Solar radiation and temperature are the main factor for which the electric power supplied by a photovoltaic system varies. The voltage at which PV module can produce maximum power is called ‘maximum power point’ (or peak power voltage).1–3 The main principle of MPPT is responsible for extracting the maximum possible power from the photovoltaic and feed it to the load via dc to dc converter which steps up/steps down the voltage to required magnitude. Various MPPT techniques have been used in past but Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithm is most widely accepted.4–6 P&O algorithm has also been shown to provide wrong tracking with rapidly varying irradiance.7–10 In this paper we are implemented neural network based MPPT method. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an artificial network that can able to mimic the human biological neural networks behavior. ANN widely used in modeling complex relationships between inputs and outputs in nonlinear systems. ANN can also be defined as parallel distributed information processing structure. The ANN consists of inputs, and at least one hidden layer and one output layer. These layers have processing elements which are called neurons interconnected together. To calculate error contribution of each neuron after a batch of data processing a method called ‘back propagation’ is used. Back propagation is commonly used by the gradient descent optimization algorithm to adjust the weight of neurons by calculating the gradient of the loss function. This technique is also called back propagation error. This is because the error is calculated at the output and circulated back through the network layers.11 Mathematical solar array modeling","PeriodicalId":44634,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars-Electronic and Electrical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82646128","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 fault location has high precision, and the protection has fast action speed. So, current transformer saturation low frequency oscillation and fault resistance cannot influence it. \u0000Fault location device (FLD) is installed at each substation in power grid, and travelling wave host computer is installed in control center. When a fault occurs, FLD records the switch operation information and the arrival time of the travelling wave, the information is then transmitted to the host computer.

The scope of the research is limited to MTN masts within Port Harcourt and 73 masts sites were sampled out of 812 MTN sites. The data used in this research are secondary data which were obtained from a recognized organization and these data were verified and organized to fit as input for the analysis intended. The methods adopted for this research were discriminant analysis, factor analysis, estimation factor analysis and cost benefit analysis. Results showed that the most occurred down time issue in the management of mast sites are the generator/power related issues and ranking them in order of importance, the power related issues are followed by the technical telecommunication issues and lastly access related issues. These down times identified were capable of causing down time to an average of 90 minutes daily which is 500% above the MTN/Ericsson SLA set minimum allowable (21.6 minutes). The cost benefit analysis from this research showed losses which could yield zero profit annually if the communication industry allows its down time to be greater than the mean calls from users of a base station especially when these calls happen during the down time duration. A control table to aid in the understanding of these down time effects was developed by varying the mean calls from a cell site, cost per minute rate and downtime duration. This distribution is aimed at aiding professionals in the telecommunication industry to see the future effect of down time on worst and best scenario of profit.","PeriodicalId":44634,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars-Electronic and Electrical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81461927","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}

Aim of this paper is to identify the factors that cause transmission and cease of transmission of a network management message of an ECU along with its application messages that controls the sleep/wake-up performance of other ECUs in the network. Strategy used here is, based on the root cause analysis of problems found in Display unit in vehicle environment, the functional CAN signals impacting sleep/wake-up behavior is re-mapped along with the state flow transition of AUTOSAR NM Algorithm. A re-defined test case design and simulation for vehicle model is created. Especially it focuses on validating the impact of functional CAN signals on DUT’s sleep/wake-up performance. The result includes, design and development of use case matrix(mapped with specification) to validate the impact of network management messages, its flow of transition as well as the impact of functional CAN messages on the sleep/wake-up behavior of DUT and on the system as a whole. Also a new set of system level defects identified across Audio and display units-based on the re-designed network management test procedure and simulation with Vector Canoe model (comprehensive software tool for development, test and analysis of entire ECU networks and individual ECUs.). This paper provides relevant design guidelines for acceptance testing of any communicative network that follows AUTOSAR standard and this can be deployed across programs/products. It concludes validation of network management functionality (AUTOSAR) shall not be restricted only to the transmission of network management (NM) message of an ECU, as well as shall consider application messages that triggers NM messages of other ECUs in the network.
