Abstract

In this paper, the authors present a new method to synthesize an adaptive sliding controller for Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS) based on Synergetic Control Theory (SCT). This system represents a prototype of a helicopter with two degrees of freedom and is widely used in automatic control laboratories. The complexity of the control problem is due to the nonlinear cross-coupling between the main and tail rotors. Uncertainty in system parameters further increases the complexity of the control problem. In Synergetic Control Theory, manifolds are designed for each channel. The control law is found based on sequential manifolds and the Analytical Design of Aggregated Regulators (ADAR) method. The adaptive law when the parameters are uncertain is given based on the analysis of system stability thanks to the Lyapunov function of the first manifold. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by numerical simulation results and comparison with conventional Sliding Mode Control (SMC).

Abstract

The significance of using the variable step Incremental Conductance (INC) technique in Maximum Power Point monitoring (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) systems resides in its capacity to improve the efficiency of energy conversion. This is accomplished through the constant measurement and comparison of incremental changes in current and voltage, precisely monitoring the maximum power point amidst changing environmental conditions. This traditional INC-MPPT approach has two primary disadvantages. Initially, it employs a predetermined scaling factor that necessitates human adjustment. Furthermore, it adjusts the inclination of the PV characteristics curve to modify the step size. This implies that even little changes in PV module voltage will have a substantial impact on the total step size. As a result, it shifts the operating point away from the intended reference maximum power point. The objective of this work is to improve the efficiency of traditional INC by overcoming the constraints associated with step size modifications. This is achieved by using a fuzzy logic (FL) technique to adjust the step size adaptively in response to environmental changes. The presented INC-FL-MPPT successfully achieves MPPT for a PV system under enhanced steady-state and transient-state settings. The results demonstrate the superiority of the suggested approach compared to three distinct MPPT strategies, namely Perturb and Observe (PO), Classical INC, and PO-FL technique.

Abstract

This article presents a machine learning model for predicting energy consumption in the steel industry, which aids in energy management, cost reduction, environmental regulation compliance, informed decision-making for future energy investments, and contributes to sustainability. The dataset used for the prediction model comprises 11 attributes and 35,040 instances. The CatBoost prediction algorithm was employed for energy consumption prediction, and hyperparameter optimization was performed using GridSearchCV with 5-fold cross-validation. The developed model has undergone a comparative analysis based on both Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) metrics, demonstrating its promise for accurate energy consumption prediction on both the training and test sets. The proposed model accurately predicts energy consumption for different load types, achieving impressive results on both the training set (RMSE=0.382, R2=0.999, MAPE=1.139) and the test set (RMSE=1.073, R2=0.998, MAPE=1.142). These findings highlight the potential of CatBoost as a valuable tool for energy management and conservation, enabling organizations to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and promote sustainability.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a novel control strategy within hybrid power systems, leveraging a Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO)-tuned Fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivative (Fuzzy-P.I.D.) controller to enhance the integration of renewable energy sources. By addressing the critical challenge of grid frequency deviations, this approach significantly bolsters the stability and efficiency of power flow, ensuring a more reliable electricity supply. Employing MATLAB simulations, the research underscores the superior performance of the GWO-tuned Fuzzy-P.I.D. controller, which necessitates fewer control interventions and yields lower oscillation frequencies than its conventional P.I.D. and Fuzzy-P.I.D. counterparts. The robustness of this optimized controller is further validated through extensive tests, demonstrating its resilience across a spectrum of parameter adjustments and operational scenarios, including the hypothetical removal of system components. The findings reveal that this advanced control method markedly surpasses traditional solutions in maintaining stable electricity flow and enhancing the system's overall resilience and adaptability to the variable nature of renewable energy. Thus, the GWO-tuned Fuzzy-P.I.D. controller emerges as a significant innovation in hybrid power system management, heralding a new era of optimization and efficiency in renewable energy integration.

Abstract

The presented study concerns with evaluating the dynamic performance of an isotropic sinusoidal brushless motor drive while utilizing different sensorless schemes. Three estimation algorithms are considered: the first depends on extracting the speed and position via comparing two values of motor's voltage in two co-ordinate systems; the second extracts the speed and position signal via comparing two different values of motor's current defined in two co-ordinates; while the third depends on estimating the motor's flux and use it to get the speed and position. The vector control is adopted to manage the drive dynamics. The detailed mathematical derivations for all system components are presented to facilitate the performance analysis. The theoretical base of each sensorless scheme is also described in detail. The target of the provided comparative analysis is to outline the weakness and strength points of each adopted sensorless schemes while estimating the speed and rotor position for a wide operating speed range. The judgment is measured in terms of the speed and rotor position estimation errors and the dynamic response as well. The performance evaluation process is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software in which all system parts are simulated using their mathematical models. The findings from the study state that when it comes to dynamic speed behaviour, the voltage-based sensorless technique dominates, while the current-based sensorless approach gives stability in speed estimate priority. Alternatively, the third adopted sensorless scheme offers an acceptable high-speed performance and respectable performance at lower speeds. Statistically, it is found that the voltage-based estimation technique gives respectively lower speed and position estimation errors with percentages of 35% and 10% lower than their values under the current-based estimation technique, and with percentages of 35% and 30% lower than their values under the third adopted scheme.

