Many of the electrical systems throughout the world are experiencing problems with aging insulation. When an insulation system fails, the results are usually catastrophic. Insulation failure can cause sustained interruption which can cause substantial financial loses due to lost production and damage to expensive equipment. These losses can amount to thousands of ringgit (RM) per hour. With the ability...
With the introduction of multi-core processors, a balance between access contention of the cache and availability of cached data for multiple cores has to be addressed. Processor manufacturers are finding this compromise through a combination of private and shared cache structures, where the last level cache (LLC) may not be shared across all processing cores. This poses an interesting opportunity...
In most parts of the world, the quality of the electrical power has become a major concern for many electricity users especially the industrial customers. To the power utility, all power quality disturbances must be detected, classified and diagnosed accurately so that proper mitigation measures can be implemented. This paper presents the application of the S-transform and support vector machine (SVM)...
Current proportional thread-fair scheduling algorithms allocate CPU resources based on the total weight of runnable threads in the system instead of the total weight within runnable processes. This results in starvation issue in multithreading environments as the scheduler prefers processes with larger number of threads. We illustrate this issue through experimental evaluations on the Linux completely...
This paper proposes a new probabilistic method for maximum temperature forecasting in short-term electrical load forecasting. The proposed method makes use of Gaussian process (GP)of the kernel machine to evaluate the predicted temperature. In recent years, electric power markets become more deregulated and competitive. The power system players are concerned with maximizing a profit while minimizing...
This paper investigates a ARM and FPGA-based hybrid-processors real-time embedded Linux platform. This platform is designed as a general purpose embedded system that can be fitted into a number of applications such as digital controller, embedded web server or base station in wireless sensor networks. However, its hybrid-processors feature makes it a perfect experimental platform for scientific research...
This paper presents a vector median filter that includes a new mechanism for the detection of impulses in color images prior to further processing operations. The proposed filter has been tested for images corrupted by two sided fixed impulse noise model. If the central vector pixel in a kernel is found to be corrupted, it is replaced by the vector median of the kernel, else it is kept unchanged....
We describe the implementation and evaluation of a network simulator 2 (NS-2) module for the datagram congestion control protocol, or DCCP. Our module, based on an updated standard described in RFC 4340, attempts to model the behavior and performance of the two currently defined congestion control identifiers CCID2 and CCID3. The behavior, throughput, and fairness of DCCP in comparison with TCP were...
Takagi-Sugeno models are an important class of fuzzy rule based oriented models, generally used for prediction and control. Fuzzy clustering is one of effective methods for identification. In this method, we propose to use a fuzzy clustering method (Kernel based fuzzy c-means method) for automatically constructing a multi-input fuzzy model to identify the structure of a fuzzy model. To clarify the...
