This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a DC/DC power converter and a new seven-level inverter. The DC/DC power converter integrates a DC-DC boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with multiple relationships. This new seven-level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a full-bridge power converter, connected in cascade. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output voltage sources of DC-DC power converter into a three-level DC voltage and the full- bridge power converter further converts this three- level DC voltage into a seven-level AC voltage. In this way, the proposed solar power generation system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the utility voltage and is fed into the utility. The salient features of the proposed seven-level inverter are that only six power electronic switches are used and only one power electronic switch is switched at high frequency at any time. A prototype is developed and tested to verify the performance of this proposed solar power generation system.

High gain dc-dc step up converters have been used in renewable energy systems, for example, photovoltaic grid connected system and fuel cell power plant to step up the low level dc voltage to a high level dc bus voltage. If the conventional boost converter is to meet this demand, it should be operated at an extreme duty cycle (duty cycle closes to unity), which will cause electromagnetic interference, reverse recovery problem and conduction loss at the power switches. This paper proposes a class of non-isolated dc-dc step up converters which provide very high voltage gain at a small duty cycle (duty cycle < 0.5). Firstly, the converter topologies are derived based on active switched inductor network and combination of active and passive switched inductor networks; secondly, the modes of operation of proposed active switched inductor converter and combined active and passive switched inductor converter are illustrated; thirdly, the performance of the proposed converters are analyzed mathematically in details and compared with conventional boost converter. Finally, the analysis is verified by simulation results.

Large electric drives and utility applications require advanced power electronics converter to meet
the high power demands. As a result, power converter structure has been introduced as an alternative in high
power and medium voltage situations using Renewable energy sources (RES). This paper describes a new
DC/DC converter with safety, high efficiency and high step up capabilities. This converter is best suited for
Wind/Fuel cell(FC)based Induction Motor applications for pumping systems. The safety feature of this

high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio and low voltage stress on the power switches. Also, the
energy stored in the leakage inductor of the coupled inductor can be recycled to the output. The maximum
output voltage is determined by the number of the capacitors. The capacitors are charged in parallel and are
discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. Thus, the proposed converter can

A Three Phase Multi Level Converter for grid Connected PV SystemIAES-IJPEDS
Photovoltaic energy is a wide kind of green energy. A high performance on these systems is needed to make the most of energy produced by solar cells. Also, there must be a constant adaptation due to the continuous variation of power production. Control techniques for Power Converters like the MPPT algorithm (Maximum Power Point Tracking) present very good results on photovoltaic chains. Nevertheless, losses on power elements reduce global performance and the voltage/current adaptation is not always possible. This paper presents a single-phase 11-level (5 H-bridges) cascade multilevel DC- AC grid-tied inverter. Each inverter bridge is connected to a 200 W solar panel. OPAL-RT lab was used as the hardware in the loop (HIL) real-time control system platform where a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm was implemented based on the inverter output power to assure optimal operation of the inverter when connected to the power grid as well as a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) for phase and frequency match. A novel SPWM scheme is proposed in this paper to be used with the solar panels that can account for voltage profile fluctuations among the panels during the day. Simulation and experimental results are shown for voltage and current during synchronization mode and power transferring mode to validate the methodology for grid connection of renewable resources.

proposed converter has higher step-up and step-down voltage gains than the conventional bidirectional dc–dc
boost/buck converter. Under same electric specifications for the proposed converter and the conventional
bidirectional boost/buck converter, the average value of the switch current in the proposed converter is less than
the conventional bidirectional boost/buck converter. The operating principles have been applied to multi input

The real problems in diminution of power quality occurs due to the rapid growth of nonlinear load are leads to sudden decrease of source voltage for a few seconds i.e sag, swell, harmonics in source and load current, voltage unbalance etc. All these problems can be compensated by using Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) and the operation of UPQC depends upon the available voltage across capacitor present in dc link. If the capacitor voltage is maintained constant then it gives satisfactory performance. The proposed research is basically on designing of Photo Voltaic (PV) /Wind energy fed to the dc link capacitor of UPQC so as to maintain proper voltage across it and operate the UPQC for power quality analysis. The said model is simulated in Matlab and results are verified by using FFT analysis.The proposed PV/ Wind energy-UPQC is design in Matlab simulation for reduction of voltage sag, swell, interruption of voltage, harmonics in load current and compensation of active and reactive power.

