Project description:This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized type-2 fuzzy logic controller (T2FLC) with a fractional-order technique for enhanced control of a microgrid system. The T2FLC approach is employed to handle the inherent uncertainties in the microgrid due to fluctuating renewable energy inputs and varying loads. The GA optimizes the parameters of the designed FO-T2FLC approach, ensuring optimal performance under different operational conditions. This developed strategy is a modification and development of the traditional approach, as it is characterized by rapid dynamic response, high durability, distinctive performance, ease of application, and inexpensive. Also, this designed strategy does not depend on the mathematical model of the studied system, which gives satisfactory results if the system parameters change. The microgrid system on the direct current side features a photovoltaic array with battery storage. In contrast, the alternating current section comprises a multi-functional voltage source inverter integrated with a shunt active power filter. This setup delivers energy to the connected loads and the network. To manage the system effectively; traditional power control methods (direct power control and space vector modulation) are used for the alternating current section. Additionally, the proposed regulator control the direct current bus voltage loop, regulate the reactive and active power loops of the network, and compensate for the total harmonic distortion in the source streams. It also injects the required active power into the network to enhance the competence of the power network. In this work, the efficiency of the proposed FO-T2FLC-GA approach is verified using MATLAB, comparing it to the T2FLC-GA approach and some existing strategies such as third-order sliding mode control. The results obtained highlight the effectiveness and strength of the FO-T2FLC-GA approach in improving power quality and reducing the total harmonic distortion value, as it reduces the total harmonic distortion value of the current by percentages estimated at 80%, 33.87%, and 32.50% in all cases. The FO-T2FLC-GA approach also reduces the steady-state error, undershoot, fluctuations, and overshoot of direct current link voltage compared to the T2FLC-GA approach by percentages estimated at 1.54%, 33.04%, 25%, and 33.04%, respectively. Compared with other works, the proposed approach improves the response time, overshoot, and ripples of direct current link voltage by 59.38%, 50%, and 75%, respectively, compared to the third-order sliding mode control approach. These results could make the designed FO-T2FLC-GA approach a prominent solution in the future in other industrial applications such as propulsion and traction.

Project description:Microgrids require efficient energy management systems to optimize the operation of microgrid sources and achieve economic efficiency. Bi-level energy management model is proposed in this paper to minimize the operational cost of a grid-tied microgrid under load variations and uncertainties in renewable sources while satisfying the various technical constraints. The first level is day ahead scheduling of generation units based on day ahead forecasting of renewable energy sources and load demand. In this paper, a recent meta-heuristic algorithm called Coronavirus Herd Immunity Optimizer (CHIO) is used to solve the problem of day-ahead scheduling of batteries, which is a complex constrained non-linear optimization problem, while the Lagrange multiplier method is used to determine the set-point of the Diesel Generator (DG). The second level of the proposed EMS is rescheduling and updating the set-points of sources in real-time according to the actual solar irradiance, wind speed, load, and grid tariff. In this paper, a novel real-time strategy is proposed to keep the economic operation during real-time under uncertainties. The obtained results show that the CHIO-based bi-level EMS demonstrates an optimal economic operation for a grid-connected microgrid in real-time when there are uncertainties in weather, utility tariffs, and load forecasts.

Project description:Tracking the peak power output of solar photovoltaic modules poses a significant challenge in contemporary times, that too under variable climatic conditions. Despite the availability of various Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods, each method carries its own set of limitations. Many of these constraints can be effectively addressed by leveraging a suitable metaheuristic algorithm. In this context, a Particle Swarm Optimization Memetic Algorithm (PSOMA) is proposed as a powerful tool for accelerating convergence towards the maximum power point and enhancing the tracking process. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm incorporates the impact of changes in tilt angle, thereby augmenting its efficacy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits superior tracking capabilities compared to conventional MPPT methods and various other MPPT algorithms. The convergence time is also greatly reduced by the proposed method. An efficiency of 99.91% and a convergence time of 8.5 ms is achieved by this algorithm. The efficiency remains almost constant for different irradiance levels which is demonstrated by simulation results. Additionally, hardware experimentation validates the robustness of the developed algorithm.

Project description:Due to the high-energy efficiency and scalability, the clustering routing algorithm has been widely used in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to gather information more efficiently, each sensor node transmits data to its Cluster Head (CH) to which it belongs, by multi-hop communication. However, the multi-hop communication in the cluster brings the problem of excessive energy consumption of the relay nodes which are closer to the CH. These nodes' energy will be consumed more quickly than the farther nodes, which brings the negative influence on load balance for the whole networks. Therefore, we propose an energy-efficient distributed clustering algorithm based on fuzzy approach with non-uniform distribution (EEDCF). During CHs' election, we take nodes' energies, nodes' degree and neighbor nodes' residual energies into consideration as the input parameters. In addition, we take advantage of Takagi, Sugeno and Kang (TSK) fuzzy model instead of traditional method as our inference system to guarantee the quantitative analysis more reasonable. In our scheme, each sensor node calculates the probability of being as CH with the help of fuzzy inference system in a distributed way. The experimental results indicate EEDCF algorithm is better than some current representative methods in aspects of data transmission, energy consumption and lifetime of networks.

