Too far node distance may result in unreachable transmission while too near node distance not necessarily guarantee nodes connection. By knowing an acceptable distance range to position nodes in the networks, it can greatly help researchers to better configure settings of WSN environment, while reducing precision of readings between real WSN testbed and the simulation counterpart. This paper demonstrates a real implementation of transmission power control to assist the decision-making on nodes positioning to be used in a sensor network communication. The implementation of the study is done using the MICAz motes with a nesC programming in TinyOS in an indoor environment. Our findings suggest that to assure network connectivity, motes must not be located more than 1.18 metres distance when they are placed on the floor building and not more than 2.37 metres distance when they are situated about one metre above the floor building. Our results also indicates that the maximum length the signals can travel using maximum power 0 dBm is merely about six metres long.","PeriodicalId":123939,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115287766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the very common sources of biogas is sewage sludge which is generally a threat to the environment. In Bangladesh this threat could be turned to a blessing by using the treated outcomes of sewage sludge into generating electricity. In Dhaka city everyday a large amount of sewage sludge is being produced, which is approximately 1,841,980 kg/day. If this huge amount of sludge is being perfectly entreated, then we could get a huge amount of biogas and energy from it. In this paper the generated electricity in the aspect of Dhaka city from the sewage sludge has been calculated which could be approximately 58.12 MW per day basis. The average electricity demand of Dhaka city in 2013 was 520.18 MW/day. But the supply power was 483.48 MW/day on an average. From the sludge per monthly total generated power could reach as high as 1.74 GW approximately. So the generated power from the sewage sludge will not only be an upright contribution to the national grid, but also reduce our environmental threat as well.","PeriodicalId":123939,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE)","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131458160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variation in generated power with varying voltage & frequency due to the change in wind speed are processed by proportional & integral (PI) controllers to control the voltage gain of DMC, consequently it regulate the desired powers, voltage and frequency.

Due to its cost effectiveness, downsize and less weight, great attention has been paid to these inverters development. However, these inverters have limitations like the flow of leakage current through PV arrays, high total harmonic distortion (THD) at inverter's output and DC current injection to the grid. This paper presents coupled inductor based single-phase transformerless semi-Z-source inverter topology to lessen those limitations. For the purpose of handling the nonlinearity of the voltage gain of semi Z-source inverter, a nonlinear sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique has been employed. A laboratory prototype of the proposed inverter has been constructed. The feasibility of the configuration is ensured based on the mitigated common mode leakage current as well as the substantially lower THD at inverter's output voltage.","PeriodicalId":123939,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114288250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electricity shortage is the major obstacles for a developing nation. Currently, about 68% of the total population has access to electricity including public & private sectors. Electricity demand is increasing day by day. To overcome this situation, government has taken necessary steps. For instance, establishing various power plants which are nonrenewable; such as oil, gas, coal, and many more. In addition, government has taken steps to establish a nuclear power plant in Ruppur and thermal coal based plant in Rumpal & Moheshkhali. On the other hand, due to geographical position, nuclear power plant is not suitable for Bangladesh. Because of geographical position, nuclear power needs a huge technological safety. Bangladesh is far behind this safety. Therefore, renewable energy is very efficient for overcoming this power crisis. We proposed grid connected hybrid system by utilizing two different energy sources to mitigate the rising demand of electricity, especially in rural or remote areas of Bangladesh which can be used for domestic as well as commercial applications. In Bangladesh, about 72% of the populations live in the rural area and renewable energy is the right choice for providing clean energy.","PeriodicalId":123939,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115053253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays security is the main concern in every sector of our life. Most of the system requires a secret password to get access of the system under protection. In our work, a password based security system is proposed where password can be given by eye via EOG signal. The EOG interface detects the eye movement through electrodes placed on the face around the eyes. A unique pattern of EOG signal obtained by eye movement in certain directions can give the most secure password. An algorithm is proposed to detect the eye movement and extract the features of EOG signal. These features are further used to recognize the pattern for password using string matching technique. This system can be used as an added feature of EOG based assistive system. This is an offline approach which is highly accurate and reliable.","PeriodicalId":123939,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123102865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main specialty of this antenna is its tiny dimension & bendability which makes it practically implantable for in-body biomedical applications. Actual size of the antenna is (8.20×12.5×0.045) mm. For making it suitable for implementation, the antenna was immersed inside a human tissue model where proper electrical properties of the human tissue muscle model were maintained.

This antenna can be used for real time wireless monitoring of blood pressure, temperature, glucose level, and other in-body applications that functions in the ISM band.
