The current rapid growth in IoT technology facilitates the effortless implementation of bidirectional
remote monitoring and control system implementation in homes and buildings. We have modeled an actual
non-intrusive PnP sequential SVC prototype hardware and wireless FLC automation software design on a
real single phase home appliances system as load modeling. In addition, we have also designed a novel
Unidirectional MOSFET Switched Capasitor model (UniMosSC) which enables us to reduce the hardware
cost and increase the life span of SVC due it uses minimum switching devices. The system we have
designed is able to correct the power factor at the root of the problem at each appliance. Due to complexity
of appliance clustering and overlapping clusters, we implemented fuzziness in the system for more
reliability in computations. The system could be used in homes or buildings resulting in electricity bill
reduction, saving dollars and cents.
Design of 10 to 12 GHz Low Noise Amplifier for Ultrawideband (UWB) SystemIJECEIAES
Balanced amplifier is the structure proposed in this article, it provides better performance. In fact, the single amplifier meets the specification for noise figure and gain but fails to meet the return loss specification due to the large mis-matches on the input & outputs. To overcome this problem one solution is to use balanced amplifier topography. In this paper, a wide-band and highgain microwave balanced amplifier constituted with branch line coupler circuit is proposed. The amplifier is unconditionally stable in the band [9-13] GHz where the gain is about 20dB. The input reflection (S11) and output return loss (S22) at 11 GHz are -33.4dB and -33.5dB respectively.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ANALOG MULTIPLIER WITH IMPROVED LINEARITY VLSICS Design
Analog multipliers are used for frequency conversion and are critical components in modern radio frequency (RF) systems. RF systems must process analog signals with a wide dynamic range at high frequencies. A mixer converts RF power at one frequency into power at another frequency to make signal processing easier and also inexpensive. A fundamental reason for frequency conversion is to allow amplification of the received signal at a frequency other than the RF, or the audio, frequency. This paper deals with two such multipliers using MOSFETs which can be used in communication systems. They were designed and implemented using 0.5 micron CMOS process. The two multipliers were characterized for power consumption, linearity, noise and harmonic distortion. The initial circuit simulated is a basic Gilbert cell whose gain is fairly high but shows more power consumption and high total harmonic distortion. Our paper aims in reducing both power consumption and total harmonic distortion. The second multiplier is a new architecture that consumes 43.07 percent less power and shows 22.69 percent less total harmonic distortion when compared to the basic Gilbert cell. The common centroid layouts of both the circuits have also been developed.
This paper investigates about the possibility to reduce power consumption in Neural Network using approximated computing techniques. Authors compare a traditional fixed-point neuron with an approximated neuron composed of approximated multipliers and adder. Experiments show that in the proposed case of study (a wine classifier) the approximated neuron allows to save up to the 43% of the area, a power consumption saving of 35% and an improvement in the maximum clock frequency of 20%.

Energy harvesting from ambient radio-frequency (RF) sources has been a novel approach for extending the lifetime of wireless networks. In this paper, a cooperative device-to-device (D2D) system with the aid of energy-constrained relay is considered. The relays are assumed to be able to harvest energy from information signal and co-channel interference (CCI) signals broadcasted by nearby traditional cellular users and forward the source’s signal to its desired destination (D2D user) utilizing amplify-andforward (AF) relaying protocol. Time switching protocol (TSR) and power splitting protocol (PSR) are proposed to assist energy harvesting and information processing at the relay. The proposed approaches are applied in a model with three nodes including the source (D2D user), the relay and the destination (D2D user), the system throughput is investigated in terms of the ergodic capacity and the outage capacity, where the analytical results are obtained approximately. Our numerical results verify the our derivations, and also points out the impact of CCI on system performance. Finally, this investigation provide fundamental design guidelines for selecting hardware of energy harvesting circuits that satisfies the requirements of a practical cooperative D2D system.

Power-Grid Load Balancing by Using Smart Home AppliancesValerio Aisa
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet, and can be mitigated by increasing the efficiency of the electric power generation and distribution system. Dynamic demand control is a low-cost technology that fosters better load balancing of the electricity grid, and thus enable savings on CO2 emissions at power plants. This paper discusses a practical and inexpensive solution for the implementation of dynamic demand control, based on a dedicated peripheral for a general-purpose microcontroller. Pre-production test of the peripheral has been carried out by emulating the actual microprocessor. Simulations have been carried out, to investigate actual efficacy of the proposed approach.
Now a days there is a widespread use of semiconductor devices, which are mostly implemented as the power switches for converters and inverters. These converters and inverters play a vital role in power systems both in transmission and distribution systems. This provides a way for the introduction of harmonics in the power system which leads to poor power quality. To overcome this many solutions have been suggested by the research community but each solution holds its own merits and demerits. Of all these suggested solutions, the Dynamic Voltage Restorer is one of the most cost effective systems for various power quality issues. In this paper the DVR is considered for enhancing the power quality by reducing the harmonics generated because of sensitive loads. Here the power quality is enhanced by controlling the DVR using Neural Network Controller which is trained by Levenberg Marquardt algorithm. In this paper the THD analysis of the voltage quantity is analysed by introducing an unbalanced three phase fault in the system. The simulation is done by using MATLAB/Simulink. From the results, it is verified that the harmonics are reduced by the NN controlled DVR unit. Also the simulation results are verified with the hardware results.

