Abstract

As the photovoltaic (PV) systems expands globally, robust defect detection and precise localization technologies becomes crucial to ensure their operational efficiency. This review introduces an integrated deep learning framework that leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithms to enhance defect detection in solar panels. By integrating these technologies with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS, the framework achieves unprecedented accuracy in defect localization, facilitating efficient maintenance and monitoring of expansive solar farms. Specifically, CNNs are employed for their superior feature detection capabilities in identifying defects such as microcracks and delamination. RNNs enhance the framework by analyzing time-series data from panel sensors, predicting potential failure points before they manifest. YOLO algorithms are utilized for their real-time detection capabilities, allowing for immediate identification and categorization of defects during routine inspections. This review's novel contribution lies in its use of an integrated approach that combines these advanced technologies to not only detect but also accurately localize defects, significantly impacting the maintenance strategies for PV systems. The findings demonstrate an improvement in detection speed and localization accuracy, suggesting a promising direction for future research in solar panel diagnostics. The review provided aims to refine surveillance systems and improve the maintenance protocols for photovoltaic installations, ensuring longevity, durability and efficiency in energy production.

Abstract

Scholars worldwide have shown considerable interest in the industrial sector, mainly due to its abundant resources, which have facilitated the adoption of conveyor belt technologies like Robotic Arm-Based Conveyor Belts (RACBs). RACBs rely on four primary movements: (i.e., joint, motor, gear, and sensor), which can have a significant impact on the overall motions and motion estimation. To optimize these operations, an assistive algorithm has been developed to enhance the effectiveness of motion by achieving favorable gains. However, each motion requires specific criteria for Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller gains, leading to various challenges. These challenges include the existence of multiple evaluation and selection criteria, the significance of these criteria for each motion, the trade-off between criterion performance for each motion, and determining critical values for the criteria. As a result, the evaluation and selection of the Proposed Jaya optimization algorithm for RACB motion control becomes a complex problem. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel integrated approach for selecting the Jaya optimization algorithm in different RACB motions. The approach incorporates two evaluation methods: the Nonlinear Autoregressive Moving Average with exogenous inputs (NARMA-L2) controller for Neural Network (NN) weighting of the criteria, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for selecting the Jaya optimization algorithm. The approach consists of three main phases: RACB-based NARMA-L2 Controller Identification and Pre-processing, Development of NARMA-L2 controller-based NARMA(L2)-FO(ANFIS)PD-I, and Evaluation of FOPID criteria based on JOA. The proposed approach is evaluated based on NARMA(L2)-FO(ANFIS)PD-I that given 0.4074, 0.3156, 0.3724, 0.1898 and 0.2135 for K_p_joint, K_i_motor, K_d_sensor, λ_gear, and µ_N respectively, which verifies the soundness of the proposed methodology.

Abstract

Effective parameter estimation for photovoltaic (PV) systems holds significant importance for both researchers and industry professionals. An accurate understanding of PV models, achieved through modeling and simulation, plays a pivotal role in optimizing the design, control, testing, and forecasting of PV system performance. Developing a precise and robust parameter identification method significantly contributes to enhancing the modeling, control, and optimization of photovoltaic systems. In this context, our research contribution introduces a novel version of Rao metaheuristic algorithm named the Fully Informed Search Algorithm (FISA).

For which, we used it to efficiently identifying the parameters of the single-diode model (SDM). Thus, we demonstrate its effectiveness through the application in two distinct case studies within our simulation research. in the end, we compared the results of FISA algorithm to seven other well-known algorithms, the obtained results indicate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in term of the stability of the system, a faster convergence and higher accuracy.

Abstract

In the rapidly developing field of smart cities, accurately predicting weather conditions plays a vital role in various sectors, including industry, tourism, agriculture, social planning, architecture, and economic development. Unfortunately, the instruments used (such as pyranometers, barometers, and thermometers) often suffer from low accuracy, high computational costs, and a lack of robustness. This limitation affects the reliability of weather predictions and their application across these critical areas. This study proposes artificial neural network-multilayer perceptrons (ANN-MLPs). A dataset of 480 data points was used, with 80% allocated for the training phase, 10% for the validation phase, and 10% for the testing phase. The best results were obtained with the structure 6-17-1 (6 inputs, 17 hidden neurons, and 1 output neuron) to predict weather condition data in the Ghardaïa district. Weather conditions parameters include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and cumulative precipitation. Results showed that the most relevant input factors are, in order of importance: earth-sun distance (DT-S) with a relative importance (RI) of 31.10%, factor conversion (d) with an RI of 26.05%, and solar radiation (SR) with an RI of 16.26%. The contribution of the elevation of the sun (HI) has an RI of 13.29%. The optimal configuration includes seventeen neurons in the hidden layer with a logistic sigmoid activation function and a Levenberg–Marquardt learning algorithm, resulting in a root mean square error (RMSE) of 3.3043% and a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9683. The proposed model can predict both short- and long-term climate factors such as solar radiation, air temperature, and wind energy in areas with similar conditions.

Abstract

This study introduces a novel fuzzy logic algorithm tailored to the thermoneutral zone of poultry, offering a precise and adaptive approach to feed dispensation. This involved the utilization of an LCD module to present essential information such as the selected age, real-time ambient temperature, current time, and the dispensed feed quantity. Data gathered during the process were stored in a memory device. The design of the fuzzy logic algorithm centered on the thermoneutral zone of the chicken serves as the determinant for feed dispensed by the system. It's crucial to note that while the system lacked artificial intelligence (AI), its logical analysis operated based on the fuzzy logic algorithm. Rigorous testing ensued, encompassing the comparison of feed dispensation between automated and manual systems and the assessment of feed waste and broiler weight.  Significant feed waste reduction in the first week demonstrated the efficacy of the fuzzy-based method, with consistently low p-values of 0.00069, 0.015195, and 0.034 across subsequent weeks confirming the consistent outperformance in broiler weight compared to the traditional feeding technique. The findings contribute to the advancement of temperature-based poultry feed systems, addressing key challenges in optimizing feed quantity. The study successfully met its objectives, demonstrating the system's capability to dispense feeds effectively across varying ambient temperatures.  Notably, the study revealed a consistent alignment of system outputs with those obtained from a digital thermometer and digital weighing scale, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the temperature-based feed dispensing system.

