KEYNOTE SPEAKER 3 TITLE: Early Warning System for Landslidesin Malaysia: A GNSS-Based MonitoringApproachSYNOPSIS:Landslides, escalating globally, pose apressing challenge in Malaysia due toclimate change impacts. To minimizedevastating consequences on life,property, and infrastructure, effectivecontrol measures are vital. Real-timemonitoring systems offer a proactiveapproach to identify potentiallandslide zones, averting disasters inadvance. Despite remote sensing,radar, and LiDAR being availabletechnologies, cost and accuracy limittheir broad use. Addressing theselimitations, a novel solution employsGNSS satellite technology forlandslide monitoring. Analyzing landmovement signals, it promptlydetects changes in position and slope,providing early warnings for potentiallandslides. Cost-effectiveness andprecision make the GNSS-basedmonitoring system suitable fordiverse locations. By deploying thistechnology in high-risk areas,Malaysia can promptly detect andmitigate potential landslides.

Understanding the influence of different dimensions on conductivity is fundamental in many fields,including electronics, material science, and electrochemical sensing. This study investigates the impacts ofvarying dimensions of electrodes on the conductivity performance of the porous paper-based humiditysensor. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution was chosen for its potential to alter the surface properties of thepaper to form porous paper. Interdigitated electrode structures with varying dimensions were fabricatedusing porous paper. It is found that a smaller electrode gap size provides better conductivity and lessresistance. A wider finger width provides more conductive pathways for electrons to travel, increasingconductivity. In comparison to a smaller electrode finger width, the wider electrode finger width transmitsmore current.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 59Porous Paper-based Device with Different Electrode Dimensions for HumiditySensor ApplicationsLoo Wei Yang, Gan Shin Pyng, Tan Jin Peng and Mastura Shafinaz ZainalAbidin*Paper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 4Surface anomaly detection using feature-based transfer learning for IoT-enabledsmart manufacturingMuhammad Ateeq, Matilda Isaac, Hadyan Hafizh, Bintao Hu, Ismail MohdKhairuddin, Mohd Amirul Abdullah and Anwar P.P. Abdul MajeedOwing to the advancement of computational technology, the employment of deep learning architecturefor defect detection in the manufacturing in-dustry has gained considerable attention. Traditional meansof defect detec-tion through manual visual inspection by operators are laborious as well as susceptible tomistakes. In the present study, a feature-based transfer learning approach is used to classify surfacedefects. The KolektorSDD database is used in the present study. Two pipelines were developed toinvestigate their efficacy in detecting the defects, namely the InceptionV3-SVM and VGG19-SVM pipelines,respectively. It was demonstrated from the study that the VGG19-SVM pipeline could provide desirableresults compared to the InceptionV3-SVM pipeline, suggesting that the VGG19 is a better feature extractorfor the evaluated surface defects. It could be concluded that the proposed pipeline is suitable for theclassification of surface defects.A b s t r a c t :PARALLEL SESSION 112

The increasing demand and usage of quadcopter drone across fields and missions has led to activeinvolvement of quadcopter in research community. A proper controller is required for a quadcopter inorder to operate with a smooth and stable flight. Feature such as tracking has become one of therequirements to quadcopter. Such feature gives another challenge in designing a controller to en-sure astable and accurate quadcopter operation. Most system in industrial control application, includingquadcopter prefer conventional PID controller as the main or base control system. However, conventionalPID used fixed parameters for the system which could lead to undesired responses if the systemencountered any changes, and this could also lead to a long-time adjustment. Thus, fuzzy logic techniqueis integrated to system to form Fuzzy PID controller which the tuning process can be simplified andshorten. The proposed algorithm of Fuzzy PID is simulated with some trajectories and put to comparisonwith conventional PID. The result of conventional PID shows more tuning need to be conducted to im-prove the responses, while the Fuzzy PID controller provide better responses without further tuningapplied.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 14Fuzzy-PID Trajectory Tracking Control of a QuadcopterA'dilah Baharuddin and Mohd.

The main element for reverse vending machine (RVM) is the waste classification technique. Theperformance of the RVM’s waste segregation can be enhanced by incorporating a good classificationtechnique. The objective of this project is to study the performance of CNN for image processing for thewaste segregation part of RVM. For this RVM, only polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, aluminiumcans, and drink carton boxes are considered for recycling by using image classification based on transferlearning with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithms. The performance parameters that areevaluated are F1-score, computational time, and testing result for each neural network. In this paper,ResNet50 surpasses other neural networks due to the highest F1-score which is 0.9541 and the goodtesting performance although the computational time is longest among the other network which is240min 01s. The accuracy rate of ResNet50 achieved in this project is 0.9724.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 26Convolutional Neural Networks Performance Study for Image Processing ofWaste Segregation for Reverse Vending MachineTan Hor Yan, Zamani bin Md.

Unlike develop countries which already far advanced, Malaysia still facing critical issuesincluding on fragmentation especially on M&E scope. Frag-mentation is defined as working in isolation, work inseparation and division that happens among different parties in the same project. Various research on prefabricatedhousing has been conducted focusing on supply chain, modularization, automation, design, payment and procurementbut lack fo-cus on fragmentation. This paper investigates the real causes of fragmenta-tion issues in Malaysianprefabricated housing that affected M&E and struc-tural to be miss-matched, their consequences and recommendsteps to over-come. The methodology used is mixed method with 118 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS, thenfollowed with deep interviews with experienced professionals from M&E companies, prefabricated manufacturers,prefabri-cated installers, academicians, consultants, developers and main contractors. The result shows the causes offragmentation are M&E unfamiliar with pre-fabricated concept, late involvement of prefabricated companies and thepractice of segregation culture while the steps to overcome are by establish-ing close integration between M&E andproject team since beginning, each party must be appointed early and forming direct contract between prefabri-catedcompanies and developers. The contribution to the body of knowledge is by detailing the real causes that makefragmentation issue become critical, with descriptions on where the causes were actually started and also present-ingrecommendations that are practical which verified by all stakeholders who directly involve in Malaysia prefabricatedhousing.A b s t r a c t :14

This research focuses on the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technol-ogy for monitoring andcontrolling the performance of wireless power trans-fer (WPT) systems. Overall, WPT allows for thetransmission of electrical energy without the use of physical connections, which provides simplicity andflexibility. The proposed framework incorporates IoT capabilities into the WPT system allowing for real-time monitoring and control. IoT devices deployed throughout the system collect data on parameterssuch as power transmission efficiency, temperature, voltage, and current. The experimental result showsthe transmitter and receiver for coil inductance by using 30 turns with 0.5 mm diameter helical and spiralcopper coils. Whereby, 145.00 µH inductance was entered to the transmitter and 165.00 µH for the receiverof the helical coil. Alternatively, the spiral coil inductance for the transmitter and receiver was 106.98 µHand 110.00 µH respectively. Following that, the output voltage for the WPT with load is 2.35 V at 10 mmdistance, which is higher than 0.08 V at 50 mm distance between coils. Next, it is noteworthy that theoutput voltage for the WPT without load exceeded the output voltage with load, which is 10.47 V at a10mm distance and 0.34 V at a 50 mm dis-tance. This research advances WPT technology by demonstratingthe con-venient of IoT-enabled monitoring and control. The proposed framework in-creases the overallperformance efficiency of WPT systems, making them ideal for use in industries such as automotive,consumer electronics, and healthcare.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 30Monitoring and Controlling Wireless Power Transfer System Performance via IoTLiew Hui Fang, Muhammad Izuan Fahmi Romli, Rosemizi Abd Rahim, NurIrwany Ahmad, Junaidah Binti Ali Mohd Jobran, M.