A hybrid approach for ipfc location and parameters optimization for congestio...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The deregulated power system operation with competitive electricity market environment has been created many challenging tasks to the system operator. The competition with strategic bidding has been resulted for randomness in generation schedule, load withdrawal and power flows across the network. The economic efficiency of electricity market is mainly dependent on network support. In the event of congestion, it is required to alter the base case market settlement and hence the economic inefficiency in terms of congestion cost can occur. In order to anticipate congestion and its consequences in operation, this paper has been considered Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC).This article proposed a tactical approach for optimal location and then its parameters in Decoupled Power Injection Modeling (DPIM) are optimized using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). The case studies are performed on IEEE 30-bus test system and the results obtained are validating the proposed approach for practical implementations.
Keywords: Deregulated power system, competitive electricity market, congestion management, IPFC, Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA)

Design and Analysis of Sequential Circuit for Leakage Power Reduction using S...ijsrd.com
The rapid growth in semiconductor device industry has led to the development of high Performance potable systems with improve reliability. In such applications, it is extremely important to minimize current consumption due to the limited availability of battery Power. Consequently, power dissipation is becoming recognized as a top priority issue for VLSI circuit design. Leakage power makes up to 50% of the total power consumption in today's high performance microprocessors. Therefore leakage power reduction becomes the key to a low power design. Leakage power dissipation is the power dissipated by the circuit when it is in Sleep mode or standby mode. A significant portion of the total power consumption in high performance digital circuits in deep submicron regime is mainly due to leakage power. Leakage is the only Source. of power consumption in an idle circuit. Therefore it is important to reduce leakage power in portable system.

Amazon products reviews classification based on machine learning, deep learni...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In recent times, the trend of online shopping through e-commerce stores and websites has grown to a huge extent. Whenever a product is purchased on an e-commerce platform, people leave their reviews about the product. These reviews are very helpful for the store owners and the product’s manufacturers for the betterment of their work process as well as product quality. An automated system is proposed in this work that operates on two datasets D1 and D2 obtained from Amazon. After certain preprocessing steps, N-gram and word embedding-based features are extracted using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), bag of words (BoW) and global vectors (GloVe), and Word2vec, respectively. Four machine learning (ML) models support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (RF), logistic regression (LR), multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), two deep learning (DL) models convolutional neural network (CNN), long-short term memory (LSTM), and standalone bidirectional encoder representations (BERT) are used to classify reviews as either positive or negative. The results obtained by the standard ML, DL models and BERT are evaluated using certain performance evaluation measures. BERT turns out to be the best-performing model in the case of D1 with an accuracy of 90% on features derived by word embedding models while the CNN provides the best accuracy of 97% upon word embedding features in the case of D2. The proposed model shows better overall performance on D2 as compared to D1.
Design, simulation, and analysis of microstrip patch antenna for wireless app...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this study, a microstrip patch antenna that works at 3.6 GHz was built and tested to see how well it works. In this work, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 has been used as the substrate material, with a dielectric permittivity of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.3451 mm; it serves as the base for the examined antenna. The computer simulation technology (CST) studio suite is utilized to show the recommended antenna design. The goal of this study was to get a more extensive transmission capacity, a lower voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and a lower return loss, but the main goal was to get a higher gain, directivity, and efficiency. After simulation, the return loss, gain, directivity, bandwidth, and efficiency of the supplied antenna are found to be -17.626 dB, 9.671 dBi, 9.924 dBi, 0.2 GHz, and 97.45%, respectively. Besides, the recreation uncovered that the transfer speed side-lobe level at phi was much better than those of the earlier works, at -28.8 dB, respectively. Thus, it makes a solid contender for remote innovation and more robust communication.

