The proposed architecture is evaluated on the UCI HAR and WIDSM datasets. The results highlight that OCPSO performs better than particle swarm optimization (PSO) in feature selection, convergence speed, and recognition accuracy. Moreover, it is shown that for the MI-1D-CNN classifier, the frequency-domain signals (95.96%) perform better than time-domain signals (95.66%). In addition, this paper investigates the impact of the convolution layers, feature maps, filter sizes, and decision fusion methods on recognition accuracy.

The clock synchronisation network is composed of the clock synchronisation systems of power grids at all levels. Dispatching agencies, power plants, and substations have their clock synchronisation systems. By using computer technology, communication technology, and network technology, combined with the topological structure of the power grid and geographic information of the geographic information system, automatically process the key index data to ensure that the distribution network project can manage the power consumption and distribution 24 h without interruption. Considering the particularity of power, the accuracy of the receiver is strictly required, and so are the positioning, speed measurement, and time accuracy. Test indicators study a set of accurate and reliable test and evaluation methods. A gross error processing method based on the k-means algorithm is proposed. Experiments show that gross errors can be well identified and eliminated in one-dimensional and multidimensional data. Considering that invalid data may be hidden in the test data, to improve the identification accuracy without affecting the detection of normal gross errors, based on the proposed k-means algorithm, the number of visible satellites is added. Because the magnitude difference between the number of visible satellites and the original three-dimensional positioning error data is relatively large, it is normalised first. The processing data is extended from three-dimensional to four-dimensional. The experimental simulation shows that it can not only identify invalid data but also ensure a good effect of gross error elimination, reduce possible economic losses, bring significant direct and indirect economic benefits, and verify the feasibility and promotional value of the online monitoring platform through practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":36881,"journal":{"name":"IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory and Applications","volume":"8 1","pages":"34-42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cps2.12044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50133084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to the previous research studies on hexarotors, the current study takes account of the influences of non-linear and coupling dynamics, structured and unstructured uncertainties, external time-varying disturbances, and input time delays. A linear time-invariant system is derived for each Euler angle by considering the actual rotational dynamic model as a nominal non-linear system plus an equivalent perturbation, including non-linear and coupling dynamics, uncertainties, disturbances, and time delays. Using this approach, a Linear Quadratic Regulation controller is first designed for the nominal linear system of each angle to accomplish the desired tracking performances. Then, a robust compensator based on the robust compensation method is proposed to counteract the effects of the equivalent perturbation on the system. Moreover, the robust attitude tracking property and uniform asymptotical stability of the closed-loop hexarotor system are proved using Lyapunov stability theory.

Under the guidance of carbon emission reduction, the coal power units are gradually shut down, making the role of gas-fired power plants more important. However, in practice, gas-fired power plants often fail to show satisfactory flexibility. The main reasons are as follows: (1) Part of the capacity mechanism fails to effectively encourage gas-fired power plants to provide reliable flexibility and (2) the unreliability of fuel supply for gas-fired power plants. Aiming at these problems, the current capacity mechanism in different countries is first summarised and the applicability of the capacity mechanism for gas-fired power plants under the government regulation and market-oriented environment is analysed, respectively. Then, the characteristics of power dispatching and gas dispatching are analysed to explore the internal reasons for the unreliable fuel supply in gas-fired power plants. Based on the above analysis, the gas-electric coordination mechanism adapted to different development stages is proposed to solve the problem that the flexibility of gas-fired power plants cannot be guaranteed. In summary, through the research of this study, it is found that the main reason for the limited flexibility of gas-fired power plants is the lack of coordination among multiple entities belonging to different energy systems, such as electricity and gas. The cooperation mechanism proposed is an attempt to realise the cooperation between the electric system and the gas system, which provides the reference for closer collaboration among multiple energy systems in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":36881,"journal":{"name":"IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory and Applications","volume":"8 4","pages":"222-235"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cps2.12042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83994841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For industrial applications, especially Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), videos encoded with specific protocols are transferred to smart gateways. In a typical IIoT scenario, the protocol of the video is firstly recognised, which prepares for subsequent video tasks. Due to the constrained resources in such scenarios, the video quality can be deteriorated during encoding and compression processes, which is challenging for IIoT. Recently, there have been extensive works focussing on the protocol identification (PI) and video quality enhancement (VQE) tasks on IIoT edge devices using deep neural networks (DNNs). Since DNNs often require high computational resources, complex networks can hardly be deployed on edge devices. An IIoT system which can efficiently identify the stream protocol and enhance the video quality is proposed in this study. The light-weighted network designs and inference optimisation techniques have been proposed for PI and VQE to realise efficient deployments. Our proposed system employed on an IIoT edge device can achieve an accuracy of higher than 97.52% with fast inference speed for PI.