Project description:We present an enhanced version of the FLAMEnGO (Fuzzy Logic Assignment of Methyl Group) software, a structure-based method to assign methyl group resonances in large proteins. FLAMEnGO utilizes a fuzzy logic algorithm coupled with Monte Carlo sampling to obtain a probability-based assignment of the methyl group resonances. As an input, FLAMEnGO requires either the protein X-ray structure or an NMR structural ensemble including data such as methyl-methyl NOESY, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE), methine-methyl TOCSY data. Version 2.0 of this software (FLAMEnGO 2.0) has a user-friendly graphic interface and presents improved modules that enable the input of partial assignments and additional NMR restraints. We tested the performance of FLAMEnGO 2.0 on maltose binding protein (MBP) as well as the C-subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA-C). FLAMEnGO 2.0 can be used as a standalone method or to assist in the completion of partial resonance assignments and can be downloaded at www.chem.umn.edu/groups/veglia/forms/flamengo2-form.html.

Project description:Fuzzy logic is an artificial intelligence technique that has applications in many areas, due to its importance in handling uncertain inputs. Despite the great recent success of other branches of AI, such as deep neural networks, fuzzy logic is still a very powerful machine learning technique, based on expert reasoning, that can be of help in many areas of musical creativity, such as composing music, synthesizing sounds, gestural mappings in electronic instruments, parametric control of sound synthesis, audiovisual content generation or sonification. We propose that fuzzy logic is a very suitable framework for thinking and operating not only with sound and acoustic signals but also with symbolic representations of music. In this article, we discuss the application of fuzzy logic ideas to music, introduce the Fuzzy Logic Control Toolkit, a set of tools to use fuzzy logic inside the MaxMSP real-time sound synthesis environment, and show how some fuzzy logic concepts can be used and incorporated into fields, such as algorithmic composition, sound synthesis and parametric control of computer music. Finally, we discuss the composition of Incerta, an acousmatic multichannel composition as a concrete example of the application of fuzzy concepts to musical creation.

Project description:Given the resource limitations of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy conservation is of utmost importance. Moreover, minimizing data collection delays is crucial to maintaining data freshness. Additionally, it is desirable to increase the number of collected data samples to enhance accuracy and robustness in data collection. For this purpose, this research article proposes a clustering-based routing protocol aimed at maximizing the delivery of data samples while minimizing energy consumption and data collection delays. The protocol employs a scattered search algorithm and fuzzy logic to cluster the sensor nodes. By considering the distance to the sink and the remaining energy level of the battery, the network is dynamically divided into clusters using a lightweight clustering approach. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations were conducted in OPNET using the AFSRP protocol. The results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed method in terms of end-to-end delay by 13.44%, media access delay by 75.2%, throughput rate by 20.55%, energy consumption by 13.52%, signal-to-noise ratio by 43.40% and delivery rate of successfully sending data to the sink is 0.21% higher than the well-known AFSRP method.

Project description:This paper presents a novel approach to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem by utilizing a modified white shark optimization (MWSO) algorithm. The MWSO algorithm incorporates the Gaussian barebones (GB) and quasi-oppositional-based learning (QOBL) strategies to improve the convergence rate and accuracy of the original WSO algorithm. To address the uncertainty associated with renewable energy sources, the IEEE 30 bus system, which consists of 30 buses, 6 thermal generators, and 41 branches, is modified by replacing three thermal generators with two wind generators and one solar PV generator. And the IEEE 57-bus system, which consists of 57 buses, 7 thermal generators, and 80 branches, is also modified by the same concept. The variability of wind and solar generation is described using the Weibull and lognormal distributions, and its impact on the OPF problem is considered by incorporating reserve and penalty costs for overestimation and underestimation of power output. The paper also takes into account the unpredictability of power consumption (load demand) by analyzing its influence using standard probability density functions (PDF). Furthermore, practical conditions related to the thermal generators, such as ramp rate limits are examined. The MWSO algorithm is evaluated and analyzed using 23 standard benchmark functions, and a comparative study is conducted against six well-known techniques using various statistical parameters. The results and statistical analysis demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the MWSO algorithm compared to the original WSO algorithm for addressing the OPF problem in the presence of generation and demand uncertainties.

Project description:Microgrids (MGs) have gained significant attention over the past two decades due to their advantages in service reliability, easy integration of renewable energy sources, high efficiency, and enhanced power quality. In India, low-voltage side customers face significant challenges in terms of power supply continuity and voltage regulation. This paper presents a novel approach for optimal power scheduling in a microgrid, aiming to provide uninterrupted power supply with improved voltage regulation (VR). To address these challenges, a crow search algorithm is developed for effective load scheduling within the distribution system. The proposed method minimizes the total operating cost (TOC) and maximizes VR under varying loading conditions and distributed generation (DG) configurations. A case study in Tamil Nadu, India, is conducted using a microgrid composed of three distributed generation sources (DGs), modeled and simulated using the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) environment. The proposed approach is tested under three operational scenarios: grid-connected mode, islanded mode, and grid-connected mode with one DG outage. Results indicate that the crow search algorithm significantly optimizes load scheduling, leading to a substantial reduction in power loss and enhancement in voltage profiles across all scenarios. The islanded mode operation using the crow search algorithm demonstrates a remarkable reduction in TOC and maximizes voltage regulation compared to other modes. The main contributions of this work include: (1) developing a new meta-heuristic approach for power scheduling in microgrids using the crow search algorithm, (2) achieving optimal power flow and load scheduling to minimize TOC and improve VR, and (3) successfully implementing the proposed methodology in a real-time distribution system using ETAP. The findings showcase the effectiveness of the crow search algorithm in microgrid power management and its potential for application in other real-time power distribution systems.
