In this paper we investigate the temperature relationship of the channel on-resistance and gate threshold voltage of various GaN devices, using liquid nitrogen as an inexpensive and effective cryogenic medium. Two cascode-configuration high electron mobility transistors (Cascode HEMT) and two enhancement mode high electron mobility transistors (E-HEMT) devices, each from different manufacturers were selected to ensure a range of technologies were covered. The on-resistance of GaN devices was found to decrease approximately linearly with reducing temperature, until a knee-point is reached whereupon the on-resistance rises. One E-HEMT device did not reach a knee point, indicating the need for further testing at lower temperatures to determine whether, or where such a knee point exists. The device with the lowest normalised on resistance at -196.6°C exhibited 32.8% of its room temperature value, while the device with the highest normalised on resistance showed 89.3% of its room temperature value. It was also found that the gate thresh-old voltage shows temperature dependency. For both Cascode manufacturers, the threshold voltage increased linearly with decreasing temperature. For one of the E-HEMTs the threshold voltage increased non-linearly with decreasing temperature. For the other E-HEMTs the threshold voltage decreased linearly with decreasing temperature. Initial results indicate that GaN devices are compatible with operation in or near cryogenic environments. Further characteristics need investigation to fully confirm suitability. Output characteristics, as well switching rise and fall times may change in cryogenic conditions, potentially affecting suitability.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125655669","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, the novel multiple DG allocation method is proposed by considering loss reduction and curtailment. This method applies multi-objective optimization by using the weighted sum method. The power flow sensitivity analysis is utilized to construct power loss function for an optimization. The proposed method was tested on IEEE-33 bus systems with residential and commercial load profiles. Results showed that the proposed method can reduce power losses and DG curtailment for residential and commercial load profiles. The effect on sizing DG was also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130686668","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}

That is why early identification and treatment of lung cancer patients bear a huge significance in the recovery procedure of such patients. A lot of time, pathologists use histopathological pictures of tissue biopsy from possibly diseased regions of the lungs to detect the probability and type of cancer. However, this procedure is both tedious and sometimes fallible too. Machine learning based solutions for medical image analysis can help a lot in this regard. The aim of this work is to provide a convolution neural network (CNN) model that can accurately recognize and categorize lung cancer types with superior accuracy which is very important for treatment. We propose a CNN model with 15000 images split into 3 categories: Training, validation, and testing. Three different types of lung tissues (Benign tissue, Adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma) have been examined. 50 instances from every class were kept for testing procedure. The rest of the data was split as: about 80% and 20% for training and validation respectively. Eventually, our model obtained 98.15% training accuracy and 98.07% validation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132850777","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 terms of power grid modernisation, the IEC 61850 based communication and automation has been developed over the years to satisfy the requirements. Furthermore, the digital substation concept has emerged as one revolutionary idea that might change the future of substation automation. In PLN Indonesia, several hybrid-digital bays combining the IEC 61850 based process bus, merging unit, and conventional instrument transformer has been constructed recently. This idea promises excessive wire reduction using the digital substation concept for substation operation, control, and automation while still incorporating conventional instrument transformers, breakers, and disconnecting switches. This paper presents a comparative study of the hybrid digital bay implementation at PLN substations in Central Java from three different manufacturers. Technical and economic comparisons are delivered to exhibit benefits and drawbacks over the three designs. The future topology of the digital bay is also discussed to improve the technical design of the digital bay in Indonesia. The result shows that digital bay has brought investment cost reduction while also needs a specification standardisation to be optimally utilised.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124153081","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}

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) is an important operation in digital image compression and we considered utilizing accurate addition and approximate addition separately while calculating the DCT. Accurate addition was performed using the accurate adder and approximate addition was performed using different approximate adders. Accurate and approximate adders were implemented in an ASIC design environment using a 32-28nm CMOS standard cell library and in a FPGA design environment using a Xilinx Artix-7 device. Error analysis has been performed to calculate mean absolute error and root mean square error of approximate adders by considering one million random input vectors. It is observed that approximate adders help to better reduce the file size of compressed images than the accurate adder. Simultaneously, the approximate adders enable reductions in design metrics compared to the accurate adder. For a FPGA implementation, an optimum approximate adder achieves 8% delay reduction and 19.7% power reduction while consuming 47.6% fewer LUTs and 42.2% fewer flip-flops compared to the accurate FPGA adder. With respect to an ASIC based implementation using standard library cells, an optimum approximate adder achieves 27.1% delay reduction, 46.4% area reduction and 50.3% power reduction compared to a high-speed accurate carry look-ahead adder.","PeriodicalId":405859,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2021 - 2021 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114961021","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}
