TL;DR: In this paper, the equal area criterion method (EAC) is used to determine the stability of a power system if the fault occured and also the critical clearing time (Critical clearing time).
Abstract: One of methods that can be used to determine the stability of a power system if the fault occured is the equal area criterion method. The equal area criterion method (Equal Area Criterion, EAC) is an example of a direct method for predicting the stability and also the critical clearing time (Critical clearing time). However, to calculate the complex calculations required to determine the equivalent impedance of each condition system. In this study used several approaches to facilitate the calculation of the equivalent impedance. This method uses the equation of power losses. This method is equivalent impedance using modified with Ploss and Qloss for Determining Pmax. From the analysis, it can be concluded the use of this method is quite accurate in analyzing or calculating the transient stability of the generator system in South Sulawesi, with each loading condition, before, during and after short circuit. Generator being looked at is Bakaru, Pare, Suppa, Barru and Sengkang.

TL;DR: It has been shown that the proposed fault tolerant voter circuit works properly as a majority voter in different faulty conditions of a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) system and in the presence of internal hardware failure (failure in transistor level) the voter circuit working properly.
Abstract: Defect rate in Nanoelectronics is much higher than conventional CMOS circuits. Hardware redundancy can be a suitable solution for fault tolerance in nano level. A voter circuit is a part of a redundancy based fault tolerant system that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of one or more faults within its components. Robustness of the voter circuit defines the reliability of the fault tolerant system. This paper provides simulation results and analysis of a fault tolerant voter circuit. In a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) system, the robustness of the voter circuit has been improved. For this purpose, redundancy at transistor level has been added. In this technique each transistor of the various building blocks (Ex-OR gate, Multiplexer) of the voter circuit is replaced by a quadded-transistor structure. Quadded transistor structure provides built in immunity to all single defects as well as a large number of multiple defects. To evaluate the effectiveness of the voter circuit an IC layout in 90nm CMOS technology is developed. FPNI layout using qNAND hypercell is also designed and analysed. By simulation procedure it has been shown that the proposed fault tolerant voter circuit works properly as a majority voter in different faulty conditions of a TMR system. Moreover, it has been shown that in the presence of internal hardware failure (failure in transistor level) the voter circuit works properly.

TL;DR: A new method for detecting the PQ disturbances via empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and Hilbert (HT) is proposed and presents more accurate results than the ST.
Abstract: With the increasingly penetration of nonlinear loads in the power system, power quality (PQ) has become a significant issue for the power utilities and end users. In order to improve the PQ, the PQ detection is essential. In this paper, a new method for detecting the PQ disturbances via empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and Hilbert (HT) is proposed. Firstly, EWT is applied to the signal for obtaining different modes. Then the instantaneous amplitude and frequency of each mode are calculated by using the HT. By applying it to two stationary signals and two non-stationary signals, the efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated. With no frequency aliasing like the S transform (ST), the proposed method presents more accurate results than the ST.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient non-interactive deniable authentication scheme is presented by combining the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol with authenticated encryption schemes, which is shown to be secure in the standard model without bilinear groups.
Abstract: Deniable authentication protocols enable a sender to authenticate a message to a receiver such that the receiver is unable to prove the identity of the sender to a third party. In contrast to interactive schemes, non-interactive deniable authentication schemes improve communication efficiency. Currently, several non-interactive deniable authentication schemes have been proposed with provable security in the random oracle model. In this paper, we study the problem of constructing non-interactive deniable authentication scheme secure in the standard model without bilinear groups. An efficient non-interactive deniable authentication scheme is presented by combining the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol with authenticated encryption schemes. We prove the security of our scheme by sequences of games and show that the computational cost of our construction can be dramatically reduced by applying pre-computation technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the current density in the earth surrounding measurement electrodes and electrical grounding systems and discuss the effects of soil structures on measurements and grounding related studies, including the influence of nearby buried grounding systems on soil resistivity measurements.
Abstract: The design of electrical grounding systems is crucial to ensure people's safety and equipment integrity. The performance of the grounding system is critically dependent on the characteristics of the local soil surrounding the grounding system. Some wrong concepts and assumptions on soil electrical properties are still prevalent among professionals regarding soil resistivity measurements and grounding designs. The objective of this paper is to examine the current density in the earth surrounding measurement electrodes and electrical grounding systems and discuss the effects of soil structures on measurements and grounding related studies. The analyses described here are based on electromagnetic field theory. First, this paper examines soil resistivity measurements using the Wenner method in three typical, but different soil structure models, by exploring the distribution of earth current density in the soil surrounding the current injection electrodes. The computed results are illustrated using appropriate plots to understand better the influence of soil structure and characteristics on the current penetration across the soil layers. Furthermore, a detailed study on the influence of nearby buried grounding systems on soil resistivity measurements was also carried out. Finally, the performance of grounding systems in the three soil structure models has been studied in order to gain an intuitive understanding of the effects of soil structures on grounding. The results clarify and invalidate some misleading arguments used by a few practicians. All computed results are summarized in appropriate tables and figures which should provide helpful visual clues and useful information when planning soil resistivity measurements and designing electrical grounding systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new compact broadband planar slot antenna for multi-antenna transmission in 5G, which is based on on the microstrip line combined with a slot technique and a modified geometry antenna in order to enlarge the bandwidth and adapt the impedance.
Abstract: Multi-antenna transmission already plays an important role in current generations of mobile communication and will be even more central in the 5G, due to the physical limitations of small antennas. Path loss between a transmitter and receiver does not change as a function of frequency, as long as the effective aperture of the transmitting and receiving antennas does not change. The antenna aperture does reduce in proportion to the square of the frequency, and that reduction can be compensated by the use of higher antenna directivity. The 5G radio will employ hundreds of antenna elements to increase antenna aperture beyond what may be possible with current cellular technology. This paper presents a new compact broadband planar slot antenna for such kind of wireless communication applications. To develop this structure we have conducted a design based on on the microstrip line combined with a slot technique and a modified geometry antenna in order to enlarge the bandwidth and adapting the impedance thus minimizing distortion in order to avoid high crosstalk and radiation. The proposed antennas have been successfully designed, optimized, miniaturized and simulated by using Momentum software integrated into ADS ”Advanced Design System” and CADFEKO. The final broadband antennas are operating in 9.84GHz on ADS and 9.5 GHz on FEKO respectively with a return loss less than -10dB.