Abstract

The oil industry plays a crucial role in Iraq's economy. There's a growing need for technologies that can quickly detect leaks in oil pipelines because leaks can have serious ramifications, including monetary losses, endangerment to public safety, environmental degradation, and resource waste. Advances in technology and software have made it possible to detect leaks. Current approaches often require manual extraction of features, which can be slow and inefficient. This paper presents a new method that proposes using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic feature extraction. The Iraqi Ministry of Oil, specifically the Basra Oil Company, provided the dataset, such as total distance (km), pressure (bar), and flow rate (STB/d). We split the data into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets. then we calculate metrics such as confusion matrices, accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score to evaluate performance and calculate errors from the regression analysis (root mean square error, root mean absolute error, and relative error). Our contribution to this work is to use 1DCNN to identify leaks, pinpoint their location, and even predict the amount of spilled oil, unlike other research that only uses it to evaluate the presence or absence of a leak only. Additionally, we've created a user-friendly interface for the system. Finally, compare the proposed approach with conventional and alternative methods to show its efficiency. In the future, we plan to expand the system to assess pipeline corrosion and predict its remaining lifespan.

Abstract

This research attempts to combine Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control and Kalman filter as a noise filter for encoder sensor readings and reference tracking accelerator of JGA25-370 DC motor. Through experiments, the applied PID controller demonstrated its ability to maintain the stability of DC motor rotation under different load conditions. The control signal generated by the motor driver had different voltage outputs: 7.8V for PWM 125, 8.4V for PWM 150, 8.8V for PWM 175, 9.1V for PWM 200, 9.4V for PWM 225, and 9.6V for PWM 250, with an encoder constant multiplier of 1.71. In particular, the Kalman filter, whose parameter values of R = 0.1 and Q = 0.01, effectively reduced the noise of the JGA25-370 DC motor encoder sensor readings. When operating independently, the PID controller successfully optimized the motor control using Kp = 1, Ki = 0.5, and Kd = 0.01. However, superior results were achieved by integrating the Kalman filter (R = 0.1, Q = 0.01) with the PID controller (Kp = 1, Ki = 0.4, Kd = 0.1), with successful reference tracking within a rise time value of 1.037 seconds, a completion time of 2.093 seconds, and a surpassing of 1.073%. These findings formed an efficient methodology for reducing encoder sensor reading results and speeding up the DC motor in achieving reference values using a combined PID-Kalman approach.

Abstract

The Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) system integrates electrical and hydraulic elements, enabling it to generate a rapid reaction, a high power-to-weight ratio, and significant stiffness. Nevertheless, EHA systems demonstrate non-linear characteristics and modeling uncertainties, such as friction and parametric uncertainty. Designing a controller for accurate trajectory tracking is greatly challenging due to these limitations. This paper introduces a hybrid robust fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (HFPID) and (HF+PID) controller. The controller is designed to effectively control a third-order model of an EHA system for trajectory tracking. It is a significant contribution to the development of an intelligent robust controller that can perform well in different environments. Initially, a mathematical model for the EHA system was created using a first-principle approach. Subsequently, the Ziegler-Nichols method was employed to fine-tune the PID controller, while a conventional Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) was constructed in MATLAB Simulink utilizing linguistic variables and rule-based control. Without further tuning, the FL and PID controller are combined as a hybrid controller with different structures: Hybrid Fuzzy-PID (HFPID) and Hybrid Fuzzy+PID (HF+PID) controller. The Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are utilized as indices to assess the tracking accuracy and robustness of the four controllers. A greater value of MSE and RMSE indicates poorer performance of the controller. The results demonstrate that the HF+PID controller surpasses the other controllers by reaching the lowest MSE and RMSE values. It showcases the efficacy and accuracy in monitoring sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, and point-to-point trajectory tracking.  Future work should focus on implementing the designed controller on hardware for real-time performance and experimenting with various types of FLC or Hybrid controllers, such as self-tuning fuzzy-PID, to further explore their potential.

Abstract

Chatbot technology, a rapidly growing field, uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) methodologies to create conversational AI bots. Contextual understanding is essential for chatbots to provide meaningful interactions. Still, to date chatbots often struggle to accurately interpret user input due to the complexity of natural language and diverse fields, hence the need for a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to investigate the motivation behind the creation of chatbots, their development procedures and methods, notable achievements, challenges and emerging trends. Through the application of the PRISMA method, this paper contributes to revealing the rapid and dynamic progress in chatbot technology with NLP learning models, enabling sophisticated and human-like interactions on the trends observed in chatbots over the past decade. The results, from various fields such as healthcare, organization and business, virtual personalities, to education, do not rule out the possibility of being developed in other fields such as chatbots for cultural preservation while suggesting the need for supervision in the aspects of language comprehension bias and ethics of chatbot users. In the end, the insights gained from SLR have the potential to contribute significantly to the advancement of chatbots on NLP as a comprehensive field.
