation under unbalanced load conditions. In this paper, harmonic control strategy is applied to compensate the current harmonics in the system. A detailed study about the harmonic control method has been used  using shunt active filter technique

Paper Title:

Analysis of Residual Stresses and Distortions in Girth-Welded Carbon Steel Pipe

Abstrac:   This article, the weld joint suffers various types of weld-induced residual stress fields (hoop and axial) and deformation patterns (axial shrinkage, radial shrinkage). In  this paper  Three-dimensional  finite  element  modeling  of  residual  stresses in  a girth-welded carbon steel  pipe  is  presented   with  an  emphasis  on  modeling  procedures  for  the  global  residual  stress characteristics. To precisely capture the distortions and residual stresses, computational methodology based on three-dimensional finite element model for the simulation of gas tungsten arc welding in thin-walled pipe is presented. Butt-weld geometry with single "V" for a 300 mm outer diameter cylinder of 3 mm thick is used. The complex phenomenon of arc welding is numerically solved by sequentially coupled transient, non-linear thermo-mechanical analysis. The accuracy of both the thermal and structural models is validated through experiments for temperature distribution, residual stresses and distortion. The simulated result shows close correlation with the experimental measurements.

Keywords:     FEM; welding simulations; Distortions; Residual Stresses; Girth Weld.

Paper Title:

Performance Improvement by Classification Approach for Fingerprint Identification System

Abstrac:    In the world of Information Technology, Information Security is an important factor. For Information Security, authentication plays a vital role. And for Secure Authentication now a days biometric based authentication (‘who you are’, e.g. Fingerprint) replace the Knowledge Based (‘what you know’, e.g. Password) and Object Based Authentication (‘what you have’, e.g. Token). Biometric authentication is the method which identifies or verifies the person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. The fingerprint is most widely used in biometric world. In Fingerprint Authentication different three levels (The Global or Galton level, The Local Level, The Very Fine Level) of Feature extraction techniques are used at the time of Fingerprint Identification and Verification. In Global or Galton Level identify the flow of ridges and valleys and also extract delta and core point features which classify the fingerprint in different pattern group like arch, tented arch, whorl, left loop and right loop. In tradition biometric recognition approach, the fingerprint template is match with all the template of the database. So, it will take long time for the individual’s authentication. In this paper present an approach which speed up the matching process by classifying the fingerprint template database on various fingerprint pattern group. So, instead of matching process done on whole database it will be done on specific fingerprint pattern group and reduce the no. of matches and improve the performance 3 time faster than the traditional approach.

Analysis of Self Excited Induction Generator Driven By Wind Turbine System Using Current Source Inverter Technology

Abstrac:  This paper describes the simulation model and the harmonics analysis of Current Source Inverters fed RL load. The SEIG fed PWM Current Source Inverter for variable speed wind energy conversion systems are considered for various stand-alone applications. In this paper, the SEIG fed IGBT PWM Inverter for RL load system are clearly explained with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK models. The generated voltage of wind driven self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is mainly depending on the wind velocity fluctuations, suitable capacitance magnitude and load conditions. The PWM Inverter has interface with the wind driven self-excited induction generator. The main objective of this paper is to extract maximum power from the generator to the grid connected wind energy conversion system. The variable magnitude, variable frequency voltage of the generator can be controlled by choosing the proper modulation index. The simulation analysis of the proposed inverter will be discussed and the total harmonic distortion will be evaluated.

Paper Title:

Improvement Fault-ride Through of DFIG Based Wind Turbines by Using a Series Compensation Technology with Emphasis Put on the Mitigation of Voltage Dips

Abstrac:   Low Voltage Ride Through is an important feature for wind turbine systems to fulfill grid code requirements. In case of wind turbine technologies using doubly fed induction generators the reaction to grid voltage disturbances is sensible. Hardware or software protection must be implemented to protect the converter from tripping during severe grid voltage faults. In this paper the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) solution for LVRT of DFIG wind turbines is investigated by simulation results using a detailed converter model considering the switching and appropriate 2 MW wind turbine system parameter. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method the results are compared to a conventional fault ride through of the DFIG using a crowbar circuit. Measurement results on a 22 kW laboratory DFIG test bench show the effectiveness of the proposed control technique.

Keywords:   Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), fault ride-through and wind energy.

Paper Title:

Removal of High Density Salt and Pepper Noise in Videos through MDBUTMF

Abstrac:  A modified decision based unsymmetrical trimmed median filter (MDBUTM) algorithm for the restoration of gray scale, and color video’s that are highly corrupted by salt and pepper noise is proposed in this paper. In the Transmission of Videos over channel, Video frames are corrupted by salt and pepper noise (Impulse Noise), due to faulty communication systems. The objective of this paper is to implement a better filtering technique that makes the noisy video frames to noise free video frames. The proposed algorithm replaces the noisy pixel by trimmed median value when 0’s and 255’s are present in the selected window and when all the pixel values are 0’s and 255’s then the noise pixel is replaced by mean value of all the elements present in the selected window. This proposed algorithm shows better results than the Standard Median Filter (MF), Decision Based Algorithm (DBA), Modified Decision Based Algorithm (MDBA), and Progressive Switched Median Filter (PSMF). The proposed algorithm is tested against different gray scale and color video frames and it gives better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF).

Keywords:    Median filter, salt and pepper noise, unsymmet--rical trimmed median filter.
