Abstract: This paper focuses on detail comparison between two common control methods including Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Direct Torque Control (DTC) of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) motor. The main characteristics of the motor such as torque, flux and speed under different operation conditions are studied and the advantages of FOC and DTC are obtained. It can be concluded that although both the DTC and FOC methods have different structures but the motor has the same behavior on the control methods. Thus, it is concluded that both the methods can be implemented as the Direct Flux Ccontrol (DFC) and can be applied as an optimized method of PMS motor control in the industry applications.

Abstract: Safe and un-interrupted power transmission requires a widespread use of control and protection equipment to avoid fault propagation in power network. Protection systems have been used to detect faults and block them to strike the high voltage lines. The teleprotection system continuously sends commands to remote substation in case of fault identification. Thus, the reliability and transmission time are vital issues to avoid intolerable errors. Teleprotection systems are interface between protection system and communication equipment. This paper proposes a digital teleprotection system to connect to digital communication network. The system is based on line interfaces and in accordance to ITU-T G.703 standard (64kbps and 2Mbps rates). Furthermore, the system benefits from the analog interface and direct analog voice band or optical fibers connection using eight independent commands. The system supports 8 channels simultaneously while its transmission time is 4ms at most.

Abstract: Metal-Semiconductor-Metal is one of the photodetectors that uses in optical detection. The characteristic of these detectors is improved by Plasmonic Science. Some of these characteristics include higher sensitivity, greater efficiency and improved optical absorption coefficient. Our predictions and the numerical results show high absorption in plasma-based combination of Metal-Semiconductor-Metal photodetectors in embedded Nano-grating and Metallic nanoparticles. The results of the simulation using FDTD simulation software shows that by optimizing the Nano grating metal parameters and embedded metallic nanoparticles, higher electric field is obtained, leading to higher absorption compared with the conventional Metal-Semiconductor-Metal detector. This higher absorption is because of the higher ability of embedded metallic nanoparticles in absorbing the light and scattering properties by conduction electrons via stimulated resonance light from metallic nanoparticles.

Abstract: Electrical Fast Transients (EFT) pulses may cause a large number of circuits to fail. Switching power supplies, inductors, contact relays, and high voltage switches electrically or electromagnetically strike the data, address and control lines of processors, memory elements, or even analog parts and leads to soft or permanent errors. In general, compliant test is accomplished to address the susceptibility of circuits to EFT pulses. However, extremely high cost of these tests encounters the compliant test with difficulty. As a result, in this paper a low-cost EFT simulator circuit is proposed to locate the vulnerable parts of the circuit. The approach is easily applicable to any point of any circuit. The design is performed such that the proposed circuit does not damage the Equipment Under Test (EUT). Experimental results show that the proposed approach effectively detects the vulnerable circuits and practically has been used at the design phase of the DTPS-8C device.

Abstract: In this paper, two useful techniques of Dynamic Threshold Voltage MOSFET (DTMOS) and Positive Feedback Amplifier (PFA) are investigated separately and are applied simultaneously on a Class-AB Amplifier in the 180 nm CMOS technology. In the first proposed technique, Simulation results show that operating voltage can be limited to ±0.5 V in which the voltage gain and bandwidth are 52.6 dB and 103.51 MHz, respectively. In the second proposed technique, the power consumption is reduced more than 50%, the open-loop gain is enhanced 47% and Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) improves to 86.5 dB. By applying combination of these two techniques for designing the amplifier, CMRR increases to 92.1 dB and the power consumption reduces to 97 µW with the bandwidth of 59.12 MHz.

Abstract: The system's ability to adapt and self-organize are two key factors when it comes to how well the system can survive the changes to the environment and the plant they work within. Intelligent control improves these two factors in controllers. Considering the increasing complexity of dynamic systems along with their need for feedback controls, using more complicated controls has become necessary and intelligent control can be a suitable response to this necessity. This paper briefly describes the structure of intelligent control and provides a review on fuzzy logic and neural networks which are some of the base methods for intelligent control. The different aspects of these two methods are then compared together and an example of a combined method is presented.

Abstract: IP-based networks developments highly integrate the communication systems and significantly reduce the installation cost. Digital PLC systems with the capability of Ethernet and VoIP services are designed because of the demand of new communication services in the electric power industry. Also due to the limited bandwidth in digital PLC systems, there are several techniques for optimal use of transmission capacity. In this paper, the possibility of using VoIP services in digital PLC systems has been investigated. Many conventional standards are studied for several parameters such as total algorithm delay, voice payload size/duration, packets per second, and bandwidth to select the best codec. Finally, a proper codec is recommended to employ in the digital PLC's VoIP service according to the two important factors in quality of voice services, i.e. available bandwidth and latency.