An unmanned aerial vehicle was used as a mobile sensor platform to collect sea-ice features, and several
image processing algorithms have been applied to samples of sea-ice images to extract useful information
about sea ice. The sea-ice statistics given by the floe size distribution, being an important parameter for
climate and wave- and structure-ice analysis, is challenging to calculate due to difficulties in ice floe
identification, particularly the separation of seemingly connected ice floes. In this paper, the gradient vector
flow snake algorithm is applied to solve this problem. To evolve the GVF snake algorithm automatically, an
initialization based on the distance transform is proposed to detect individual ice floes, and the morphological
cleaning is afterward applied to smoothen the shape of each identified ice floe. Based on the identification
result, the image is separated into four different layers: ice floes, brash pieces, slush, and water. This makes
it further possible to present a color map of the ice floes and brash pieces based on sizes, and the
corresponding ice floe size distribution histogram. The proposed algorithm yields an acceptable identification

Traditionally, in paper based election,voters cast their vote to select right candidate, where they simply put their vote in voting box and at the end of the voting day the votes are going to be count manually. This process was much time consuming as well as was erroneous. To overcome this drawback Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) was introduced. In EVM, Voter cast their vote by pressing the voting button which was on EVM. The Major advantage of EVM system is , the votes are counted automatically instead of manually. But the drawback of EVM machine was, the votes may get manipulated and was not secure. So to overcome all these drawbacks, research on biometric based voting system is going on. This Paper focuses on survey of different voting system using Fingerprint biometric through different algorithms and methods.

Effective Identification of Packet Droppers and Modifiers in Wireless Sensor ...IJMTST Journal
In Wireless sensor network, sensor nodes are used to monitor physical or environmental condition. Sensor
networks are often deployed in an unattended and hostile environment to perform the monitoring and data
collection tasks. When it is deployed in such an environment, it lacks physical protection and subjected to
node compromise. After compromising one or multiple sensor nodes, an adversary may launch various
attacks to disrupt the in-network communication. Among these attacks, two common ones are dropping
packets and modifying packet. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective scheme to identify
misbehaving forwarders that drop or modify packets. Node Categorization algorithm and Global Ranking

Traditionally, in paper based election,voters cast their vote to select right candidate, where they simply put their vote in voting box and at the end of the voting day the votes are going to be count manually. This process was much time consuming as well as was erroneous. To overcome this drawback Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) was introduced. In EVM, Voter cast their vote by pressing the voting button which was on EVM. The Major advantage of EVM system is , the votes are counted automatically instead of manually. But the drawback of EVM machine was, the votes may get manipulated and was not secure. So to overcome all these drawbacks, research on biometric based voting system is going on. This Paper focuses on survey of different voting system using Fingerprint biometric through different algorithms and methods.
SPCHS Construction for Expeditious Keyword Search in Cipher TextIJMTST Journal
The subsisting public-key encryption schemes which are semantically secure, take linear search time with
the total number of cipher texts, thus making data retrieval from databases arduous or time consuming. So,
in order to rectify the current quandary, the paper proposes SPCHS Methodology for Expeditious Keyword
Search. In Searchable Public Key Cipher texts with Obnubilated Structures (SPCHS), the concept of
obnubilated structures is introduced. Here, the concept of filtering is utilized efficiently. This in turn, makes
data retrieval from sizably voluminous scale databases far more facile by reducing the time intricacy as well
as ensuring efficient performance. The time involution of our scheme depends only on the genuine number of
engendered cipher texts rather than all the number of cipher texts. Given a keyword for a file search,
predicated on the filtering mechanism we designate the file extension or type which has to be returned thus
ruling out all the other possibilities which not only makes probing more facile but withal preserves time
involution. This article gives an overview about SPCHS Mechanism and the sundry methods adopted.

