Among all power disturbances, voltage sags are considered as the most frequent type of disturbances and their impact on sensitive loads is severe. To monitor these disturbances, voltage sag recorders (VSR) must be installed. However, installation of VSRs at all buses in the system is not economical and it needs to be minimized. This paper presents a sag monitor positioning algorithm which finds the optimal number and location of VSRs in the power distribution system. The IEEE 34-node test system was modeled in DIgSILENT software in obtaining monitor reach area matrix for various types of faults. Then, an optimization problem is formulated and performed using genetic algorithm to guarantee the observability of the whole system with minimum number of VSRs. A new index has been used to find the best location to install monitor in the distribution system.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116515059","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}

During integrated circuit (IC) infant mortality phase, stress tests introduced at wafer sort and final test in order to assured only good IC being deliver to end customer. Stress tests such as burn-in, gate stress, and quiescent current (IDDQ) test, demonstrated their competency to screen out this type of early failure. Nevertheless, the latent defect is a time dependent failure, which, affect the CMOS reliability after certain time, temperatures and application stress. Consequently, revise failure analysis technique has to be introduced in effective approach to compensate the problem in the current technology due to metal interconnection layers and dense for front side failure analysis (FA). The motivation of this work is to present the fault localization on the elevated IDD current of the faulty logic cells during the transition by photo localization technique and clarify gate oxide defect through circuit simulation. We have confirmed that the IDD scan test and photo localization technique were effective to localize faulty IC in silicon active area through front side.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127763869","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}

Due to multimedia demands, the UDP flows can also demand assured service. Hence, there is a need to protect certain UDP flows which require the same fair treatment as TCP. In such cases, the UDP flows are characterized as AS UDP with target rates and are modeled as CBR sources with fixed traffic rate. In such situations, to study the fairness issue, what should be the CB Rate of the traffic is a question. With a goal to enlighten this, simulations have been carried out with fixed target rates and varying CB rates. The simulations are carried out with the time sliding window based two color marker in NS-2 and their corresponding results being furnished. It is inferred that the CBR should be set at a value greater than the target rate of the UDP source to study its performance and fairness issues.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115011197","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 hybrid technique is derived from particle swarm optimization (PSO) by adding the passive congregation model. The tuning of the PSS parameters is formulated as the multi-objective function with constraints including the damping ratio and damping factor. Maximizations of the damping factor and the damping ratio of power system modes are taken as the goals or two objective functions, when designing the PSS parameters. The New England 16-unit 68-bus standard power system, under various system configurations and operation conditions, is employed to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. The results are very encouraging and suggest that the proposed PSO with passive Congregation (PSOPC) algorithm is very efficient in damping low frequency oscillations and improving the stability of power system.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124916430","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 neural network control has been simulated for commercial airplane i.e. Cessna 172 using the Flight Gear Simulator. The trained neural network control detects variations from the Flight Gear Simulator and supplies back the corrective signals to aileron, elevator, throttle, and rudder. The flight performance has been shown in the Flight Gear Simulator. The objective is to improve the performance of conventional landing, roll, pitch and altitude hold controllers.