In this paper, snake optimization algorithm (SOA) is used to find the optimal gains of an enhanced controller for controlling congestion problem in computer networks. M-file and Simulink platform is adopted to evaluate the response of the active queue management (AQM) system, a comparison with two classical controllers is done, all tuned gains of controllers are obtained using SOA method and the fitness function chose to monitor the system performance is the integral time absolute error (ITAE). Transient analysis and robust analysis is used to show the proposed controller performance, two robustness tests are applied to the AQM system, one is done by varying the size of queue value in different period and the other test is done by changing the number of transmission control protocol (TCP) sessions with a value of ± 20% from its original value. The simulation results reflect a stable and robust behavior and best performance is appeared clearly to achieve the desired queue size without any noise or any transmission problems.
Improving the detection of intrusion in vehicular ad-hoc networks with modifi...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless-equipped vehicles that form networks along the road. The security of this network has been a major challenge. The identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) previously used to secure the networks suffers from membership authentication security features. This paper focuses on improving the detection of intruders in VANETs with a modified identity-based cryptosystem (MIBC). The MIBC is developed using a non-singular elliptic curve with Lagrange interpolation. The public key of vehicles and roadside units on the network are derived from number plates and location identification numbers, respectively. Pseudo-identities are used to mask the real identity of users to preserve their privacy. The membership authentication mechanism ensures that only valid and authenticated members of the network are allowed to join the network. The performance of the MIBC is evaluated using intrusion detection ratio (IDR) and computation time (CT) and then validated with the existing IBC. The result obtained shows that the MIBC recorded an IDR of 99.3% against 94.3% obtained for the existing identity-based cryptosystem (EIBC) for 140 unregistered vehicles attempting to intrude on the network. The MIBC shows lower CT values of 1.17 ms against 1.70 ms for EIBC. The MIBC can be used to improve the security of VANETs.
Conceptual model of internet banking adoption with perceived risk and trust f...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Understanding the primary factors of internet banking (IB) acceptance is critical for both banks and users; nevertheless, our knowledge of the role of users’ perceived risk and trust in IB adoption is limited. As a result, we develop a conceptual model by incorporating perceived risk and trust into the technology acceptance model (TAM) theory toward the IB. The proper research emphasized that the most essential component in explaining IB adoption behavior is behavioral intention to use IB adoption. TAM is helpful for figuring out how elements that affect IB adoption are connected to one another. According to previous literature on IB and the use of such technology in Iraq, one has to choose a theoretical foundation that may justify the acceptance of IB from the customer’s perspective. The conceptual model was therefore constructed using the TAM as a foundation. Furthermore, perceived risk and trust were added to the TAM dimensions as external factors. The key objective of this work was to extend the TAM to construct a conceptual model for IB adoption and to get sufficient theoretical support from the existing literature for the essential elements and their relationships in order to unearth new insights about factors responsible for IB adoption.
Efficient combined fuzzy logic and LMS algorithm for smart antennaTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The smart antennas are broadly used in wireless communication. The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is a procedure that is concerned in controlling the smart antenna pattern to accommodate specified requirements such as steering the beam toward the desired signal, in addition to placing the deep nulls in the direction of unwanted signals. The conventional LMS (C-LMS) has some drawbacks like slow convergence speed besides high steady state fluctuation error. To overcome these shortcomings, the present paper adopts an adaptive fuzzy control step size least mean square (FC-LMS) algorithm to adjust its step size. Computer simulation outcomes illustrate that the given model has fast convergence rate as well as low mean square error steady state.
Design and implementation of a LoRa-based system for warning of forest fireTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents the design and implementation of a forest fire monitoring and warning system based on long range (LoRa) technology, a novel ultra-low power consumption and long-range wireless communication technology for remote sensing applications. The proposed system includes a wireless sensor network that records environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the air, as well as taking infrared photos.The data collected at each sensor node will be transmitted to the gateway via LoRa wireless transmission. Data will be collected, processed, and uploaded to a cloud database at the gateway. An Android smartphone application that allows anyone to easily view the recorded data has been developed. When a fire is detected, the system will sound a siren and send a warning message to the responsible personnel, instructing them to take appropriate action. Experiments in Tram Chim Park, Vietnam, have been conducted to verify and evaluate the operation of the system.
Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.
A novel compact dual-band bandstop filter with enhanced rejection bandsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, we present the design of a new wide dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) using nonuniform transmission lines. The method used to design this filter is to replace conventional uniform transmission lines with nonuniform lines governed by a truncated Fourier series. Based on how impedances are profiled in the proposed DBBSF structure, the fractional bandwidths of the two 10 dB-down rejection bands are widened to 39.72% and 52.63%, respectively, and the physical size has been reduced compared to that of the filter with the uniform transmission lines. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) simulation support the obtained analytical response and show an improved frequency behavior.
Deep learning approach to DDoS attack with imbalanced data at the application...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is where one or more computers attack or target a server computer, by flooding internet traffic to the server. As a result, the server cannot be accessed by legitimate users. A result of this attack causes enormous losses for a company because it can reduce the level of user trust, and reduce the company’s reputation to lose customers due to downtime. One of the services at the application layer that can be accessed by users is a web-based lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service that can provide safe and easy services to access directory applications. We used a deep learning approach to detect DDoS attacks on the CICDDoS 2019 dataset on a complex computer network at the application layer to get fast and accurate results for dealing with unbalanced data. Based on the results obtained, it is observed that DDoS attack detection using a deep learning approach on imbalanced data performs better when implemented using synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method for binary classes. On the other hand, the proposed deep learning approach performs better for detecting DDoS attacks in multiclass when implemented using the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) method.
The appearance of uncertainties and disturbances often effects the characteristics of either linear or nonlinear systems. Plus, the stabilization process may be deteriorated thus incurring a catastrophic effect to the system performance. As such, this manuscript addresses the concept of matching condition for the systems that are suffering from miss-match uncertainties and exogeneous disturbances. The perturbation towards the system at hand is assumed to be known and unbounded. To reach this outcome, uncertainties and their classifications are reviewed thoroughly. The structural matching condition is proposed and tabulated in the proposition 1. Two types of mathematical expressions are presented to distinguish the system with matched uncertainty and the system with miss-matched uncertainty. Lastly, two-dimensional numerical expressions are provided to practice the proposed proposition. The outcome shows that matching condition has the ability to change the system to a design-friendly model for asymptotic stabilization.
Implementation of FinFET technology based low power 4×4 Wallace tree multipli...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Many systems, including digital signal processors, finite impulse response (FIR) filters, application-specific integrated circuits, and microprocessors, use multipliers. The demand for low power multipliers is gradually rising day by day in the current technological trend. In this study, we describe a 4×4 Wallace multiplier based on a carry select adder (CSA) that uses less power and has a better power delay product than existing multipliers. HSPICE tool at 16 nm technology is used to simulate the results. In comparison to the traditional CSA-based multiplier, which has a power consumption of 1.7 µW and power delay product (PDP) of 57.3 fJ, the results demonstrate that the Wallace multiplier design employing CSA with first zero finding logic (FZF) logic has the lowest power consumption of 1.4 µW and PDP of 27.5 fJ.
Evaluation of the weighted-overlap add model with massive MIMO in a 5G systemTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The flaw in 5G orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) becomes apparent in high-speed situations. Because the doppler effect causes frequency shifts, the orthogonality of OFDM subcarriers is broken, lowering both their bit error rate (BER) and throughput output. As part of this research, we use a novel design that combines massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and weighted overlap and add (WOLA) to improve the performance of 5G systems. To determine which design is superior, throughput and BER are calculated for both the proposed design and OFDM. The results of the improved system show a massive improvement in performance ver the conventional system and significant improvements with massive MIMO, including the best throughput and BER. When compared to conventional systems, the improved system has a throughput that is around 22% higher and the best performance in terms of BER, but it still has around 25% less error than OFDM.

