Improved low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy and its optimum cluster head selection

ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a vital role in present-day world, which are being used in different types of applications and occupy an important part in networking domain. The main objective of WSNs is to sense and collect the information from a given area of interest and provide the gathered data to the sink. WSN comprises of number of sensor nodes with batteries of limited energy for communication and computational activities, which are not possible to recharge the batteries after their deployment in the region of interest. Therefore, saving battery energy and utilising the limited power to the optimum level for extending network lifetime became the main factor of WSN. Hence, optimum cluster head (CH) selection will make the network to support longer lifetime and balanced energy consumption during its lifetime. Our proposed protocol selects the optimum CH and found out to be more efficient than the existing low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy. The simulated output shows better network lifetime and in some other performance metric.     

航位推算法在导航定位中的仿真研究

航位推算(DR)法最初用于船舶的航行定位中,所使用的加速度计、磁罗盘、陀螺仪成本高,尺寸大.而随着微机电系统技术的发展,加速度计、数字罗盘、陀螺仪尺寸、重量、成本都大大降低,使得其可以在行人导航中得以应用.针对DR算法的原理,利用GPS/INS紧密组合导航系统INS 1200进行导航实验,采集实时数据,利用DR算法以及坐标转换算法对实验数据进行处理,通过MATLAB软件模拟了经过坐标变换后的定位图.仿真结果表明,DR算法在短时间内有较高的导航精度,对短时间导航有较大意义.

Modeling and simulation of an industrial‐scale parex process

The Parex unit for industrial‐scale purification of p‐xylene was studied through detailed simulation and the accuracy of the developed model tested against real industrial data. Starting from a comprehensive analysis of the construction and operation of the industrial unit, a simulation model was developed that incorporates the existing three major types of dead volumes: bed lines, which connect the beds to the rotary valve, circulation lines, which connect adjacent adsorbent chambers, and bed‐head dead volumes, which are located upstream of each bed due to the existence of internals. By gathering operation data and surveys in the pumparound line and in the extract stream, three case studies were defined and compared with simulation results. The model is capable of predicting the performance of the industrial unit. Further simulations were made and compared with plant data to assess the effect of adsorbent capacity loss on the long‐term performance of the unit. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 1345–1363, 2015     

Control of three phase PWM rectifier using virtual flux‐based predictive direct power control and SVM under harmonic conditions

In this paper, a new predictive direct power control algorithm to control the PWM rectifier based on virtual flux (VF) is presented. In this algorithm, supply network and the line inductances are assumed as an induction machine and so virtual flux space vectors are assumed corresponding with the space vector of the network voltages. Instantaneous active and reactive powers and finally convertor average voltage in both stationary and rotating reference frames are calculated by the virtual flux space vector components. The main advantages of the proposed method are low total harmonic distortion of the input current and low ripple in the instantaneous active and reactive powers and direct current‐bus voltage under harmonic distorted condition of the supply voltage in comparison with voltage‐based predictive direct power control (V‐PDPC) method. Proposed VF‐PDPC method with space vector modulation switching strategy was tested in simulations and compared with the V‐PDPC method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Design and analysis of multi-source multi-area deregulated power system for automatic generation control using quasi-oppositional harmony search algorithm

The present article focuses on the study of automatic generation control (AGC) of a realistic power system having a distinct combination of multi-area multi-source generating units in each control area under deregulated framework. An attempt is made in this paper to integrate reheat thermal, hydro and gas generating unit in a single control area and, then, extended this combination to five control areas. In this work, six reheat thermal, six hydro and three gas generating units are taken into account for the modeling of five-area power system. Some important physical constraints like time delay, governor dead band and generation rate constraint are imposed in the power system dynamics to get an accurate perception of the deregulated AGC subject. The highlighting features of the present work are to model, simulate, optimize and co-relate their inter-related dynamic performances for the purpose of AGC study. For such a complex AGC model, the vital role of the proposed quasi-oppositional harmony search (QOHS) algorithm, as an optimizing tool, is signified while solving the AGC problem in deregulated regime. The simplicity of the structure and acceptability of the responses of the well-known proportional–integral–derivative controller, inherently, enforces to employ in this work. The three classes of extensive deregulated cases (in the presence of load following and physical constraints) are demonstrated by examining the closed loop performance of the studied model. The simulation results show that the designed power system model may be a feasible one and the proposed QOHS algorithm may be a promising optimization technique under these circumstances.     

A Method for Reducing the Dead‐Time Voltage and Impedance Voltage in a Series Voltage Compensator

Many research groups are developing series voltage compensators. In a series converter, since a transformer is used in series in the power system, the power system current flows into the voltage source inverter through the transformer. The inverter current, which is determined by the transformation ratio, gives rise to an error voltage that consists of a dead‐time voltage and an impedance voltage. The error voltage is generated even when the reference voltage is zero. This paper describes the mechanism by which the error voltage occurs and proposes a method for reducing the error voltage. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