Detecting and addressing driver fatigue in real time is crucial for improving road safety. Thisresearch paper introduces an innovative method for detecting driver fatigue using electroencephalogram(EEG) signals, enhanced by the Morlet mother wavelet and modified z-score feature. The Morlet wavelet isadapted to capture both temporal and frequency information from EEG signals associated with driverfatigue, while the modified z-score feature measures abnormal EEG activity. Three deep learning models,Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Deep Neural Network (DNN), and LSTM-DNN, are employed to classifythe data. The LSTM model captures long-term dependencies, the DNN model learns complexrelationships, and the hybrid LSTM-DNN model combines their strengths to improve classificationaccuracy. The proposed approach demonstrates its effectiveness through comprehensive experiments,achieving high accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, F1-score, and recall in driver fatigue detection. The LSTM-DNN hybrid model showed exceptional performance, achieving an accuracy of 99.99% in classifying EEGsignals. This showcases its remarkable precision in accurately categorizing the signals. Additionally, theLSTM-DNN model exhibited a specificity of 99.98% and a sensitivity of 100.00%, indicating its capability toclassify driver fatigue states accurately. Furthermore, the F1-score and recall for the LSTM-DNN model were99.99% and 100.00%, respectively.A b s t r a c t :15

This research aims to provide a wireless and convenient charging solution, eliminating the need for multiple cables andadapters. By integrating RFID technology with Raspberry Pi, the system can identify and communicate with RFID tagsor chips embedded in devices, initiating the charging process wirelessly. However, most of the mobile phones andlaptop come with a very poor battery life. Such as, li-ion batteries used for mobile phones and laptops are consumableproducts. Due to the chemical properties of Lithium ions, the battery capacity will decrease by use over time, the user'senvironment and behavior. By leveraging RFID technology and the versatility of Raspberry Pi, the system aims to offeran efficient and convenient charging solution. RFID tags embedded in chargers and laptops enable automatic devicedetection and authentication on the charging station. The Raspberry Pi serves as the control unit, managing thecharging process and ensuring optimal power management. This system will limit the charging time to each user with5 minutes and the LCD display showing the actual time left. This system will cut off the current automatically which isin fully charged. The simulation and experiment proved that mobile phone and laptop charging output volt-age DC iswithin 5 VDC to 20 VDC, respectively. Moreover, output current estimated in the range 0.5 A to 5 A. Experimentalevaluations demonstrate the system's feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing user experience, reducing cable clutter,and streamlining the charging process. The proposed system has implications for diverse settings, catering to theincreasing demand for user-friendly wireless charging solutions.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 42Smart Charging System for Mobile Charges and Laptops Using RFID andRaspberry PiLiew Hui Fang, Muhammad Izuan Fahmi Romli, Rosemizi Abd Rahim, NurIrwany Ahmad, Junaidah Binti Ali Mohd Jobran, M.

The system allows owners of homestaysto con-trol and monitor energy usage at their properties using a Blynk application and a GSM SIM900Acontrol system. Consumers can also limit their energy usage based on the amount they have "topped-up"to the system. The SDB includes a user-friendly Distribution Box (DB) that facilitates monitoring andcontrolling energy usage during stays. Additionally, a mock payment system for tenant has beendeveloped using messages sent to a GSM SIM 900A connected to an Arduino Uno and an ESP32 to link theBlynk apps for the owner to the system. The results show that the system can be used in standby mode,top-up mode, usage mode, low balance mode, and owner mode for the homestay. The system effectivelymanages energy usage between tenant and owners, makes payments for energy usage easy, and allowsfor upgrad-ing the DB system as technology evolves.A b s t r a c t :16

Increasing demand for miniaturized antennas in wireless communication sys-tems has driven research onantenna miniaturization. This paper focuses on the miniaturization of a rectangular microstrip patchantenna, a commonly used antenna in wireless communication. To achieve miniaturization, a highpermit-tivity substrate, specifically an Epoxy-Barium Titanate nanocomposite, is em-ployed as areplacement for the conventional substrate, FR4. Different compo-sitions of epoxy filler (90:10%, 80:20%,70:30%, and 60:40%) substrates are investigated to determine the optimal design. The design andsimulation are performed using CST Studio Suite software at the Wi-Fi frequency of 2.4 GHz. Simulationare conducted to evaluate the antennas' performance in terms of S11, VSWR, efficiency, gain, anddirectivity. Among all the antennas with epoxy-barium titanate substrates, the antenna with a 20% epoxy-barium titan-ate composition exhibits the best performance at the Wi-Fi frequency of 2.4 GHz. Finally, theoptimized antenna design with the 20% and 30% epoxy-barium titanate substrate has potential to befabricated.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 114Modelling of Miniaturized Rectangular Microstrip Antenna Using Epoxy-BariumTitanate Nanocomposite Substrate for Wi-Fi ApplicationsNurulfadzilah Hasan, Nurul Hazlina Noordin, Mohamad Shaiful AbdulKarim, Nurhafizah Abu Talip Yusof, Noor Zirwatul Ahlam Binti Naharuddin, Mohd Ruzaimi Mat Rejab17

Rotary-impact mechanisms generated high-impulse torques directly to the screws with relatively lowinput power. However, this type of tool also generates noise and vibration that may affect the operatorwho uses it. This paper develops a supervisory logic control based on a state-flow control algorithm on themodel to improve the shortfalls. Testing and evaluation are made through experiment and optimizationthrough simulation. The results showed a 19% vibration reduction from the motor’s reaction torque to theuser’s arms. The outcome may improve the user’s comfort, reducing the cause of hand-arm vibration andincreasing the workers’ allowable work time.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 86State Machine Logic Vibration Control Simulation of Rotary Impact DriverChi Hoe Leong and Rosmiwati Mohd-MokhtarPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 3Respiration Rate Monitoring using Optical-based Sensor integrated in Portableon Bed Device SystemMohd Anwar bin Zawawi, Nur Fatin Adawiah binti IsmailIn the past 3 years, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused agreat challenge to human health condition. One of the major symptoms related to the COVID-19 isshortness of breath or breathing difficulty. People with severe COVID-19 may remain infectious beyond 10days. As the positive number of COVID-19 infectious patients in each country could increase higher thatthe capacity of available hospital beds, less critical cases will have to continue self-isolation at theirrespective home. The proposed respiration rate monitoring device is based on optical fiber sensorintegrated in a portable on bed device. The proposed device is able to provide continuous measurementof the respiration where the breath-ing rate that could be recorded is between 6 to 24 times per minutes.In summary, the implementation of portable on bed device with the optical fi-ber sensor can be appliedas an alternative method to provide continuous respiration rate measurement for COVID-19 patient whoare undergoing self-isolation period at their respective home.A b s t r a c t :PARALLEL SESSION 218

The beampattern of the collaborative beamforming (CB) in wireless sensor network (WSN) suffers fromhigh maximum sidelobe level (SLL) due to the distribution of sensor nodes in random manner. The highSLL will cause high interference which is unreliable for wireless communication. Thus, this paper proposesa method of optimizing inter-element spacing of sensor nodes based on evolutionary algorithm (EA)optimizers which are Imperialist Com-petitive Algorithm (ICA), Backtracking Search Algorithm (BSA),Genetic Al-gorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The inter-element spacing betweensensor nodes is optimized in linear antenna array (LAA) configuration. The beampattern is optimized interms of peak SLL suppres-sion, control first null beam width (FNBW) and null placement in unintendeddirections. The algorithms are evaluated in different cases to fulfil the single and multiple fitness functions.The results show that all algorithms managed to control FNBW size in five cases, while reducing peak SLLup to 40% (ICA), 33% (PSO), 30% (GA) and 25% (BSA).Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 10Beampattern Optimization of Collaborative Beamforming in Wireless SensorNetwork using Evolutionary Algorithms: a ComparisonNajla Ilyana Ab Majid, Nik Noordini Nik Abd Malik, Nor Aini Zakaria,Muhammad Zahid Zainul AbidinPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 6Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm for Test Redundancy ReductionMizanur Rahman, Kamal Z. Zamli, Md. Abdul KaderThe Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), a kind of innovative swarm intelligence algorithm, has been used ina variety of domains due to its special qualities, such as its robust global search capabilities, its limitednumber of adjustable parameters, and its clear structure. However, the SSA still has some weaknesses thatprevent its further development. These weaknesses include low population diversity, limited localsearchability, and a tendency to easily slip into local optima. Software testing is critical to fulfilling the userrequirement. the software is tested using test cases, and it is impossible to run all test cases in a regressiontest suite because the size of the test suite increases as the software changes over time, and this wouldtake a lot of time and effort. There are numerous approaches to minimize test suites, but none of themcan create a test suite with the ideal number of tests because the problem is NP-complete. In this context,in this paper, we proposed an improved sparrow search algorithm and we use the test redundancyreduction problem as a case study. Therefore, our algorithm has shown promising and superior resultscompared to standard SSA.A b s t r a c t :18

