The learning rate – considered as one of the most important parameters that govern the performance of the ARBF network - is investigated as well to reduce the system total error. Two methodologies are proposed to improve the estimation of the fundamental component of highly nonlinear current signal. One is based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the other is based on least mean square error (LMSE). The error between the reference signal and the reproduced signal (the sum of estimated fundamental and harmonic signals) is chosen as performance index. The obtained results unveil that both methodologies can be effective in enhancing the system accuracy, and that the proposed algorithm can provide better performance compared to the conventional RBF network.","PeriodicalId":29729,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70822539","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 proposed element structure consists of combining two simple wire dipoles in the horizontal and vertical positions to form a crossed dipole element. The array patterns of the horizontal and vertical dipoles alone share some common radiation feature such angular null positions which are exploited to provide sidelobe nulling. By properly scaling the array pattern of the horizontal dipoles and added or subtracted its array pattern from that of the vertical dipoles, a new array pattern corresponds to the crossed dipoles elements with controlled sidelobes pattern can be obtained. The scaling factor selects which sidelobes to be cancelled. The method is equally applied to the uniformly and nun-uniformly excited arrays.

To improve the energy and spectral efficiencies, the source and relay are powered by the energy, harvested from the primary transmitter. All the channel state information (CSI) is assumed to be available at the source and relay. Here, transmit antenna selection/maximal ratio combining (TAS/MRC) is also implemented at the secondary relay. Moreover, to enhance the security performance, MRC technique is utilized at both the destination and the eavesdropper. Precise closed-form secrecy outage performance for the secondary relay with an active eavesdropper is derived over Nakagami- m fading channel. The obtained results indicate that when the number of antennas - at the intermediate relay and/or destination - increases, the secrecy outage performance - of the proposed system model over Nakagami- m fading channel - enhances for large average channel gain in the main channel. The secrecy outage probability (SOP) is used in this work as a performance metric. It is found to be equal to 0.1 when setting 𝑚 = 1 for the Rayleigh fading channel, and greater than 0.01 when setting 𝑚 = 2 for the Nakagami- m fading channel.","PeriodicalId":29729,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70821760","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}

In this paper, a new methodology is introduced for handling transmission power loss allocation techniques for loop networks comprising renewable distributed generation. This necessitates an investigation of the effect of integrating renewable distributed generation on loss allocation among individual generators and loads of the network using different loss allocation techniques. Also, the effects of separate and simultaneous time variation of both loading and renewables generation are analyzed. The paper implements two different techniques for loss allocation, which are based on circuit laws and power flow solution. The techniques are applied on IEEE 14-bus system, where Photovoltaics and wind sources are optimally allocated. The results prove the considerable effect of different levels of loading and renewables output power on loss allocation. The proposed methodology maintains the accuracy of loss allocation with considering the time variations of loading and renewable generation. Also, it overcomes the problem of huge calculations for large systems and thus, reduces time consumption.

Kundy","doi":"10.5455/jjee.204-1610344139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/jjee.204-1610344139","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract— This article presents the performance evaluation of distribution static compensators (DSTATCOM) for the 180 km 33 kV line from Shinyanga to Bariadi in Tanzania. First, the voltage drop existing on the line is explained, and its negative consequences are mentioned. Secondly, the 180 km line is presented in the nominal π model. Then, DSTATCOM capacitive and inductive dynamic ranges of ±1900 kVAr are calculated based on the system fault level. Using the energy storage of five cycles, a DC capacitor with a value of 0.19 mF is calculated. The DSTATCOM is designed using the voltage source converters (VSC) employing the neutral point clamped (NPC) topology. A proportional integral (PI) control algorithm was implemented to the DSTATCOM. Simulation of the modeled system of the feeder with DSTATCOM is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment for different loading conditions (light and heavy loading) to evaluate the steady-state performance. Simulation results reveal that for the light load of 0.45 MW, the receiving end voltage is 37.2 kV RMS and 31.5 kV RMS, before and after application of DSTATCOM, respectively. For the heavy load of 4.5 MW, the results are 28.45 kV RMS and 33.1 kV RMS, before and after application of DSTATCOM, respectively. The frequency-domain analysis reveals a gain margin of infinity implying stable system operation. The Nyquist plot shows no encirclement of the negative one point, further verifying the stability. It is concluded that the proposed DSTATCOM is capable of keeping both the voltage drop and rise of the line at acceptable levels for system stability of the ShinyangaBariadi feeder.","PeriodicalId":29729,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70821508","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}

Yamamura, Shingo Sato","doi":"10.5455/jjee.204-1614579249","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/jjee.204-1614579249","url":null,"abstract":"This paper studies the phonon-limited electron mobility of the inversion layer at room temperature for ultra-thin body (001) Ge and (111) Ge layers in single-gate (SG) and double-gate (DG) germanium-on-insulator (GOI) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) aiming at future radio-frequency applications. Simulations are based on one-dimensional self-consistent calculations and relaxation time approximations. Assuming a 7.2-nm-thick GOI layer on (001) Ge surface, it has been demonstrated that intravalley phonon scattering in the DG GOI MOSFET inversion layer is strongly suppressed within a range of medium and high effective field values; DG GOI MOSFETs have higher phonon-limited electron mobility than SG GOI MOSFETs. The suppression of intra-valley-phonon scattering in a 7.2-nm-thick DG GOI MOSFET primarily stems from the reduction in the form factor at medium and high effective field values. However, it is shown that the use of the (001) Ge surface offers little merit in DG GOI MOSFETs because the mobility value is not large. It is demonstrated that the superior electron mobility on the (111) Ge surface of SG GOI MOSFETs confirms the significant merit of this structure with regard to applications because acoustic-phonon scattering events are significantly reduced in the non-degenerate L valley. Primary mechanism responsible for this fact is that some inter-subband form factors of electrons sharing the lowest subband of the non-degenerate L valley decrease at low effective field values, while the intra-subband form factor of electrons sharing the lowest subband of the non-degenerate L valley remains large. The expected phonon-limited electron mobility of SG GOI MOSFETs having a 4-nm-thick GOI layer, for example, with (111) Ge surface, is about 2300 cm2/V/s at the effective field of 0.5 MV/cm; this is about 400% of that of the equivalent SG GOI MOSFET with (001) Ge surface.
