This study presents a performance analysis of low power CMOS Integrated “Current Conveyor Ion Sensitive Field Effect transistor” (CC-ISFET). The study’s main focus is on simulation of power and performance analysis of ISFET device, which is used for water quality monitoring. This approach can improve calibration of device to a fairly wide range without the use of a high speed digital processor....

the wide availability of data on air pollutant emissions, the knowledge already achieved on theset of chemical and photochemical reactions in the troposphere, the ability to access real time weatherconditions at the local scale that determine the transport and transformation of gases and aerosol, now make it possible to obtain credible and reliable predictions, retrospective analyses and/or fut...

Abstrac t In the paper a virtual instrument for power quality measurement and research is proposed. The instrument is divided in several modules which provide generation, measurement and recording of the typical power quality (PQ) disturbances such as: harmonics, voltage dips, interruptions, flicker, unbalance etc. The virtual instrument allows setting different measurement parameters which exp...

This paper presents a novel method for performing automatic power quality diagnosis to identify the causes of short duration voltage disturbances such as voltage sags and swells. Such voltage disturbances can be caused by permanent or non permanent faults. A permanent fault causes permanent damage and power interruption to the customers whereas a non permanent fault can be categorized as either...

Public Addressing System (PA) is an electronic sound and amplification distribution system with a microphone, amplifier and loudspeakers. PA systems are widely used to make announcements in public, institutional and commercial buildings and locations . In PA systems cost, quality and expansion are the major factors that affect the working and implementation of the system. The Zigbee based monit...

The integration of unpredictable renewable energy sources into the low voltage (LV) power grid results in new challenges when it comes to ensuring power quality in the power grid. Addressing this problem requires control of not only the secondary substation but also control of flexible assets inside the LV grid. In this paper we investigate how the flexibility information of such assets can be ...

groundwater is the main source of potable water in most areas of mazandaran province, like sari and babol city. thus the safety of groundwater supplies is very important in these regions. unfortunately attention to groundwater quality has remained limited in iran. in recent years, the growth of industry, technology, population, and water use has increased the stress upon both land and water res...

When no prior knowledge is available, clustering is a useful technique for categorizing data into meaningful groups or clusters. In this paper, a modified fuzzy min–max (MFMM) clustering neural network is proposed. Its efficacy for tackling power quality monitoring tasks is demonstrated. A literature review on various clustering techniques is first presented. To evaluate the proposed MFMM model...

The parameters involved in the water quality monitoring such as the pH level, turbidity and temperature is measured in real time by the sensors that send the data to the base station or control/monitoring room. As the monitoring is intended to be carried out in a remote area with limited access, signal or data from the sensor unit will then be transmitted wirelessly to the base monitoring stati...
