ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents a method for determining the maintenance
scheduling generating units with reliability and production cost consideration.
Probabilistic approach is used to determine the performance and to evaluate
reliability indices and production cost of power system. The calculation is
performed by using round off techniques together with a developed algorithm to
calculate an optimal maintenance plan. A computer program is developed on a
microcomputer to determine maintenance scheduling of a power system and used to
analyse an IEEE standard test system. The result shows that the developed
method can be used to find an optimal plan within a short computing time.
Within the developed program, the maintenance scheduling plan for a system with
more than 100 generating units can be computed within a short period of time.

ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents a design, construction and testing of a dc-to-ac
converter using an HF transformer and a line-frequency unfolding circuit. The
regulated output voltage is nearly constant when the dc input varies in the
range of 160-200 volts. The control technique consists of varying the
phase-shift between driving signals of two half-bridge circuits, the voltage
difference of which provides the output voltage. Resonant technique is used to
reduce switching loss. The envelope of the output voltage of the HF transformer
is an absolute sine. By rectifying and filtering the high-frequency components
of this voltage, a rectified wave is obtained. A line-frequency unfolding
circuit converts this into a sine-wave of 220 volts, 50 Hz. The output power is
500 watts.

ABSTRACT :
The objective of the thesis is to calculate unit commitment of a large

developed on a microcomputer for study and analysis. This program is applied to
solve the unit commitment problem of test systems, consisting 110 thermal

duality gap will be obtained. With the employed method the obtained feasible
solution will be closer to suboptimal solution. With the dynamic programming
method employed in solving the subproblem and the independent number of
iteration from the size of generation system for solving the lagrangian
relaxation method, therefore the computation time linearly increases in
proportion to the number of generating units.

KEYWORDS : SERIES ACTIVE POWER FILTER % HARMONIC SUPPRESSOR % VOLTAGE
ABSTRACT :
In this thesis, we study the benefits and disadvantages of several
kinds of harmonic filters, and propose a novel series active power filter
(SAPF) for suppressing the harmonic currents flowing between the power source
and loads. At harmonic frequencies, the SAPF will behave like a series resistor
inserted between the source and loads. In addition, at the fundamental
frequency, the SAPF will then behave like a series capacitor or inductor
inserted between the source and loads for compensation of the voltage drop and
improving the power factor of the system. Calculation of harmonic suppression
voltage is carried out through space vector representation which uses the
synchronously rotating frame of the fundamental frequency (50 Hz) as a
reference frame. Stability analysis of the harmonic suppression system is also
discussed using the Nyquist Plot. Experimental results verify the feasibility
of the proposed series active power filter.

ABSTRACT :
The purpose of this paper was to increase the throughput of
nonblocking switch by arranging the priority packet into 2 levels which were
high priority packet and low priority packet. The study of J. S. C. Chen and R.
Guerin (1991) showed that the maximum throughput of 64x64 nonblocking switch
was attained at the arrival rate of high priority packet 0.45 by using an
approximate analysis. The result of this study found that the exact number of
high priority packets which gave the maximum throughput was 0.375 and L. Li, C.
Hu and P. Liu (1994) showed that the maximum throughput of 128x128 nonblocking
switch was attained at the arrival rate of high priority packets 0.425 by using
the iteration method. The result of this study found that the exact number of
high priority packets which gave the maximum throughput was 0.421875.
However,only the arrival rate of high priority packet was used in J. S. C. Chen
and L. Li study. The result of this research was found that the maximum
throughput depended on the arrival rate of the high priority packets and the
number of inputs. The maximum throughput of switch was found between 0.25 and
0.5. As an example,when the switch had 4096 input ports,the arrival rate of
high priority packet which yielded the maximum throughput was 0.4531. The
minimum buffers which were used for preventing the loss of packets is between
27.6 and 100 percent of time slots. The waiting time is between 13 and 23
percent of time slots and the delay time is between 14 and 24 percent of time
slots.