TL;DR: This work uses the edge detection and the principle of camera imaging, and runs the test in MATLAB to get the method of finding the region of interest quickly and can reduce the retrieval area and shorten the retrieval time in pedestrian detection.
Abstract: In pedestrian detection based on car video, it is necessary to quickly and accurately detect pedestrians. However, in the past the method that people used is exhaustive search. The method needs to detect all the areas in the picture, which is a waste of time. Based on the purpose of reducing the area to be tested, we use the edge detection and the principle of camera imaging, and run the test in MATLAB to get the method of finding the region of interest quickly. This method can reduce the retrieval area and shorten the retrieval time. The method can meet the requirements of real-time in pedestrian detection. Compared with the exhaustive search method, the number of windows that the method requires is 1/33 of the number of windows that the exhaustive search method requires. The detection speed of this method is several times higher than that of the exhaustive search method. It can be seen that the method is effective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the energy loss due to snow on solar photovoltaic systems and demonstrate a 9% loss in energy yield per year in absence of bypass diodes.
Abstract: The objective of this study is to quantify the energy loss due to snow on solar photovoltaic systems. Solar photovoltaic systems in cold temperatures have an advantage over warmer regions due to improved efficiencies. However, colder regions generally receive a significant amount of snow, which may hinder the energy output of the photovoltaic systems. For this experimental research, a solar photovoltaic system was set up in Calgary, Canada to analyze and quantify the energy losses due to snow. This research demonstrates a 9% loss in energy yield per year due to snow accumulation in absence of bypass diodes.

TL;DR: In this paper, two previously unknown laws of energy efficiency invariance are established in the field of multiphase (i.e. having the number of phases more than four) AC inverter drives.
Abstract: The study of AC inverter drives in the case when the number of their phases is more than four allows to find out some basic laws of these systems which does not manifest themselves when the phase number is equal to three or four. Two previously unknown laws of energy efficiency invariance are established in the field of multiphase (i.e. having the number of phases more than four) AC inverter drives. These laws ignoring leads necessarily to the decrease of the multiphase drive system energy efficiency.

Abstract: It has showed in experiments that aluminum nano-polycrystalline substances are ferromagnetic. A magnetic hysteresis curve measured by SQUID suggested the ferromagnetism. Al bulk is normally thought to be non-magnetic body. Authors also fabricated core inductors using Al nano-polycrystalline substances and measured the inductances of cored inductors with frequency dependence. Al nano-polycrystalline substance was fabricated by sintering Al nanopaste with Al nanoparticles. Al nanoparticles were prepared by using laser ablation in liquid. The structures and components of the sintered Al nano-polycrystalline substances were analyzed by SEM and EDX. It has been shown that inductor using Al nano-polycrystalline substance with low volume resistivity, which is the same order of metal, works at low frequencies below 500 Hz, while inductor using substance with high volume resistivity works at high frequency of 5 MHz. Our analysis of Al nano-polycrystalline substance with high volume resistivity revealed relative permittivity of 7 at frequency of 1 MHz. It has been expected that these inductors to work at frequency of a few GHz because the magnetic resonance frequency of the Al nano-polycrystalline substances were evaluated to be 5.6 GHz and the high volume resistivity results in suppressing the eddy currents.