In this study, it is aimed to obtain two different asymmetric radiation patterns obtained from antennas in the shape of the cross-section of a parabolic reflector (fan blade type antennas) and antennas with cosecant-square radiation characteristics at two different frequencies from a single antenna. For this purpose, firstly, a fan blade type antenna design will be made, and then the reflective surface of this antenna will be completed to the shape of the reflective surface of the antenna with the cosecant-square radiation characteristic with the frequency selective surface designed to provide the characteristics suitable for the purpose. The frequency selective surface designed and it provides the perfect transmission as possible at 4 GHz operating frequency, while it will act as a band-quenching filter for electromagnetic waves at 5 GHz operating frequency and will be a reflective surface. Thanks to this frequency selective surface to be used as a reflective surface in the antenna, a fan blade type radiation characteristic at 4 GHz operating frequency will be obtained, while a cosecant-square radiation characteristic at 5 GHz operating frequency will be obtained.
Reagentless iron detection in water based on unclad fiber optical sensorTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A simple and low-cost fiber based optical sensor for iron detection is demonstrated in this paper. The sensor head consist of an unclad optical fiber with the unclad length of 1 cm and it has a straight structure. Results obtained shows a linear relationship between the output light intensity and iron concentration, illustrating the functionality of this iron optical sensor. Based on the experimental results, the sensitivity and linearity are achieved at 0.0328/ppm and 0.9824 respectively at the wavelength of 690 nm. With the same wavelength, other performance parameters are also studied. Resolution and limit of detection (LOD) are found to be 0.3049 ppm and 0.0755 ppm correspondingly. This iron sensor is advantageous in that it does not require any reagent for detection, enabling it to be simpler and cost-effective in the implementation of the iron sensing.
Impact of CuS counter electrode calcination temperature on quantum dot sensit...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In place of the commercial Pt electrode used in quantum sensitized solar cells, the low-cost CuS cathode is created using electrophoresis. High resolution scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structure and morphology of structural cubic samples with diameters ranging from 40 nm to 200 nm. The conversion efficiency of solar cells is significantly impacted by the calcination temperatures of cathodes at 100 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C under vacuum. The fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)/CuS cathode electrode reached a maximum efficiency of 3.89% when it was calcined at 120 °C. Compared to other temperature combinations, CuS nanoparticles crystallize at 120 °C, which lowers resistance while increasing electron lifetime.

A progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme lea...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This article discusses the progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (PSTOS-ELM). PSTOS-ELM can save robust accuracy while updating the new data and the new class data on the online training situation. The robustness accuracy arises from using the householder block exact QR decomposition recursive least squares (HBQRD-RLS) of the PSTOS-ELM. This method is suitable for applications that have data streaming and often have new class data. Our experiment compares the PSTOS-ELM accuracy and accuracy robustness while data is updating with the batch-extreme learning machine (ELM) and structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (STOS-ELM) that both must retrain the data in a new class data case. The experimental results show that PSTOS-ELM has accuracy and robustness comparable to ELM and STOS-ELM while also can update new class data immediately.
Electroencephalography-based brain-computer interface using neural networksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This study aimed to develop a brain-computer interface that can control an electric wheelchair using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. First, we used the Mind Wave Mobile 2 device to capture raw EEG signals from the surface of the scalp. The signals were transformed into the frequency domain using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and filtered to monitor changes in attention and relaxation. Next, we performed time and frequency domain analyses to identify features for five eye gestures: opened, closed, blink per second, double blink, and lookup. The base state was the opened-eyes gesture, and we compared the features of the remaining four action gestures to the base state to identify potential gestures. We then built a multilayer neural network to classify these features into five signals that control the wheelchair’s movement. Finally, we designed an experimental wheelchair system to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the EEG classification was highly accurate and computationally efficient. Moreover, the average performance of the brain-controlled wheelchair system was over 75% across different individuals, which suggests the feasibility of this approach.
Adaptive segmentation algorithm based on level set model in medical imagingTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
For image segmentation, level set models are frequently employed. It offer best solution to overcome the main limitations of deformable parametric models. However, the challenge when applying those models in medical images stills deal with removing blurs in image edges which directly affects the edge indicator function, leads to not adaptively segmenting images and causes a wrong analysis of pathologies wich prevents to conclude a correct diagnosis. To overcome such issues, an effective process is suggested by simultaneously modelling and solving systems’ two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE). The first PDE equation allows restoration using Euler’s equation similar to an anisotropic smoothing based on a regularized Perona and Malik filter that eliminates noise while preserving edge information in accordance with detected contours in the second equation that segments the image based on the first equation solutions. This approach allows developing a new algorithm which overcome the studied model drawbacks. Results of the proposed method give clear segments that can be applied to any application. Experiments on many medical images in particular blurry images with high information losses, demonstrate that the developed approach produces superior segmentation results in terms of quantity and quality compared to other models already presented in previeous works.
Automatic channel selection using shuffled frog leaping algorithm for EEG bas...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disorder that necessitates comprehensive treatment of both the body and mind. It is categorized as a brain disorder due to its impact on the brain. Various methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can capture brain activities and structures. EEG signals provide valuable insights into neurological disorders, including drug addiction. Accurate classification of drug addiction from EEG signals relies on appropriate features and channel selection. Choosing the right EEG channels is essential to reduce computational costs and mitigate the risk of overfitting associated with using all available channels. To address the challenge of optimal channel selection in addiction detection from EEG signals, this work employs the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). SFLA facilitates the selection of appropriate channels, leading to improved accuracy. Wavelet features extracted from the selected input channel signals are then analyzed using various machine learning classifiers to detect addiction. Experimental results indicate that after selecting features from the appropriate channels, classification accuracy significantly increased across all classifiers. Particularly, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier combined with SFLA demonstrated a remarkable accuracy improvement of 15.78% while reducing time complexity.

low, normal medium, weak high, strong high, and very high, respectively.
The number of fuzzy sets is chosen corresponds to 49 fuzzy rules is implement for the
proposed fuzzy Automatic Sequential Reactive Power Compensation. In this paper 49 fuzzy
rules as shown in Figure 1(d) considered necessary because less that 49 rules will correspond
to blur amount lowering output accuracy and higher from 49 rules will correspond to to many
rules slowing the processing. We have not used any specific method for designing the FLC, but
to emulate human decision making the input and output membership functions is designed.
The weightage, W value is fed to series of MATLAB calculations as shown on Figure 2
to set the values of Stepped-UniMosSC capacitor banks set and setting the UniMosSC and TSR
firing angles. This process repeats itself for each end load appliance from the highest priority
appliance to the lowest priority appliance, fine tuning the power factor raising it to near unity. As
shown in Figure 2 a priority list is calculated, according to the highest value of appliance Tag ID
versus highest current the appliance consumes. This results in equivalent to fuzzified output of
weightage, but the main meter Tag ID with weightage at 1 is replaced with weightage at 0 as
last priority. The last priority actually does the highest order to compensate to unity or 1pf.
The weightage, W from the fuzzy output ranges from 0 to 1 is used to set the new
power factor desired PFdesired, from the measured power factor PF. The weight set in
percentage of difference from the measured PF with Unity PF as in Equation (1).

P is the measured true power in kW units. MF is the multiplication factor that calculates
the reactive power QC the in kVAR units using Equation (2) and (3). The conventional way
would be to use VAR power factor correction chart but Equation (2) and (3) represents the
conventional chart in equations for easy computational coding purpose.

