State estimation provides accurate states of a power system in a real-time frame. The conventional meters, which are mostly installed in current smart grid systems are prone to provide wrong measurements to the estimator, which reduces the efficiency of the state estimation results. Over the last two decades, new and reliable meters have been introduced to electric utilities. For example, phasor measurement units (PMU), which are devices that can provide voltage and current phasors with a very high accuracy are readily available. However, they are expensive and need to be optimally placed on the smart grids. This paper presents a technique for optimizing the placement of PMUs, with the objective of improving the estimation performance using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The weighted least absolute value (WLAV) estimator, which is one of the well-established robust estimators, is being selected for simulation. The IEEE-14 and 30-bus power systems are chosen to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed optimal PMU placement.","PeriodicalId":228657,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd International Conference of the IEEE Nigeria Computer Chapter (NigeriaComputConf)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132603657","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 measurements data were collected for 4 weeks continuously for a period of 24 hours. The data gathered were used to determine the temporal variation of duty cycle in all the bands. The GSM 900 and GSM 1800 have average spectrum occupancy of 10%, and 9% respectively. The results showed some form of temporal variation due to variable activity in days and nights, weekdays and weekends. This is an effort to develop spectrum usage repository for big data analytic studies.

In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy approach is developed using two different optimizations of fuzzy inference system (FIS) (i.e. hybrid and backpropagation) to predict the treated Turbidity at Tamburawa water treatment plant (TWTP). Subsequently, a neuro-fuzzy ensemble technique was applied to improve the performance of the two optimizations. For this purpose, the daily recorded data of turbidity (TurbR) (μs/cm), conductivity (CondT) (mS/cm), total dissolve solid (TDSR) (mg/L), chloride (mg/L) and suspended solid (SSR) (mg/L) and Hardness (HardnessT) (mg/L) from TWTP were obtained. The predictive models were evaluated based on two numerical indicators (determination coefficient and root mean square error). The obtained results indicated that neuro-fuzzy hybrid increased the performance accuracy of neuro-fuzzy backpropagation optimization up 16% and 15% in both the training and testing phase respectively. For neuro-fuzzy ensemble results, the performance proved that hybrid ensemble increased the prediction efficiency of backpropagation ensemble up to 18% in the testing phase. Hence, for the prediction of Turbidity in TWTP both the hybrid FIS optimization and ensemble hybrid FIS optimization showed excellent accuracy while for its recommended to employed ensemble techniques in case of backpropagation FIS optimization. The ensemble methodology proved to be implemented as a real-time prediction model that can provide a brilliant approach for environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":228657,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd International Conference of the IEEE Nigeria Computer Chapter (NigeriaComputConf)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114234863","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}

Early diagnosis of cataract enables quick intervention and treatment. This paper presents a web-based Computer Aided Diagnostic for cataract detection system using Convolutional Neural Network that can be used by any nonprofessional outside the clinic environment.

Therefore, this paper discusses the validation of FCS for a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV, whose service ceiling is 15,000 ft., having an endurance of up to 20 hours. A six degrees of freedom (DOF) aircraft model was used to test both the longitudinal and lateral/directional stabilities of the aircraft. Conceptual design parameters were used to generate both the dimensionless and derivatives of the MALE UAV using the AVL software. The results generated from AVL were validated using the digital DATCOM applications and both applications gave satisfactory results though with slight variations in the values of the coefficients obtained from both applications.","PeriodicalId":228657,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd International Conference of the IEEE Nigeria Computer Chapter (NigeriaComputConf)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114657488","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}

Therefore, the different velocities and angles of movement of the mobile users leads to excessive scanning process between neighboring cells and poses an inherent delay in the handover decision. In this paper, we present a modified handover decision algorithm whereby pedestrians and motorcyclists access the same small cell thereby reducing the scanning for different target small cells.
