Balancing Charging System Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Based On CUK Converter

In a battery set, there is always a voltage difference caused by charging and discharging. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the condition of the battery or State of Charge (SOC) so that it is in a balanced state between the batteries. Unbalanced battery conditions result in decreased performance of the battery. For that we need a balancing circuit that works actively with the help of a DC-DC converter. DC-DC converters generally have a principle like a buck-boost converter to increase and decrease the output voltage, however the output still has a fairly large ripple in the waveform. Therefore, the CUK converter is used which is a development of the buck-boost converter topology, where the output of this CUK converter has smaller ripples because it uses two capacitors and two inductors. Of the various methods used to adjust the duty cycle of the CUK converter, a precise and accurate algorithm is needed to overcome the instability of the converter output. The method used to adjust the duty cycle uses the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) algorithm as the development of the Fuzzy method. The system is implemented using MATLAB Simulink software. The simulation results show that the output of the CUK converter with the ANFIS method has a faster response speed reaching a set point of 1.95 × 10-4 seconds and the accuracy of the output voltage with ANFIS is 99.94% while the accuracy of the output converter current using ANFIS is 65.7%.Keywords: ANFIS, balancing, battery, CUK converter, state of charge (SOC).15

Non-Inverting Cascaded Bidirectional Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter with Average Current Mode Control for Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

In order to develop renewable energy, it also needs to enhance the developing of supporting elements. For example, lithium-ion batteries as a component of energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) have been chosen as energy storage devices for portable equipment, unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and grid storage systems. But there is a problem such as the process of charging the battery for UAV. Conventional converters used in those chargers have disadvantages such as limited power, lower voltage gain and also high current stress. Therefore, such converters are not efficient to be used for charging the battery. This paper proposes a cascaded bidirectional buck-boost converter for charging the battery. This converter can be operated bidirectional and have better rated power and higher voltage gain. Also, this topology has the same polarity with the input. From the test results, the converter can work in either forward or backward power flow. This converter is working in both buck or boost mode and has an efficiency of 83% in buck mode and 81% for boost mode. The charging process is about 83 minutes until SOC approximately 90 – 95.Keywords: battery charger, cascaded bidirectional buck – boost converter, constant current, li-ion introduction.

DEVELOPMENT OF OPTICAL TRANSDUCER ON FABRICS FOR THE APPLICATION OF LIQUID CLUSTERING USING REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY

Recently, usage of fabrics as wearable device, along with their applications are increasing, one example being the detection of bio-analyzes such as blood or sweat. One method used to observe the properties of the material of a fabric is to use the Refcletance Spectroscopy, in which excitation of monochromatic light with a specific wavelength is given to a fabrics. Intensity value is then processed using the PCA method in order to obtain the pattern of the difference between each substrate. The proposed transducer optic system consists of 405nm blueviolet laser as the light source, biconvex lens, Adafruit AS7262 light detector, and Arduino. This system can only detect the difference in substrate content from the occurring light scatter. This system can be applied to various kinds of fabric wearable material with differing scatter intensity values depending on the kind of fabrics. Softer kind of fabric is proposed as material for the wearable device because it gives a high scatter intensity value and constant values in every repetation which results in better data reading.Keywords: clustering, optical, reflectance, spectroscopy, transducer, wearable.

Obstacle Avoidance Using CTC and Virtual Structure for Leader-Follower Formation on Mobile Robot

This research examined the development of the combination of virtual structure and leader-follower as an obstacle avoidance method in the formation control of a mobile robot. The formation of the robots are designed with the Separation Bearing Control (SBC) approach between the leader robot (RL) and the virtual robot (RV). The virtual robot is used as a virtual follower and a reference trajectory for the follower robot (RF). When the follower robot detects an obstacle, the follower robot trajectory is adjusted using a trajectory planner for obstacle avoidance. After passing the obstacle, the follower robot will track its position back in formation using virtual robot position and heading as reference. Leader robot and follower are perturbed by disturbances. In order to ensure the achievement of small error tracking, a controller is designed using the integration of kinematic and dynamics controllers with disturbance observer. The kinematic and dynamics controllers are designed using input-output linearisation (IOL) method and computed torque control (CTC). The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the simulation result.Keywords: CTC, leader follower, obstacle avoidance, SBC, virtual structure.

Obstacle Tracking on Unmanned Surface Vehicle Using Kalman Filter

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) are self-driving vehicles that operate on the water surface. In order to be operated autonomously, USV has a guidance system designed for path planning to reach its destination. The ability to detect obstacles in its paths is one of the important factors to plan a new path in order to avoid obstacles and reach its destination optimally. This research designed an obstacle tracking system which integrates USV perception sensors such as camera and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDaR) to gain information of the obstacle’s relative position in the surrounding environment to the ship. To improve the relative position estimation of the obstacles to the ship, Kalman filter is applied to reduce the measurements noises. The results of the system design are simulated using MATLAB software so that results can be analyzed to see the performance of the system design. Results obtained using the Kalman filter show 12% noise reduction. Keywords: filter kalman, obstacle tracking, unmanned surface vehicle.

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) refers to a communication network between sensors placed on the inside, on the surface, or around the body wirelessly. WBAN system cannot be separated from body tissues. Body tissues also have electrical properties depending on frequency. Therefore, body tissue can affect the phenomena occurring in radio wave propagation in the WBAN channel. One of the phenomena is attenuation. This study investigates the impacts of body tissue on the WBAN channel and the effects of frequency on the attenuation of body tissue in the WBAN channel. The measurement of magnitude response was carried out with the human body as the measurement object by utilizing the S21 parameter measurement with a vector network analyzer. In NLOS conditions, a human body was located between two coplanar Vivaldi antenna. Measurements were conducted on the head, chest, and abdomen. The frequency used was in the range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The body tissue attenuation was obtained by finding the difference between the magnitude measurement response on the LOS and NLOS conditions. The attenuation data were analyzed using statistical and numerical analysis to determine the effect of frequency on the attenuation of the human body tissues. Based on the analysis results, it was identified that the frequency affected the human body tissue attenuation. The enhancement attenuation of the human body tissues occurred when the frequency was higher. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the body tissue attenuation in different parts of the body.Keywords: attenuation, body tissues, s-parameters, wireless body area network.