ABSTRACT :
This thesis reports the design and construction of 1000 kV resistor
and capacitor type impulse voltage dividers. The capacitor voltage divider is
damped with either external resistor or external and internal distributed
resistors along the high voltage part. For resistor type, the high voltage part
is made of Ni-Cr resistance wire wound non-inductively which gives the
resistance of 9.77 k.... The scale factor of the voltage divider is 884.94 and
38217.5 for the whole resistive measuring system. In case of capacitor type,
the high voltage part consists of a large number of small polyester film
capacitors connected in parallel and in series which gives the effective
capacitance of 385.81 pF. The scale factor of the voltage divider is 1030.65
and 38883.4 for the whole capacitive measuring system. The tests of both
impulse voltage divider characteristics were performed in accordance with IEC
60-2 (1994), including: step response measurement with the effect of shielding
to resistor type, scale factor, dynamic behaviour, linearity and withstand
voltage tests at 110 % of rated voltage. The comparative measurement between
both constructed impulse voltage dividers was carried out. The test results
show that both impulse voltage divider characteristics meet the requirements of
standard specifications.

or a PC-compatible| computer. The C programming language is chosen. The
training set is| divided into modules and is used by connecting it to the
printer port of the IBM PC. This can enhance its use in the future. It is
composed of twelve experiments. The students will learn the fundamental methods
used in control systems, namely, digital input/output, analog to digital
conversion, digital to analog conversion, timer/counter, interrupt, data
communication, and programming in control system, and can apply these methods
to some other projects. The training set speed is about 30 kHz measured with a
386-40 MHz microcomputer, which determines the execution speed of data
input/output instructions; the speed can be faster with further development.
The training set expands the single printer port to 256 ports of 8-bit data,

ABSTRACT :
Fuzzy control is an alternative for controlling process. It does not
require exact mathematical model in the design of control system but imitates
human determination using imprecise control law. In this thesis, a computer
program --running on a microcomputer-- is developed in order to study fuzzy
control. This program serves as a control system, which is capable of being PID
controllers or a fuzzy controller, for small processes. User can enter control
law for a fuzzy controller in form of the predefined if-then form. Using this
control system, the control of a laboratory scale heat-exchanger plant has been
implemented. The resulted time responses of fuzzy control are better than those
of PID control.

KEYWORDS : HYDRO-THERMAL SCHEDULING % EXPORT POWER %
ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents a method for solving the short-term hydro-thermal
scheduling with export power considerations. The generation scheduling is
formulated as a mathematical optimization problem, having power export profit
as an objective function and constraints comprising contracted interchange,
hydro and thermal generation, system load and power balance. A
decomposition-coordination technique is employed to solve the problem which is
decomposed into 3 classes of local subproblems,i.e. optimum scheduling of power
export, optimum scheduling of hydro power plants and optimum scheduling of
thermal power plants. The linear programming,dynamic programming,and unit
commitment are employed in solving the optimum scheduling of power export,
optimum scheduling of hydro power plants and optimum sheduling of thermal power
plants, respectively. All the local subproblems are coordinated among
themselves by lagrangian multiplier,which is a dual variable associated with
the corresponding constraints. In this thesis a computer program has been
developed on a 32 bit microcomputer using microsoft-FORTRAN programming
language and tested by a sample power system,taking into account the
correlation of power export and power generation. The system is modified from
the actual data of thermal and hydro generating units of Electricity Generating
Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and Electricite Du Laos (EDL). The result shows
that the proposed method provides the optimum proportion among exported power,
hydro and thermal generated power, i.e. in the period of high exported energy
price, the amount of exported power and the hydro generated power are high
whereas the amount of the thermal generated power has to be decreased. However,
in the period of low exported energy price, the amount of exported power and
the amount of hydro generated power are low, while the amount of thermal
generated power is increased. With the developed method, the maximum profit of
the system can be obtained.

