Abstract

The most popular filtering method used for solving a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is the Extended Kalman Filter. Essentially, it requires prior stochastic knowledge both the process and measurement noise statistic. In order to avoid this requirement, these noise statistics have been defined at the beginning and kept to be fixed for the whole process. Indeed, it will satisfy the desired robustness in the case of simulation. Oppositely, due to the continuous uncertainty affected by the dynamic system under time integration, this manner is strongly not recommended. The reason is, improperly defined noise will not only degrade the filter performance but also might lead the filter to divergence condition. For this reason, there has been a strong manner well-termed as an adaptive-based strategy that commonly used to equip the classical filter for having an ability to approximate the noise statistic. Of course, by knowing the closely responsive noise statistic, the robustness and accuracy of an EKF can increase. However, most of the existed Adaptive-EKF only considered that the process and measurement noise statistic are characteristically zero-mean and responsive covariances. Accordingly, the robustness of EKF can still be enhanced. This paper presents a proposed method named as a MAPAEKF-SLAM algorithm used for solving the SLAM problem of a mobile robot, Turtlebot2. Sequentially, a classical EKF was estimated using Maximum a Posteriori. However, due to the existence of unobserved value, EKF was also smoothed one time based on the fixed-interval smoothing method. This smoothing step aims to keep-up the derivation process under MAP creation. Realistically, this proposed method was simulated and compared to the conventional one. Finally, it has been showing better accuracy in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of both Estimated Map Coordinate (EMC) and Estimated Path Coordinate (EPC).

Abstract

Spoiler attached on the rear part of a car can generate drag force and negative lift force, called downforce. This drag force can increase air resistance to the car, meanwhile, a negative lift force can improve the car’s stability and safety. Refer to many researchers, the shape and the angle of the spoiler give different aerodynamic effects and therefore give a different value of drag force and lift force. Based on these facts, this study was focused on the analysis of different spoiler angle attached to a mini MPV car to drag and lift force generated by the spoiler. The method used in this study is a numerical simulation using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The analysis was carried out at different spoiler angle and car’s speed. The spoiler angles are -20o, -10o, 0o, 10o, and 20o. The car’s speeds are 40 km/h, 60 km/h, 80 km/h, 100 km/h, and 120 km/h. Then the drag and lift force and their coefficient generated by different spoiler angles were being investigated at specified speeds. The result shows that higher spoiler angles generate higher drag and lower lift. Spoiler angles higher than 0o generate negative lift force, otherwise generate positive lift force. Therefore, to increase a car’s stability and safety, it is recommended to use a spoiler angle higher than 0o. Based on the result, it is best to use spoiler angle 10o because it generates negative lift force with -0.05 lift coefficient and 0,68 drag coefficient.

Abstract

People can make solar energy alternative energy by employing solar panels to generate electricity. The utilization of solar energy on a solar panel to generate electricity is affected by the weather and the duration of the radiation, and they will affect the solar panel’s temperature. There are various types of solar panels that can be found on the market today, including Mono-Crystalline and Poly-Crystalline. The difference in the material used needs to be observed in terms of temperature changes in the solar module. Our study’s findings showed that a change in the temperature would impact the solar panel’s output voltage, and the solar panel’s output voltage would change when it was connected to the load although the measured temperatures were almost the same.

Abstract

Load shedding plays a key part in the avoidance of the power system outage. The frequency and voltage fluidity leads to the spread of a power system into sub-systems and leads to the outage as well as the severe breakdown of the system utility.  In recent years, Neural networks have been very victorious in several signal processing and control applications.  Recurrent Neural networks are capable of handling complex and non-linear problems. This paper provides an algorithm for load shedding using ELMAN Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Elman has proposed a partially RNN, where the feedforward connections are modifiable and the recurrent connections are fixed. The research is implemented in MATLAB and the performance is tested with a 6 bus system. The results are compared with the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Combining Genetic Algorithm with Feed Forward Neural Network (hybrid) and RNN. The proposed method is capable of assigning load releases needed and more efficient than other methods.

Abstract

The effect of polysilazane on the densification and mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC composites was examined thoroughly. The polysilazane was infiltrated into the fiber area, followed by pyrolysis at 1450°C for 4 h in an argon atmosphere. Furthermore, the SiC fabrics contain the pyrolyzed polysilazane was infiltrated by β-SiC slurry and sintered at 1750°C for 2 h in an argon atmosphere. The density of SiCf/SiC composites with and without the addition of polysilazane was 2.65 and 3.05 g/cm3, respectively. The pores in the fiber area were observed for the SiCf/SiC composites with the addition of polysilazane. However, the fine-grained size in the matrix area was obtained by the addition of polysilazane. The average grain size of the SiCf/SiC composite with and without the addition of polysilazane was 253 and 740 nm, respectively. Indeed, the hardness of the matrix area for SiCf/SiC composites with the addition of polysilazane (31.6 ± 1.8 GPa) was higher compared to SiCf/SiC composites without polysilazane (27.4 ± 1.6 GPa).

Abstract

Paraffin as a heat storage material has many advantages but also has drawbacks, namely low thermal conductivity so that the melting time becomes long. Efforts have been made to accelerate the melting time, including by increasing a surface area of the hot wall, or also by changing the geometry. In this study was carried out by changing the temperature of the hot wall from uniform to increase gradually, uniform hot wall temperature was 330 K, increased gradually hot wall temperature was 324 K, 327 K, 330 K, 333 K, dan 336 K. Paraffin used has specifications according to reference. They have performed numerically used ANSYS software. They are using three models, namely modelA, model-B, and model-C. The study aimed to obtain liquid-solid interface contours, changes in temperature at measurement points, and changes in the liquid fraction. The results of model validation show similarities to previous studies. The results show that the melting time in the model-A is the fastest, followed by model-B and model-C.

Abstract

The stability and convergence time become an essential factor in network availability performance. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is one of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) technologies that can support the quality of communication media on the high-speed backbone network. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the proper protocol routing in espousing VPN technology based on MPLS supported by direct-link backup to improve network availability in the Data Center. The purpose of this study is comparing the convergence time and Quality of Service (QoS) among the three IGP protocols routing, namely Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) based on two autonomous system number using Ring topology design between Data Center and DRC. Network scenario is created using the Graphic Network Simulator (GNS3) application to measure convergence time and QoS parameters of the three protocols routing and the use of MPLS-TE and RR in enhancing MPLS backbone performance. The results revealed that QoS in the three protocols routing has a good quality level according to TIPHON’s standard with the number of indexes up to 3.25 (Good). On the other hand, the fastest convergence time when interruption on the main link (VPN) is EIGRP with convergence time for about 15 seconds.

Abstract

The telecommunication has a tremendous improvement in terms of data rates and bandwidth requiring sufficient frequency allocation and wideband spectrum availability. The millimeter-wave frequency band is one of the solution to these requirements, however communications in this band is facing new challenges on the climate effect to the channel propagation  In this paper, we propose a 5G channel model considering the effect of humidity based on the characteristic of the natural environment of Palembang city. The channel model is represented by power levels and delay called a Power Delay Profile (PDP and is derived based on a series of computer simulations using parameters of nature in Palembang. The 5G channel model is important to further derive the outage performance to be used as the theoretical performance of 5G in Palembang since the the Shannon Channel Capacity Theorem is involved in the derivation. We conduct a series of computer simulations to evaluate the validity of the proposed channel model and its characteristics. We found that humidity affect to the performances, where high humidity makes the performances of outage and BER slightly worse, although the effect may be ignored for some applications. The results of this paper are expected to be the references for the development and implementation of 5G Networks especially at the mm-Wave band in Palembang.