Abstract: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol known as interior gateway of routing protocol is a major competitor for Cisco's EIGRP of a special routing protocol. Most attacks on this protocol are based on LSA fake router which the attacker has control over it. These attacks can affect the part of the routing domain or cause severe damage based on the strategic location of the router in the AS to bring domain routing. Attacks that cause much damage to a network security mechanism and enables fight-back will not have effect on routing domain. In this paper we will describe an attack that can arbitrarily change the routing domain routing table with harmfully threats without fight back mechanism enabled.

Abstract: Global demand growth for electric energy has speed up development in designing power systems in order to meet users' needs for providing reliable, cheap and high quality electric energy. In power networks the first zone of distance relay is considered as main protection for transmission lines. Zones 2 and 3 of this relay are considered as supporting protection for next lines. Distance relay can be affected by many factors which are not clear and definite. These factors which are considered as uncertainties are fault resistance, fault in measurement transformers, ground resistance, and change in structure and exploitation conditions. In this article we prove their considering uncertainties approaches zone 1 distance relay extent to 100 percent of protected line provides more reliable protection for transmission lines.

Abstract: The most important part in chemical processes, which is directly related to energy consumption, is heat exchanger. Main purpose of heat exchanger is transferring heat from hot fluid to cold fluid. There are different heat exchangers in industry, which their common types are shell and tube heat exchangers. In these heat exchangers, one fluid flows in tubes and the other in shell around tubes. In heat exchangers, one of the important issues is reaching output fluid temperature to given temperature in the least possible time. In this paper, PID controller along with forward-feeding controller was designed to control output fluid temperature of a shell and tube heat exchanger. First, process mathematical modeling is done using experimental data, and then the controller is designed. Designed controller regulates output temperature of heating fluid to a desired point in the least possible time without considering a non-linear process. Then, controller performance is evaluated by unit step response analysis and performance indicators related to the control system. Modeling all processes and designing controllers are done in MATLAB software Simulink.

Abstract: The propagation characteristics of Electro Magnetic (EM) waves in the soil and also the significant differences between the propagation in the air prevent us from obtaining one direct feature for Wireless Underground Channel. In fact, the underground environment consists of soil, rock and water instead of the air. The challenging reasons of these environments to propagate the wireless signal via the Electro Magnetic (EM) 1 waveguides are considered as: the high path loss, channel dynamic conditions and the high size of antenna. In this study, the details of Bit Error Rate (BER)2 for 2PSK modulations, path loss and the bandwidth of the Magnetic Induction (MI) 3Systems in the underground environment via one small induction coil were evaluated .At the end of this study, a general framework is obtained about the wireless underground communications and wireless underground sensor network. It is concluded that using the proposed framework, the transmission range in MI waves system would be raised and the path loss in that system would be declined severely.

Abstract: Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the commonly used non-invasive techniques for understanding the brain functions. This paper presents a method for removing electroocular (EOG) artifacts in the electroencephalogram (EEG). A new adaptive radial-basis function- networks- (RBFN-) for the adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) problem is proposed. Also, the algorithm of structure identification and parameters adjustment is developed. The proposed RBFN approach implements Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy systems, functionally. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive RBFN can remove the noise successfully and efficiently with a parsimonious structure.

Abstract: Increasing energy consumption, finite energy resources, negative effects of excessive use of energy on environment, and increasing energy price forces administrators and consumers to look for different ways of saving and accurate consumption. Implementing smart systems and managing energy consumption in buildings are examples of applying modern technology. Implementing this technology not only reduces energy consumption, but also provides appropriate situation and increase the welfare of residents. This research studies the concept of Building Management System (BMS) in construction industry, especially reviews some communicative protocols in building management system, and after comparing and analyzing them, proposes X-10 protocol in home automation from cost, time consuming and simplicity of installation aspects.

Abstract: Aircraft systems are inherently unstable systems. The equations governing the motion of an aircraft are a very complicated set of six non-linear coupled differential equations. The linearized equation around the operating point is simulated in simulink MATLAB software. Also, the linear part of the system of nonlinear equations is simulated in simulink MATLAB software. In this study, combinations of PD controllers with fuzzy controller in a unity feedback system has been employed. This paper gives a comparison between the two types of FLC type-1 and type-2 in order to show the great effect of the new type of FLCs in reducing overshoot of the step response and improving the robustness of the system.
