    ;
    Driving ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer (UPZT) at maximum performance in real-time operations is a very challenging task due to the deterioration problem of ultrasound output causing by human-skin impedance fluctuations. This paper proposed ideas and solutions on how to maximize the UPZT driving circuit performance in or deter to solve the deterioration problem. A newly-designed feedback control block with a phase-locked-loop (PLL) technique controlled by microcontroller has been added to the conventional UPZT driving circuit to ensure the automatic resonance frequency tuning and tracking capabilities. After intensive experiments, it is clear that the proposed technique works flawlessly and much more efficient compared to the conventional one. The experimental results also confirm that the percentage of error in tuning to the desired frequency is less than ±0.2% and the speed of tuning convergence time is between 9-12 milliseconds on average.

    ANC System Modeling and Simulations in a Wide-Area Virtual Environment Using FDTD Approach with Perfectly Matched Layer Absorbing Boundaries
    (2021-12-01)
    Sookpuwong, Chadaporn
    ;
    This paper presents a model and simulation results of the active noise control (ANC) system in a wide-area virtual environment using the acoustics finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) propagation approach defined by particle velocities and sound pressure level (SPL) within a certain absorbing boundary conditions called a perfectlymatched layer (PML) technique. The ANC excitation applies a single-frequency noise source with an adaptive feedforward configuration. The FDTD algorithm is used to model the area of interest acoustically, including a desired quiet zone, considering the effects from a primary path, a secondary path, and a feedback path. A processing unit of the ANC system based on the least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm is utilized to synthesize a cancelling noise using a secondary loudspeaker. A single-channel feedforward ANC system used in this paper is modified from the proposed multi-channel models and forms. Acoustics FDTD propagation results can be used to determine the optimum placements for ANC sensors and actuators. The SPL numerical and graphical results are plotted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed ANC system. All of the simulation results confirm that the proposed modeling approach can be combined with wide-area acoustic simulations and a feedforward LMS adaptive algorithm. The proposed model also provides a way for the optimum placement of the ANC sensors and actuators before being used in a more-complex practical environment

    The emerging energy crisis resulting from a high price of crude oil has drawn attention about renewable energy all over the world. Thailand is a developing country located at the heart of Southeast Asia, with about 66 million of population as of 2006. The electricity supply industry structure under the government of Thailand has been managed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, and the Provincial Electricity Authority for almost 50 years. According to the 2004 Power Development Plan, the country would have generation reserve at a marginal of 15%. Due to the rapid economic growth and difficulty in building new centralized generating facilities, this has the potential to create a security issue of electricity energy shortage and may develop a severe system blackout. Renewable energy issues have been widely discussed and debated over the country. Although solar energy is the most prominent renewable energy source due to the appropriate geographic of Thailand, it is still considered as a low-density energy source which requires a large area of installation. Therefore, for the long-term investment, wind power seems to be a good candidate because it is quick to install, needs no fuel cost, and is environment friendly. Therefore, this paper investigates the impact of the penetration level of wind power generation to be integrated into the Thailand system. System stability has been observed in various system configuration changes due to different control strategies of wind farms. The economic analysis of wind-farm investment has been also considered. © 2008 IEEE.

    This paper presents four optimization outcomes for a diesel generator (DG), photovoltaic (PV), and battery hybrid generating radial system, to reduce the network losses and achieve optimum generated power with minimum costs. The effectiveness of the four utilized meta-heuristic algorithms in this paper (firefly algorithm, particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and surrogate optimization) was compared, considering factors such as Cost of Energy (COE), the Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP), and the coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>). The multi-objective function approach was adopted to find the optimal DG allocation sizing and location using the four utilized algorithms separately to achieve the optimal solution. The forward-backward sweep method (FBSM) was employed in this research to compute the network’s power flow. Based on the computed outcomes of the algorithms, the inclusion of an additional 300 kW DG in bus 2 was concluded to be an effective strategy for optimizing the system, resulting in maximizing the generated power with minimum network losses and costs. Results reveal that DG allocation using the firefly algorithm outperforms the other three algorithms, reducing the burden on the main DG and batteries by 30.48% and 19.24%, respectively. This research presents an optimization of an existing electricity network case study located on Tomia Island, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    A superior alternative to the conventional hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide (HMI) luminaires, high power light emitting diode (HP-LED) luminaires are increasingly being utilized in numerous modern lighting designs and applications. Specifically, this research is concerned with the comparative optical and electrical performance and engineering economic analysis of Fresnel-type HMI and HP-LED luminaires for studio lighting applications in the experiments conducted in a real studio environment. The findings revealed that, optically, the Correlated color temperature, luminous flux, luminous intensity and illuminance of the experimental HP-LED and HMI luminaires were comparable. The Color rendering index of the HP-LED was higher and its beam/spread output was more controllable. In the electrical aspect, the results showed that the HP-LED luminaire required significantly less power while producing lower %THD<inf>v</inf> and %THD<inf>i</inf> vis-à-vis the HMI counterpart. The payback period for the replacement of HP-LED luminaires was around 7 years and 7 months, which was shorter than the project life of 15 years. The commercial prospect of HP-LED luminaires is thus brighter as an excellent substitute for the conventional HMI luminaires in myriad applications, particularly in studio lighting for photography, cinematography, and broadcasting.

    Performance comparisons between a single-channel feedforward anc system and a single- channel feedback anc system in a noisy-enviroment classroom
    (2017-10-27)
    Sookpuwong, Chadaporn
    ;
    Adaptive or Active Noise Control System (ANC) is now widely used in many applications. The problem of interference or noise cancellation is one of the main focuses of the ANC solutions. In this paper, two classic ANC systems called a single-channel feedforward system and a single-channel feedback system will be simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment for a demonstrative university classroom. This circumstance becomes an interesting issue since the aforementioned classroom is located right next to one of Asia Pacific's largest international airport in Bangkok City, Thailand. A very lousy-noise environment occurs when the time of airplane taking off and landing. Unfortunately, such a noisy environment happens almost every other minute on average. The main idea of this paper is trying to lower the level of the noise during those critical times in the classroom. Two simple ANC systems are brought into account here to see how they perform in resolving the problems in this particular circumstance. The least mean square (LMS) method is used for updating the weight vector in ANC control block diagram in order to achieve the optimal weight vector resulting in minimal errors. How to find bounds on the step size, how to estimate the rate of convergence and the steady-state errors of the proposed LMS method are also elaborated in this paper. The simulation results between two ANC systems will be presented in terms of noise attenuation capabilities and system performances. The discussions and the conclusions presented in this research paper will be used for further analysis to improve the selected ANC system performance before implementing in the real environment in a very near future to come.
