Data streams are massive, dynamic and unbounded. Due to these issues data stream clustering is challenging problem. Data stream are observed in network monitoring, critical scientific application, weather monitoring and astronomical applications, electronic business, stock trading etc. Data stream clustering puts additional constraints on clustering algorithms. Data streams must be processed in single pass with limited memory as well as with less processing time, but the streams can be highly dynamic. Most of the existing clustering algorithms are distance based and unable to handle the interwoven clusters and also it is impossible to save the data streams, because of infinite characteristic. Proposed work focuses on density based clustering algorithms using micro-clusters. The process is divided into two-phases, online and offline, micro clusters are created in online phase and final clusters are generated in offline phase.

Cipher text policy attribute-based cryptography (CP-ABE) is also a promising science technique for fine grained access management of outsourced information at intervals the cloud. However, some drawbacks of key management hinder the popularity of its application. One drawback in imperative need of resolution is that the key official document downside. We've got an inclination to point that front-end devices of shoppers likewise phones usually have restricted privacy protection, thus if personal keys square measure entirely management by them, shoppers risk key exposure that is hardly detected but inherently existed in previous analysis. Moreover, monumental client coding overhead limits the wise use of ABE. Throughout this work, we've got an inclination to propose a cooperative key management protocol in CP-ABE (CKM-CP-ABE). Our construction realizes distributed generation, issue and storage of private keys whereas not adding any extra infrastructure. A fine-grained and immediate attribute revocation is provided for key update. The projected cooperative mechanism effectively solves not entirely key official document downside but jointly key exposure. Meanwhile, it helps markedly cut back client coding overhead. A comparison with completely different representative CP-ABE themes demonstrates that our theme has somewhat higher performance in terms of cloud-based outsourced information sharing on mobile devices.

In electric power systems, integration of more Distributed Generators (DGs) in the network increase the short circuit level due to the short circuit current contribution of the DGs during faults. As compared to the synchronous and induction machine based generators, the inverter based generators, such as Photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, contributes lower fault current to the network due to the characteristics of PV panels and inverter operation. Although, each PV solar farm may contribute short currents as above, the total amount of fault current contribution may become unacceptably large for a feeder which has several PV systems connected. It is apprehended that short circuit current contributions from multiple solar systems in the distribution feeders may add up to levels that could be damaging to the circuit breakers. As a first step, adequate modeling of PV solar plants for predicting their short circuit contributions during network faults is essential. So far, the above fast faults detection techniques have been used for protection of network and DGs; and for unsymmetrical fault detection in fault current limiters (FCL). However these techniques have not been used to prevent any short circuit current contribution in excess of the rated or utility-acceptable current output of PV solar inverters. In this paper, a new fast detection module for short-circuit current detection has been discussed based on the rate of rise of current together with the current magnitude in a PV solar system based DG. There can be two control operations, as per the applicable grid code in that region, one of which is the disconnection of the PV inverter before the current exceeds the rated output current of the inverter. The second one discusses about transforming the PV inverter into a dynamic reactive power compensator STATCOM and provides grid support functions. A new concept of utilizing PV solar farms as STATCOM (PV-STATCOM) both during nighttime and daytime for different grid support functions was introduced in this paper.
