Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains many low cost and low power sensor nodes (SNs), these nodes may fail to communicate with each other according to some reasons such as battery lifetime, uncontrolled events or any surrounding environment actions which will lead to partition the network and reduce the Quality of Service (QoS) as well as the reliability and efficiency of the whole network. The motivation of this work was detecting these malfunctions using three approaches considered with two proposed network models : random distributed SNs and real model.Firstly, localization approach in WSN are discussed and verified using four classic localization methods to detect any failed SN, which are : Distance Vector (DV - Hop), Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Arrival (ToA) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). These methods are analyzed and implemented for three different areas, each with three different numbers of SNs. All of them are implemented using MATLAB programming language. Secondly a known fault detection method called Distributed Fault Detection (DFD) discussed and implemented using MATLAB also, and a new method developed from this method named (MDFD) to overcome the disadvantages of DFD method. Finally the feature of the connectivity of the SNs themselves within the network is exploited by using two Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol standards : Sleep Medium Access Control (SMAC) and Tune Medium Access Control (TMAC) protocols, then proposed a modified MAC protocol (MMAC) to enhance the most affecting factors of these two MAC standards such as energy consumption and latency. The performance analysis of these three MAC protocols is verified and simulated using a real model for Iraq, Baghdad, Al - Kadhumyah City, by Castalia 3.2 simulator also designed and implemented these three protocols using an iOS application by the XCode program for general application sensors especially for explosives detection sensors, Fido® X3 sensor proposed forthis application. Simulation results showed that the localization methods proved their ability to localize the failed SNs, but with impractical errors (about 23%) in results than the other approaches, and additional load effect on the network due to execute the localization programs separately before each node failure detection. The DFD approach applied with homogeneous WSNs only that contain only one type of sensors, its errors (starting from 25% for three SNs) was due to its algorithm limitations in using only half of the neighbor SNs, reduced in MDFD method algorithm in which all neighbor SNs considered to detect the failed SN reaching full detection accuracy but with latency tradeoff. The MAC approach is better than localization approach because there is no need to additional hardware for node failure detection; it is also better than DFD approach because it was applicable with both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous WSNs. The three MAC protocols succeeded to detect the failed SNs, but SMAC and TMAC had their tradeoff in energy consumption and latency, when SMAC had less energy consumption (69.62% than TMAC), while TMAC had less latency (27.58% than SMAC). MMAC is combining the advantages of both SMAC and TMAC that had a less energy consumption than that in SMAC by 54.16% and smaller latency than that in TMAC by 76.19% within a range of division index m : between 1 to 5.

Abstract: The routing protocol designed for Internet of Things (IoT) systems has to be adapted with different applications requirements in order to enhance the performance of IoT applications. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis is proposing a routing protocol for wireless sensor network employed to serve IoT systems. A new IoT architecture was proposed with explaining the main functions of each layer forming the proposed architecture. The proposed routing protocol acted according to the tasks specified in this architecture. In addition, an IoT application was proposed to be applicable in some utility organizations. The link quality, node depth and energy were used as metrics to make routing decisions. In this work, different cases were proposed to exhibit the usage of these metrics and show the differences of using each of them, then examine different techniques which deal with link quality and the difference between using node - to - node link quality and end - to - end link quality. Improvements were added to the proposed routing protocol to achieve the perfect integration with suitable Media Access Control (MAC) protocol with taking into consideration the behavior of IoT application. Regarding this orientation, two approaches were suggested; the first includes the proposed routing protocol, application with high data rate and MAC protocol without sleeping capabilities; while the second approach included the proposed routing protocol, application with dynamic data rate and MAC protocol with sleeping capabilities. Comparison with other protocols was essential to show the improvements achieved by this work, thus protocols designed to serve the same purpose such as AODV, REL and LABILE were chosen to compare the proposed routing protocol with. To add integrative and holistic, some of important features such as actuating and mobility were added and tested. These features were greatly required by some of IoT applications and improving the routing protocol to support them made it more suitable for IoT systems. The proposed routing protocol was simulated using Castalia - 3.2 and all proposed approaches were examined to show the enhancement achieved by each approach. The results showed better performance when using end - to - end link quality. The results also showed the effect of MAC protocol if decreasing energy consumption was required. Sleeping MAC was the best choice when used with the proposed routing protocol while reducing the data rate. The proposed routing showed better performance than other protocols did regarding Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and latency. It preserved network reliability since it did not generate routing or data packets needlessly. Routing protocol with added features (actuating and mobility) showed good performance. But that performance was affected by increasing the speed of mobile nodes.

