The power system using FACTS devices is presented under different conditions such as single phase fault and three phase fault. A digital simulation using Matlab/Simulink software package is carried out to demonstrate the better performance including the voltage and the current of the presented system using FACTS that located between buses B1 and B2 under different faults types. The results obtained investigate that the presented system gives better response with FACTS as compared to not using them under abnormal conditions besides, the UPFC gives better performance of power system under several faults as compared to STATCOM or SSSC as It can absorb reactive power in a manner which significantly reduced the fault current. It is demonstrated that UPFC can reduce the peak fault current at bus B1 ‎to 63.85% of its value without ‎using FACTS devices under line to ground fault and 79.18% under three line to ‎ground fault whereas STATCOM and SSSC reduce it ‎to (75.21, 94.35%) and (75.40, 94.68%), respectively.

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), specifically a quadcopter is publicly popular which it provides services in different applications such as aerial delivery, aerial photography, military, weather forecasting and more examples to date. A Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is one of the control techniques that can provide stabilization and reliable trajectory tracking. However, proper PID gains are needed to ensure a stable flight and it should be hybridized or improved to increase the robustness, reliability, and stabilization during flight. In this paper, an intelligent PID controller using neural network is proposed based on Levenberg-Marquardt feedforward neural network training method. The PID gains are initialized using different ranges according to the optimal gains generated by Particle Swarm Optimization, and this contributes towards a good training performance using Mean Square Error (MSE) evaluation. The trained network takes desired output and references as input data to calculate the required combination of PID gains as the output. The including of the response characteristics as the input data for the network, together with reference, error, and control input is the significance of the work. The performance of this work is presented using MSE performances, attitudes and altitude stabilization, and trajectory tracking reliability through error index performances. The simulation results graphically prove that the proposed controller provides better stability with reduced overshoot and settling times. Disturbance rejection is also enhanced by 1.7% compared to manual tuned PID controller. The reliability of the proposed controller highlights avenues for further exploration in AI-driven control strategies for quadcopter systems.

Abstract

This paper presents a trajectory control system design for a quadcopter, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is based on estimated parameters that are assumed to exhibit random walk behavior. Initially, the rotational dynamic model of the UAV is formulated using the Newton Euler method in terms of angular velocity about the x, y, and z axes. This model is then simplified into three separated-first-order linear differential equations, with coefficients derived from the combined effects of inertia, aerodynamic drag, and gyroscopic effects, referred to as lumped parameters. A Proportional-Integral (PI) controller with feed-forward design is then developed to control this simplified model. To adapt the controller to the lumped parameters that exhibit random walk behavior, each simplified equation is restructured into a processing and measurement model. The states of these models are estimated by using the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). These estimated values are then utilized to adjust the PI gains and compensate the signal of the designed angular velocity controller, transforming it into an adaptive controller. The entire UAV controller comprises two main parts, an inner loop for adaptive angular rate control and an outer loop serving as an attitude-thrust controller. The proposed controller is simulated using Simulink, with circular and square trajectories. The simulation results demonstrate that the quadcopter successfully follows the desired circular and square paths. The steady-state error for the x and y axes in the square trajectory is less than 0.05 meters within 5 seconds, and for the z axis, it is less than 0.02 meters within 2.5 seconds. The controller gains do not require adjustment when changing trajectories. Moreover, the estimated parameters remain nearly constant at steady state.

Abstract

Developments in drone technology have made them crucial in various fields. Vibrations caused by external conditions or mechanical failures in a drone's design can significantly affect the efficiency of the drone's communication systems. The drone's antenna generates phase noise, which can degrade the performance of drone communications systems. This work presents an analysis and computational model of how drone vibration affects system performance. by using two steps. The first one uses the simulation Monte-Carlo in MATLAB when the iteration algorithm processes with various variable values as the frequency carriers and the order of the quadrature-amplitude-modulation (M-QAM) system and evaluates the performance of the communication system by measuring the symbol error rate. The second step uses the one-dimensional convolutional neural network to predict the symbol error rate. After creating the dataset in the first stage, reprocess it and split it into 70% training and 30% testing. Then, by MATLAB App Designer created a graphical user interface (GUI) for friendly use. The result appears to be that the performance of the drone communication system decreased when frequency carriers and modulation order for M-QAM increased due to the impact of a vibrating antenna. Our contribution to this work is using 1DCNN, unlike other works that only use simulation to evaluate the performance, because 1DCNN can automatically extract useful features from the input dataset to evaluate the effect. This study provides a valuable method to evaluate the efficiency of a communication system on the UAV, which is particularly important for drone wireless system planning. In our next work, we propose investigating other factors affecting UAV communication systems, including humidity and temperature.