Uncertainties and perturbations are the ‘enemies’ of a flying robot without a proper and reliable controller.The easiest controller to implement is the PID controller which its gains only need to be tuned properlyeither using Ziegler-Nichol's Method or manual tuning. Both are time consuming and single-acting PIDcontrollers cannot adapt in various situations with only single-tuning. Being in different situations requiresre-tuning, which is unfavorable during physical flight mode. In this paper, single-acting PID controller willbe transformed into a hybridized mode which includes the action of Radial Basis Function (RBF) NeuralNetwork. The objective is to help a quadcopter to survive various uncertainties and perturbations with aself-tuned algorithm. An RBF network is one kind of Artificial NN but with simpler network design andmore accurate local approximation. The performance of the proposed work is proved through simulationsusing MATLAB/Simulink. Different situations are presented to test the final system, which are the winddisturbance and trajectory tracking. Results are presented in this paper using visual simulation and ISEperformance index. After comparison between the proposed work and ZN-tuned PID controller is made,RBFPID controller wins the deal.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 12Radial Basis Function with PID for Quadcopter: Disturbed Trajectory TrackingNur Hayati Binti Sahrir, Mohd Ariffanan Bin Mohd BasriPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 31Kalman Filter Based Vehicle State of Charge Performance Analysis for DifferentBattery TypesHamzah Ahmad, Mohd Mawardi Saari, Mohd Syakirin Ramli, Nor AqilahOthmanThe Battery Management System (BMS) is critical to the battery's efficient and safe performance. Themonitoring of bat-tery parameters is one of the tasks performed by the BMS. The state of charge of abattery is a critical parameter that indi-cates the amount of charge it contains. Battery SOC estimate is atthe root of the battery management system and SOC has a direct impact on BMS decision-making andcontrol. The Kalman filter correction approach is used in this design, as well as the impact of charge anddischarge rates, temperature, and charge or discharge cycles on SOC estimates. The Kalman fil-tercorrection technique is presented based on this technology, with its application in the pure electric carbattery man-agement system. The findings reveal that the Kalman filter correction algorithm efficientlycorrects the Ah method error, increases estimate accuracy, and offers a more accurate SOC estimationtechnique for battery management systems. An ac-curate estimate of the battery's level of charge iscritical not only for alerting the user, but also for developing a control plan for maintaining the battery'scharacteristics within safe limits in order to extend its life.A b s t r a c t :20

In thispaper, we propose a novel approach for Lego parts recognition based on their unique characteristics. EachLego part is characterized by the presence of circles on its surface, with the size of the circles generallycorresponding to the number of circles present. By analyzing the arrangement of circles, the shape of aLego part can be determined. Our approach focuses on two key aspects: the count of circles and theconnectivity of straight lines through the circle centers. By examining how straight lines intersect, we canaccurately identify the shape of a Lego part. To achieve Lego parts recognition, we employ computer visiontechniques and algorithmic analysis. We first detect and extract circles from images of Lego parts usingthe Hough transform. Next, we analyze the circle count and calculate the connectivity of straight linesbased on the circle centers. By considering the intersection patterns of these lines, we can classify Legoparts into various shapes, including squares, rectangles, triangles, and more complex configurations.Experimental results on a large dataset of Lego parts demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Weachieve a high accuracy rate in recognizing Lego part shapes, with minimal false positives and negatives.Our method offers a promising solution for automating Lego part recognition in assembly and sortingsystems, enabling improved efficiency and productivity.A b s t r a c t :22

Recently, Flux Switching Generator has been widely used due to its ability of having simple constructionsyet high output performances. Hybrid Excitation Flux Switching Generator (HEFSG) are one of thesufficient machines that can reduce the armature winding on the excitation part. However, the impact ofthe HEFSG design parameters on overall electric generator performance cannot be underestimated. This isdue to the generator’s output voltage, power, and thus flux distribution is all determined by itsappropriate geometries. Consequently, the impact of various design factors, such as rotor span angle, rotorpole width, shaft radius, rotor outer radius, stator inner radius, stator pole width and stator back irondimension has been observed. The results for the preliminary design of HEFSG has been obtained with anoutput voltage of 384.87V with 4.26Nm of cogging torque.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 61A Preliminary Design of Hybrid Excitation Flux Switching Generator for SmallScale ApplicationsNur Afiqah Mostaman, Mahyuzie Jenal and Erwan SulaimanPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 2Maximizing Photovoltaic Cell Efficiency: Experimental Investigation on theImpact of Cleaning Methods on Power Output and Cost-effectivenessRuzlaini Ghoni, Mohd Aizat Bin Mohd Sulaiman, Ammar Husaini Hussian,Fuaad@Fuaat Mohamed Nawawi, Ahmad Firdaus Zali, Ahmad FaridRidhwan ZakariaThe performance of photovoltaic panels is greatly influenced by various environmental factors, affectingpower output, conversion efficiency, and energy expenses. Dust, being a significant factor, plays a crucialrole in this regard, with its properties varying based on location and including kind, size, shape, andmeteorology. Soil erosion poses a considerable challenge to the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaicsystems. To address these concerns, a study conducted at Epic Solar Sdn Bhd in Kemaman, Terengganu,Malaysia, investigated the impact of soiling and different dust-cleaning strategies on photovoltaic panels.The research explored the daily and monthly energy production variations based on cleaning agents andfrequency. Three panels underwent monthly cleaning with or without a clean-ing agent, while anothergroup was cleaned weekly without any agents. The findings revealed that soiling is non-uniform over timeand influenced by daily weather changes, with the highest levels occurring from July to November andthe least in May and June. The study concluded that cleaning the panels every two weeks is necessary tominimize losses caused by improper cleaning practices and emphasized that cleaning frequency out-weighs the choice of cleaning chemicals in achieving effective dust removal.A b s t r a c t :PARALLEL SESSION 323