Abstract

Anemia is a prevalent global health issue that is characterized by a deficit in red blood cells or low levels of hemoglobin. This condition is influenced by various causes, including nutritional inadequacies, chronic diseases, and genetic predisposition. The incidence of the phenomenon exhibits variation across different geographical regions and demographic groups. This pioneering research investigates the identification and classification of anemia, potentially leading to transformative advancements in the discipline. The classification of anemia encompasses four distinct groups, namely Beta Thalassemia Trait, Iron Deficiency Anemia, Hemoglobin E, and Combination. This comprehensive categorization offers clinicians a more refined and detailed comprehension of the condition. The integration of deep learning and machine learning in the Multilayer Extremely Randomized Tree Learning Machine (MERTLM) model represents a departure from traditional approaches and a significant advancement in the field of medical categorization accuracy. The MERTLM approach integrates randomized tree with multilayer extreme learning machine (M-ELM) representation learning, hence emphasizing the possibility of interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of diagnostics. In addition to its impact on anemia, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a significant role in revolutionizing medical diagnosis by emphasizing the integration of innovative methods. This study utilizes the combined capabilities of machine learning and deep learning to improve accuracy. Notably, recent developments have resulted in an exceptional accuracy rate of 99.67%, precision of 99.60%, sensitivity of 99.47%, and an amazing F1-Score of 99.53%. This study represents a significant advancement in the field of anemia research, providing valuable insights that may be applied to intricate medical issues and enhancing the quality of patient care.

Abstract

In engineering, especially for robots, navigation, and biomedical uses, accurate angle estimation is absolutely crucial. Using data from the IMU6050 sensor, which combines accelerometer and gyroscope readings, this work contrasts two sensor fusion methods: the Kalman filter and the complementary filter. The aim of the research is to find the most efficient filtering method for preserving accuracy and resilience throughout several motion contexts, including low-noise (standard rotation) and high-noise (external disturbances). With an eye toward improving sensor accuracy in dynamic applications, the study contribution is a thorough investigation of filter performance under different noise levels. MATLAB quantified estimate accuracy using key metrics like root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). Under controlled noise levels, our approach included methodical error analysis of both filters. Results show that, especially under low-noise conditions, the Kalman filter beats the complementary filter in terms of lower MAE and RMSE; it also shows adaptability and robustness in high-noise environments with much fewer errors than accelerometer-only and complementary filter outputs. These results show the relevance of the Kalman filter in practical settings like robotic control, motion tracking, and possible biomedical equipment, including patient positioning systems and wheelchairs with balance control. Future studies might investigate the implementation of the Kalman filter in sophisticated systems requiring accuracy, such as telemedicine robots or autonomous navigation. This work develops sensor fusion techniques and offers understanding of consistent sensor data processing in several operating environments.

Abstract

Optimization is essential for improving the performance of control systems, particularly in scenarios that involve complex, non-linear, and dynamic behaviors. This paper introduces a new hybrid optimization framework that merges Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with the Greater Cane Rat Algorithm (GCRA), which we call the PSO-GCRA framework. This hybrid approach takes advantage of PSO's global exploration capabilities and GCRA's local refinement strengths to overcome the shortcomings of each algorithm, such as premature convergence and ineffective local searches. We apply the proposed framework to a real-world load forecasting challenge using data from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). The PSO-GCRA framework functions in two sequential phases: first, PSO conducts a global search to explore the solution space, and then GCRA fine-tunes the solutions through mutation and crossover operations, ensuring convergence to high-quality optima. We evaluate the performance of this framework against benchmark methods, including EMD-SVR-PSO, FS-TSFE-CBSSO, VMD-FFT-IOSVR, and DCP-SVM-WO. Comprehensive experiments are carried out using metrics such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and convergence rate.  The proposed PSO-GCRA framework achieves a MAPE of 2.05% and an RMSE of 3.91, outperforming benchmark methods, such as EMD-SVR-PSO (MAPE: 2.85%, RMSE: 4.49) and FS-TSFE-CBSSO (MAPE: 2.98%, RMSE: 4.69), in terms of accuracy, stability, and convergence efficiency. Comprehensive experiments were conducted using Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) data, with specific attention to normalization, parameter tuning, and iterative evaluations to ensure reliability and reproducibility.

Abstract

This study presents an enhanced reptile search algorithm (ImRSA) optimized tilt-integral-derivative (TID) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in a two-area power system consisting of photovoltaic (PV) and thermal power units. The ImRSA integrates Lévy flight and logarithmic spiral search mechanisms to improve the balance between exploration and exploitation, resulting in more efficient optimization performance. The proposed controller is tested against the original reptile search algorithm (RSA) and other state-of-the-art optimization methods, such as modified grey wolf optimization with cuckoo search, black widow optimization, and gorilla troops optimization. Simulation results show that the ImRSA-optimized TID controller outperforms these approaches in terms of undershoot, overshoot, settling time, and the integral of time-weighted absolute error metric. Additionally, the ImRSA demonstrates robustness in managing frequency deviations caused by solar radiation fluctuations in PV systems. The results highlight the superior efficiency and reliability of the proposed method, especially for renewable energy integration in modern power systems.
