The proposed technique is combination of hybridising Cat Swarm Optimisation (CSO) as well as Genetic Algorithm (GA); hence, it is called CSOGA technique. The UWB antenna is structured with 2.9–13.0 GHz frequency and to enhance the matching of impedance. The antenna type with size modification is determined by using optimisation algorithm. To attain the slits as well as strips band rejection in an antenna, the dual-band frequencies are rejected in 3.3–3.6 GHz as well as 5.15–5.825 GHz to band process of WiMAX, WLAN. Here, the efficiency of proposed technique is analysed by 10 standard benchmark functions (BF). The outcomes show that the proposed CSOGA technique gives 94% higher efficiency when likened to other techniques.","PeriodicalId":34935,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":"158 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76017616","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}

These signals are recorded from electrodes attached to the scalp and are used for measuring the bioelectric function of the auditory pathway. In order to characterise their dynamic behaviour and due to the complex behaviour of nonlinear dynamic properties of EEG signals, several nonlinear analyses have been performed. In this work, Detrented Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is applied to estimate the Fractal Dimension (FD) from the recorded AEP signals of the normal and the impaired hearing subjects. This aims at detecting their hearing threshold level. With the aim of classifying both groups, the normal and hearing impaired subjects, a hybrid approach based on the Support Vector machines (SVM) and genetic algorithms (GA) is taken: GA is applied to simultaneously optimise both SVM kernel parameters and feature subset selection. Our results indicate that the hybrid GA-SVM is promising; it is able to determine well the SVM kernel parameters along with feature subset selection, which will result in a high classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":34935,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"194 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83523459","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 causes an increase in task jitter which can affect the performance of the control system. Some researchers have claimed that Root-Mean-Square (RMS) of the task jitter is a good indicator of how the control system will be affected but there has been without evi- dence to show this to be true. In this paper, Gaussian, Uniform and a Brute force distributed task jitter, all with the same jitter RMS, were tested on a second order control system. The collected step response envelopes of 10,000 simulations for each jitter type show a very similar shape suggesting that task jitter RMS is a good indicator of control system performance. The overshoot distribution is shown to be normal which means that system performance can be characterised by a much smaller number of simulation runs.The work also shows that particular patterns can have a significant impact on overshoot and settling time. A real control system subject to task jitter may randomly and occasionally show extreme behaviour which may be outside acceptable limits. Simulation is essential to find these extremes early in the design process.","PeriodicalId":34935,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"253 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90316605","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 order to improve the optimisation capability of the standard CS, a new initialisation strategy of nests increases the exploitation search. The choice of an enhanced fitness function consisting of the weighted sum of the integral squared errors for longitude, latitude, altitude and attitude gives better performance. Then, the calculation of the velocity of displacements is inspired by the global nests’ intelligence search or the oriented CS capacity. Results and comparisons to the genetic algorithms, the particle swarm optimisation, the cooperative particle swarm optimisation-cuckoo search and the hybrid neural network PD techniques confirm that PD controllers tuned using the improved CS are efficient for quadrotor full control and trajectory tracking.","PeriodicalId":34935,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"219 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84356540","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 traditional deterministic methods of transient stability assessment fail to consider the uncertain nature of input variables. Moreover, there is a dire requirement to incorporate the impact of circuit breaker failure and severe weather in the transient stability risk assessment procedure. Majority of transient stability risk research assumes that the circuit breaker will always trip upon fault detection; however, in practice, the circuit breaker may not operate due to internal fault. Thus, this paper proposes a transient stability risk assessment framework,incorporating circuit breaker failure and severe weather. It considers the impact of severe weather, in the form of wind storms. The concept of fragility curves is used to model this impact. The IEEE 14-bus and the IEEE 39-bus test systems were used to test and validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. DIgSILENT PowerFactory was utilised for time-domain simulations for transient stability risk evaluation. The results show that it is vital to consider the circuit breaker failure and severe weather in the transient stability risk assessment procedure.","PeriodicalId":34935,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":"137 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88979358","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 proposed system explains the design and implementation a UAV system which consists of on-board and ground stations. The on-board system has the function to send UAV flight data, send aerial images and carry items using a gripper which equipped with sensors to detect obstacles. The ground station has the function to control UAV flights, receive and display UAV flight data and aerial images, display the attitude of the UAV and send commands to move the camera and gripper. Flight controllers in this system use non-linear complementary filter on SO(3) to estimate the attitude of the UAV and proportional-integral (PI) controller to stabilise the UAV flight.
