Global warming and the many other hazardous effects made by fossil fuels motivated the whole world to transform to renewable energy resources. Water pumping is considered a primary load that consumes a high power conventionally supplied by diesel fuel. Therefore, Photovoltaic (PV) energy is increasingly employed in water pumping systems. This technology is based on using a PV array to convert solar energy into electrical energy to run a DC or AC motor-based water pump. To increase the employability of solar energy in water pumping systems, this paper presents a viable method of PV sizing to get the required PV modules to cover the load of water pumping. A presented method is a user-friendly tool based on economical values entered by a non-technician user. The main objective of the study is to cover the research gap found in the current PV sizing tools for water pumping systems by presenting a totally stand-alone PV system consisting of the solar array, inverter, solar charge controller, and circuit breaker, and a battery bank. Moreover, the total cost of the system installation and its payback period is calculated. The study has discussed the performance of the system in a different geographical location in Egypt. Finally, the carbon dioxide reduction saved by the system is measured. The results assure the effective utilization of solar energy as a driving energy source for the water pumping systems.","PeriodicalId":169048,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy (CPERE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121052329","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}

Given this case, this paper proposes a module for rider alertness. The module takes into account the rider’s level of alertness in real-time. This is essential as cyclists might sometimes face biological traumas that affect their alertness and decision-making ability, which they need to be aware of. Moreover, if any signs of drowsiness are shown facially, they are considered in the decision-making process and the system is capable to override the whole riding process if necessary.

Real-time recognition and classification of Power Quality Events (PQEs) are of great interest to the power system operators, to maintain an acceptable quality of the delivered power across the grid. This paper investigates the potential of using learningbased algorithms to obtain a single solution that can accurately (i) recognize and classify both single and multiple simultaneous PQEs, (ii) in a timely manner, and (iii) under practical sources of measurement error such as noise and dc offset. Simulations are carried out in two steps. Firstly, the performances of 31 reputable learning-based algorithms are evaluated, in MATLAB, to demonstrate the effect of the aforementioned signal variations and sources of error on the accuracy of PQEs recognition and classification. This effect is also verified using the advanced TDistributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding algorithm. Afterward, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is implemented to recognize and classify PQEs under the aforementioned factors. Our results show that, despite the given problem’s complexity, neural-network-based techniques are able to achieve higher accuracy than the other studied techniques.

These systems are composed of various modules that enable automated navigation. The main generic modules consist of data acquisition, perceiving the environment, finding the optimal path and controlling the actuators. A core module of the automated vehicles is estimating where the vehicle is with respect to the path to be traversed, namely, vehicle localization. Localization has been applied through the past few years based on various sensors such as LiDARs, Cameras and GPS. Each sensor has its own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, Camera and LiDAR-Based traversed path estimation Odometry can function within GPS-denied environments. On the other hand, localization based on GPS can be used in environments where Cameras and LiDARs can fail to extract useful information, such as in a desert. For the case of automated vehicles, there is access to high power computers on board, which can help run complex and computationally expensive algorithms. However, for smaller platforms such as smart bikes, they are computationally limited, which can be a challenge especially for Visual Odometry Based algorithms. Given that there have been few researches exploring Monocular Visual Odometry (MVO) algorithms that are computationally efficient, this paper proposes the use of and enhancing a MVO module to estimate the path traversed by a smart bike platform in real-life. The obtained scores were compared to the output of the tested algorithm on a consumer grade PC to explore the trade-off between the gained speed up and reduced accuracy, the to validate the results.","PeriodicalId":169048,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy (CPERE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130008143","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}
