In the last decade there has been a trend towards the use of space vector PWM--IGBT inverters, due to easier digital realization and better utilization of the DC bus. Every power inverter produces a total harmonic distortion (THD) on its output that causes extra losses in stator of induction motors. By eliminating a number of low order voltage/current harmonics it is possible to reduce harmonic losses (stator losses) and mechanical oscillations in general. This could be achieved by implementing filters in the …

A power amplifier (PA) is an integral component of all base stations in wireless communication systems and is used for converting DC power supply into radio frequency output power, but PAs are highly nonlinear. To achieve high power conversion efficiency, the PA is operated near saturation, which causes intermodulation products and hence results in nonlinear distortion. Digital predistortion (DPD) is a technique used to compensate for the nonlinear distortion without compromising its efficiency. Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) systems use a carrier aggregation scheme to combine separate available bandwidths to deliver high data speeds. In this paper the …

Probabilistic Data Fusion Model For Heart Beat Detection From Multimodal Physiological Data, Tehseen Zia, Zulqarnian Arif

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Automatic detection of heart beats constitutes the basis for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and mainly relies on detecting QRS complexes. Detection is typically performed by analyzing the ECG signal. However, when signal quality is low, it often leads to the triggering of false alarms. A contemporary approach to reduce false alarm rate is to use multimodal data such as arterial blood pressure (ABP) or photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. To leverage the correlated temporal nature of these signals, a probabilistic data fusion model for heart beat detection is proposed. A hidden Markov model is used to decode waveforms into segments. A Bayesian network …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the major challenges in cloud computing is the development of a service-level agreement (SLA) negotiation framework using an intelligent third-party broker negotiation strategy. Current frameworks exploit various negotiation strategies using game theoretic, heuristic, and argumentation-based approaches for obtaining optimal negotiation with a better success rate (negotiation commitment). However, these approaches fail to optimize the negotiation round (NR), total negotiation time (TNT), and communication overhead (CO) involved in the negotiation strategy. To overcome these problems, certain researchers have exploited trade-off, concession, and behavioral learning strategies with varying degrees of sacrifices (reductions) in their concerned proposal generation. Such sacrifices can …

In this paper, the droop control is replaced by an analytical solution. The proposed approach of power sharing is power-angle control of distributed generators (DGs), such as voltage source converters, a type of DG with extrapolation of power injected to the connected bus. It is demonstrated …
