This paper presents a self-powered behavior detection system based on a magnetic suspension hybrid wristband (MS-HW) and multi-scale convolutional channel attention residual network. The system consists of three modules: magnetic suspension electromagnetic generator module (MS-EMG), magnetic suspension triboelectric nanogenerator module (MS-TENG), and algorithm module (MCRnet). The whole wristband is a magnetic suspension double-layer tubular structure. Magnets and PTFE discs are attached as a moving stack, copper rings are evenly arranged on the outside of the inner tube, and coil groups are wound around the outer tube. During the reciprocating movement of the inner tube, the magnetic flux change of the coil generates electrical energy, and the charge transfer of the copper ring generates the triboelectric signal. Comsol simulation is carried out to optimize the configuration of the system. Then, we simulated a driving environment and collected the activity signals of 15 people. According to the characteristics of different action durations, many signal sampling points, and few channels, we propose a multi-scale convolutional channel attention residual network. Res Multiscale blocks in the network have multiple scaled convolutional kernels to collect signal features, satisfying different action durations. In the network, feature points continue to decrease, and the number of channels continues to increase. The efficient channel attention module (ECAblock) redistributes the weight of channels to further strengthen feature extraction. The stability of the whole network is guaranteed by the residual structure. Finally, the vibration table and network performance experiments are carried out to evaluate the power generation and sensing performance of the system.

India is a developing country, and its energy demands are increasing day by day. The economy of a country depends on energy consumption. To bridge the demand–supply gap and enhance the economy, a hybrid power generation system is proposed. A high-temperature fuel-cell is integrated with the conventional gas-turbine to improve its efficiency by more than 50%. A MATLAB-based simulation fuel-cell model is validated and then integrated with the gas turbine cycle. Performance can be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively using the first and second laws of thermodynamics, respectively. The impact of pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature on various operating parameters is discussed. The network output increases as the pressure ratio increases due to the greater expansion of combusted gas in the gas turbine. Solid oxide fuel cell work can increase energy efficiency by 41.27%. The hybrid system maximizes energy (63.78%) and exergy (60.17%) efficiency at pressure ratio 6.

Improvement (i) corrects the design point cooling capacity and heat input predictions to 0.03% and 0.04% error, respectively, far lower than the basic model (3.7% and 8.8%), while adding (ii) proves enough to enhance the off-design performance computation to excellent precision within 40%–100% of the rated hot water flow rate. Lastly, improvement (iii) allows the model to exhibit the performance-degrading partial wetting and overflow operating regimes at the evaporator, maintaining more realistic model predictions in off-design operation.

However, several challenges, notably the requirement for elevated reaction temperatures and substantial deoxygenation losses, currently impede the advancement of this technology. Here, we propose a high-efficiency solar thermochemical cycling system assisted by reducing gas for hydrogen production and establish a thermo-kinetic model for isothermal pressure-swing cycles. Carbon monoxide is introduced into the reduction reaction as the reducing gas, chemically facilitating a decrease in Gibbs free energy associated with oxygen vacancies formed by metal oxygen carriers. This process serves to diminish the reduction temperature while concurrently consuming oxygen, thereby establishing an environment characterized by an extremely low oxygen partial pressure. Furthermore, the utilization of industrial waste gas as the source of carbon monoxide input into the cycles is proposed, which represents a potential pathway for the effective utilization of industrial waste gas, concurrently enhancing the efficiency of the thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production. This system mitigates the issue of significant energy expenditures associated with conventional deoxygenation methods, such as the utilization of inert sweeping gases and vacuum pumps, while concurrently achieving a synergistic effect in reducing both the reaction temperature and the oxygen partial pressure.

In this context, we propose a novel hybrid algorithm, Mean Differential Evolution with Newton-Raphson (MDE-NR), which combines the strengths of Mean Differential Evolution (MDE) and the Newton-Raphson (NR) method to enhance the precision of parameter extraction. MDE, recognized for its ability to balance exploration and exploitation, employs an innovative mean-based mutation strategy that reduces the risk of premature convergence. However, while MDE effectively performs a global search, achieving the lowest possible error often requires further refinement. This is where the NR method comes into play, offering fast local convergence by using the optimal parameters generated by MDE as initial guesses. The combination of these two methods in MDE-NR significantly reduces the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) in the final estimation. The effectiveness of the MDE-NR algorithm is validated through comprehensive comparisons with well-known metaheuristic algorithms across Single Diode Model (SDM), Double Diode Model (DDM), and Photovoltaic Module Model (PMM), achieving minimal RMSE values with standard deviations as low as 10E-19 to 10E-21 over 30 runs, far superior to those of 10 other metaheuristic algorithms. The algorithm demonstrates rapid convergence and outperforms its counterparts in computational efficiency. Moreover, MDE-NR effectively handles varying environmental conditions, such as constant irradiation with variable temperature and vice versa, achieving highly accurate results across different PV technologies. This hybrid approach establishes MDE-NR as a highly effective and reliable tool for the precise extraction of PV parameters, providing significant improvements in both accuracy and computational efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11664,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142918048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