Induction motors are commonly employed for converting electrical power to mechanical power because they areuncomplicated, durable, sturdy, energy-efficient, and appropriate for use in challenging surroundings. An inductionmotor emits a magnetic field of low magnitude that can be harvested. In most cases, researchers focus on capturingmagnetic energy from electrical transmission lines, power plants, and electrical track paths. Though limited studieshave been conducted on magnetic energy harvesting from manufacturing machinery, such as an induction motor, theelectromagnetic transducer developed employs the clamped current-transformer technique. However, no investigationhas been carried out on the extraction of magnetic energy from an induction motor utilizing a clampless current-transformer method, which has similar capabilities for capturing magnetic field energy from an induction motor. Theproposed project aims to create an electromagnetic transducer to harvest magnetic energy from an induction motorwithout a clamp by developing a magnetic field energy harvester. The main goal is to design and build a currenttransformer to capture magnetic energy from an induction motor. Radiation from magnetic fields is used as an energy-harvesting element to provide voltage performance from the induction motor rod core. The design contrasts stainlesssteel and carbon steel for the core material. It also consists of cylindrical and square rods for the core shape and 300 or500 turns for the number of turns. Further, this design provides more flexibility since the transducer does not need tobe clamped to the incoming supply to the induction motor; instead, it can be placed anywhere near the engine wherethe strongest magnetic field exists. The findings demonstrate that a material Carbon Steel long cylindrical core designis the higher output power with 52.95µW for 500 turns.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 7Harvesting Magnetic Energy from Induction Motors: Design and Development ofan Energy HarvesterAmmar Husaini bin Hussian, Ruzlaini Ghoni, Mohd Tarmizi Ibrahim, YoucefMahboub, Afidatul Nadia Mok HatPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 29Analysis of Photovoltaic Module Degradation: An Experimental Investigation onthe Correlation Between Partial Shading, Hot Spots, and EVA DiscolorationMd. Imamul Islam, Mohd Shawal Bin Jadin, Ahmed Al Mansur, MohdSalmizan Bin Mohd Zain, Mohammad Asif Ul HaqThe performance of solar PV modules is impacted by several environmental stressors, including highambient temperatures, inadequate sunlight, shade, dust, soiling, cell damage, etc. To guarantee long-termclean and sustainable energy generation, it is crucial to understand performance degradation and PVmodule reliability. In this current research, an experimental investigation on the degradation analysis ofthree 80-watt monocrystalline PV modules that have been exposed for approximately ten years in atropical environment in Malaysia as well as a correlation between partial shading, hot spots, and EVAdiscoloration has been conducted. The use of visual inspection, I-V curve measurement, thermal imaging,and degradation estimation have all been used to conduct an extensive study throughout this work. Theoutcome demonstrates the rate of degradation and hot spots phenomena of each module because of thepartial shading impact. Hot spots development is to blame for the EVA discoloration seen on Panel 2 andPanel 1 cells. The degradation rates of Panel 1, Panel 2, and Panel 3 are 0.496%, 1.264%, and 0.189% peryear, respectively. The study addressed the fact that dust and dried algae serve as mechanisms of PVdegradation, and hot spots caused by partial shade may have an impact on cell discoloration.A b s t r a c t :24

There have been several significant advances in the field of wind power. Wind turbines have been used forover 2,000 years and are still vital to the 21st century's global energy industry. The importance of advancedwind turbine control methods for inefficient energy collection is growing. The Pitch Control-ler adjusts theWind Turbine (WT) blade using sensors.

Balasubramaniam, I. Musirin, N. A. M. Kamari, A.A. IbrahimMinimizing power loss in transmission systems is crucial for achieving energy efficiency, loweringtemperature rise and less monetary losses leading to a sustainable power system network in a utility.Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTs) have been vastly adopted in minimizing power loss andenhancing voltage profiles in power transmission systems. However, the effectiveness of FACTs devices inachieving these benefits relies heavily on their optimal placement and sizing within the transmissionsystem. Suboptimal solutions on FACTs devices' location and sizing result in under-compensation or over-compensation, both of which are undesirable outcomes. Therefore, robust optimization techniques arenecessary to attain optimal solutions. This study applies evolutionary programming (EP) and artificialimmune system (AIS) as computational intelligence techniques to examine the effects of thyristor-controlled static compensators (TCSC) for loss reduction in power systems. Transmission real power loss isto be minimized, and the voltage profile of the transmission power system is to be improved. This studyshows that the installation of TCSC substantially minimizes power system loss. The IEEE 30-Bus ReliabilityTest System (RTS) is used to validate the proposed application and compensation scheme The applicationof evolutionary programming and artificial immune system techniques provides valuable insights andsolutions to power loss reduction ultimately improving the performance of transmission power systems. Itwas discovered that both techniques are comparable in minimizing the transmission loss in the system.A b s t r a c t :26

Congestion in the power system can result from progressing load in the power system. This phenomenonmay cause system instability which leads to failure in power delivery to the consumer. Thus, congestionmanagement needs to be performed in power system operation and planning. This initiative will require arobust optimization technique so that power failure can be avoided. This paper presents IntegratedAccelerated Mutation Evolutionary Programming for Congestion Management in Power Systems. In thisstudy, a new optimization technique is introduced termed Integrated Accelerated Mutation EP (IAMEP). IAMEP is utilized to identify the optimal sizing and locations for distributed generation installation as anoption to manage the congestion in the power system. A pre-developed voltage stability index, FVSI isutilized as the indicator for congested lines. Validation on the IEEE 30-Bus RTS demonstrates that theproposed technique managed to reduce the congestion in the power system. A comparative study withEP also reflects its superiority in managing the congestion phenomenon. The result would be beneficial topower system operators and planners for their transmission system management.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 107Congestion Management for Voltage Security Control in Power SystemNur Arina Rabuan, Ismail Musirin, Norbaiti Sidik, Nor Azwan MohamedKamari, Norziana Aminudin, Dalina Johari, A.V.

Imamul Islam, Ahmed Al Mansur, Mohd Shawal Bin Jadin, Md.

The PV system arrays met such variables that resulted in mismatched power losses inthe array while producing ener-gy at a large scale. The purpose of this research is to comprehend howirradiance and ageing contribute to mismatch loss, which occurs in PV arrays. In this study, three arrayconfigurations—series, parallel, and series-parallel—are taken into consideration while evaluating theoutput performance degradation of PV mod-ules at two distinct irradiances, 1000 W/m2 and 800 W/m2.The results of the ex-periment show that the deterioration of module power is caused by both irradi-anceand age. At 800 W/m2, the MML% for the series, parallel, and series-parallel topologies are 44.73%, 38.01%,and 42.2%, respectively. At 1000 W/m2, the MML% for the same configurations falls to 30.9%, 22.51%, and27.9%. Fur-thermore, for both irradiances, the parallel setup displays a lower MML than the other twoconfigurations. Additionally, Mono 1 (0.344/year) is the most deterio-rating panel out of the four, accordingto the examination of the deterioration rate of 10-year-old modules. These results emphasize the need toaddress irradiance and ageing in solar energy systems by stressing their negative impacts on powerdegradation and MML in PV modules and arrays.A b s t r a c t :27

Filtration membrane for artificial kidney has been developed and introduced to the medical line as areplacement for hemodialysis and hemofiltration treatment. In this work, three different filter designsmade of Silicon Nitride with varying membrane thickness were studied and the mechanical behavior offiltration membrane which is displacement and stress are analyzed using ANSYS. During the simulation, itwas observed that the highest deflection occurred at the central region of the membrane. The relationshipbetween membrane thickness and displacement can be observed from the results. Thinner membraneswere found to generate higher displacement, as evidenced by Design 3, where a membrane thickness of15nm resulted in a recorded maximum deflection of 1.6um. Conversely, an increase in membranethickness led to a decrease in deflection. It was also found that, Design 1, featuring the thinnest membraneof 15 nm, recorded the highest stress of 2.42 N/m².

However, continuous usage of cooking oil can lead to chemical deterioration, resulting in theformation of harmful compounds for human health, specifically the presence of free fatty acids. In thisstudy, an open-path optical technique combined with spectroscopy was employed to identify these freefatty acids.

Actions or behaviors are typically categorized as being normal or abnormal. A technique used to find rareor unusual patterns, events, or data points that significantly differ from a dataset's expected or typicalbehaviour is known as abnormal activity detection, sometimes referred to as Anomaly detection or outlierdetection. Walking, running, and crossing oil pipelines are seen as regular actions in the context of thisstudy, whereas excavating, drilling, and sawing on the pipeline are regarded as anomalous action. Adataset designed exclusively for oil pipeline Vandalism detection (anomaly) is not publicly available, a newdataset was created and used to train and test the algorithm. The two main activity/action recognitionprocesses are typically feature extraction and classification. Feature extraction entails collecting significantfeature vectors from a dataset (videos) that can capture the features of the behaviours, whereasclassification looks for the presence or absence of specific patterns to classify a video dataset as normal orabnormal. For feature extraction, Google and Xception Fine Tuned Networks are utilized, and acomparison is done to determine the best Network. Evaluation metrics such as elapsed time and accuracyserved as the benchmark for comparison/selection. Experimental results reveal that Xception Netoutperforms Google Network. Utilizing the feature vectors obtained from the Xception Network, LongShort-Term Memory (LSTM) is used to categorize the activity.

