The obtained results are so intensive that for the WS and CS sheds, the average daily normalized production (ADNP) in kWh/kWp/Day is more on the south-facing roofs (4.20) followed by west- (4.06), east- (3.96), and north-facing roofs (3.78). The mean average additional energy (MAAE) of about 11.27% and 2.52% can be generated on south- and west-facing roofs compared to the north- and east-facing roofs, respectively. In comparison to the vertical installation (VI), the average specific production (ASP) in kWh/kWp/Annum is more with the horizontal installation (HI) of PV modules on either side of the exposed roofs for WS (1459.25) and less for CS (1454.5). The total maximum energy that can be generated on the roofs of total seven sheds is about 969 566 kWh/Annum, which may reduce about 824.12 ton of CO2 emissions per annum.

The simulator’s modeling intends to replicate the dynamic behavior MG and interactions of the MG’s various components, including generators, photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy storage units, and loads. The simulator is compatible with both reactive and active power set points from the controller, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of the system. The simulation is correlated with direct field testing; this method offers numerous advantages. It provides a safe and cost-effective environment for conducting extensive simulations, thereby avoiding the potential risks and damages associated with conducting experiments in the real world. The flexibility and scalability of the simulator enable researchers to examine a wide variety of operating scenarios, test various control strategies, and assess the impact of system uncertainties. By utilizing the power system simulator’s capabilities, researchers can obtain valuable insights into the behavior of MGs. They are able to evaluate the efficacy of control algorithms in regulating voltage and frequency, managing power flows, and facilitating seamless transitions between grid-connected and isolated modes of operation. In addition, the simulator permits the identification of prospective obstacles and challenges, the evaluation of various control strategies, and the validation of system performance under a variety of operating conditions. The results of simulations run on the power system simulator provide valuable data for optimizing the design and operation of MGs. They contribute to improving the MG systems’ dependability, stability, and resilience.

Such prediction depends on the soil, minerals, and environment, the last of which has been short-changed by changing climatic conditions. Consequently, crop prediction for a particular zone presents difficulties for farmers. This is where machine learning (ML) steps in with techniques that are widely applied in agriculture. This work proposes a weighted stacked ensemble (WSE) method for the crop prediction process. It combines two base learners or classifiers to construct the WSE, which is a single predictive ensemble model, using weighted instances. The experimental outcomes show that the proposed WSE outperforms other classification and ensemble techniques in terms of improved crop prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":100619,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"47 3","pages":"127-135"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The suggested strategy is a consensus-based dynamic event-triggered (ET) distributed optimization method. Our methodology considers the sharing of the local information between generators and their convex cost functions to address the total cost function and offers a decentralized optimization solution over a network. The proposed distributed method addresses the ED problem by considering the criterion of optimal cost and by offering efficient communication. Generating units are grouped according to their generation operational limits, that is, total capacity and dynamic ET distributed protocols are developed to ensure the consensus of cost variables among generating units, operating under normal capacity conditions. The remaining generating agents work on their operating limits, which are segregated through the sharing of flag information through a switching mechanism. Consequently, in contrast to the existing methods, the recommended protocol allows nodes to function in groups, based on the power supply, for ED with geographical clustering and capacity restrictions, in addition to handling the system constraints. Furthermore, the proposed technique employs a dynamic triggering method to manage bandwidth and guarantee the elimination of Zeno behavior. The simulation results validate the efficacy of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":100619,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"47 3","pages":"136-147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the production of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs), only a limited number of images of surface defects can be obtained. FPCB surface defect datasets have small samples and severe imbalances, which can significantly affect defect classification accuracy. Hence, this article presented a lightweight visual geometry group (L-VGG), developed by modifying the classical VGG16 network structure. The L-VGG network was optimized using L2 regularization and sample weighting, which alleviated the over-fitting phenomenon caused by small samples and improved validation accuracy. In addition, the differences among the classification accuracies of different defect images caused by imbalanced datasets were significantly reduced. The training time of the proposed L-VGG network was equivalent to 83.84% and 91.94% compression of the traditional VGG16 and ResNet18 networks, respectively.