Artificial Neural Network Based Closed Loop Control of Multilevel InverterIJMTST Journal
Multi level inverters are gaining attraction because of the inherent advantages like low switching losses and less voltage stress which results in low filter cost. The common techniques that are available for switching the multi level inverters are based on sinusoidal pulse width modulation and using conventional PI based controllers, hysteresis based controllers. These controllers suffer with slow response time this makes usage of multi level inverters in custom power devices difficult. Because custom power devices require fast acting controller action which can be achieved by intelligent controllers. In this project artificial neural network based modulation scheme is designed and implemented for a cascaded H bridge inverter. The response time of controller for different operating power factors of the load are compared with conventional PI controllers and are presented. The developed control technique is developed by using Sim Power Systems Block set of MATLAB/SIMULINK Release R2015a.
In this paper the multicarrier pulse width modulation (MCPWM) with multi value DC voltage source multilevel inverter is presented. These MLI’s are suitable in high voltage & high power application due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonic spectrum. Seven level inverter is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. The use of Photovoltaic Cell as a DC source for the multilevel Inverter is proposed here.
Optimal Placement and Sizing of Capacitor and Distributed Generator in Radial...IJMTST Journal
Distribution Systems are growing large and being stretched too far, leading to higher system losses and
poor voltage regulation, the need for an efficient and effective distribution system has therefore become more
urgent and important. A distribution system connects consumers to the high-voltage transmission system.
Because of lower voltage, and hence higher current, the I2R loss in a distribution system is significantly high
compared to that in a high-voltage transmission system. The pressure of improving the overall efficiency of
power delivery has forced the power utilities to reduce the loss, especially at the distribution level. Loss
reduction initiatives in distribution systems have been activated due to the increasing cost of supplying
electricity, the shortage in fuel with ever-increasing cost to produce more power, and the global warming
concerns. The total system loss can be decreased by installing capacitor bank and distributed generation.
These two methods can also help maintaining the level of voltage and maintenance power factor. The direct
search algorithm is applied to minimize the loss in radial distribution systems.

Implementation of a Voltage Multiplier based on High Step-up Converter using FLCIJMTST Journal
A Front end of the Photovoltaic Solar Panel is been proposed based on Step-Up Converter. The use of
distributed energy resources is increasingly being pursued as a supplement and an alternative to large
conventional central power stations. The specification of a power electronic interface is subject to
requirements related not only to the renewable energy source itself but also to its effects on the power-system
operation, especially where the intermittent energy source constitutes a significant part of the total system
capacity. Implementing a voltage multiplier module, an asymmetrical interleaved high step-up converter
obtains high step-up gain without operating at an extreme duty ratio. The voltage multiplier module is
composed of a conventional boost converter and coupled inductors. An extra conventional boost converter is
integrated into the first phase to achieve a considerably higher voltage conversion ratio. The two-phase
configuration not only reduces the current stress through each power switch, but also constrains the input
current ripple, which decreases the conduction losses of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors.
In addition, the proposed converter functions as an active clamp circuit, which alleviates large voltage spikes
across the power switches. Finally, the simulation circuitry with a 40V input voltage and 230V output voltage
is operated to verify its performance analysis with respect to the Fuzzy Logic Controller. The highest
efficiency is 97.75%.
A Three Phase D-STATCOM to Compensate AC and DC loads by using Fuzzy Logic DC...IJMTST Journal
A Fuzzy Logic control the transient response of the distribution static compensator (D-STATCOM) is very
important while compensating rapidly varying unbalanced and nonlinear loads. Any change in the load
affects the dc-link voltage directly. The sudden removal of load would result in an increase in the dc-link
voltage above the reference value; where as a sudden increase in load would reduce the dc-link voltage
below its reference value. The proper operation of D-STATCOM requires variation of the dc-link voltage within
the prescribed limits. Conventionally, a proportional integral (PI) controller is used to maintain the dc-link
voltage to the reference value. A Fuzzy Logic controls the transient response of the distribution static
compensator (D-STATCOM) is very important while compensating rapidly varying unbalanced and nonlinear
loads. It uses deviation of the capacitor voltage from its reference value as its input. However, the transient
response of the conventional PI dc-link voltage controller is slow. In this paper, a fast-acting dc-link voltage
controller based on the energy of a dc-link capacitor is proposed. Mathematical equations are given to
compute the gains of the conventional controller based on fast-acting dc-link voltage controllers to achieve
similar fast transient response. The detailed simulation and experimental studies are carried out to validate
the proposed controller.