ABSTRACT :
The objective of This research is to study the Thai printed characters
recognition using a neural network and the syntactic method. The recognition
system consists of 3 modules, a preprocessing model, a feature/primitive
extraction system and a neural network. In the preprocessing process, an input
character pattern is improved by noise reduction procedure and skeletonized. In
the feature/primitive extraction process, the character is decomposed into
primitives consisting of line-primitives and circle-primitives. Then, the
recognition system is trained by a neural network. After the training is
completed, the neural network will distinguish the input character from the set
of primitive different types of input character patterns. The result indicates
a high (98.93 - 99.57 percent) character patterns recognition rate. A total of
1392 character data samples, including regular font style, bold font style and
italic font style, were partitioned into a training set (690 samples) and a
testing set (702 samples). The recognition rate of regular font style is 99.57
percent. The recognition rate of italic font style is 98.93 percent. The
recognition rate of bold font style is 99.36 percent. Consequently, the total
average recognition rate and the average time, operated by the 486DX2-66
computer, are 99.28 percent and 0.055 second/character respectively.

KEYWORDS : EMITTER LOCATION % BEARING ANGLE % EXTENDED KALMAN FILTER
ABSTRACT :
The location of an emitter source can be determined from bearing angle
measurements of the known location of passive observers. The emitter position
can be obtained from the measured bearing angles by using the triangulation
method. Since the measured bearing angles are noisy, the lines of bearing will
not intersect at the same point. If there are three lines of bearing, the error
triangle is formed. That is, the location estimation method is required to
achieve the optimal emitter position within the vicinity of the error area. In
this thesis, the Extended Kalman Filter is proposed to estimate the emitter
position in the case of multiple stationary observers. Numerical simulations
are performed to compare the accuracy of the proposed method with various
conventional methods. The simulations indicate that the performance of Extended
Kalman Filter gives the most accurate results.

ABSTRACT :
The objective of this thesis is to develope a program that simulates
interface system between user and network system by using two microcomputers
connected in ISDN protocol and an ISDN-toX.25 protocol conversion program run
on a simulated network microcomputer. During user-network interface procedure,
the program shows each frame that is sent through serial port. From 40
connections test, with different sending procedures and/or the number of USER
INFORMATION messages v we can conclude that successful connection is 100
percent in condition that successful frame transmission is 98.2 percent. In
addition the ISDN-to-X.25 protocol conversion program can detect mandatory
basic fields in each ISDN frame (only frames that related to X.25 frames) and
map or change them to l appropriate fields in CCITT X.25 protocol.

ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents various classes that are obtained from an
object-oriented analysis for designing an electronic circuit simulation program
on the Microsoft Windows. This program has a graphical user interface that
receives an input from a user in a form of a schematic diagram. The program is
also able to perform 3 types of simulation; i.e. DC, Transient and AC, by using
the same algorithms that were used in circuit simulation program "LEK 6.0". The
designed classes are modified to work with a special class library, called MFC
(Microsoft Foundation Class Library), for writing a prototype circuit
simulation program that can add; a new electronic component into the program by
deriving a component class from the designed! classes and defining specified
data and methods of the derived class without any effect to the classes that
control the program.

KEYWORDS : LEK % PIECEWISE LINEAR % TRANSIENT SIMULATION
ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents new algorithms for the transient analysis of
piecewise linear circuits. This algorithm uses the fact that the matrix in the
linear equation solving program can only have a finite number of different
values. Hence, by adding a memory management technique to store the LU factors
of these matrices for future reuse, the linear equation solving can be
performed much faster than that of a general-purpose algorithm in which these
LU factors have to be recomputed every time. Since most of the CPU analysis
time is spent in solving linear equations, the new algorithm can actually speed
up the transient analysis of piecewise linear circuits significantly (100-600
percent). Two algorithms will be shown. The first is a Matrix Cache algorithm
which stores LU factors for future reuse. The second is a Partial LU factor
algorithm which enables the Matrix Cache algorithm to reduce memory storage for
handling large circuits.

