The problem found is the difficulty to maintain the output voltage and frequency of single-phase induction motor when operated as an electric induction generator especially during fluctuation of the load due to the un-linearity behaviour of the induction machine. The common way to control voltage and frequency is applying electronic load controller by adjusting dummy load power to compensate the fluctuation of the real load. This research proposes additional secondary voltage control on the system by adjusting the capacitance value of the capacitor connected to the auxiliary winding in order to compensate the fluctuation of the output voltage.","PeriodicalId":225743,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Conference on Quality in Research (QiR) : International Symposium on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131926081","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 4G/LTE applications use frequency bands 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2300 MHz. Therefore, an alternative to support all these bands in one antenna is to design a wideband antenna. To achieve the antenna specification that has the characteristics of wideband, one of the methods that can be used is to add parasitic elements in a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The antenna design uses FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.6 and substrate thickness 1.6mm.

By using this technique, frequency band is obtained at 793.66 MHz up to 2501.34 MHz and have a bandwidth of 1707.64MHz. Approaching omnidirectional radiation pattern is obtained at the frequency of 850–900 MHz and significant changes in the 1800–2300 MHz frequency. Gain increases with increasing operating frequency.

The sun light intensity can be influenced by various factors such as the cloudy or sunny weather, which causes large changes in the generated voltage of the solar panels. To compensate for the variation of generated voltage when the light intensity is low, it should be boosted, and when the light intensity is high, it should be bucked and controlled to reach the required output voltage. And furthermore, the output voltage should be maintained to a desired DC voltage to be applicable for electrical households. A Fuzzy Logic controller is designed to control the duty cycle of a PWM signal generated to control the switching period to regulate the output voltage of the system. This paper discusses the design and control of a buck-boost converter for solar panels of the power range 50–100W, which can be used in household apparatus.

Generally, the upscaling of dye-sensitized solar cell for daily utilizations necessitates the interconnection of multiple cells to form modules. In this regard, the use of screen-printing method could provide a major benefit to fabricate such structure as it is feasible for industrial and large scale manufacturing process. This contribution describes the fabrication of a 100 × 100 mm2 dyesensitized solar module using semi-automatic screen-printing technique. The fabricated modules comprised of 7 individual cells made from titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocrystalline films, each with an active area size of 10 × 70 mm2, giving an active area ratio of 70%. The cells were connected to the neighboring cells in a parallel configuration. To simulate the potential of the fabricated modules for indoor applications, the current-voltage characteristics of the module were measured under an ambient lighting with an intensity of 30 mW/cm2. The parallel interconnected dye-sensitized solar module produced an open circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.71 V with a short circuit current (ISC) of 21.73 mA and maximum power output (Pmax) of 4.19 mW. Overall, the fabricated module achieved a power conversion efficiency of 1.99%. A secondary measurement under simulated sun with an intensity of 50 mW/cm2 (0.5 Sun) was also carried out to compare the performance of the modules under different environment. Under the later condition, the VOC, ISC, Pmax, and efficiency obtained were 0.77 V, 27.64 mA, 5.47 mW, and 0.15%, respectively. Our results indicated that the dye-sensitized solar module with integrated parallel connection has a prominent advantage to be applied as an energy source for applications that requires high current input under low-light condition.","PeriodicalId":225743,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Conference on Quality in Research (QiR) : International Symposium on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133615794","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}

However, some problems are still remaining and should be solved to develop THz technology system for an actual use, such as expensive fabrication facilities, lack of recent device performances, and low speed measurement process. This research proposes a bow-tie antenna in the THz region to provide wideband bandwidth for THz broadband applications. This antenna uses high resistivity Silicon material a substrate and Gold metal layer in a specified pattern as a radiating element. The initial bow-tie antenna design is elaborated by combining a capacitive bar technique placed near the antenna feed gap to improve return loss and wide bandwidth. This research is conducted by using the calculation method to analyze the initial antenna model and simulation by using commercial simulator software of CST Microwave studio to perform design optimization. The initial antenna before combined with the capacitive bar has a resonant frequency of 1 THz with return loss (RL) at −11.758 dB, and bandwidth 114.6 GHz from VSWR equal 2. The results from the THz bow-tie antenna combined with the capacitive bar show resonant frequency at 1 THz with RL at −40 dB, and bandwidth 457.47 GHz from VSWR equal 2.

The performance characteristics of double coupler structured single ring resonator has been discussed so far but the effect of coupling coefficient variation has not been discussed yet. Meanwhile, in previous research we have investigated the effect of coupling coefficient variation on single coupler structured single ring resonator. Now, we explore further the effect of coupling coefficient variation on the power transfer function output of a double couplers structured single ring resonator. Besides, single beam and double beams inputs are utilized to get the transmission powers as the output characteristics from both of drop and through ports of the ring resonator. The simulation results show, for the drop port output, as the higher coupling coefficient is, the peak of the power transfer function output gets higher for both the drop port output of single beam input and double counter directional inputs, but the double counter directional inputs, shows the peak of the power transfer function output much higher compared to its of the single beam input. Meanwhile for through port output, the result with double parallel inputs configuration shows a bit different behavior with its of single beam configuration, where as the result of the double parallel input configuration exhibits peak of the power transfer output almost similar to the simulation result utilizing single ring resonator with single coupler configuration that has already published previously.
