Abstract

This paper presents a starfish optimization algorithm (SFOA) method for optimizing control parameters in DC microgrids. SFOA is a new metaheuristic inspired by biology to solve optimization problems, which simulates the behavior of starfish, including exploration, preying, and regeneration. SFOA consists of two main phases of exploration and exploitation. This paper evaluates the performance of SFAO on droop control of DC microgrids by comparing with walrus optimizer (WO) and grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA). From the simulation, SFOA shows superior capability. Validation on DC microgrid control using integral of time-weighted absolute error (ITAE) and integral of time-weighted squared error (ITSE). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique exhibits a superior ITAE relative to WO and GOA, which are 6.88% and 8%, respectively. The performance validation results demonstrate that the SFOA approach exhibits potential and effective performance. The proposed method on DC microgrid control has been successfully applied and shows promising performance. The proposed methodology is particularly suitable for renewable energy integration in isolated or resource-constrained regions.

Abstract

The increasing number of motorcycles in developing countries has intensified parking management challenges, particularly in high-density environments with irregular vehicle arrangements. This study proposes a motorcycle parking availability detection system using the YOLOv5 object detection algorithm to address limitations of conventional parking methods. The research contribution is the development of a context-aware detection framework using a locally collected dataset and the evaluation of its performance under real-world parking conditions.The dataset consists of 1,200 images collected from campus parking areas and is divided into training, validation, and testing sets. The images were annotated into occupied and vacant classes and trained using YOLOv5 with 100 epochs. Model performance was evaluated using precision, recall, F1-score, and mean Average Precision (mAP@0.5) on a held-out test set.The results show that the model achieves an F1-score of 0.57 and mAP@0.5 of 0.566, indicating moderate detection performance in dense and occluded environments. Although a precision of 1.00 is obtained at a confidence threshold of 0.978, this condition significantly reduces recall, highlighting a trade-off between detection accuracy and coverage. The confusion matrix and recall–confidence analysis reveal that errors are primarily caused by occlusion, shadow effects, and background interference. Compared to previous studies focusing on car parking detection, this system demonstrates comparable performance while addressing the unique complexity of motorcycle parking. However, the relatively small dataset size and environmental variability limit generalization.In conclusion, the proposed system provides a feasible initial approach for motorcycle parking detection, but further improvements in dataset diversity, annotation quality, and model robustness are required to achieve reliable large-scale deployment.
