An optical sensor is designed to convert a number of light energy in to electrical energy. The sensor hasbeen successfully measured using light illuminance to achieve electric parameters as the sensor output. In this research the optical sensor design was characterized according to the voltage and current output with the stimulus from mercury lamp. The sensor is customized from Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell with photo-electrode and photo-catalysator of Titanium Dioxide and extracted tobacco chlorophyll dye. Spin coating method was conducted to fabricate the thick layer deposition using selected material. Based on the absorbance measurement, it shows that tobacco dye has the characteristics of visible light absorption in the wavelength of 300-000 nm. The result of this research revealed that from 2 variation of optical sensor design square with active area of (2 cm x 2 cm) and (1 cm x 1 cm). Analitycal result shows that the sensor has wide linear characteristic in certain light illuminance both of output current and voltage.
This study dealt with output voltage regulation of boost converter using observer based sliding mode controller comprises of adaptive PI sliding surface. Observer was designed to estimate the inductor current value, such that no sensor was required as a feedback. Adaptive PI sliding surface was constructed from the difference between estimated inductor current and its reference value. The stability of proposed method was ensured by using Lyapunov direct method. To test the system performance, numerical simulation was conducted. The result indicated that the integral absolute error value of proposed method was 0.19, which was 7 times less than sliding mode with PI sliding surface. Consequently, the proposed method was able to estimate accurately the inductor value, track the reference voltage perfectly, and show its robustness against parameter variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
