It limits the response time of a system. Integrating plus dead time (IPDT) processes provide oscillatory and slow response if the parameters of a system are not tuned properly despite dead time compensators (DTCs) being used. To overcome these shortcomings, the Smith predictor based sliding-mode control (SP-SMC) strategy using the Jaya optimization technique for IPDT processes is proposed in this study. For the selected populations, the cost function and best controller parameters are evaluated. The proposed strategy is compared with the typical Smith predictor-based proportional, integral and derivative (SP-PID), and conventional SP-SMC design methods. To evaluate the performance, integrating first-order with dead time (IFODT) process models with different controllability relationships (CR) is considered. Robustness analysis of the controller is carried out in this study for 30% parametric uncertainties and bounded disturbances. The simulation tests on a laboratory process (level) control system reveal the supremacy of the Jaya optimization algorithm over prevalent control strategies. Compared to SP-PID and SP-SMC, the proposed design method shows an improvement of 33.07% and 12.58% in settling time and an improvement of 19.73% and 22.93% in rise time with 0% overshoot, respectively. The applied setup elicits better multi-level set point tracking and disturbance rejection capabilities with the step input. Besides, the proposed algorithm shows better closed-loop performance for numerical simulations of Models 1 and 2.","PeriodicalId":38808,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Communications","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81399110","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 design of the antenna array has a significant impact on how well the communication system performs. The large number of pieces and the large sidelobe levels provide the biggest design hurdles for such arrays. The antenna arrays have recently been heavily thinned using optimization approaches that take advantage of evolutionary algorithms in order to lower power consumption and enhance the radiation pattern by lowering sidelobe levels. A global optimum for this kind of algorithm is not guaranteed, though, because of the stochastic nature of the resolution techniques. This work characterizes the optimal pattern synthesis of a linear array antenna using the Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm. The main aim is to obtain a low Side Lobe Level (SLL) that avoids interference and a narrow beam width for acquiring high directivity to obtain the optimal solution established on the action of the swarm that adopts the fitness function. To achieve these targets, we analyze the optimization of the excitation amplitude and inter-element spacing of the array. In this article, we have presented the optimal power pattern obtained by two different types of excitation amplitude distributions for both uniformly spaced linear arrays and non-uniformly spaced linear arrays. In the first case of amplitude distribution, namely, non-uniform distribution of excitation amplitude, synthesis of the array pattern for three different values of inter-element spacing as well as optimized spacing are presented for different array sizes. In the second case, optimal thinning of a uniformly spaced array as well as a non-uniformly spaced (optimized) array has been presented. The IPSO algorithm provides a radiation pattern that is used to determine the set of antenna array parameters. The design of an antenna array using the IPSO algorithm gives significant enhancements when compared with a uniformly excited and uniformly spaced array. The flexibility as well as ease of implementation of the IPSO algorithm are evident from this analysis, showing the algorithm’s usefulness in electromagnetic optimization problems.","PeriodicalId":38808,"journal":{"name":"Transactions on Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Communications","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77667787","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 antenna senses the dielectric properties of diabetic-affected pancreas, such as low and high-fat diabetic pancreas, in the frequency range between 1.5 GHz and 3 GHz. The relative permittivity of the diabetic pancreas is in the range of 48.235 to 65.508.

The resonance-frequency-based diabetic measurement shows inaccurate results. The HI antenna senses pancreas radiation effectively because of the shape and size of its slot, which covers the pancreas region of the human body without generating noise due to the crumbling effect during pancreas dielectric radiation acquisition.

Prior to a blackout, a failing system reaches an emergency state, and UVLS is executed as the final option to prevent voltage collapse. Hence, this article introduces an optimal UVLS method using a feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) model trained with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to obtain the optimal load shedding amount for a distribution system. PSO is used to obtain the best topology and optimum initial weights of the ANN model to enhance the precision of the ANN model. Thus, the dispute between the optimum fitting regression of the allocation of ANN nodes and computational time was disclosed, while the MSE of the ANN model was minimized. Moreover, the proposed method uses the stability index (SI) to identify the weak buses in the system following an emergency state. Different overload scenarios are examined on the IEEE 33-bus distribution network to validate the efficacy of the suggested UVLS scheme. A comparative study is performed to further assess the performance of the proposed technique.

Direct torque control (DTC) is among the most widely used strategies for controlling DFIGs due to its many advantages, such as robustness, simplicity, and fast response dynamics. However, this control causes big ripples in both torque and flux. Furthermore, it has significant total harmonic distortion (THD). Several solutions are proposed to overcome these problems, including nonlinear techniques and intelligent strategies such as genetic algorithms. In this work, two different controllers are proposed to improve the performance of the DTC technique. Firstly, the second-order continuous sliding mode (SOCSM) based on fractional-order (FO) control, and secondly, the super twisting algorithm (STA) based on the FO technique. The biggest advantages of the proposed strategies are their durability and ease of execution. Based on the proposed controls, the DTC strategy can greatly improve generator performance in different operating conditions. This paper also provides a comparative analysis of DTC-FOSOCSMC, DTC, and DTC-FOSTA in terms of reference tracking, robustness, chattering reduction, and computational complexity, using mathematical theory and simulation carried out in Matlab/Simulink using a 1.5 MW DFIG-based wind turbine.

These topologies operate using DC sources and capacitors having the same or different voltage levels, which can be extended by cascading the modules to attain a higher voltage level suitable for high-power applications. Therefore, the proposed CT-Type MLI is a good choice for renewable energy applications that require a lower input voltage source magnitude to attain high voltage levels.

The importance of embedding a watermark in several sub-bands has been examined to increase the robustness against various image attacks while retaining a reasonable level of imperceptibility. During the study, robustness is analyzed and watched against the number of attacks such as compression attacks, noisy attacks, de-noising attacks, and geometric attacks. It is moreover seen that higher sub-bands are seen to offer good imperceptibility, and robustness performance depends on the nature of attacks. It has also been noticed that entire attacks affect the watermarked image in a different way.
