A single-phase, single-switch AC-DC converter topology based on non-isolated buck-boost converter is employed for power factor correction (PFC) and operated with voltage follower control in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation for sensor reduction. This PFC controller ensures near unity power factor in wide speed range of the drive while restricting the total harmonic distortion (THD) in AC mains current within the specified limits of the IEC standard. The proposed control scheme with PFC converter based PMBLDCM drive is designed, modeled and simulated in Matlab-Simulink environment for an air conditioner compressor driven through a 2 kW, 5.2 Nm PMBLDC motor. The obtained results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for power quality improvement at AC mains.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134006244","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}

Under these situations, it is primary objective of the operator to apply control action to bring the power system into the secure region. FACTS devices can play a very important role in power system security enhancement. Due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these devices optimally in the power system. In this paper, a real power flow performance index (PI) sensitivity based approach and the line outage distribution factor has been proposed to decide optimal location of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to enhance the security of the power system.

CAPTCHA provide a method for automatically distinguishing a human from a computer program, and therefore can protect Web services from abuse by so-called bots. Most CAPTCHA consist of distorted images, usually text, for which a user must provide some description. Unfortunately, visual CAPTCHA limit access to the millions of visually impaired people using the Web. The Audio/Voice based CAPTCHA was created to solve this accessibility issue, however, the security of Audio based CAPTCHA was never formally tested. Some Visual CAPTCHA have been broken using machine learning techniques, and we propose using similar ideas to test the security of Audio based CAPTCHA. Audio-based CAPTCHA is generally composed of a set of words to be identified, layered on top of noise. To analyze the security of CAPTCHA it is essential to break it. This breaking of Audio based CAPTCHA has two steps first remove noise and then convert it to text. This paper addresses algorithm for adaptive noise reduction from Audio based CAPTCHA and thus in turn help to determine strength of CAPTCHA. The result shows accuracy up to 80% for Audio based CAPTCHA taken from popular Web sites. Such accuracy is enough to consider these CAPTCHA can be broken after converting to Text form.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115705020","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 offset subtract or is used to reduce the offset which is arise due to the cross connected source coupled pair. Also the FWR is used for current rectification and summation in the RSSI.

The new idea of this architecture is to use pointers instead of the analog values. So it is possible to use a digital inference unit and the analog signals will he switched directly from the fuzzification unit to the defuzzification unit without distortion by the inference unit.
