Analysis of soluble and free gas is one of the most commonly used troubleshooting methods for detecting and evaluating equipment damage. Although the analysis of oil-soluble gases is often complex, it should be expertly processed during maintenance operation. The destruction of the transformer oil will produce some hydrocarbon type gases. The development of this index is based on two examples of traditional evaluation algorithms along with fuzzy logic inference engine. Through simulation process, the results of the initial fractures in the transformer are obtained in two ways by the \"Duval Triangle method” and \"Rogers’s ratios\". In continue, three digit codes containing the fault information are created based on the fuzzy logic inference engine to achieve better results and eliminate ambiguous zones in commonly used methods, especially in the “Duval Triangle method”. The proposed method is applied to 80 real transformers to diagnose the fault by analyzing the dissolved oil based on fuzzy logic. The results illustrate the proficiency of this alternative proposed algorithm. Finally, with utilization of a neural network the alternative practical inference function is derived to make the algorithm more usable in the online condition monitoring of power transformers.","PeriodicalId":312612,"journal":{"name":"ELEKTRIKA- Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122045187","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}

Though there are equipment specifically designed for solar radiation prediction but are very expensive and have high maintenance cost that most countries like Nigeria are unable to purchase. In this study, the accuracy of a hybrid PSO-ANFIS method is examined to predict horizontal solar radiation in Nigeria. The prediction is done based on the available meteorological data obtained from NIMET Nigeria. The meteorological data used for this study are monthly mean minimum temperature, maximum temperature, relative humidity and sunshine hours, which serves as inputs to the developed model. The model accuracy is evaluated using two statistical indicators Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of determination (R²). The accuracy of the proposed model is validated using ANFIS, GA-ANFIS models and other literatures. Based on the statistical parameters used for the model evaluation, the results obtained proves PSO-ANFIS as a good model for predicting solar radiation with the values of RMSE=0.68318, R²=0.9065 at the training stage and RMSE=1.3838, R²=0.8058 at the testing stage.

However, the NEM scheme (NEM 2016) still have a problem which is small size residential customers will not get benefited from the scheme in term of electricity bill savings. Therefore, the Malaysian government introducing a new NEM scheme (NEM 2019) to replace previous NEM scheme (NEM 2016) to overcome drawbacks of NEM 2016. This paper will investigate the performance of NEM 2019 overcome the previous problem by comparing the performance of NEM 2019 and against NEM 2016 in term of NPC (net present cost) and electricity cost savings by using HOMER software. The analysis is conducted on three different size of residential customers; small, medium and large with different PV panel sizes from 1kWp to 8kWp.

The high losses experienced at the distribution level of these systems has become a major concern to power system operators, with about 10-13% of the total generation being dissipated as heat. Maintaining the system voltage within an acceptable limit will go a long way in reducing these losses and enhancing the overall system operational capability. The objective of this paper is to improve the voltage magnitude and reduce overall power losses in an existing 50-bus radial distribution feeder via the allocation of Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) using an established bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) based model. The application of the swarm-based meta-heuristic model is extended to a three-quarter (75%) loading condition of the standard IEEE 33-bus test network and then, employed on the 50-bus Canteen feeder for both normal (100%) and three-quarter (75%) loading conditions. Comprehensive analysis was performed for both networks and the results were compared with their respective base-case scenarios. The final results of the evaluation obtained through simulation showed appreciable reduction in power losses and improvement in overall voltage profile with the allocation of DSTATCOM in both networks using the BFA based model. Voltage improvement in the region of 20.04% and active power loss reduction of 24.86% were recorded for three-quarter loading of the IEEE test network. For the 50-bus Canteen feeder, an overall voltage profile improvement of 6.13% and active power loss reduction of 22.84% were achieved for normal loading condition, whereas 2.99% and 19.71% improvement in total voltage profile and active power loss respectively were attained under three-quarter loading condition.","PeriodicalId":312612,"journal":{"name":"ELEKTRIKA- Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128446519","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}

This is achieved by introducing capacitive slots which neutralize inductive properties and generate left handed capacitive parameter. The three series slots in the patch contribute for bandwidth enhancement while two PIN Diode Switches provide multi-bands operation. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software is used to determine the operation and effectiveness of the proposed antenna. The approach has several notable merits which include improvement of spectrum utilization, minimize spectrum congestion, interference and provide bands selectivity. From the simulation results, it was found that, bandwidth was improved to 2.8 GHz which is equivalent to 82% fractional bandwidth. Also, it can switch to seven different frequency bands of operation with only two number of switches. The realized peak gain is 2.44 dBi and 3.15 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz respectively with average efficiency of 95%.

Propagation models such as the empirical, deterministic and theoretical models, which possess complex, inconsistent, time-consuming and non-adaptable features, have proven to be inefficient in designing of wireless systems, thereby resulting in the need for a more reliable model. Artificial Intelligence methods seem to overcome the drawbacks of the propagation models for predicting path loss. In this paper, the ANFIS approach to path loss prediction in the GSM and WCDMA bands is presented for selected urban areas in Nigeria. Furthermore, the effects of the number of Membership Functions (MFs) are investigated. The prediction results indicated that the ANFIS model outperformed the Hata, Cost-231, Egli and ECC-33 models in both Kano and Abuja urban areas. In addition, an increase in the number of MFs conceded an improved RMSE result for the generalized bell-shaped MF.

As a matter of fact, IEEE802.11ah suffers from a hidden node problem more than networks (IEEE 802.11a/b/n/ac) due to their wider coverage which is up to 1km, high number of devices they can support (over 8000 nodes to one AP) and frequent simultaneous sleeping and sending of the nodes (power saving mode).