Then the correction CX capacitor C bank values in μF are used to archive the desired power
factor using Equation (4) and (5). Where V is the supply voltage and f is the supply frequency
usually around 240V and 50Hz respectively. Xc is capacitive reactances in Ohms.

When the Matlab Simulink software finishes calculating the CX capacitor values, it then
rounds it to the nearest fraction of half. Then the value compared with existing stepped
capacitor bank combinations values to set to the nearest possible combination. This is done
using a set of if-else instructions derived from our past work [5] Binary PFC. Finally the desired
capacitors are triggered at the correct firing angle using UniMosSC. Figure 2 shows the overall
process of calculation and the process.
From the Matlab Simulink diagram in Figure 2 it also shows another parallel calculation
process done to find the TCR firing angle using the desired reactive power QC. The values of
QC converted to XC then QL found using Equation (6). Then the firing angle impedance
XL(TCR) calculated using Equation (7) and finally the firing angle α is calculated using Equation
(8).

The firing angle calculated is for the first half cycle which corresponds between
90˚<α<180˚. The next half cycle firing angle is calculated by adding 180˚ as shown in Figure 2.
Equation 9 is helpful for choosing the right reactance value from calculated XL(TCR). We have
chosen 10mH as its impedance as this value is below the value of XL(TCR) to satisfy the
condition in Equation 10.

3. Simulations
The MATLAB Simulink model for simulating single phase AC voltage source of 240V
50Hz, is shown in Figure 5. Active power of each parallel load is 880kW and reactive power is
0.24kVAR. The monitor block collects instantaneous current and voltage flowing from source.
Scopes place at various positions to display the signals generated during simulation. The real
power and reactive power is calculated resulting computation of capacitors and computation of
inductive in Figure 5 as similar to illustration of Figure 2 in this paper. Finally this C and L values
need to archive recalculate as firing angles.
Figure 3 shows simulated the Dual-TCR controlling the current across the inductor for
firing angles is limited to 90˚<α<180˚ for each half cycle.Where else for Dual-MosSC as shown
in Figure 4 the conduction angles is limited to 90˚<α<180˚ for each half cycle controlling the
capacitor. The duty cycle of Thyristor firing angle is merely 1% of 50Hz supply period resulting
to 3.6˚ or 20μs. Where else the duty cycle of MOSFET conduction angle is as large as
90˚or 5ms.

MATLAB Simulation in Figure 5 configured as SVC with Dual-TCR and Dual-MosSC
working as a Fuzzied Appliance Automatic Sequential Reactive Power Compensation. There is
three appliance loaded and connected to the system. Each load compensates in sequential
according to the appliance weightage and final compensation occurs at mains. Figure 6 show
overall power factor measured in the mains during compensating process for each stage in
Figure 5. The compensation starts with sub compensation one block at 0.03s, then sub two
block at 0.07s, following sub three block at 0.13s and ends with main compensation block at
0.17s. From Figure 6 we could see that there is sequential improvement of power factor from
0.80pf without compensator to 0.98pf after full compensator settled at 0.20s.
From Figure 6 we could also see variations in power factor curving down hill and up hill
rather than expected result of simple up hill stair case curve. This effect could be explain easily
as due to fuzziness applied in our system, the change of overall current due to effect of
compensation at a stage will recalculate the new value of compensating capacitors and reactor,
creating a coupling effect between both like a salsa dance between them. In other words the
capacitors will keep changing combinations and the reactor follows to its rhythm and keep
changing its firing angle. This process oscillates till the minimum capacitor value and maximum
firing angle achieved in the reactor at the point of steady current drawn at that stage. After all
the rhythmic dance between capacitor and reactor at each stage the system finally halts at
0.20s. The chosen two power factor modeling technique demonstrates the robustness of our
fuzzy sequential reactive compensate.
Figure 6. shows both waveform shows PF monitored at the mains versus time. The blue
waveform shows accurate PF using power factor measurement block, where else the red
waveform calculates PF using integral power factor modeling technique.
4. Hardware Implementation
One of the essential systems for our Sequential Reactive Power Compensation System
is monitoring energy quality and compensation. Basic compensation system design uses
combination of Mechanically Switched Capacitor (MSC) banks as illustrated in paper [6]. In our
earlier designs we have built multiple units of wireless PF meter and Stepped MSC Binary PFC
[5] at each end device appliance load. We have incorporated a similar design concept in our
Stepped MosSC topology Sequential Reactive Power Compensation System for this paper but
instead of using MSC relay devices, we have used semiconductor switches MOSFET. For SVC
implementation the major hardware component is the Thyristor. Correct combinations of driver
and microcontroller should be used for reliable hardware implementation. Paper [13]-[14] and
[15] illustrates on fully functional shunt SVC circuitry and hardware building.

