As a result, there is a massive build-up of cache, non-recyclable waste, and emissions in the atmosphere. To counteract these unfavorable outcomes, we have swapped our ways of exploiting natural resources and fossil fuels to other sources and renewable energy. Solar energy is the third most prevalent of these after Hydro-power and Wind energy, since it is the most common renewable energy source for energy production and consumption, and there are also numerous ways to enhance solar energy. However, since there are cascading losses, the expected result can only be achieved by minimizing these losses with sufficient add-on. For example, for a panel, the solar tilt angle, the temperature, shadow casting, site of installation, etc are the factors that can cause loss if not dealt with accuracy. Along with the essential regulations, additional equipment like tracking systems, floating panels, as well as integrating other technologies with the systems can improve efficiency. In this paper, the performance of a solar panel with single-axis tracking and a floating panel with a tracker is evaluated for domestic usage. The findings, effectiveness, and any defects that may exist are discussed.","PeriodicalId":345537,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th IEEE PES Asia Pacific Power & Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126348880","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}

Cyber-physical attacks in terms of false data injections (FDIs) aiming to overflow multiple transmission lines are the worst type of attacks that might lead to cascading failures or blackouts. In this paper, an optimized single hidden layer neural network-based detection framework is developed to detect FDIs on targeted set of nodes leading to cascading failures. To increase the accuracy of the proposed single hidden layer neural network, Xavier's weight initialization method is adopted. Using an attack model, bad data was generated for one months to be used along with clean data for training of the proposed detection framework. Results on IEEE 118-bus benchmark confirm high accuracy with low computational complexity of the proposed algorithm in detection of cyber-physical attacks.","PeriodicalId":345537,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th IEEE PES Asia Pacific Power & Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"57 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113936630","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}
