The goal of this study is to accurately distinguish between finger tremors of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders using a tri-axial gyroscope. Finger tremor is specifically studied here as compared to hand tremor since farther distance from radio-carpal joint results in better acquisition of tremor signal. This study is an effort towards providing physicians with a clinical decision support...
This work proposes a residential load management system using multiagent technology with the objective of cost and comfort management. Smart appliances in a residential unit are modelled as agents which are controlled using optimization algorithm. These agents cooperate and communicate with each other using agent communication language (ACL) to reduce electricity cost and high peaks without affecting...
This paper proposes a novel demand response (DR) mechanism based on real time electricity prices with the objective of cost reduction. The novelty of the proposed mechanism lies in the concept that electricity sub-prices are calculated based on the fraction of energy consumed by each unit/home. While, in traditional residential energy management programs, one DR signal applies to each associated unit...
In this paper, we investigate some aspects related to microgrid (MG) stability. Due to different applications of MG, its structure and deployment topology vary depending upon the nature of application and operating modes (islanded or grid connected). So, the stability of MGs varies accordingly. This paper precisely explains the stability aspects (e.g., phase angle and power losses) of remotely located...
Nowadays, crucial part of modern Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) is electric energy management. An active demand side management is very important feature of a Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) integrated within the BACS. Since demand value changes in time and depends on various events, factors and parameters, a demand elasticity model has been proposed to provide reliable information...
The modern malware poses serious security threats because of its evolved capability of using staged and persistent attack while remaining undetected over a long period of time to perform a number of malicious activities. The challenge for malicious actors is to gain initial control of the victim's machine by bypassing all the security controls. The most favored bait often used by attackers is to deceive...
In this paper a 77 GHz patch array radar is used in combination with the line processing and range Doppler algorithms to produce synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of automotive scenarios. Measurements are made using a linear rail unit and the images are briefly discussed. In the latter part of the paper, a position error investigation is carried out, where the measurements are customised to fit...
Human Activity Recognition (AR) using kinematic sensors is one of the widely used researched area based on Smartphone. Development in sensor networks technology provided birth to the applications that can give intelligent and amicable services based on the AR of people. Although, this technology supports analyzing different activities pattern, empowering applications to identify the activities performed...
With the development of the Smart Grid, Direct Load Control (DLC) can be implemented in such a way that consumer can be motivated to participate in it while satisfying ON/OFF constraints of his/her devices. This paper introduces the concept of Consolidated Demand Reduction Bid (CDRB) and develops a dynamic algorithm to compute the same for a consumer having a set of devices with different ratings,...
It was aimed to design an effective and efficient space frame chassis that satisfies the constraints and regulations of Formula SAE. The chassis design must be capable of being constructed from materials and resources available, while also considering other component requirements such as engine, drive train and suspension. This paper is a cognitive overview of CAE tools to design and manufacture a...
Advancement in demand side management strategies enables smart grid to cope with the ever increasing energy demand and provide economic benefit to all of it's stakeholders. Moreover, emerging concept of smart pricing and advances in load control can provide new business opportunities for demand side management service provider or aggregator. The aggregator act as a third party between the electricity...
Optimizing the operation of power generation systems is one of the core objectives of Smart Gird. The area of Smart Grid focuses on this issue is Demand Response (DR). DR is an essential tool to limit the demand to flatten spikes. This can reduce the need of peak power generation units which normally are less efficient and operational for only very short time interval. Eliminating the peak power generation...