Thresholding is a type of segmentation that involves dividing the pixels into separate groups based on their intensitylevel according to one or more threshold values. Thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique forconverting gray-level images to binary images. This paper will demonstrate a Multilevel Thresholding (MTH) for imagesegmentation based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. This paper shows the designing process for an imagesegmentation module using multilevel thresholding. The multilevel thresholding algorithm divides pixels into discretezones, that segment the objects in the image, and it is the greatest solution for segmenting real-world pictures. Thegrey level histogram is used to determine the threshold point. It shows that each image has its own set of optimumthreshold values. From there, we can get the optimum threshold value for multilevel thresholding based on theArtificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. To get the optimum threshold value, Otsu’s method has been used. After applyingOtsu’s Method, the algorithm is then analyzed by comparing the performance of multilevel thresholding using well-known benchmarks, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). The result shows that theABC algorithm performs almost the same as the other three methods, which are Harmony Search (HS), DifferentialEvolution (DE) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This can be seen from the results of PSNR and SSIM which showsmall margins of difference between the four algorithms. It can be concluded that the ABC algorithm is proven toperform well in image segmentation. From the collected data, there are significant changes in the PSNR and SSIMvalues due to the various multilevel thresholding techniques.

Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensors have transformed the measurement of water quality parameterssuch as a pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), ortemperature sensor. A recent study using Saccharomyces boulardii as a model microorganism at theUniversiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) biotechnology facility demonstrates this. After an hour of bacterialinoculation, the DO sensor was able to detect the presence of bacteria in the water, with the maximal DOreading increasing from 4 ppm to 8 ppm. However, after five hours, the DO level returned to normal due tothe yeast's acclimation process. When the concentration of Saccharomyces boulardii was increased from50 to 100 percent, the study found that the DO readings fluctuated. The 50% sample required up to 4hours to normalize from 7.824 mg/l to 4.804 mg/l, whereas the 100% sample required 6 hours to normalizefrom 6.288 mg/l to 4.36 mg/l. This was due to the yeast depleting more oxygen from the culture medium,which harmed the yeast in the long run. The study concluded that IoT-based sensors can accuratelymeasure water quality parameters and detect the presence of microbes in water. The study also revealedthat the concentration of Saccharomyces boulardii can impact the DO reading, with higherconcentrations taking longer time to normalize. This emphasizes the significance of employing IoT-basedsensors to accurately measure water quality parameters.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 80IoT-Enabled Water Quality Sensor: Detecting Concentration of SaccharomycesBoulardii Bacteria to Enhance Water SafetyMuhammad Aqil Hafizzan Nordin, Mohd Faizal Jamlos and AbdelmoneimA.

The extraction of the region of interest (ROI) in hand vein images plays a crucial role in their detection.Accurately extracting the vein area faces chal-lenges such as variations in hand poses, lighting conditions,orientation, ap-pearance, and noisy background. Although numerous techniques have been proposed forROI extraction of hand veins, their capabilities are often limited to a specific hand pose and location. Toaddresses this limitation, this paper presents a deep learning- approach using Faster R-CNN for adaptiveROI vein extraction. The proposed system is evaluated using two hand vein data-bases: self-acquisitionand SUAS, encompassing diverse hand poses. To as-sess the performance of the proposed technique, it iscompared to two exist-ing ROI vein extraction techniques. The comparative results demonstrate that theproposed technique achieves impressive performance in accurately locating the ROIs for various handposes and locations. By employing a deep learning-based approach and evaluating its effectiveness ondifferent hand vein databases, this appear offers a promising solution for adaptive ROI vein extraction,overcoming the limitations of existing techniques.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 88Hand Vein ROI Extraction using Faster R-CNNMarlina Yakno, Junita Mohamad Saleh, Mohd Zamri Ibrahim, SyamimiMardiah Shaharum, Rohana Abdul Karim33

Condition based monitoring (CBM) has emerged as a promising technique for assessing the condition andperformance of various mechanical systems, including lift motors. This paper focuses on the application ofvibration signal analysis for SHM of lift motors, enabling the early detection of potential faults andensuring reliable and safe operation. Lift motors are subjected to various mechanical stresses, vibrations,and operational loads during their service life. These factors can lead to wear, fatigue, and other structuralis-sues that may compromise the motor's performance and reliability. Vibration analysis has proven to bean effective non-intrusive method for monitoring the dynamic behavior of lift motors and detecting earlysigns of degradation. The acquired vibration signals are processed and analyzed using various techniques,such as Fourier analysis, time-frequency analysis and Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA)model. The ARIMA model is capable of capturing the underlying patterns and trends in time series data,making it suitable for forecasting and anomaly detection in vibration signals.

Wirelesscommunication, power transmission, and communica-tions gadgets utilized in our daily lives, such as mobile phones,tablets, and laptop computers, expose people to electromagnetic pollution. The pervasiveness of these technologieshas raised concerns regarding the safety of human radio fre-quency radiation exposure. The effectiveness of radiation-absorbing materials (RAM) in absorbing microwave energy has led to an increase in attention in re-cent years.Substantial research has been conducted to produce new radiation-absorbing materials with great absorbingperformance. In this research, anti-microwave brick walls were developed. As we know, brick is a fundamental buildingunit and the most often used construction material.

Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors have become increasingly popular for Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) applications, especially in eddy current inspec-tion. GMR sensors have high sensitivity and low noisecharacteristics, and they have been used for detecting surface cracks in conductive materials and monitor-ing the structural health of steel bridge cables. According to the GMR sensor ap-plication, it also can beused for detecting corrosion on pipelines compared to conventional eddy current systems that are onlyapplicable to measure the coating thickness and depth of defect on pipeline. In this work, the designing ofa GMR sensor probe by using coil as the excitation signal transmitter has been done for measuring thedepth of defect based on a calibration block on two types of mate-rial within brass and mild steelmaterial. This system will measure the lower depth is 0.5mm and the higher depth 5mm. The turn of coilfor the excitation sig-nal transmitter is set on 600turns where the diameter of the coil is 0.17mm. Based onthe Brass steel calibration block, a sudden increase occurs at a defect depth of 5mm which is as much as2.443Vp compared to the previous one which is 2.427Vp (4.5mm) and 2.421Vp (4mm). In addition, a suddenincrease also oc-curred for mild steel, which is in the defect depth of 3.5mm, which is 2.458Vp comparedto the previous 2.441Vp (3mm) and 2.431Vp (2.5mm). Finally, the re-sult shows that when the depth ofdefect is increased then the value of signal Voltage peak (Vp) also increases.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 13Designing GMR Sensor Probe using Transmitter Coil for Artificial CrackIdentification on Brass and Mild Steel Calibration BlockKharudin Bin Ali, Nazry Abdul Rahman, Damhuji Bin Rifai, Zulfikri Salleh.Ahmad Anwar Zikri OthmanPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 44Performance evaluation of Smoothed Functional Algorithm based methods forSigmoid-PID Control optimization in MIMO Twin-Rotor SystemsMok, RenHao; Ahmad, Mohd AshrafThis paper explores the tuning of the Sigmoid Proportional-Integral-Derivative (SPID) controller usingvariations of the Smoothed Functional Algorithm (SFA) for the underactuated Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) twin-rotor system. The SPID controller, incorporating a sigmoid function, extends theapplicability of traditional PID controllers to complex, non-linear systems. However, SPID tuning presentschallenges due to the added control parameters and the inherent non-linearity of the sigmoid function. Toeffectively tune the SPID con-troller, SFA is recommended, which stochastically optimizes the parameterspace without requiring an explicit mathematical model. However, the standard SFA suffers from unstableconvergence issues, necessitating modified approaches such as the Norm-Limited SFA (NLSFA) andMemory-Based SFA (MSFA). NLSFA constrains gradient approximation within boundaries, preventingexcessively large approximations that lead to divergence but at the cost of an additional optimizationparameter. The MSFA introduces a memory function to consider optimal solutions from previousiterations, promoting continuous convergence. The effectiveness of these SFA variations in optimizingSPID controllers for a MIMO twin-rotor system is compared, offering insights into the control andoptimization of complex non-linear systems.A b s t r a c t :36

