Droop control approach is used to control the both Diesel generators, the voltage source converter in order to achieve power sharing and maintain the voltage and frequency constant at the point of common coupling (PCC). To achieve high performance from the solar PV array (PV) the DC-DC buck boost converter is controlled to maintain the DC voltage constant as well as to compensate the fluctuation of generated power from the PV and balance the power in the system during transition. The performances of the proposed approach are tested using Matlab/Simulink under weather and load variation conditions.","PeriodicalId":181463,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical & Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116538679","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}

Traditional state estimation techniques require redundant meters readings in addition to pseudo measurements in order to correctly estimate the network states. In order to estimate the network states with few real time measurements, this paper presents a novel real time estimation technique. The proposed technique requires no additional pseudo or virtual measurements for estimation. Moreover, the introduced technique solves the lack of observability problem associated with few measurements. The proposed technique is based on the placement of smart meters at few selected locations; these locations are only dependent upon the network topology and do not change with the injection point of the distributed generators. The proposed algorithm is efficient in dealing with balanced as well as unbalanced distribution networks. The estimation algorithm is implemented and tested on the 69 bus balanced feeder and the IEEE 34 bus unbalanced feeder. The results obtained are compared to the actual load flow results to show the accuracy of the developed technique.","PeriodicalId":181463,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical & Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117292006","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}

These connected devices range from the traditional smart phones to electrical appliances, solar panels, converters, electric vehicles and wearables. Satisfying their connectivity demand is adding pressure to the wireless networks which are already pressed with serving their bandwidth-hungry mobile users. LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) aims to exploit the unlicensed spectrum to offload mobile user (LTE users) traffic, increase capacity, and hence improve the us $e$ r/device experience in an era of inflated demand. Meanwhile, WiFi is the dominant technology operating at the unlicensed spectrum. Therefore, LTE-U needs to ensure the performance of WiFi users do not degrade as LTE users offload their traffic. In this paper, we propose a Q-learning based medium access approach to enhance the Listen Before Talk (LBT) mechanism of LTE-U. Q-learning based LBT helps with the co-existence issue by enhancing the performance of WiFi users at times when LTE-U users try to access the unlicensed bands. Our results show that the proposed Q-learning based LBT reduces the end-to-end delay of WiFi users in the order of several tens of seconds in comparison to the standard LBT implementation. It also increases the delivery success rate of WiFi traffic by up to 71%.","PeriodicalId":181463,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical & Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125415189","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}

Inherently, signal acquisition and conditioning is done through analog discrete front end circuitry.

Due to the recent developments in VLSI technology, highly integrated Analog Front Ends (AFEs) are emerging, capable of processing bio-signals under program control. This ushers a new design paradigm for the embedded system designers.

While a traditional computer excels in precision and unbiased logic, its abilities to interact socially lags behind those of biological neural systems. Recent technologies, such as neuromorphic engineering, cloud infrastructure, and big data analytics, have emerged that can narrow the gap between traditional robots and human intelligence. Neuromorphic robotics mimicking brain functions can contribute in developing intelligent machines capable of learning and making autonomous decisions. Cloud-based robotics take advantage of remote resources for parallel computation and sharing large amounts of information while benefiting from analysis of massive sensor data from robots. In this paper, we survey recent advances in neuromorphic computing, cloud-based robotics, and big data analytics and list the most important challenges faced by robot architects. We also propose a novel dual system architecture for robots where they have a brain centered cloud with access to big data analytics.","PeriodicalId":181463,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical & Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121625153","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}

This modeling technique was validated practically in a real mine site environment in Irtishskiy mine, Kazakhstan. Our model considered number of parameters that are critical to performance of the system such as transmitting power, frequency, geometry of antenna and system grounding. To the best of our knowledge, this paper presents a novel analyses and modeling results demonstrating the effects of different grounding systems designs on the wave propagation behaviors in TTE systems.

Results show that induction thermography can detect cracks in engine parts, with inspection time of less than 1 s. Coating surface to increase the part emissivity improved the signal to noise ratio but was not necessary for the crack detection. Despite high local heat gradient resulting from the parts' edges, cracks were still detectable. This edge effect introduced more challenges to detect short cracks. Relatively, longer cracks were easier to detect. The optimal observation time, in the experiments, was between 0.1 s and 0.25 s. Inspection of the engine disc with complex geometry was feasible using the induction thermography technique. However, in this case only some of the cracks were detected. Similar findings were also obtained from the 3D multiphysics finite element modelling.","PeriodicalId":181463,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical & Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116298703","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}
