The proposed scheme is an alternative viable method to conventional means of no-load and blocked rotor tests. The identification of motor parameters is redrafted as a multi-objective optimization problem and solution is sought through conventional optimization method as well as genetic algorithm (GA). The conventional method employed is the well known Rosenbrock's (RB) rotating coordinates method. When the results of the two methods are analyzed, it is observed that while GA offers near optimal solution to the problem, the method of RB always results in global optima, provided initial values are chosen judiciously. Hence, it is proposed to combine these two methods to gain the advantages of both the methods. In such a hybrid optimization method, the task of global search is carried out by GA, while Rosenbrock's method is devoted to local search. Comparison of these two techniques are discussed and presented in conjunction with computed and practical results. It is shown that combination of GA with conventional method yields improved results.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134280048","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 optimizations are performed on two parameters: the location of the devices, and their values. Two different kinds of FACTS controllers are used for steady state studies: thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSCs) and thyristor controlled phase shifting transformers (TCPSTs). The proposed approach uses an index called the single contingency sensitivity (SCS) index to rank the system branches according to their suitability for installing TCSC and TCPST. Once the locations are identified, the problem of determining the optimal TCSC and TCPST parameters is formulated as an optimization problem and a GA based approach is applied to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem.

They are interpreted for creation of analysis, design and implementation artifacts, including user interface (UI). There is a very likelihood of inconsistencies in the interpretation of the Use Cases by different members of software development team. Various research efforts have been made to associate a formal model with the Use Cases to minimize such inconsistencies. In this paper we present a Use Case editor which uses restricted form of natural language and generates a finite state machine (FSM) model of the Use Case including UI requirements. The editor views a Use Case as an ordered set of event-response pair with parameters. These parameters provide input and output requirements of UI. The semantics of a Use Case and its events are captured in terms of pre and post conditions, which are used to generate states and transition rules of FSM. Both state and transition rules of FSM are represented as typed graph. UI implementation is also modeled as typed graph. We have defined consistency criteria between UI requirement and its implementation, and have used a graph based simulator tool, GROOVE for verification of consistency. The editor generates XML files compatible with GROOVE to facilitate this consistency checking.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116973501","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}

Simulation is carried out on frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel and antenna diversity is applied at base station (BS). Weight factors for diversity implementation are calculated based on the value of SIR (signal to interference ratio) of individual antenna system. GA is used to partition different users into groups of different blocks namely very strong, strong, weak and very weak based on the normalized magnitudes of their decision variables. We have reported the performance of the GA based block PIC system of four block, three block and two block with conventional PIC. A significant improvement in performance and capacity is seen with GA based block PIC relative to conventional PIC at the cost of slight increase in computation complexity. Simulation results show that BER is reduced as the number of users are divided into more number of blocks and the optimal partitioning of the blocks obtained by using GA.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117054074","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}

Tapped inductor provides better power density as compared to isolation buck converter. With a simple structure, the tapped-inductor buck converter shows promise for extending the duty cycle. This converter is cost effective and attractive for high performance. Furthermore, with the replacement of transformer by tapped inductor, its efficiency may be maximized for low power application and power quality is improved as low harmonics at input as well as output. The peak current of the main switch is reduced by tapped inductor operation, thus the conduction loss and switching loss levels of the main switch are lowered. Consequently, this tapped inductor scheme alleviates the severe power stress and enhances device utilization. This soft-switching buck converter is suitable for extremely low step-down ratio applications. The principle of the proposed scheme, analysis of the operation, and design guidelines are included. Finally, the experimental result of the 10 W prototype DC/DC converter is given for hardware verification.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117101919","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 poor decision on choosing T & M equipment for the measurement of data causes huge loss, which is irrecoverable. Before taking any final recommendations or decisions, the due importance is to be given to calibrated measurement data & the associated uncertainty.
