Abstract

In this article, a lower limb exoskeleton (LLE) under contacting constrained motion has been modelled using augmented Lagrange equations which include Lagrange multiplier and Jacobian vectors. A sliding mode Controller optimized by the grey Wolf optimization algorithm has been used for controlling (LLE) in the case of constrained motion with uncertainties and outside perturbation. The grey wolf optimization algorithm has been used as an optimization algorithm for finding the optimal controllers’ parameters in order to improve the performance of the system. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system has been performed using Lyapunov theory of stability. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller structure grey wolf optimization algorithm controller (GW-SMC), a series of comparative simulations have been carried out with other types of recently existing sliding mode control (SMC). The results of numerical simulations indicate the superiority of the sliding mode optimized by the GW-SMC over other types of recently existing controller in terms of tracking errors and robustness towards uncertainties and external disturbances.

Abstract

One of the major challenges facing photovoltaic (PV) systems is fault detection. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the main popular techniques used in error detection due to its ability to extract signal and image features. In this paper, a deep learning approach based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and internet of things (IoT) technology are used to detect and locate shading faults for a PV water pumping system. The current and voltage signals generated by the PV panels as well as temperature and radiation were used to convert them into 3D images and then upload to a deep learning algorithm. The PV system and fault detection algorithms were simulated by MATLAB. The obtained results indicate that the performance of the proposed deep learning approach to detect and locate faults is better than the traditional statistical methods and other machine learning methods.
