Contactless physiological measurement is a new trend for long-term monitoring and future home care. Remote image photo-plethysmography (RIPPG) is one of data acquisition method for contactless measurement. Nowadays, the presented frameworks are mostly developed based on PC or smartphone. However, the large scale of image and signal operations can cause the performance issues for image capturing and computing on software based platforms. In this paper, we propose a contactless pulse rate detection system based on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform to evaluate user's pulse rate. With hardware support, it provides a steadier frame rate for instant operations regardless the computation scales. The system contains an image sensor, DE2-115 FPGA board, Bluetooth module and a smartphone. The pulse rate accuracy of the proposed system is 0.19±7.8 bpm after validating with a clinical used apparatus. In the future, the system can be integrated with sick beds for home caring and hospitalizing usages.

The increase in renewable energy generators introduced into the electricity grid is putting pressure on its stability and management as predictions of renewable energy sources cannot be accurate or fully controlled. This, with the additional pressure of fluctuations in demand, presents a problem more complex than the current methods of controlling electricity distribution were designed for. A global approximate and distributed optimisation method for power allocation that accommodates uncertainties and volatility is suggested and analysed. It is based on a probabilistic method known as message passing [1], which has deep links to statistical physics methodology. This principled method of optimisation is based on local calculations and inherently accommodates uncertainties; it is of modest computational complexity and provides good approximate solutions. We consider uncertainty and fluctuations drawn from a Gaussian distribution and incorporate them into the message-passing algorithm. We see the effect that increasing uncertainty has on the transmission cost and how the placement of volatile nodes within a grid, such as renewable generators or consumers, effects it.

An effective HW reconfiguration of a FCM (Flying Capacitor Multilevel) converter and also of its control algorithm in case of a fault of one element in the converter phase is presented. A strategy starts from the theory of FCM converters with unequal distribution of voltages on converter capacitors. The use of additional switching elements and capacitors with higher rated voltage is a necessary condition for the presented approach. Because a number of redundant switching states in faulted phases is limited, joint-phase redundancies are recommended to be used to balance capacitor voltages. The case of a 4-level FCM converter is analyzed in detail as an example.

The paper is focused on specific topologies of middle-voltage (MV) power distribution lines with respect to their properties influencing the transmission of communication signals. The following parameters have been measured in the rural-area 22kV distribution network of CEZ Distribuce, a.s.: channel frequency response, interference and background noise. On this basis we have set up models and computed the estimated data throughputs for narrowband PLC (Power Line Communication) technology using OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) modulation. Crucial experience for further implementation and operation of systems for communication support of Smart Grids has been obtained and presented.

One of the fundamental tasks of a smart-grid is achieving an optimal balance between the supplied and consumed energy in the grid. The optimal balance avoids underutilisation as well as overloading of energy sources; minimises the cost of energy transportation and storage; and reduces the price of energy. In this paper we propose a stochastic model for associating energy-suppliers with consumers having matching characteristics in a probabilistic sense. The optimal number of users a particular supplier can serve is described in terms of the probability density functions of its energy production and the demand of consumers. We shall demonstrate both analytically and numerically that an optimal balance can be achieved when the supplied energy, the demand for energy, and the number of users associated with a particular supplier, all, have a normally distributed probability distribution function (pdf).

In this study, we design a dual cooperative camera system to maintain the both requirements of a visual surveillance system of tracking and close-up viewing functions in real time. In most of the object tracking or detecting systems, the details or close-up views of the objects are easily neglected for surveilling the environment to keep the camera in wide field view. Besides, some of the systems use the master-slave mode to keep one camera always in a close-up mode and the other camera in searching mode, and it may cause the dead end problem in surveillance or miss the target for not allowing the dynamic change of the roles of both cameras. Therefore, the cooperative dual camera system can not only extract the object correctly by analyzing the human body's shape but also predict the moving position and height of the human to have a close-up view. The dual pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are used in the system to have the adjustable zooming and focusing parameters. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can obtain clear close-up views for either a single target or multiple objects in real time.

The deployment of smart metering in Brazil is still initial and various technological and social issues need to be discussed before the decision on how the vast meter park should be. The purpose of this study is to analyze smart meters on the perspective of each side interested in its adoption in the Brazilian electric sector. We analyze the comprehensive range of functions that a meter can have, highlighting remote communication, and power quality features according to the different scenarios of Brazillian distribution system. Finally, we suggest a smart metering model converging the existing demands and interests of the Brazilian electric sector.

Low-cost and facile approach to grow quasi-one-dimensional hexagonal tungsten trioxide nanobundles (Q1D hex-WO3 NBs) on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate via hydrothermal method combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique is reported. Influence of the precursor concentration and hydrothermal reaction time on the morphology and size of as-synthesized WO3 nanostructures are investigated. Well-designed nanostructure exhibits remarkable enhancement in the electrochromic (EC) properties. In particular, a significant optical modulation (44% at 700 nm), fast color switching speed (bleaching: 22 s and coloration: 9 s), high coloration efficiency (89.8 cm2 C-1 at 700 nm), high Li+ diffusion coefficient (8.92 × 10-10 cm2 s-1), and excellent cycling stability (74% after 1000 cycles) are achieved for the Q1D hex-WO3 NBs film. Improved EC properties are mainly attributed from the Q1D hex-WO3 NBs. Li+ can transport quickly and easily diffused into the storage sites of the interface of the NBs. Furthermore, we also reported a large areal flexible EC device (70 mm × 70 mm) with a simple two-electrode configuration exhibiting outstanding mechanical flexibility and high optical contrast. The Q1D hex-WO3 NBs film acts as an excellent EC material.

The objective of this study is to examine the cost implication and reactive power generating potential of the synchronous condenser. Universally, increase in electricity demand constitutes new issues for power generation, transmission and distribution. Synchronous condenser solutions are being initiated globally to be instrumental in the best usage of power resources and offer grid systems support for todays and future sustainable, stable and reliable electrical grid network. This research x-rays the cost implication of the synchronous condenser in today's challenging environment. A vivid description of the reactive power generating potential of the synchronous condenser is shown with Matlab/Simulink environment simulation of a medium voltage (MV) power system network. It is observed that the synchronous condenser is cost-effective as compared to other reactive power generating equipment's and sources. Furthermore, Matlab/Simulink simulation results of the MV electric-power network shows an effective scheme for reactive power generation.
