The share of electricity generation based on wind energy among renewable energy sources in the world is increasing day by day in parallel with the development and design diversity in wind turbines and generators. This study is mainly focused on the effect of different magnet materials in permanent magnet synchronous wind generators based on recent trends in wind turbine generator technologies. Permanent magnet synchronous generators with Neodymium (NdFeB) and Ferrite type magnets are widely used in the small-scale wind turbine industry. In the present study, generator designs that have NdFeB and Ferrite (ceramic) magnets are given comparatively in terms of sizing, power density, magnet cost, product of energy (BHmax) rotor magnet configuration, accessibility to raw materials, supply chain and overall performances.","PeriodicalId":270469,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114879737","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}

To this aim, it is essential to take into account the inherited uncertainties due to unmodeled dynamics, uncertain localization, and disturbances. This paper deals with the problem of robust trajectory planning for autonomous lane-changing in the presence of uncertainties. Considering trajectory planning as an online decision-making problem, we propose a robust model predictive control (rMPC), which minimizes deviations from a reference speed and a lateral target position while keeping a subject vehicle within road limits and avoiding collisions with an in-lane vehicle. Uncertainties are explicitly modeled as an additive disturbance in the formulation, wherein the optimal control decisions are obtained by solving a quadratic program (QP). The resulting rMPC guarantees robust state-input satisfaction under the additive disturbance even when the QP solver iterations are stopped prematurely. A set of simulation experiments is studied under different initial scenarios to validate the design, demonstrating the potential utility of the proposed control algorithm for reliable lane-changing.","PeriodicalId":270469,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114961048","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 manuscript also demonstrates porosity evolution as a combination of increasing both layer thickness and scan speeds. Results show that the melt pool sizes are almost similar under various layer thicknesses for all single beads with minor discrepancies in the melt pool measurements employing different high scanning speeds. Although, the morphology of the melt pool indicates clear changes among various thicknesses, in fact, increasing layer thickness combined with increasing scan speed seriously deteriorates the part quality during SLM process. The simulation results agree with experimental ones.","PeriodicalId":270469,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132499706","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 slime mould algorithm has been shown to be a good competitive approach in the field of metaheuristics, however, it still suffers from poor exploitative behaviour, thus, suffers from slow convergence and lacks providing potentially better solutions which eventually requires an improvement. Considering the latter fact, this study attempts to further enhance the capability of the original version of slime mould algorithm so that it can be utilized for optimization problems as an even better approach. Therefore, Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search method was utilized as an aiding structure to enhance the slime mould algorithm in terms of local search, as well. The constructed hybrid approach (SMA-NM) utilizes the slime mould algorithm for diversification and Nelder-Mead method for intensification which consequently enhances the algorithm due to better refinement of balance between exploration and exploitation stages. To assess the capability of the proposed approach, unimodal and multimodal benchmark functions were used. The performance of the proposed hybrid algorithm was tested against those test functions, in terms of exploitation, exploration, statistical significance and ranking. by comparing it with the grey wolf optimization, arithmetic optimization, and the original version of slime mould algorithms. The performed analyses have shown the proposed approach to be a greater competitive approach to deal with optimization problems.","PeriodicalId":270469,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130918269","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 main problems associated with this issue are insufficient labeled data and classification using nominal class labels, rather than ordinal ones. To overcome these problems, in this study, the Semi-Supervised Ordinal Classification (SSOC) method was tested on education data and satisfactory results were obtained. The SSOC method combines both semi-supervised learning and ordinal classification approach. Thanks to this method, a significant increase in accuracy achieved on three different education data. In the experiments, the SSOC method was tested by using different base learners, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Neural Network. For semi-supervised learning, the classification results were obtained with different quantities of labeled instances varying from 15% to 50% with 5% increments and finally as 75% labeled data. The datasets used in this study have an ordinal categorical structure such as $(c1 lt c2 lt c3)$. The experimental results show that the SSOC method can achieve satisfactory performance in case of using data that has ordinal structure but has small amount of labeled instances and large amount of unlabeled instances. In the field of education, it is highly likely that datasets related to student achievement have ordinal structure. Therefore, SSOC can be successfully used in classification studies in education.","PeriodicalId":270469,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130919722","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}
