The study consists of a photovoltaic generator, an inverter, an induction motor and a centrifugal pump as mechanical load.

The coupling between Reverse Osmosis Desalination (ROD) processes and photovoltaic energy sources is a best solution to produce drinkable water from brackish water. However, the high intermittence of the photovoltaic energy level is the mean reason of membranes filling; therefore it makes these plants not optimally designed and operated because only a short number of constant operation points is considered and not a changeable control strategy. The present paper deals with a novel suitable control strategy approach based on the Variable Structure Model Reference Adaptive Control (VSMRAC) applied to ROD systems fed by photovoltaic sources. The control algorithm ensures minimal value of the following error between the plant and the reference model even in the presence of intermittent sources. The performances of the proposed control are shown by simulations and validated by experimental results.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115219376","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}

Different methods are proposed to ensure prior data protection. Symmetric block encryption schemes, designed on two-dimensional chaotic maps, are efficient and secure for real-time image encryption. In the case of numeric data, the encrypted signal can be easily viewed and then intercepted in order to be revealed. This creates a need to offer a posterior protection to improve protection for confidential data. In this paper a method combining chaotic encryption system with frequency watermarking is presented. The proposed technique is divided in two steps. The first step, consists in applying a modified Tao algorithm based chaotic map with higher complexity and applicable for all images sizes. To avoid revealing that the transmitted data is encrypted, this data is then hidden by coding it in the frequencies DCT coefficients of a transformed second image. The proposed approach presents more security and reliability for any kind of image data.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127130320","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 second low-complexity considered approach is the robust Doppler Spread estimation in the presence of residual carrier frequency offset which exploits the covariance matrix of the received signal. The third one uses reduced interference time-frequency distribution of the received signals. Simulation results shows that the second approach offers lower estimation error with a good compromise between computational complexity and estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125653566","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}