Modulated Integrated Converter systems are considered to be the new and global turning point in the field of
Solar PV systems. These converters are highly recognised for its modular size and compact nature and they are supposed to
be attached directly with each PV module and since one PV module is having the power rating of a few watts ranging from

The harmonics in the inverter is eliminated by using the fuzzy logic controller. The gate pulse for the multilevel inverter is given by the fuzzy logic controller which in turn reduces the harmonics in the inverter. Then the inverter output is connected to the grid are some application.

Photovoltaic technology is one of the most promising for distributed low power generation. Its ability to produce power by directly converting solar energy has led to tremendous surge in its demand. The Photovoltaic output DC is fed to the boost converter to step up the voltage. The use of multilevel inverters have become popular in recent years for high power applications and an effective and practical solution for increasing power and reducing harmonics of AC waveforms. So, here a five level multilevel inverter is used for generating AC voltage from five levels of DC voltages and enhance the performance of the system.

The simulation results for the proposed system are verified using Mat lab / Simulink. The TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) for Diode Clamped multi-level inverter is compared with the three phase inverter and it can be observed that in the higher levels the THD is reduced.
Design and Development of Power Electronic Controller for Grid-connected PV A...IJAPEJOURNAL
Design and simulation of a simple power electronic interface for grid-connected PV array has been proposed using boost converter and line-commutated inverter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The output of PV array varies with irradiation, and hence the duty cycle of the PI controller is adjusted automatically to supply a constant DC voltage to the inverter circuit, the output of which is directly connected to the grid. The MPPT controller extracts maximum power from the solar array and feeds it to the single-phase utility grid. The proposed scheme has been modeled in the MATLAB 7.1 software and the complete system has been simulated for open loop and closed loop configurations. The active power fed to the grid is taken for different firing angles in open loop mode and the firing angle for maximum power has been determined. This is compared with the firing angle obtained from the closed loop mode and found that both results agree with each other.

