When series connected PV panels are not uniformly illuminated, local hot spots develop due to the increased stress on low illuminated PV panels. This may eventually cause permanent damage to the low illuminated cells/ panels. Anti-parallel diodes are normally connected to protect the panels from this kind of damage and this introduces multiple peaks in the power characteristics. This increases the burden on maximum power point algorithm and tracker as it has to track the global peak among the multiple peaks. Grouping of PV panels based on insolation is proposed in this work. Panels with same insolation are grouped together to form a string and these strings are then interfaced with an asymmetrical multilevel inverter for further power conversion. This paper further analyses the performance of the asymmetrical multilevel inverter controlled by different pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes under partial shaded conditions.","PeriodicalId":258978,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Circuits, Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128572286","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 performance evaluation of contrast enhancement algorithm is usually user defined and also depends on the image quality and application i.e., different images requires different types of algorithm to enhance. This paper deals with a new contrast enhancement algorithm, which maps elements from pixel plane to membership plane and to enhancement/transform plane. Shortcomings of existing contrast enhancement techniques are rectified with the help of a mathematical tool called `Fuzzy set'. These fuzzy sets can be moulded to manage the uncertainty and/or vagueness associated with images. To evaluate the performance, this new algorithm is applied on different images and few evaluation parameters are calculated, which proves the improvement over any other existing contrast enhancement techniques based on fuzzy sets.","PeriodicalId":258978,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Circuits, Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115278600","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}

Carry Select Adder (CSLA) is a fast adder used in data-processing processors for performing fast arithmetic functions. From the structure of the CSLA, the scope is to reduce the area of CSLA based on the efficient gate-level modification. In this paper 128 bit Regular Linear CSLA, Modified Linear CSLA, Regular Square-root CSLA (SQRT CSLA) and Modified SQRT CSLA architectures have been developed and compared. However, the Regular CSLA is still area-consuming due to the dual Ripple-Carry Adder (RCA) structure. For reducing area, the CSLA can be implemented by using a single RCA and an add-one circuit instead of using dual RCA. Comparing the Regular Linear CSLA with Regular SQRT CSLA, the Regular SQRT CSLA has reduced area as well as comparing the Modified Linear CSLA with Modified SQRT CSLA; the Modified SQRT CSLA has reduced area. The results and analysis show that the Modified Linear CSLA and Modified SQRT CSLA provide better outcomes than the Regular Linear CSLA and Regular SQRT CSLA respectively. This project was aimed for implementing high performance optimized FPGA architecture. Modelsim 10.0c is used for simulating the CSLA and synthesized using Xilinx PlanAhead13.4. Then the implementation is done in Virtex5 FPGA Kit.","PeriodicalId":258978,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Circuits, Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123440399","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}

It is important to define that noise is a significant problem in PD detection. Accordingly, the paper mainly deals with denoising of PD signals, based on improved WT techniques namely Translation Invariant Wavelet Transform (TIWT). The improved WT method is distinct from other traditional method called as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The TIWT not only remain the edge of the original signal efficiently but also reduce impulsive noise to some extent. Additionally Translation Invariant (TI) Wavelet Transform denoising is used to suppress Pseudo Gibbs phenomenon. In this paper an attempt has been made to review the methodology of denoising the partial discharge signals and shows that the proposed denoising method results are better when compared to other wavelet-based approaches like FFT, wavelet hard thresholding, wavelet soft thresholding, by evaluating five different parameters like, Signal to noise ratio, Cross correlation coefficient, Pulse amplitude distortion, Mean square error, Reduction in noise level.","PeriodicalId":258978,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Circuits, Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125396609","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}

As for as, Indian environmental condition concern constant flow of the wind is an unexpected one. During the soft start of the wind turbine a fluctuation occurred and due to the change in the flow of the wind the revolution speed is changed. At the same time the output voltage is directly proportional to the speed of the DC generator connected with the wind turbine. Due to the fluctuation in the flow of air the output voltage is greatly disturbed, so that it is important to boost up the voltage and get constant output. DC to DC boost converters are particularly useful in stepping up the voltage from a battery or DC generator to match the operating voltage range of inverter or constant voltage loads. Even though lot of converters are introduced, the novel and advanced converter using the snubber capacitor is used in this proposed converter, it has more advantage and making the switching of the switches soft and boosting the voltage higher than the conventional boost converter in the same frequency and in same duty cycle. Here how the output is being constant in the variable voltage condition of the wind turbine by the boost converter and parameters used are investigated. Moreover, the various mode of operation of the boost converter during the transient period is discussed. The simulation model is generated and outputs are obtained by using Matlab Simulink.","PeriodicalId":258978,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Circuits, Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129519864","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}

Its simple architecture coupled with increased speed forms an unparalleled combination for serving any complex multiplication computations. Tagged with these highlights, implementing this with reversible logic further reduces power dissipation. Power dissipation is another important constraint in an embedded system which cannot be neglected. In this paper we bring out a Vedic multiplier known as “Urdhva Tiryakbhayam” meaning vertical and crosswise, implemented using reversible logic, which is the first of its kind.
