To reduce the risk of medical complications associated with inadequate control of diabetes, continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels is necessary. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique based on optical methods, so it is a more comfortable, painless, and prick-free method than conventional measuring and reduces the risk of infection in the patient. However, NIRS, like other optical methods, presents an error in the estimation due to the differences between the physical and functional parameters of the skin and tissues of each subject and its interaction with light. This work focuses on the automatic determination of skin tone, one of the factors that interferes with glucose measurement. Deviations due to skin tone parameter in NIRS-based optical blood glucose measurement can be compensated for through image processing.","PeriodicalId":237392,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132606350","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}

This paper proposes a multiple fault classification/monitoring system for a type of PEC widely used in EVs. Hence, this study can be used by a supervisory system that can perform corrective actions, ensuring a continuous operation of the charging system. The main objective of this paper is to determine different types of faults that can cause a malfunction during the operation of the onboard converter. The detection procedure is based on the machine learning technique named Random Forest Classifier (RFC); it focuses on the semiconductor components and the grid status when powering the system for battery charging. The proposed system performance is numerically compared with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) system, can be generalized to include other faults, and shows superior performance on training and execution times and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":237392,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131280895","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}

Renewable energy generated from on-site wind and solar resources are used to generate hydrogen using electrolysis. The generated hydrogen is stored in an on-site hydrogen storage tank and used to fuel a total hydrogen demand of two ton per day. The model is based on a stochastic mixed-integer linear programming formulation that solves for optimal sizing of the wind turbines, the photo-voltaic arrays, the hydrogen production capacity of the electrolyzers, and the storage capacity of the hydrogen tank. Numerical results are provided using available cost parameters in the context of Canadian market. The simulation results show that an (almost) green hydrogen fueling station powered by only wind and solar energy could produce hydrogen at under 6.8 $/kg when financing costs are considered or under 5 $/kg when financing costs are neglected. A hybrid fueling station that supplies hydrogen using a mix of on-site generated green hydrogen and imported blue hydrogen (<18 %), could produce hydrogen at under 5 $/kg considering financing cost or under 3 $/kg when such costs can be neglected.","PeriodicalId":237392,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114072728","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}

In addition, the feasibility of hybrid energy systems, such as photovoltaics, diesel and batteries, is studied. The technical dimensioning is carried out using commercial software (HOMER), where several simulations are performed to obtain the optimal composition of the generation system. The results provide two relevant economic parameters; the initial capital cost (ICC) and the cost of energy (CoE). The selected hybrid system reaches an ICC of 154.281 USD and a CoE of 0,30 USD/kWh.

Accelerometry was recorded from 9 healthy subjects that stood for 60 seconds in two conditions: without and with GVS. Stimulation current ranged from 0.1–1 mA. The accelerometric sensor was placed over the rectus femoris, a postural muscle, and subsequently, signals were analyzed by a recurrence quantification analysis (QRA). No significant differences were found between the conditions. However, the qualitative and quantitative RQA showed a quasi-periodic-chaotic system behavior.