5. a new multi level inverter topology of pv systems for grid interconnectionk srikanth
Renewable energy sources (RES) gain an importance in recent decades because they are pollution free, easily erectable, and limitless. Among RES, Photovoltaic systems are mostly used as they are light, clean and easily installable. Normally PV cells converts sunlight into electricity in the form of dc. A suitable converter is usually needed to convert the dc power into ac power, which is then injecting into the power grid. The Multilevel Inverters [MLI] can be used to convert the dc into ac for integration of renewable energy sources into the conventional grids. But the conventional MLIs such as Diode Clamped MLIs requires extra diodes in conjunction with the active switches, Flying capacitor MLIs requires extra Capacitors and control also difficult if the levels increases and the Cascaded H-bridge MLIs requires separate dc sources which limits its use. This paper proposes a new type of multi level Inverter which converts the dc into ac using less number of switches when compared to conventional multilevel Inverters. The proposed Inverter can be used to integrate the Photovoltaic system into Grid, with satisfying the grid requirements such as phase angle, frequency and amplitude of the Grid voltage. Seven level and thirteen level proposed MLI is simulated using Matlab/Simulink environment and the corresponding results are presented in this paper.
This paper presents a circuit configuration of five-level PWM voltage-source inverter developed from the three-level H-bridge inverter using only a single DC input power source. In the proposed five-level inverter, an auxiliary circuits working as the voltage balancing circuits of the inverter’s DC capacitors is presented. The auxiliary circuits work to keep stable DC capacitor voltages of the inverter, and also to reduce the capacitor size of the inverter. The unique point of the proposed balancing circuits is that it needs only a single voltage sensor to control the voltages of the two capacitors in the inverter. Moreover, a minimum number the inverter’s switching devices is also an important feature of the proposed inverter topology. A simple proportional integral controller is applied to control the voltage of the DC capacitors. The proposed topology is tested through computer simulation using PSIM software. Laboratory experimental tests were also conducted to verify the proposed inverter circuits. The computer simulation and experimental test results showed that the proposed balancing circuits works properly keeping stable voltages across the two DC capacitors of the inverter using only a single voltage sensor. The inverter also works well to synthesize a five-level PWM voltage waveform with sinusoidal load current.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Filter Based a Solar Power Generation System with a Seven Level Inverter
between the voltages of the DC capacitors, the
capacitor selection circuit outputs a three-level DC
voltage. The full-bridge power converter further
converts this three-level DC voltage to a
seven-level AC voltage that issynchronized with
the utility voltage. In this way, the proposed solar
power generation system.
Figure 1: Matlab simulink main diagram
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
As seen in Fig. 1, the DC-DC power
converter incorporates a boost converter and
a current-fed forward converter. The boost
converter is composed of an inductor, LD, a power
electronic switch, SD1, and a diode, DD3. The boost
converter charges capacitor C2 of the seven-level
inverter. The current-fed forward converter is
composed of an inductor, LD, power electronic
switches, SD1 and SD2, a transformer and
diodes, DD and DD2. The current-fed forward
converter charges capacitor C1 of the
seven-level inverter. The inductor, LD, and the
power electronic switch, SD1, of the current-fed
forward converter are also used in the boost
converter.
Figure1 shows the operating circuit of the
DC-DC power converter when SD1 is turned on.
The solar cell array supplies energy to the inductor
LD. When SD1 is turned off and SD2 is turned on,
its operating circuit is shown in Fig.1.
Accordingly, capacitor C1 isconnected to
capacitor C2 in parallel through the
transformer, so the energy of inductor LD and the
solar cell array charge capacitor C2 through
DD3 and charge capacitor C1 through the
transformer and DD1 during the off-state of SD1.
Since capacitors C1 and C2 are charged in parallel
by using the transformer, the voltage ratio of
capacitors C1 and C2 is the same asthe turn ratio
(2:1) of the transformer.
Securely determining own location.
In mobile environments, self-localization is
mainly achieved through Global Navigation
Satellite Systems, e.g., GPS, whose security can be
provided by cryptographic and noncryptographic
defense mechanisms. Alternatively, errestrial specia
lpurpose infrastructure could be used along
with techniques to deal with non honest beacons.
We remark that this problem is orthogonal to the
problem of NPV. In the rest of this paper, we will
assume that devices employ one of the techniques
above to securely determine their own position and
time reference.
IV. SEVEN LEVEL INVERTER
As seen in Fig. 1, the seven-level inverter is
composed of a capacitor selection circuit and a
full-bridge power converter, which are connected
in cascade. Operation of the seven-level inverter
can be divided into the positive half cycle and
the negative half cycle of the utility. For ease of
analysis, the power electronic switches and
diodes are assumed to be ideal, while the voltages
of both capacitors C1 and C2 in the capacitor
selection circuit are constant and equal to Vdc/3
and 2Vdc/3, respectively.
Since the output current of the solar power
generation system will be controlled to be
sinusoidal and in phase with the utility voltage, the
output current of the seven- level inverter is also
positive in the positive half cycle of the utility. The
operation of the seven-level inverter in the positive
half cycle of the utility can be further divided into
four modes, as shown in Fig.3.
V. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
To verify the performance of the proposed solar
power generation system, a prototype was
developed with a controller based on the DSP chip
TMS320F28035. The power rating of the
prototype is 500W, and the prototype was used
for a single-phase utility with 110V and 60Hz.

VI. CONCLUSION
This paper proposes a solar power generation
system to convert the DC energy generated by a
solar cell array into AC energy that is fed into the
utility. The proposed solar power generation
system is composed of a DC/DC power converter
and a seven-level inverter. The seven-level inverter
contains only six power electronic switches, which
simplifies the circuit configuration. Furthermore,
only one power electronic switch is switched at
high frequency at any time to generate the
seven-level output voltage. This reduces the
switching power loss and improves the power
efficiency. The voltages of the two DC capacitors in
the proposed sevenlevel inverter are balanced
automatically, so the control circuit is simplified.
Experimental results show that the proposed solar
power generation system generates a sevenlevel
output voltage and outputs a sinusoidal current
that is in phase with the utility voltage, yielding a
power factor of unity. In addition, the proposed
solar power generation system can effectively trace
the maximum power of solar cell array
onclusion section is not required. Although a
conclusion may review the main points of the
paper, do not replicate the abstract as the
conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the
importance of the work or suggest applications and
extensions.