Corrosion is one of the most common problems associated with steel structures. The occurrence ofcorrosion may lead to metal loss, at which point might threaten the integrity of a steel structure.Therefore, the employment of magnetic flux leak-age (MFL) and eddy current testing (ECT) is beneficial inproviding detection of metal loss due to corrosion. Thus, a differential magnetic probe using both meth-ods is developed. The probe consists of two fluxgate sensors and an excitation coil. Then, a line scanmeasurement is conducted on a 6-mm mild steel sample with metal loss defects. From the result of theline scan measurement of the MFL signals, the presence and depth of the defects could be identified.Meanwhile, on-ly the defect presence can be identified from the ECT signals, although only re-stricted tohigher frequencies detectionPaper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 23Development of a Differential Magnetic Probe to Evaluate Metal Loss due toCorrosionMohd Aufa Hadi Putera Zaini, Mohd Mawardi Saari, Ummi Sabihah MohdYusdi, Nurul A’in Nadzri and Zulkifly AzizPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 20Magnetic Field Sensor Based on Corroded Multi-mode Fiber StructureNurainie Husin, Chew Sue Ping, Latifah Sarah Bt.

. Battery lifetime and performance are critical concerns for electric vehicles (EV’s)and energy storagesystems (ESS). However, factors such as environmental variations and manufacturing defects often resultin charge imbalance among battery cells, leading to reduced energy capacity and power performance ofthe entire battery pack. To address this issue, cell equalization becomes necessary. In recent years, theadvancements in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have made it a viable tool for battery managementsystems in electric vehicles. In this research paper, a new method is introduced for active cell balancing ofa battery pack consisting of four series connected lithium-ion batteries. The approach utilizes deepreinforcement learning (DRL) within a MATLAB simulation. A deep Q-learning (DQL) algorithm is used forthe training of DRL agent, and a dc-dc Zeta converter is used to transfer the excess charge from theovercharged cell to the under-charged cell in the battery pack. Additionally, the proposed equalizationtopology focuses on selecting the specific cells that requires balancing, aim-ing to enhance the speed ofthe equalization process.

This paper presents a study on the impact of Distributed Generation (DG) types and penetration levels onloss control in transmission systems. To achieve this, an Artificial Immune System (AIS) algorithm isutilized in conjunction with MATLAB simulations on the IEEE 30-Bus Reliability Test System (RTS).Penetration level is defined as the number of DGs installed within the system, and four types of DGs areconsidered based on their real and reactive power delivery/consumption characteristics. The simulationresults are divided into two parts: the first part focuses on randomizing DG location and sizing to obtainthe minimum total system loss, while the second part investigates the effect of DG penetration level ontotal system loss reduction with fixed DG capacity. The study demonstrates that installing four Type-1 DGsleads to the highest total system loss reduction. Moreover, higher DG penetration levels result in greatertotal system loss reduction with DGs of the same capacity. These findings offer insights for optimizing DGdeployment strategies in transmission systems, thus enhancing their efficiency and reliability.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 9Assessing the Effects of DG Types and Penetration Levels on TransmissionSystem Loss Control through Computational Intelligence-Based TechniqueMohd Helmi MansorPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 11Optimal Placement of Renewable Distributed Generation and Capacitor Bank toMinimize losses with Particle Swarm OptimizationSN Syed Nasir, T Sohail, JJ Jamian and R AyopPower loss is an important aspect of the power system that must be kept as low as possible. The optimalsiting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) and shunt capacitor at distribution networks for thepurpose of minimizing real power loss is attracting a lot of attention from electric power utilities thesedays.

This paper presents a performance analysis of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Par-ticle Swarm Optimization(PSO) based Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers for regulating the output voltage of a Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHMI) during load variations. Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is the mostcommon controller used to solve this issue due to its simple structure, high stabil-ity, minimal steady stateerror and ease of implementation. However, the perfor-mance of this controller is sensitive to parametervariation and has limited per-formance for nonlinear systems such as CHMI. The study aims to evaluateand compare the effectiveness of GA and PSO in achieving voltage regulation in the CHMI system usingMATLAB Simulink. GA and PSO are applied to optimize the parameters of the PI controller to maintain thedesired output voltage despite load variations. The simulation experiments are conducted under loadvariations to assess the performance of the controllers. The simulation results demonstrate that both GAand PSO based PI controllers effectively regulate the output voltage of the CHMI system during loadvariations. However, a comprehensive analysis reveals that the PSO algorithm outperforms the GAalgorithm in terms of voltage regulation accuracy and response time.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 99Performance Analysis of GA and PSO Based PI Controller for Cascaded H-bridgeMultilevel Inverter Output Voltage RegulationNur Huda Binti Ramlan, Habri bin Marzuki, Suliana Ab.

However, traditional methods for anomaly detection present certainlimitations. For instance, older techniques often rely on statistical-based approaches, such as usingstandard deviation and assuming a normal data distribution, to identify anomalies based on statisticalattributes. While these methods have paved the way for more advanced approaches, such as XGBoost andIsolation Forest, which capture complex patterns and relationships in the data, providing improvedaccuracy and flexibility in anomaly detection. This paper proposes a method for anomaly detection invehicle traffic flow using XGBoost and Isolation Forest algorithms. XGBoost is a powerful gradient boostingframework that effectively captures complex patterns in the data, while Isolation Forest is an unsupervisedlearning algorithm that isolates anomalies based on their unique characteristics.

Thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique forconverting grey-level images to binary images,. This project is a Multilevel Thresholding Algorithm for imagesegmentation based on Differential Evolution. We have design an image segmentation module using MultilevelThresholding (MTH). The Multilevel Thresholding (MTH) technique separates pixels into discrete zones that respect theimage’s objects and is the best option for segmenting real-world images. The histogram of an image determines thethreshold point. It demonstrates that each image has a unique set of optimal threshold values. From that, we get theoptimum threshold value in Multilevel Thresholding (MTH) based on Differential Evolution. We apply the Otsu methodto identify the best optimum threshold value. After using Otsu’s techniques, we examine the system by comparingMultilevel Thresholding (MTH) performance with different optimization, which is called benchmark function, PeakSignal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). The outcome demonstrates that the DifferentialEvolution algorithm almost matches the performance of the Harmony Search (HS), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), andParticle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approaches. This is evident from the PSNR and SSIM values, which reveal littledifferences across the four techniques. It can be concluded that the Differential Evolution algorithm performs well andachieves nearly the same PSNR and SSIM value as other image segmentation techniques. Due to the numerousmultilevel thresholding techniques, the PSNR and SSIM values from the obtained data show substantial variations. Thequality of the segmented image increases with level.A b s t r a c t :48

Heart rate, a critical health indicator, is typically measured using contact methods such aselectrocardiography (ECG). However, there is a growing interest in the development of non-contactmonitors, which offer considerable advantages. These include eliminating skin irritation, reducingdiscomfort, and minimizing the risk of infection, making them perfectly suited for long-term, continuousmonitoring. Importantly, when patients are unaware of being measured, it can prevent intentional orsubconscious alterations in their heart rate, thereby enhancing the reliability and accuracy of the results.This study aimed to examine the comparative efficacy and precision of two heart rate measurementdevices the mmWave high radio frequency radar and oximeter, at varying distances and conditions,including situations with and without obstruction. The devices were tested for accuracy and consistencyin readings at distances of 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm, and 120 cm. The findings demonstrated that both devicesprovided highly accurate and consistent readings when there were no obstructions, regardless of thedistance. The waveforms produced by the devices were comparable, suggesting minimal deviation and astrong correlation between the two sets of results. Even in the presence of obstructions, the devicesmaintained their high degree of accuracy, with only minor variations in readings. At 60 cm, the margin oferror was found to be just plus or minus 4 bpm, indicating a remarkable tolerance to obstacles. Whencompared at greater distances, i.e., at 90 cm and 120 cm, with obstructions, the error margin slightlyincreased but remained within an acceptable range. This underlined the devices' robustness and theirability to deliver reliable results under less-than-ideal conditions. In conclusion, the mmWave radardemonstrated high levels of precision and consistency across various distances and conditions to estimatethe heart rate value.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 135Non-Contact Heart Rate Estimation using mmWave High Radio FrequencyRadarAl-Hasanol Gumanti Sudirman, Mohd Zamri Ibrahim, Ikhwan HafizMuhamad, Rosdiyana Samad and Wan Nur Azhani W.