Abstract: Optical antennas, resonant structures, which efficiently collect free - space light and focus it into a nanoscale volume using plasmonic, are indispensable in the burgeoning field of nanophotonics. In this work, resonance behaviors of the fundamental resonance mode of diabolo gold metal bar optical antennas were investigated. The relationship between the near - field enhancement, absorption, and scattering spectra of localized plasmonic elements was explored. It was found that as the waist of the diabolo gold metal bar optical antenna was reduced, optical energy absorption cross section and near field enhancement at resonance increased significantly. Also reduction of the diabolo waist width caused redshift of the resonant wavelengths in the spectra of absorption cross - section, scattering cross - section, and the near electric field. Oppositely, it was found that as the length of the diabolo gold metal bar optical antenna was reduced, optical energy absorption cross section and near field enhancement at resonance decreases significantly. Also reduction of the diabolo length caused blue - shift of the resonant wavelengths in the spectra of absorption cross - section, scattering cross - section, and the near electric field.Grating surface diabolo antenna design was proposed. It was found that grating superstructure perturbed the optical properties of SPPs (Surface Plasmon polarions) and enabled the control of resonance wavelength of the antenna. The grating reduced the power that flow out from the antenna and enhanced the localized electromagnetic fields intensity. The grating also increased surface plasmon currents because of the formation of bound surface states. As a result, the absorption spectra and near field intensity were enhanced but at the same time, the scattering spectra and the far field pattern were reduced.Titanium - Gold grating surface diabolo antenna was proposed. It was found that titanium metal strengthen the grating perturbation of the optical properties of SPPs and allowed wide range of wavelength shifting (3.5 ?m). Because Gold and Titanium have difference electrical resonance characteristics, less plasmon damping occurred, resulting in lower scattering efficiency and narrower plasmon line widths.Finally, system modelling and simulations is done by using electrical department super computer (24 parallel MP and 64 GB RAM) and COMSOL multiphysics 4.4 software.

Abstract: Load forecasting is used by participants in electric energy generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing for a variety of decision - making processes, such as economic dispatch, unit commitment, hydro - thermal coordination, transaction evaluation, and expansion planning. However, the need for accurate forecasts has intensified in the last decade due to the energy industry deregulation. Taking this into account as well as the rapid fluctuations in demand and abrupt changes in weather condition, access to reliable models for accurate forecast of load demand is essential. Due to the need for accurate load forecasts, numerous statistical and artificial intelligence methods have been proposed for the short - term load forecasting problem.In this study, the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method, which is one of the statistical methods, and an Interval Type - 2 Takagi - Sugeno - Kang Fuzzy Logic System (IT - 2 TSK FLS), which is one of the artificial methods and an extension of the conventional fuzzy logic system, were applied. Developed models were trained using the genetic algorithm. With the purpose of an objective assessment, the available dataset was split into training samples (80%, ????????????) and test samples (20%, ??????????). The training data used in this study covered the period from January 1, 2012 to February 1, 2012 for winter season and the period from July 1, 2012 to August 1, 2012 for summer season. The actual load forecasting period started from January 22, till 28, 2012 for winter model and from July 22 till 28, 2012 for summer model.This work suggested two models; the first model was for hourly (24 hour) load forecasting for one day ahead and the second model was for one week ahead in hourly forecasting (from one until 168 hour). For each model, winter and summer seasons were presented. The Main average percentage error (MAPE) term is an index that provides information about the bias of the model and how close forecasts or predictions are to the eventual outcomes. Experiments conducted with real datasets for the Iraqi power system showed that IT2 TSK FLS models precisely approximated future load demands with an acceptable accuracy.The real data for Iraqi power system were taken from Iraqi Operation and Control Office which belongs to the Ministry of Electricity.A computer program, written in MATLAB programming languages, was developed to represent the proposed method.