Abstract

The negative impacts of microgrids (µGs) on the load frequency highlight the importance of implementing a robust, efficient, and adaptable controller to ensure stability. This work introduces an adaptive load frequency control (LFC) for an isolated µG that includes a PV system and electric vehicles (EVs), which have a significant impact on frequency. This control utilizes a combination of sine cosine optimization (SCO) and balloon effect identifier (BEI) algorithms. The controller presented in this work transforms the LFC process into an optimization problem that is highly compatible with various random situations encountered in the control process. The suggested control method is a novel approach by utilizing SCO+BEI for adaptive LFC application, resulting in a highly efficient response. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controller is assessed under the conditions of 17 MW variable load, system parameters uncertainties, and installed PV systems of 6 MW.  MATLAB / Simulink package is rummage-sale as a digital test environment. According to simulation results, the proposed adaptive controller succeeds in regulating the frequency and power of an islanded µG. To measure the efficiency of the proposed control scheme, a comparison between other control techniques (such as adaptive controller using Jaya+BEI and classical integral controller) is done. The findings of the studied scenarios assured that the not compulsory control method using (SCO+BEI) has an obvious superiority over other control methods in terms of frequency solidity in case of random load instabilities and parameter uncertainties. Finally, it can be said that the proposed controller can better ensure the safe operation of the µGs.

Abstract

In response to the challenge that traditional visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems, based on the assumption of a static environment, struggle to achieve real-time indoor 3D reconstruction in complex dynamic scenes, this paper proposes a real-time indoor 3D reconstruction algorithm based on semantic visual SLAM. By leveraging object detection to obtain 2D semantic information and providing prior information for geometric methods, the fusion of the two effectively suppresses dynamic features, reduces reliance on deep learning methods, and ensures the algorithm's real-time performance. Experimental results on dynamic scenes in the TUM RGB-D dataset show that our algorithm maintains nearly unchanged real-time performance while achieving an average performance improvement of approximately 97.56% and 97.31% on the TUM dataset and Bonn dataset, respectively, compared to the ORB-SLAM2 system. Moreover, our algorithm can reconstruct more intuitive indoor global Octo-map and semantic metric maps compared to sparse point cloud maps, effectively enhancing the scene perception capability of mobile robots and laying the foundation for performing advanced tasks. Furthermore, our algorithm demonstrates a 3.5-10.5 times improvement in real-time performance compared to other mainstream semantic SLAM systems. Experimental results on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier confirm that our algorithm can run in real time on low-power platforms such as mobile robots or drones. However, the drawbacks of our algorithm include lower reconstruction accuracy in low-texture and large-scale scenes and ineffective suppression of dynamic features in low-dynamic scenes. Future work will consider replacing and improving deep learning methods and integrating IMU and other sensors to enhance system usability.

