However and due to many environmental factors, providing a reliable and fault tolerant control solution that can accomplish the main objectives of the power generation, even in the presence of faults, is an inevitable requirement. The main objective of this paper is to review the challenges of fault diagnosis of solar power systems and to present a hybrid and cloud-enabled architecture for a health monitoring system for photovoltaic (PV) farms, where both model-based and data-driven methods are utilized in a unified framework. The main focus of our proposed architecture is to explain the main components of a practical solution such that it can be easily integrated into currently available cloud technologies. This solution can significantly improve reliability of the new generations of power supply networks. The key enabler of our proposed solution is its modular structure; particularly, it can be augmented with any available or future control systems such as automated PV cleaning systems in order to provide a fully autonomous fault tolerant control solution that can (i) detect, (ii) localize, and (iii) rectify various types of faults in PV systems (such as shade faults). Furthermore, we discuss data privacy concerns and how our architecture addresses this issue.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126787559","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}

Instead, farmers use water to supply plants with the needed dissolved nutrition and minerals. This approach is hailed by society because it solves the problem of fertile land scarcity. In this work, we build a prototype, called Hystorms, which uses Internet of Things (IoTs) and a smartphone app to monitor hydroponic environments and alert farmers to abnormal conditions that need attention or adjustment. The IoT sensors transmit environmental data across the network to the farmer’s smartphone app via the Cloud. The Hystorms app delivers to farmers lots of information related to their hydroponics such as the GPS location of the current position of the farmer and a comprehensive profile about each hydroponic, such as its nutrition needs, schedule of fertilization, ambiance conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc.), history of previously collected data, and notifications of unusual readings. Preliminary evaluation results for this prototype show a high acceptance level (80.5%) by farmers that can encourage more of them to adopt this new technology in agriculture.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129227530","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 paper describes a toolbox designed to support undergraduate or graduate level courses on speech processing. The proposed educational toolbox is designed as a virtual lab for basic operations in digital speech processing-based courses. This graphical user interface (GUI) based speech analysis algorithm is built with six main function modules, which are signal input, noise addition, up-sampling/down-sampling, time domain feature analysis, pitch detection and frequency domain analysis. The toolbox involves different operations for measuring important speech feature parameters such as pitch, energy, zero-crossing ratio, FFT and power spectrum of an input speech signal. The toolbox has also been developed to easily manipulate and add some other possible speech processing methods. It is thought that the tool will make it easier for students to understand the methods that form the basis of digital speech processing, increase the interest in the lesson with its visual outputs, and allow new methods to be added easily when desired thanks to its simple and modular structure.

The Consequences of wearing RPMs, those pertaining to the perception and production of spoken communication, are rapidly becoming more prominent. Nevertheless, the utilization of face masks also causes attenuation in voice signals, and this alteration affects speech-processing technologies such as Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) and speech-to-text conversion. An intervention by a deep learning-based algorithm is considered vital to remedy the issue of inappropriate exploitation of speaker-based technology. Therefore, in the proposed framework, a speaker identification system has been implemented to examine the effect of masks. First, the speech signals have been captured, pre-processed, and augmented by a variety of data augmentation techniques. Afterward, different “Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients” (MFCC) features have been extracted to be fed into a “Long Short-Term Memory” (LSTM) for identifying speakers. The system’s overall performance has been assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, and Fl-score, which yields 93%, 93.3%, 92.2%, and 92.8%, respectively. The obtained results are still in a rudimentary phase, and they are subjected to further enhancements in the future by data expansion and exploitation of multiple optimization techniques.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114256648","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 this research, we use a deep learning-based long short-term memory (LSTM) model for the prediction of chaotic time series of the Lorenz attractor. This paper uses three datasets of (25k) samples with three precisions (the step size$triangle$ t=0.01, 0.005, and 0.001) for training the LSTM model. The mean square error MSE and root mean square error RMSE metrics are used to measure the training performance. The best performance was obtained by increasing the precisions of the training data, where the values of metrics were 5. 3033e - 5 and 0.0073 for MSE and RMSE respectively. It is found that the training performance can be improved by increasing the precision of the training data i.e., reducing the step size.