Novel UniMosSC
Shunt SVC can be of the following types SVC-TCR-FC or SVC-TCR-MSC or SVC-TCR-
TSC as shown in Figure 7. For a SVC, TCR is combined with any of the combinations in Figure
8 with Fix Capacitor, Mechanical Switched Capacitor, Thyristor Switched Capacitor or with Solid
State Relays Switched Capacitor models. In this paper we have designed a new novel topology
of SVC-TCR-UniMosSC a Thyristor Controlled Reactor with Unidirectional MOSFET Switched
Capacitor topology that only uses one switching device, reducing the cost of the system and
mitigates control malfunction or wrong time switching.
One of the drawbacks of the SVC system is that it’s switching devices produces
comparatively high harmonic distortion in the power lines as illustrated in paper [7] a Dual-TCR
topology with firing angle is 95˚and 275˚ resulting in a typical 0.51 THD for a single phase
system. Paper [8] illustrateds a SVC-Dual-TCR-FC topology with firing at 140˚ and 320˚for a
0.5mH inductor and capacitor choice of 5uF to compensation capacitor values of 4.887uF.
Authors of paper [9] designed a SVC-Dual-TCR-Stepped-TSC with multi banks of Thyristor
switch capacitors combinations used.
In a shunt SVC system the TSC is not used to control the value of capacitor as it is
done with TCR, but merely just to ON or OFF the TSC bank capacitors [7]. In contrast, in TCR
the control of inductor value is achieved by controlling the current across inductor resulting in
variation of the QL. For TCR the Thyristor firing angles is limited to 90˚<α<180˚ for each half
cycle, where else for TSC the MOSFET conduction angles is limited to 0˚<δ<90˚ for each half
cycle and any firing angle larger 90˚, face step inrush currents or trapped charge in the TSC
capacitor.
Our UniMosSC, works on single line 100Hz switching frequency controller fed to
MOSFET gate but Dual-TSC works on dual line dual 50Hz switching frequency controller fed to
each Thyristor gate. TSC works on short burst of pulse that once activated the Thyristor it will
only be switched OFF when the current drops to zero. Whereas in our MosSC device, large
pulse is used resembling the conduction angle and it is supplied for both half cycles.
The advantage of our UniMosCS topology is that it uses only one switching device and
one gate drivers circuit. Another advantage in our design is that the conduction angle starts at
the point of zero crossing entry whereas in Dual-TCR there is a need for delay between both
signals increasing error propensity. The control signal for UniMosCS is easy to operate and it
reduces errors in switching time to the MOSFET.
The UniMosCS topology in Figure 7 works with MOSFET permitted to flow in sections
of the first positive half cycle of line supply with D1 and D2 in forward. At each cycle only one
way the direction of current flow, from drain to source. The choice of using Thyristor or MOSFET
model largely depended on the end device loads and the electrical system Thyristor used for
three phase and MOSFET used for single phase system.

Stepped CX binary MosSC System

phase system in a home
Figure 8 shows our single phase SVC System circuit design. The circuit uses Myrra
PCB though hole transform 9Vac, 2.5VA, 50Hz for the system 5V an 3.3V DC power supply, IC
ATmega 328p and Zigbee. For power line 240V, 50Hz zero crossing detection we use is IC
H11AA1. XBee Series 2, Part number XB24Z7WIT-004 is used for communication to the main
server. The ATmega microprocessor we have assigned has six PWM digital pins as output to
switching devices.
Two digital pin signals is used for TCR module. They are connected to two different
optocoupler 4N25 as an isolation gate driver to two Thyristor TYN404 modules (rating 400V,
4A). Both Thyristor are connected with a shunt core inductor of 18AWG, 10uH.
The ATmega’s another four digital pin signals are used for TSC module. Each digital pin
signal is connected with an optocoupler 4N25 as an isolation to the gate of the MOSFET’s
IRF830 (rating 500V, 4.5A) and the high voltage circuity that biases to the MOSFET gate and
the bridge rectifier power diodes. This four UniMosSC repeated modules is connected to shunt
CX capacitors each with values of 4uF, 2uF, 1uF and 0.5uF creating a Stepped-UniMosSC
topology.
Our non-intrusive SVC System hardware in Figure 8 is installed closed to the single
phase main box of Room 1 or the living room of a home as shown in Figure 9. PF meter and
THD meter we have built in previous paper [5] are also installed in Room 1 and all are controlled
and monitored via Zigbee wirelessly via a server.
Additional units 2, 3, 4 and 5 are installed in the same home approximately close to
inductive end device appliances; refrigerator air conditioner, washing machine and vacuum
cleaner respectively. Each of this unit consisted only our Stepped Binary UniMosSC and PF
meter via wireless Zigbee communication to the same server. The appliance is connected to the
main utility around 100 feet apart with 10AWG copper wires as shown in Figure 10 with variable
of m in meters. The internal resistance of the wires is 0.1 ohm resistance per 100 feet. The
number of appliances can be increased and set as variable k. The wireless Zigbee
communication with the server and k number of units is connected in request mode than timely
manner broadcasting mode method because to reduce the tendency of congestion in wireless
network queuing. In other words the communication is controlled by the server requesting for
monitored data or controlling access with the other nodes of Zigbee in the system.