Abstract

Uncertain grid impedance is often common in power distribution networks; therefore, it is crucial to design an efficient controller in this situation.  An issue that frequently occurs is the problem of unpredictable grid impedance, which can cause voltage fluctuations, power quality problems, and potential damage to equipment. This work provides a systematic control strategy to tackle these issues by supplying well-regulated power from a DC source to an AC power grid. A linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based robust optimal control is proposed in this paper to provide stability to the inverter system without offset error at the output side. The convergence time to steady state is minimized by solving the LMI problem to maximize the eigen value of the closed-loop system with the inclusion of the uncertainty of the filter parameter and grid impedance. Furthermore, the uncertainties in this study include the potential variation of values for the filters and the grid's impedance. These uncertainties occur because the grid impedance can fluctuate fast in the event of a fault or termination of a transmission line, while the filter's impedance can also be affected by changes in operating temperature. The simulation study of this proposed control includes a comparison between wide and narrow uncertainty ranges, as well as a performance comparison under uncertain parameters. Furthermore, this approach exhibits a lower power ripple in comparison to existing PI control method.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to devise an effective control system for addressing the trajectory tracking challenge in nonholonomic mobile robots. Two primary control approaches, namely kinematic and dynamic strategies, are explored to achieve this goal. In the kinematic control domain, a backstepping controller (BSC) is introduced as the core element of the control system. The BSC is utilized to guide the mobile robot along the desired trajectory, leveraging the robot’s kinematic model. To address the limitations of the kinematic control approach, a dynamic control strategy is proposed, incorporating the dynamic parameters of the robot. This dynamic control ensures real-time control of the mobile robot. To ensure the stability of the control system, the Lyapunov stability theory is employed, providing a rigorous framework for analyzing and proving stability. Additionally, to optimize the performance of the control system, a genetic algorithm is employed to design an optimal control law. The effectiveness of the developed control approach is demonstrated through simulation results. These results showcase the enhanced performance and efficiency achieved by the proposed control strategies. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive and robust approach for trajectory tracking in nonholonomic mobile robots, combining kinematic and dynamic control strategies while ensuring stability and performance optimization.

Abstract

This study introduces the Sea Horse Optimizer (SHO), a novel optimization algorithm designed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) in two-area power systems including photovoltaic and thermal units. Inspired by the interactive behaviors of seahorses, this population-based metaheuristic algorithm leverages strategies like Brownian motion and Levy flights to efficiently search for optimal solutions, demonstrating quicker and more stable identification of global and local optima than traditional algorithms. The proposed SHO algorithm was tested in a two-region power system containing a photovoltaic system and a reheat thermal unit under three different scenarios. In the first scenario, the frequency response of the algorithm to a 0.1 p.u. load change in both regions was examined. In the second scenario, the algorithm's frequency response to sudden load changes from 0.1 p.u. to 0.4 p.u. was tested. Finally, the algorithm's frequency response was examined against different levels of solar irradiance for sensitivity analysis. This study compared the performance of the SHO-optimized controller with the optimization algorithms reported in the literature, including the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Firefly Algorithm (FA), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm (MWOA).  In this context, the optimization of PI controller gain parameters based on the ITAE metric resulted in SHO algorithm achieving the best performance with values of 2.5308, followed by WOA at 4.1211, FA at 7.4259, and GA at 12.1244. In tests, SHO significantly outperformed these algorithms in key performance metrics, such as Settling Time, Overshoot (M+), and Undershoot (M-). Specifically, SHO achieved 98.94% better overshoot and 85.25% reduced undershoot than GA, and concluded settling times 52.79% faster than GA in the first scenario. Similar superior outcomes were noted in subsequent tests. These results underline SHO's efficacy in enhancing system stability and control performance, marking it as a significant advancement over conventional LFC methods.

Abstract

Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles are utilized in basically every sector of society, including the business, civil, and military industries. Popular applications include delivery, agriculture, target-acquisition, surveying, surveillance, and rescue. They are widely used due to their exceptional features such as accuracy, capability to perform swift inspections, simplicity in deploying perilous and uncertain missions, and additional praiseworthy attributes. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical frameworks that have been proposed for the purpose of quadrotor modelling and control. Detailed examinations are conducted on every methodology that underpins the control algorithms, spanning from traditional linear to modern. The analysis looks at hybrid control technique models, which incorporate adaptive components across multiple controllers to improve overall performance and resilience by addressing individual algorithm shortcomings. This analysis also delves deeper into potential future research avenues. These include the development of learning-based or hybrid methodologies that employ machine learning and artificial intelligence to optimize performance and adaptability. For instance, model reference adaptive control systems can learn adaptation laws through machine learning techniques, as opposed to depending on predefined adaptation laws. By training neural networks or fuzzy logic controllers to forecast optimal adaptation parameters based on sensor data, the quadrotor can adjust to fluctuating conditions more effectively. A comparison table is provided to elaborate on the advantages, disadvantages, and hybrid versions of each control algorithm. This will serve as a concise guide that will promote innovation, facilitate the selection and integration of appropriate control algorithms, and enhance the functionality of quadrotor control systems.