ABSTRACT :
This thesis presents development of an automated visual inspection
system for defect detection of printed label on bottles by using a personal
computer (PC). The system is composed of a CCD camera, a frame grabber card, a
video monitor, a light source, a digital input/output card and a PC Two
inspection algorithms are developed The first algorithm is based on the
object's image pixel counting that can also be used for general purpose
inspection. The second algorithm is specially developed for detecting the
defect of printed label on bottles. It is based on the pixel-by-pixel image
comparison between the defect-free reference label image and the inspected
label image. The Model-Fitting technique is also utilized for exactly
registering of both images before comparison The prototype system and developed
algorithms are tested on 100 printed labels From the results, it can be
conclude that the first algorithm has a short inspection time, of only 0.82
second per label, while the second algorithm needs much more inspection time
but has a very high inspection accuracy.

ABSTRACT :
This research proposes the application of Hopfield net, a type of
neural network, in communication networks routing. The routing constraints are
minimum number of links between any pair of nodes, minimum delay time in the
route and minimum congestion state of the nodes in the route which is chosen to
be the path of the route. A new method of initialization, which is adaptive
with the state of communication networks traffic, is proposed. It can also be
applied to the dynamic routing problem. The effect of constant parameters in
the equation of motion of neural network and the effect of the constant
parameter in the transfer function of neuron, to the speed and characteristics
of the energy variation are tested and analyzed. Computer simulation shows that
this application gives a more accurate solution than the conventional method
solution, which was presented by Lee and Chang in 1993 and also helps alleviate
the suboptimum problem.

ABSTRACT :
The objective of this study is to design and implement an ISDN
Interface unit for personal computers via the RS232 port (TE), as a model for
future development. Testing by an Assembly language for microcontroller 8051,
the ISDN interface unit for personal computer via the RS232 port can
communicate with LT-S, which is a simulator of ISDN network at S reference
point, in Layer 1, 2 and 3 of OSI model according to ITU-Recommendation
I.430-431, Q.920-921 and Q.930-931 respectively. Interfacing between ISDN
network and Terminal Equipment can be established by activation request either
from LT-S or from the TE. After the system was activated, the ISDN Interface
unit for personal computer via the RS232 communicates with LT-S in order to
request terminal equipment number (TEI), to establish communication link, send
data and release communication link on D channel. In addition, the ISDN
Interface unit for personal computers via the RS232 port can also establish
communication link, send data and release communication link on B channel. By
Testing, an error occurs in sending data in D and B channel process. If TE
sends a data frame which have lengths of 28 to 32 bytes, the percentage of
accuracy is in the range of 80 to 95 percent.

ABSTRACT :
This thesis describes the development of a Thai text-to-speech reader
capable of voice reading of any string of Thai monosyllabic words separated by
blanks. The reading speed can be adjusted in 4 steps without changing the pitch
frequency and the voice quality. The silence duration between syllables can
also be varied by inserting special command codes in the string. This reader
provides a serial port which behaves as a null modem for receiving input
strings from ,any external device such as a personal computer. The hardware of
this text-to-speech reader consists mainly of an 8-bit microcontroller with a
32-Kbyte RAM and a 64-Kbyte ROM, a 3 Mbyte sound ROM, an 8-bit
digital-to-analog converter(DAC), and a speaker. The sound ROM stores the
digitized waveforms of all diphones that were sampled at 16 kHz with 8 bit
resolution and compressed using the lossless adaptive differential pulse code
modulation (LADPCM) technique. The voice reading mechanism of each syllable is
done by the microcontroller, which reads the waveforms of the predetermined
diphones from the sound ROM, concatenates them and sends the concatenated
waveforms to the speaker through the DAC converter. The software of the
microcontroller is divided into several modules for performing different tasks.
The major tasks are 1) analysis of each Thai monosyllable word into 4 parts,
i.e., initial consonant, vowel, tone and final consonant using a novel
rule-based technique. 2) formation of international phonetic alphabets
representing the voice of the analysis word. 3) determination of the diphones
that can be concatenated to produce the voice of a given Thai syllable, based
upon the research work of the Linguistics Research Unit, Chulalongkorn
University. 4) decompression of voice data from the sound ROM.