Abstract: Autonomous mobile robots are used in various applications such as dangerous regions. These applications demand robust and adaptable methods for path planning.Path planning optimization problem is a fundamental problem for robot navigation; its purpose is to find a collision - free path from the initial position to a target position. Many real - world optimization problems have become increasingly large, complex and dynamic, which require the development of methods and solutions whose efficiency ismeasured by their ability to find acceptable results within a reasonable amount of time.The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithms are used for solving hard optimization problems, including path planning. BFO algorithm is a simple and powerful searching technique. On the other hand, Artificial Potential Field (APF) as a real time obstacle avoidance method is quite simple in theory, but it is easy to bring local minimum problem and failing to find a path in the narrow channel. Therefore, a method for hybridizing APF with BFO is introduced to make use of both methods' advantages. This thesis presents efficient and reliable four optimization algorithms to solve the path planning problem. The first two algorithms are developed based on ABC algorithm as global path planning; they specifically are modified version of ABC algorithm called Directed ABC (DABC) algorithm and a new fitness function added to ABC algorithm named Minimum Angles (MAABC) algorithm was developed. The other two algorithms were proposed based on BFO and APF algorithms as local path planning; they were namely improved versions of BFO algorithm with adaptive step size (ASBFO) algorithm and a proposed version of BFO algorithm with an adaptive tumble (ATBFO) algorithm.The developed algorithms were simulated using MATLAB R2011b package. The simulation results showed that these algorithms could find the shortest paths for even crowded environments. Moreover, these algorithmswere compared with other researchers’ work to evaluate their performance. Additionally, a comparison was made between the executing time of the proposed local path planning algorithms (ASBFO and ATBFO algorithms) and the real tracked military robot (e.g., Talon) to verify the capability of the proposed methods. Both algorithms achieved fast run time, approximately three times faster than Talon for complex environment, which made them practically efficient.

Abstract: The thesis considers a three - phase four - leg inverter, which is used to supply unequal loads without using a transformer. In the literatures, a three - dimensional modulation technique, requiring complex mathematical algorithms were proposed for this kind of inverter. In this research a different approaches are discussed through two kinds of controller; first type is based on the separation control method of the fourth - leg of the inverter from the other phases for one type for modulation. This research applied to the three - phase inverter of the traditional SVM techniques avoiding the employment of complex procedures. The voltage modulation method based on a triangular carrier waveform for the three - phase four - leg voltage source converter. The four - leg converter can produce three - phase output voltages independently from the additional forth - leg. The proposed modulation method for the four - leg inverter is implemented with a single carrier by a simple useful “offset voltage” concept. The second type is equivalent to the so - called three - dimensional space vector PWM method, but its implementation is much easier. The simultaneously synthesized equations of the maximum magnitude of unbalanced three - phase voltage.The feasibility of the proposed modulation technique types verified by computer simulation and experimental results. These results show that both types of “Carrier - Based Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique” and “Three Dimensional Space Vector Modulation Technique” are easier implemented than conventional type by using microcontroller component (PIC16F874A/877A) instead of digital components (DSP & FPGA). So this thesis offers a prototype for this circuit with low cost and low harmonics, but with more complex control circuit.

