As of June 2011, the photovoltaic panel performance degradation rate is about 3.4% over 1.67 years, i.e. 2% per annum. The system's economic sustainability may be represented by an estimated payback period of 21 years at an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 2–4%. Once a higher feed-in tariff supported by the Renewable Energy Act 2010 takes effect, IRR will increase and payback time will fall. Environmental sustainability is supported by the panel manufacturer's written policy that it will collect and recycle panels free of charge.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130177877","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}

Deepthi","doi":"10.1109/STUDENT.2011.6089323","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/STUDENT.2011.6089323","url":null,"abstract":"The new advancement in technology made cell phone as a smart phone with highly computing capabilities and low processing power. Currently, achieving real-time image processing routines such as convolution, edge detection, thresholding and some of complex media applications is a challenging task with the smart phone, because of limited memory and power constraints. An open software framework, Symbian OS is used in cell devices to provide a good starting point for developing the multitasking kernel, integrated with communication protocols, data management and graphical user interface for reducing the total development time. To resolve the problems faced by image processing applications in cell phones, new application environment is developed. This environment provides the resources available in the operating system which runs on the hardware with complex image processing libraries. These papers presents the capturing of an image from the printed media, applies to image processing algorithms to scaling and translation of the image, wipe out the noise, background subtraction, image rotation and detect edges. The developed software chops the comics strip along border into individual units, store on the permanent memory and and display on the handset. Implementation of image processing algorithm using Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCv), with Visual C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and application Graphical User Interface is designed using Qt. Images are pre-processed with several image processing techniques, such as, RGB to Grey scale conversion, smoothening using Gaussian Filter, Histogram equalization, Detect Border (cumulative sum) and Set Region of Interest (ROI) crop. This developed software integrated in cells by the cross compilation of Qt and the OpenCV software for an Operating system. The result utilized the CANNY method in finding edges of the image using OpenCV. The integrated approach succeeded in cell phone by detecting the edges, chopping the images to required format of individual units, then stored it using OpenCV and finally displayed on a cell phone without any loss of image information. The impacts of memory latency, synchronization and the data management overhead are also studied and presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128274865","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 DE algorithm is one of the global optimizers that commonly used in solving real-time problems. In this work, the DE algorithm is combined with the conventional feed-forward artificial neural network in optimizing the solutions. The DE acts as an optimization technique used during evolution whilst the neural network operates as the controller in deciding the unit that should be spawned for mimicking the computer AI. The experimentation results show a group of mixed randomized opponent from a larger food limit can be defeated by the generated AI army using DE. Thus, it proofs that the DE used has successfully tuned the neural weights which acts as controllers in this tournament game. Furthermore, the generated controllers could decide the best units that should be spawned in defeating the opponent.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125251243","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, it is known that HRSG is a complex system with highly nonlinear characteristics and using conventional controller to control the system has brought a lot of drawbacks. Hence, to overcome these drawbacks, Fuzzy Logic Controller is employed to control the HRSG complex system. This paper discusses the design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller with three different membership functions which are 5, 7, and 9 that were used as pressure controller to control the input to HRSG based on the steam demand. The performances of the fuzzy logic controller were then compared with the classical PI controller.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126782084","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 system is capable of providing practically important traffic data which would aid in reducing the travel time for the users. Also, it can be used for other purposes like tracing of stolen cars, vehicles that evade traffic signals/tickets, toll collection or vehicle taxes etc. The system consists of a passive tag, an RFID reader, a microcontroller, a GPRS module, a high-speed server with a database system and a user module. Using RFID technology, this system collects the required data and calculates average speed of vehicles on each road of a city under consideration. It then transmits the acquired data i.e., average speed calculated at various junctions to the central computation server which calculates the time taken by a vehicle to travel in a particular road. Through Dijkstra's algorithm, the central server computes the fastest route to all the nodes (junctions) considering each node as the initial point in the city. Therefore, the system creates a map of shortest time paths of the whole city. This data is accessed by users through an interface module placed in their vehicles.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"322 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120892310","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}
