This paper proposes a new analytical formulation to design dominant pole placement based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for handling second order retarded type delay differential equations (DDEs) or in the control systems community, commonly known as the second order plus time delay (SOPTD) systems. This proposed method does not need any finite term approximation like different orders of Pade approach to derive the quasi-polynomial characteristic equation for analytical stability analysis. Rather the proposed method uses a mapping by which the transcendental exponential delay term in the characteristic polynomial is transformed into finite number of discrete time poles by a suitable choice of the sampling time. Here, we explore a specific case, where the choice of sampling time makes the order of characteristic polynomial in the discrete time or z -domain being an odd number. The PID controllers are discretized by both Euler’s and Tustin’s method for a comparison between these two approaches. The corresponding PID controller gains are obtained using the dominant pole placement criterion. Effectiveness of the proposed methodology are demonstrated on several SOPTD test-bench plants with different lag to delay ratios and open loop damping levels, using credible numerical simulations. Here, the novel finding is that we obtain irregular, discontinuous, multi-modal stability regions for the odd number of dominant pole placement problem through optimization whereas similar previous works have reported continuous stability regions when attempted for even number of non-dominant pole placement problems.

Network Analyzers are commonly utilized in measuring various radio frequency (RF) and microwave measurements. In many cases Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) are available and are better suited given their ability to measure the magnitude and phase results for a device under test (DUT). These devices are, however, bulky and expensive, therefore limiting the amount of people who can have access to one of them. Due to these drawbacks, a low-cost two-port network analyzer was designed for optimum operation at frequencies from 200 MHz to 2.7 GHz. Assembly of this device brought together the combined efforts of a SynthHD signal generator, 2 AD8302 RF /IF gain/phase detectors, couplers, and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, which was used to program a graphical user interface (GUI), capable of plotting S-parameter readings. A commonly used error calibration method was also used to eliminate common errors.

Moisture content (MC) is one of the influential parameters in food waste composting process. With the use of low aeration rate in achieving minimal loss of moisture, 60% moisture content is found to be the optimum indicator. There is a need to retain moisture of the composting process at this set point to achieve peak temperature while eliminating odour emission. A low cost YL-69 hygrometer sensor which has been verified for its applicability in measuring volumetric content of soil was used in this investigation. The sensor measured moisture content of food waste composting process continuously. With this, two models were developed, and standard soil gravimetric method showed a strong relationship of R2 is 0.962 with error 5.02 % (

The Smart Grid (SG) is the emerging energy systems that are enticed by smart devices and entities to support its control and monitoring. The SGs” core challenge is how to efficiently utilize different types of smart front-end devices, such as smart meters and power assets, and process the huge volume of data from these devices. Cloud computing (CC) provides flexible services and resources to comply with SG application”s computational requirements. Although the CC model is considered efficient for SG, the Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements, such as energy consumption, latency, bandwidth and network cost, for SG services are not guaranteed. Fog computing (FC) reaches the edge of a network computing providing low latency, latency - sensitive analytics and location awareness to satisfy the critical SG application”s mission requirements. The aim of this work is to comprehend FC applicability to interplay with the cloud support, thus enabling to develop a new range of latency-free utilities in real time. In this paper, we provide an in-depth survey on various fog computing approaches for smart grid architecture. Also, the current state of research on the development of smart grids is presented in this survey.

Indonesia is a country rich in culture. One of Indonesia's culturaldiversity is on traditional foods. Traditional food not only has a role in the cultural aspect, but also has an influence on biodiversity. Unfortunately, the current diet of people endangers the existence of traditional foods, which indirectly will also affect Indonesia's food security. Indonesia Local Food Database is one solution proposed to prevent this problem, where the database will play a role to monitor food systems in Indonesia. In this research, database development will focus on collecting data for Sumatra traditionalfood, and also building a model for image classification which will later become one of the main features of the database. Some features like color and texture are extracted from the image. These features are used for classification using 5 classical machine learning models. Evaluation results show performance that as good as deep learning approach.

In conducting research and teaching in fields related to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it is particularly important to select a universal, safe, open research platform and tools for rapid prototyping. Ready-to-use, low-cost micro-class UAVs such as Bebop 2 are successfully used in that regard. This article presents how to use the potential of this flying robot with Robot Operating System (ROS). The most important software solutions for the developed experimental testbed FlyBebop are characterized here. Their capabilities in research and education are exemplified using three distinct cases: 1) research results on the method of optimal, in-flight, iterative self-tuning of UAV position controller parameters (based only on current measurements), 2) the use of the reinforcement learning method in the autonomous landing of a single drone on a moving vehicle, 3) planning the movement of UAVs for autonomous video recording along the planned path in the arrangement: "cameraman drone" and "lighting technician drones".
