However, the regulation of output voltage and desired range of the fuel utilization, caused by its strong nonlinearity, system uncertainty and ever-changing external current load, are challengeable. To relieve these challenges, this paper proposes a hybrid control scheme combing the physical feedforward and desired dynamic equation (DDE) control. By analyzing these control challenges theoretically, a physical feedforward is applied to accelerate the system response and keep the fuel utilization in the desired range, and DDE control is proposed to handle system nonlinearity, uncertainty and external disturbances. Then a practical and effective tuning method for the DDE parameters is provided. Finally, the proposed and comparative control strategies are applied to the SOFC system. Simulation results show that the proposed control scheme has the strongest ability to reject the external current load and handle system uncertainties. Besides, it can guarantee that fuel utilization always locates in a reasonable range.","PeriodicalId":211011,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Universal Village (UV)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132030945","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}

Due to privacy or other issues, not everyone is open to having all the data on their phone collected and analyzed. In addition, Law Enforcement Organizations need a lot of memory to keep the information taken from a witness’s phone. Deepfakes which are purposefully utilized as a source of disinformation, manipulation, harassment, and persuasion in court, present another significant problem for law enforcement organizations. Recently, the introduction of blockchain has altered the way we conduct business. Decentralized Applications (Dapps) may be a fantastic way to verify the accuracy of the data, stop the spread of false information, extract specific data with precision, and offer a framework for sharing that takes into account privacy and memory issues. This article outlines the creation of a Dapp that provides users with a secure conduit through distributing evidence that has been verified. By utilizing machine learning (ML) classifiers, this platform not only distinguishes between altered and original material before allowing it, but also uses user-uploaded media to retrain its models to increase prediction accuracy and offer complete transparency.

However, for people experiencing homelessness, and other such vulnerable groups are under social circumstances lacking humanistic consideration and facing moral issues. Over the past few years, many policies, technologies and approaches have been developed in directions like developing information-collecting platforms, building and classifying emergency shelters and creating robots dedicated to solving comprehensive problems to help people overcome the influences of poverty, illness and unaffordable housing that lead to homelessness, but the actions are never enough because of the partial absence of their focus on user experience, insufficient scope of application and the difficulty of promotion.

STCU utilizes a fast Fourier transform-based autocorrelation mechanism to extract the correlations between temporal sequences, a graph attention mechanism to extract the correlations between spatial traffic monitors, and a feedforward neural network to fuse the interacting spatial-temporal correlations. We construct a traffic flow prediction model with a stacked STCU module called Sequential STCU (SSTCU).

Because of agricultural mismanagement, groundwater is being pumped in large quantities, resulting in groundwater depletion.

Addressing this problem this paper describes a methodical irrigation system with IoT-based monitoring for sustainable farming. One of the effective instruments for eradicating poverty is agricultural advancement. The majority of agricultural activities utilize physical material handling or outdated technology. Farmers are falling behind in terms of adequately maintaining soil and water resources, which are key components of sustainable agriculture. The proposed irrigation system is the way forward if we want to solve the problem. In this system, different sensors are placed in different places of farmland to monitor the environment and decide when irrigation is needed. The system will fetch data from API to predict the weather so that irrigation can be optimized and solve the problem of water logging and wastage of water. The water flow will be controlled by the sprinkler integrated with programmable flow valves.