KEYWORDS : PACKET SWITCH % NONBLOCKING % RESEQUENCING
ABSTRACT :
This dissertation is a study on the packet switch system to be used in
communication networks nowadays, for delivering the packets from the source to
the destination. Even though the congestion of the packet problem still occurs,
which leads to the theory of a general model M/M/C queue for the switch path
application to be adapted for solving congestion problems when the packets at
the head-of-lir.e position have the same destination. To rake these packets
pass through C paths simultaneously, two disciplines for the switching path
apply: The First In First Out (FIFO), and the Random Order of Rervice (ROS);
also the study is done on the resequencing delay at the destination. The
response time of the system is calculated by the proposed method in this study.
It is assumed that C has three switch paths working 50 percent under the
offered load. In the case of the FIFO method with C equal 1, the total delay
(the time spent for sending packets from the source to the destination plus
resequencing delay) is about 2.5 percent longer than the system response time
without resequencing delay. And if C equal 2, 3, the total delay and the system
response time are equal. In the ROS method at C equal 1. the total delay is
about 8.5 percent longer than the system response time; and when C equal 2, 3,
the total delay is about 1.1 percent longer than system response time.

KEYWORDS : THIN FILM LIGHT EMITTING DIODE % AMORPHOIJS SILICON ALLOY %
ABSTRACT :
A novel Thin Film Light Emitting Diode (TFLED) has been developed for
the first time. The TFLED has a basic structure of glass/ITO/ p-i-n layers of
amorphous silicon alloys/AI. The amorphous silicon alloys employed in this work
are wide optical energy gap materials, so-called, hydrogenated amorphous
silicon nitride (a-SiN:H), hydrogenated amorphous carbide (a-SiC:H) and
hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide (a-SiO:H). The TFLED can emit the visible
light having the colors from red, orange, yellow to green and white-blue
depending on the optical energy gap of the i-layer. A detailed study has been
done on the basic properties including structural properties (IR absorption,
ESR), optical properties (absorption coefficient, optical energy gap,
photoluminescence) and electrical properties (conductivity) of the amorphous
films. The TFLED is a carrier-injection type electroluminescent device. The
light output comes from the radiative recombination of holes and electrons
injected from the p- and n-layers, respectively, into the i-layer. The typical
bias voltage is about 5-15 volt, the injection current density is about
100-1000 mA/cm('2), giving the brightness of about 0.11 cd/m('2). The
theoretical and experimental results show that the optimal thickness of the
i-layer is about 500 A. A study has been done on the effect of the material
used in the i-layer on the performances of the TFLED. The result shows that the
TFLED with a-SiC:H as the i-layer gives the highest brightness, while a-SiN:H
gives the brightness better than a-SiO:H. A series of trials has also been done
on the improvement of the brightness of the TFLED. The first attempt is to
improve the radiative recombination efficiency by using a metal substrate
instead of a glass substrate. The metal substrate is good thermal conductive
material so that it can dissipate heat from the TFLED to the ambient with
better efficiency than a glass substrate. The other attempt is to
improve the injection efficiency of holes by using p-type highly-conductive and
wide optical energy gap amorphous silicon oxide (p-uSiO:H) and microcrystalline
silicon oxide (p-uc-SiO:H) instead of conventional p-a-SiC:H. The result shows
that the brightness was improved to the level of 10 cd/m(,2). A series of
experiments has been done on the fabrication of TFLED displays that can emit
light with desired emitting patterns. A new type of dot matrix TFLED display
has also been proposed and fabricated l for the first time. The screen; size
for the demonstration is 8 x 8 cm('2). In tlus thesis a new type of amorphous
photocoupler having the amorphous TFLED as a light source and the amorphous
silicon solar cell as a detector has been developed for the first time. The
advantages of the amorphous TFLED are as follows: 1) low-cost, because the
TFLED is made from low-cost amorphous materials and uses a low temperature CVD
process (190 Degree C), 2) it has the possibility to be produced as a large
area display, 3) it can be deposited on various substrates, such as glass,
metal, plastic, ceramic sheets; therefore various forms of displays can be
realized, etc.