This project aims to identify the initial covariance value of a ROS-based mobile robot, specifically the Turtlebot3 Burger.The basic navigation of the robot re-quires a significant amount of data and resources to process the output path. Toaddress this challenge, the Kalman Filter algorithm is implemented in this robot, as it is widely used for mobile robotnavigation and system integration. One crucial parameter for implementing the Kalman Filter is the covariance matrix,which needs to be determined. Understanding the specifications of the robot is essential for programming andoperating it effectively. The system model of this robot is developed based on the kinematic model of a two-wheeledmobile robot. To exe-cute this project, an experimental setup consisting of a laptop and a robot, serving as the ROSMaster and ROS Slave respectively, is required. Furthermore, the project aims to comprehend the function andefficiency of the robot's performance, including the LiDAR sensor, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, andOdometry sensor. These sensors are mounted on the robot to achieve accurate localization. An indoor experiment wasconducted to determine the covariance value. Different sources of sensor information are fused into a singlerepresentational format called sensor fusion. By using an extended Kalman filter (EKF), data from Odometry and IMUsensors were combined to estimate the position and orientation of the mobile robot. The identified covariance valuewill serve as the initial covariance matrix for the implementation of the Kalman Filter-based system using this robot.The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is suitable and practical for real-world applicationsPaper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 127Enhancing Navigation Accuracy of Turtlebot3 Burger Mobile Robot throughInitial Covariance Matrix DeterminationMuhammad Haniff Gusrial, Muhammad Luqman Hakim Abdullah, NurAqilah Othman and Hamzah AhmadPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 129Development of Portable Solar Fertigation SystemNajwa Ayuni Abdullah, Muhammad Shakirin Shapee, Muhammad ArifOsman and Roshahliza M RamliPortable solar fertilization devices offer numerous benefits in agricultural systems, including cost reduction andincreased efficiency. The proposed development utilizes solar energy to power fertigation systems, making them idealfor gardens, farms, and agricultural settings. The fertilization process involves using a liquid drop system that ensuresplants efficiently absorb the available nutrients. A 12 V solar panel converts solar energy into electrical power, which isstored in a battery for later use. By utilizing timers, the fertigation system can be activated at specific times each day,further streamlining operations. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept has revolutionized farmingpractices. Real-time monitoring and control of the pump, facilitated through the IoT, enhance water usage efficiencyand enable convenient farming operations. A portable and eco-friendly water pump, powered by a solar panel, can becontrolled remotely using a mobile application that also provides environmental monitoring. Temperature andhumidity sensors measure air conditions, while a soil moisture sensor detects changes in moisture levels, alerting thesystem to the need for fertilization. A rain sensor module detects raindrops and measures intensity, ensuring that plantsare not overwatered during the rainy season. The system incorporates Blynk software, which displays temperature andhumidity conditions and enables remote control of the fertilization system via Wi-Fi communication. Using this efficientfertilizer system can lead to a steady income for farmers. Compared to traditional agriculture, labour costs aresignificantly reduced, resulting in lower operational costs and the ability to sell crops at more affordable prices.A b s t r a c t :52

Olive oil, a vegetable oil with numerous health benefits, possesses distinctive nutritional characteristicsclosely linked to its chemical composition. The formation of these characteristics primarily takes placeduring the oil's production, storage, and handling of raw materials. It is worth noting that olive oil alsocontains acidity, which can present challenges. Consumption of olive oil can potentially contribute todisorders associated with saturated fat. Hence, the primary objective of this project is to examine the levelof free fatty acids (FFA) in heated olive oil and identify the optimal absorption wavelength. Spectroscopytechniques will be employed to analyse free fatty acid in olive oil. UV/Vis spectroscopy allows theinvestigation of a sample's electronic structure and facilitates the identification of compounds present.Four different olive oils are tested at varying heating times. By measuring the FFA due to heating, theimpact of different heating conditions on the oil can be assessed. Prolonged heating leads to a greaterdegree of oxidation. Through this analysis, consumers will gain a better understanding and be morecautious when using olive oil.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 131Analysis of Heated Olive Cooking Oil Using A Spectroscopy TechniqueN.F.M Fadzila, W.S.

To maintain the long-term reliability of photovoltaic modules while maximizing the power output,possible faults in the photovoltaic modules need to be diagnosed early. Aerial thermal image inspection iscommonly used to detect and locate the hotspots of the photovoltaic modules. However, detecting ahotspot from this image can be severely affected by noises and thus can wrongly locate the hotspot dueto thermal reflection from the surrounding. One of the solutions is by examining both visual and thermalimages of the photovoltaic modules. This paper presents multi-spectral image matching of thephotovoltaic modules. First, absolute structure map (SMi) and directional structure map (DSMi) areproposed. A histogram of the oriented gradient is then used to describe each interest point’s local regionbased on the SMi and DSMi. Next, the Gabor wavelet filter is applied to the SMi, whereas the average filteris applied to the DSMi to construct the histogram bins. Finally, the normalized feature vectors areconjoined. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed structure map feature descriptor’sperformance. The results showed that this method could provide Precision and recall up to 0.82 and 0.97,respectively.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 82Local Feature Descriptor Based on Directional Structure Map for Improving theHotspot Detection in the Multispectral Aerial Image of a Large-Scale PV SystemTan Li Ven, Mohd Shawal Bin Jadin, Muhammad Khusairi Osman, Mohd.Shafie Bakar, Md.

A signature is a handwritten representation of a person's name, nickname, or other mark affixed to papers to verify theiridentity and intent. A hand-written signature identifies the work as well as its creator. Every person's signature isdifferent, make it crucial to recognize a person's handwritten signature. Besides, doing human verification might beimperfect and uncertain at times. In some cases, signatures on papers are occluded by document texts or rubberstamp, which making them difficult to verify. The same might be said for antique documents, which the signatures maynot always be visible. Others, when a client's signature has slight alterations in the pattern, some financial transactionrequests cannot be validated precisely. Handwritten signature verification is a challenging task that has been widelystudied in recent decades to solve all the problems. Despite the progress that has been made, it remains as an activearea of research, with new techniques and approaches being developed all the time. Researchers are experimentingwith a variety of methods for distinguishing between genuine and forged signatures. Motivation to these problems, anovel method is proposed for reliably recognizing of signatures in documents and performing identification checkingusing CNN-based deep learning algorithm. The proposed algorithm's validity is determined by the matching sign withthe online signature database. An autoencoder is utilized to create random distortions in genuine photos from thedatabase, which were then given to the classifier during training to create false signatures. The proposed algorithm isbased on Siamese Network, which works on two inputs from VGG-16 with the same weight and same structure, andpro-duce two features.