5. Results
The yellow spikes signals in Figure 10 and Figure 11 are observe waveform from
oscilloscope measured at zero crossing output. Where else waveform measured in between
10mH inductor and Dual-TCR shown in Figure 10 for firing angle setting at 110˚ and 290˚.
Figure 11 shows the oscilloscope waveform measured in between CX capacitor and UniMosSC
at conduction angle setting of 90˚ and 270˚.
We have complied and plotted three different results from our Sequential Reactive
Power Compensation System as shown in Figure 12.
Multi-Stepped-UniMosSC compensator where only Stepped UniMosSC is used though
out the sequential compensation system resulting the final phase angle of 0.95pf and harmonics
measurement of 5.9 THD.
Multi-Stepped-UniMosSC and Single-Dual-TCR compensator where Stepped-
UniMosSC is used though out in all the end appliance devices and in the final sequential
compensation stage both MosSC and Dual-TCR combination are used resulting in the final
phase angle of 0.97pf and harmonics measurement of 6.7 THD.
Multi-Stepped-UniMosSC and Multi-Dual-TCR compensator where Stepped-UniMosSC
is used though out in all the end appliance devices and at the same time Dual-TCR at the main
box is also switched for each sequence of Stepped UniMosSC switching resulting in the final
phase angle of 0.99pf and harmonics measurement of 6.8 THD thus giving the best results of
PFC for our system.
The system operation order is of the flowing sequence-once our single phase
Sequential Reactive Power Compensation System is activated, the coordinating server collects
the appliance priority list and weightage which it is used to calculate the capacitor combination
needed. Then at the end device appliance where the UniMosSC compensator is connected, the
desired capacitor combination is triggered via turn on the MOSFTEs and at the same time firing
angle for TCR compensator is calculated and triggers at the main electrical box.
Upon first sequential execution at the refrigerator appliance the program will find the
next highest priority order appliance and repeat the process with a lesser weightage
compensation. For our system, the second periodically ordered sequential appliance is the air
conditioning. The process interval of 5 seconds is given for each sequential for the system to
enquire data wirelessly, processing calculation, hardware execution and compensating transient
relaxation. Repeatedly the cycle continued to lower priority order with lower compensation
weightages improving the total PF phase angle of the overall home utility system as in Figure
13. The final compensation was performed at the main electrical box with the highest weightage
of one to compensate the final brew of reactive power. Our system kicks on reset mode if the
system detects the phase angle drop below 0.9pf or the total load current drop drastically below
75% at the main electrical box.
The final sequential compensation happens at the main electrical box itself, where we
have set it to the lowest priority but the highest weightage at a given point of time of unity. The
final brew compensated at this point is near unity PF phase angle.

Figure 13. shows PF reading we have observed and plotted at different situations and
placements of Stepped-UniMosSC and Dual-TCR compensating system. It also shows the
thyristor triggering angle and capacitor tuned values used at each sequence.
6. Conclusion
Our non-intrusive plug and play Sequential Reactive Power Compensation system is
easily installed in any building without additional wiring required. Furthermore the hardware
system compensates approximately unity which translates to reduction in consumer utility
billing. The complexity of appliance clustering computations done quickly by our server with
simplified fuzziness implementation. The UniMosSC gate control signals of our system is pro
error redundant and further we have reduced the units we use for the gate driver and switching
devices resulting THD noise suppression and in reduction of hardware production cost.
Our system has capacitor banks being equally distributes throughout the building
electrical system compared to the conventional system of having one big bank of capacitors at
the main electrical box. This distribution of capacitor bank adds in advantages:
a. It is space saving as smaller size PFC installed and distribute evenly throughout the
building.
b. It solves power quality issue at the root of the problem achieved.
c. It acts as early warning detection of end appliance power leakage drain or fault.
d. It is robust as if one of the PFC end device module fails other PFC module replaced its role
compare to the current PFC modules where the failure of PFC module fails the overall
system at home level.
Our system has multiple PF monitoring and PFC nodes with reliable wireless
communication connected to home server. Adds in Advantages:
a. Remote monitoring and controlling end device home PFC nodes by the utility provider.
b. Transferring the cost of PFC at feeder end which is consumed by the utility provider to
consumer level.
c. Consumers could analyze their behavior of their home for better energy management.
d. Utility provider could analyze consumer behavior for better management of dynamic PFC
grid system.
We did not expand our system to a large industrial building and did not further enhance
the system for three phase appliances, due to financial constraint. Further for enhancement of
our system it requires huge amount of funds. For future work, we would recommend research to
be done on SSR-SC models and UniTSC topology.