Abstract: تعدد الارسال للتردد بالتقسيم المتعامد (OFDM) هو مفتاح تمكين التكنولوجيا لمعظم انظمة الاتصالات اللاسلكية الحالية ذات معدل نقل البيانات العالي. والميزة الرئيسية للـ (OFDM) مقارنة بالطرق التقليدية هو انه يحول القناة ذات النطاق العريض الى قنوات فرعية ضيقة متو | Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the key enabling technology for most current high data - rate wireless communication systems. The primary advantage of OFDM over conventional schemes is that it converts a wideband channel into parallel narrowband sub - channels allowing relatively simple channel estimation and frequency domain equalization. It is as an effective technique for coping with channel impairments like multipath propagation and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) by making use of an appropriate cyclic prefix. One of the major drawbacks of OFDM is that it is more sensitive to synchronization errors than its single carrier counterparts. This thesis describes a real - time implementation of a timing and frequency synchronization for OFDM system using MATLAB software Simulink, DSP processor TMS320C6713 and Code Composer Studio (CCS). The hardware interface converts the baseband signal from the PC to the DSP Processor. Basic transmission and reception performances are evaluated in real time using Real Time data Transfer (RTDX). The practical results and performance evaluation of the synchronization algorithms in OFDM system is presented and discussed. The results are plotted for different offsets of CFO and STO with different values of signal to noise ratio. Also the bit error rate (BER) and the mean square error (MSE) of the system is analyzed. The results show that the time offset more effect than frequency offset because of ISI and ICI occurs when time offset occur in the system. The synchronization algorithm is found to be robust for both CFO and STO simultaneously. It can handle offset of about CFO = 500 Hz and STO = 14 samples simultaneously without wasting extra bandwidth. This algorithm used for synchronization more robust for 16QAM compared with 4QAM modulation.

Abstract: Transmission networks of modern power systems are becoming increasingly stressed because of the growing demand and restrictions on constructions new lines. One of the consequences of such a stressed system is the threat of losing stability following adisturbance. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices are found to be very effective in a transmission network for better utilization of its existing facilities without sacrificing the desired stability margin.The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt device which employs one of the latest technologies of FACTS and power electronic switching devices in electric power transmission systems to control the voltage and power flow. The STATCOMregulates the voltage at its terminal by controlling the amount of reactive power injected into or absorbed from the power system.Whilst the Iraqi National (400 kV) Super High Voltage Grid System suffers from voltage stability problems because of the high variation in the reactive power conditions all over the year seasons. Therefore, this thesis proposed an application of the STATCOM devices to maintain the voltages within the specified limits and enhancing voltage stability for all seasons in the year, as well as reducing the apparent power losses. And in order to reduce therequired installation cost of the STATCOM devices, this performance has been done by using minimum possible size of the reactive power injected or absorbed by the STATCOM devices, while satisfying the stability limits.The benefit of the STATCOM devices depends greatly on how these devices can be placed in the system. The general problem focused in this thesis was how to optimally determine the locations and the sizes of the STATCOM devices that to be installed. For thatreason, it was decided to follow an optimization approach such as a Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is one of the heuristic methods to find the optimum location and the value of installed STATCOM devices.The Newton - Raphson load flow method, with the proposed approach has been examined and tested first on the 5 - bus IEEE test system; the results obtained encouraged us to implement the same approach on the 27 - bus Iraqi National (400kV) SHV Grid System.The real data for Iraqi network have been taken from Iraqi National Control Center (INCC), in the Ministry of Electricity.computer program, written in MatLab environment, was developed to represent the proposed method.

Abstract: As far as electrical power system is concerned, there has been a need to find out the future load in advance. Load forecasting has played an important role in the generation, transmission and distribution system planning. Load forecasting of future load demand is significant for an economic and secured operation of power systems. In general, the objective of high - precision load forecasting is difficult to achieve due to complex effects on load by a variety of factors.This thesis focuses on the study of long term load forecasting by using multiple linear regression (MLR) method and using different types of computational intelligence methods such as feed forward Neural Network with back - propagation (BP) tuning algorithm (FNN - BP), feed forward Neural Network with particle swarm optimization (PSO) tuning algorithm (FNN - PSO) and Elman Neural Network with back - propagation (BP) tuning algorithm (ENN - BP). Such forecasts will be highly useful in proper system planning and operations. The algorithms have been demonstrated using simulation programs in MATLAB environment.The usefulness of the five forecasting techniques was tested on a test system data for a Big Utility Company (Egyptian Unified Network). The obtained results showed that the ENN - PSO method takes advantage of accuracy and efficiency in prediction.The ENN - PSO method was performed using population growth data on the Iraqi National Grid for the duration from 2014 to 2030.