Children are often being ignoredby their par-ents with the engine off. Furthermore, there are also children being ignored due tounstoppable calls from work. Next, existing systems with only 1 de-tection used have a limit eitherdetecting face or signal detection. Most of the software tools have a limitation in detecting human face ina low light situation. Other than that, the obstacle like hand will decrease the accuracy of face detection.This project aims to develop a complete and adequate face detection system for detecting the presence ofchildren in the car by detect-ing human physical features with temperature and sensor technology. Theobjective is to enhance the visualization of images for human identification and to measure theperformance of the features selections for detection sys-tem. There are 100 sample images of child facesbeing collected, and three filters are being compared for image enhancement: fastNIMe-anDenoisingColored, histogram equalizer and median filter. During normal daylight,fastNIMeanDenoisingColored achieves the highest percentage of accuracy of face and hand detectionwith 90%, followed by without filter and Median Filter with 90% accuracy.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent health issue associated with long-term diabetes, often leading tovarious complications. One characteristic manifestation of DR is the development of exudates in theretinal region. Fundus image analysis serves as a common method for diagnosing DR, rely-ing on theexpertise of ophthalmologists. Recently, computer-assisted diag-nostic tools have enhanced the speed ofdiagnosis, provided diverse perspec-tives, and evaluated treatment outcomes. Consequently, numerousstudies have focused on identifying diabetic retinopathy lesions in fundus images. This research aims toextract exudate features using the superpixel and Ga-bor methods in fundus retinal images. Acombination of image processing with the superpixel algorithm is compared with the Gabor featureextraction method. The findings reveal that the superpixel method outperforms the Ga-bor method inaccurately extracting exudate characteristics. The achieved re-sults indicate a 90% accuracy for thesuperpixel method and 78.3% accuracy for the Gabor method. These outcomes underscore the superiorperformance of the superpixel method in exudate extraction from fundus images. This study contributesto advancing the field of diabetic retinopathy analysis and highlights the potential of the superpixelmethod in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 89Comparative Analysis of Superpixel and Gabor Methods for Exudate FeatureExtraction in Diabetic Retinopathy Fundus ImagesNur Munirah Suhaimi, Rosdiyana Samad, Nor Rul Hasma Abdullah,Mahfuzah Mustafa, Mohd.

Therefore, it is crucial to implement preventive maintenance programs that closely monitorthese variations. In mo-tor thermal modeling, calculations involving the convection thermal coeffi-cientare necessary. The coefficient relies on the average temperature of the motor surface, traditionallymeasured using a thermocouple. However, using the predefined shapes provided by Testo Software mayinclude irrelevant are-as, which can affect the accuracy of the average temperature calculation. To addressthis limitation, this paper proposes an image-processing technique to segment only the relevant area ofinterest. By utilizing this technique, the av-erage temperature can be calculated more accurately.Furthermore, a compara-tive analysis will be conducted to compare the average temperature obtainedthrough the image-processing technique with that obtained using Testo Soft-ware. This analysis aims todemonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique in achieving more precise temperaturemeasurements in the context of motor thermal analysis.A b s t r a c t :65

Bell’s palsy is one the main causes of facial nerve paralysis and it is a condition in which the muscles onone side of the face become suddenly weak. The weakening causes the lower half of the face to droop.One-sided smile is common in Bell’s palsy cases and the affected eye refuses to close. This can cause theeye to become extremely dry and inflamed, often leading to exposure keratitis. By studying the differencesof eyes blinking between normal and Bell’s palsy patient, the aim of this study is to design a computer-assisted diagnosis tool in evaluating of the facial nerve function. This study aims to extract the significantfeatures by using the Viola-Jones algorithm.

In an application with a high temperature and restricted volume constraints, the synchronous reluctance(SynRM) machine with passive rotor is a prevalent solu-tion. To attain a high torque density, the rotorstructure exhibits complex geome-try of either flux barrier or segmented rotor to achieve a high saliencyratio. This study evaluates the consequence of having the flux barrier and segmented rotor structure onthe stress and deformation of a small SynRM with a rotor diameter measuring 25.24 mm. The analysis isconducted using FE where torsional force and centrifugal for were affected to the rotor structure at atorque of 0.2 Nm and rotational speed of 10,000 rpm. The results show that the centrifugal force is morecritical as it generates higher stress for both rotor designs. The flux-barrier rotor experiences lesscentrifugal-induced stress at 5.46 MPa compared to 10.92 MPa of the segmented rotor. However, bothrotors will not suffer from perma-nent deformation. A hypothetical dimension scale-up indicates that theflux barri-er has a higher stress of 547.56 MPa and deformation due to centrifugal force and exceeds thematerial yield strength at 10 times its current dimension.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 92Comparison of Stress and Deformation due to Electromagnetic Torque in SynRMwith Flux-Barrier and Segmented RotorC.

However, the intermittent nature of solar power and the presence of time-varying loads posechallenges to the optimal planning and utilization of PV systems. This research focuses on addressing theoptimal planning of PVDG considering time-varying loads. The backward/forward sweep power flow(BFSPF) with mix-integer optimization by genetic algorithm (MIOGA) methods are used to optimally sizeand locate PVDGs in the radial distribution network (RDN) while considering the dynamic nature of loadsover time. There are three time-varying load cases: residential, commercial, and industrial. In MATLAB, theapproach is evaluated using a conventional 33-bus RDN. With the installation of PVDG, the simulationresults show a reduction in total power loss and an improvement in voltage magnitudes for the network.According to the findings, multi-PVDG installation in the residential, commercial, and industrial loadmodels can minimize power losses by up to 58.96%, 54.49%, and 56.92%, respectively. Aside from loweringlosses, installing PVDG also helps to enhance the voltage profile of the radial distribution network. Thefindings highlight the importance of considering load fluctuation to achieve optimal integration of PVDGinto power distribution networks, ultimately contributing to the transition towards a sustainable energyfuture.A b s t r a c t :PARALLEL SESSION 1267

Several factors cause the output degradation of the photovoltaic (PV) module. The main affectingelements are the higher PV module temperature, the shaded cell, the shortened or conducting bypassdiode, and the soiled and degraded PV array. However, one key factor in making photovoltaic installationsa profita-ble investment is regular and effective inspections in order to detect occurred defects.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are increasingly used in various in-spection fields in Large Scale Solar(LSS). Nowadays, infrared thermography (IRT) technology is widely used for hotspot detection. Comparedwith manual inspection, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can improve work efficiency greatlyin large-scale PV plants. The IRT image processing of PV modules is important for hotspot detection.Without the segmentation of PV modules, the hotspot location cannot be determined. In this paper, weproposed a method to combine mask images with IRT images to acquire segmentation. MATLAB imageprocessing and computer vision using color threshold are used. This paper shows experimental results forthirty photovoltaic (PV) mod-ules. From thirty photovoltaic (PV) modules, there are five photovoltaic (PV)modules that cannot be segmented very well. The color and temperature of the IR image cannot besimply to segment. The hotspot cell may occur due to re-flection from the sunlight to the photovoltaic.Quantitative evaluation is used to assess our quality method. The average quality of the output mask is83.3%, which indicates the method performs well in segmentation.Paper ID: TITLE: A b s t r a c t :AUTHOR(S): 137Fusion Colour Model for Photovoltaic (PV) SegmentationAzura @ Nurul Shuhada Binti Daud, Rohana Binti Abd Karim, MohdShawal Bin JadinPaper ID: TITLE: AUTHOR(S): 108Solar-Powered IoT-Integrated Air Quality System with ESP-NOW for Real-TimeOutdoor MonitoringLiphia Law Li Wen, Norasyikin Fadilah, Mohd Zamri Ibrahim, Ikhwan HafizMuhamad and Rohana Abdul KarimAir quality in Malaysia is worsening due to increased vehicle usage and wildfire in Indonesia.

With the integration of distributed generation (DG), the reliability dynamics of these networkshave undergone significant transformations. However, most of the existing research in this area haspredominantly focused on voltage and power loss-based DG placement strategies, neglecting theimportance of reliability-based placement methods. Therefore, this paper aims to bridge this gap byinvestigating the impact of placing DGs with different penetration levels on the effectiveness of networkreliability. To achieve this objective, the study utilizes the IEEE 9-bus and 14-bus systems as test cases forsimulating network reliability. The widely adopted Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) approach is employedwithin comprehensively evaluate both customer-related and system reliability performance. Thesimulation outcomes yield important reliability indices, including System Average Interruption FrequencyIndex (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), and Customer Average InterruptionDuration Index (CAIDI). The results demonstrate the varying impacts of DG placement and penetrationlevels on network reliability, unveiling the intricate relationship between these factors and overall systemreliability.A b s t r a c t :70
