However, previous proposals for fixed relaying devices are still insufficient. Thus, it is critical to developing a qualified SWIPT-pairing mechanism to select the relaying non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) users to provide THz transmission assistance for the obstructed or cell-edged receivers that receive attenuated signals, considering the infrastructure dynamism and relaying users’ mobility. The work in this paper presented a simplified automated strategy for the selection of the optimal relaying user-equipment out of the line of sight (LOS) users to the targeted user. It optimized a scalable two-user cooperative SWIPT pairing scheme using hybrid-NOMA and terahertz frequency bands. Its objective was to enhance the performance of modern wireless communications in terms of reliability, robustness, capacity, technical resourcefulness, and user fairness. Users’ performance is investigated based on the manipulation of the developed mechanism. The conducted results demonstrated a noticeable development of energy and spectral efficiencies in contrast with the state-of-the-art by more than 70%. This promising system/mechanism reduced system hardware (i.e., replaced fixed relays) and complexity (i.e., two-user clusters) with evolving THz coverage area, reliability, cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and dynamism.","PeriodicalId":288300,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126490984","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 intricate interconnections among renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and loads, as well as the uncertainties and fluctuation of energy supply and demand, make it difficult to optimize the energy management of microgrids. Using the Tabu Search algorithm, a metaheuristic optimization method that can effectively search the solution space and avoid becoming stuck in local optima, this paper offers a novel approach to energy management in microgrids Under a variety of restrictions on the energy balance, storage capacity, and system stability, we define the energy management problem as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model with the aim of reducing the total cost of energy consumption and maximizing the usage of renewables. Therefore, applying the Tabu Search method to this model shows that it is effective at locating excellent solutions quickly. The findings demonstrate that the proposed Tabu Search-based energy management system performs better in terms of solution quality, convergence speed, and robustness than alternative optimization strategies. The main assessment is that the Tabu Search algorithm’s performance in grid-connected and standalone operating modes as well as its sensitivity to various parameters.

Consumer energy cost is considered as the goal of optimizing home energy management and operating restrictions of different energy hub components are considered optimization terms. In this paper, the probabilistic method of two-point estimation is employed to model the uncertainty of solar panels.

The support structure was designed using SolidWorks, and a load simulation was conducted to ensure its structural stability. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material was utilized for the 3D printing process due to its superior mechanical and temperature properties. The tracking mechanism employed a servo motor to enable the solar panel to rotate on a single axis from east to west, aligning with the sun’s motion throughout the day. The control system was programmed to determine the sun’s position using output data from two light sensors and control the servo motor accordingly. The prototype of the system was tested outdoors, and the results showed that the solar tracking system can increase the energy output of the solar panel by up to 19.4% compared to a fixed solar panel.
