The most well-known MCS is the dual-criticality system, which consists of high and low-criticality tasks. With the increase in the number of cores, the occurrence rate of faults has also increased in MCSs. For this reason, employing fault-tolerant techniques has become crucial. Although exploiting fault-tolerant techniques can improve system reliability, it might lead to increasing the temperature of the system beyond safe limits. In this paper, we present peak-power-aware scheduling for MCSs that employs the checkpointing technique while guaranteeing the timing, reliability, and thermal design power (TDP) constraints. In the proposed method, first, the minimum number of checkpoints for each task is calculated and assigned to the different execution sections of the tasks. Afterward, the cores are divided into safety-critical and non-safety-critical pairs, and tasks are mapped to cores and scheduled. It should be noted that this is a preliminary division and does not mean isolating the cores from each other. At each dedicated point in the schedule, if the TDP is violated, tasks are shifted from the last checkpoint until this constraint is not violated. Finally, the existing slack times are exploited to improve the QoS and reduce the average power consumption of the system. The proposed method is compared with the state-of-the-art fault-tolerant techniques, resulting in 35.6% and 36.5% improvement in all scenarios and in feasible scenarios, respectively, while the TDP constraint is not violated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48686,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Computing-Informatics & Systems","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 101156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144596504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supplying greenhouse energy from the main grid faces two main challenges: fluctuating energy prices throughout the day and the risk of planned or unplanned outages. Similarly, relying solely on renewable energy resources is constrained by their intermittent availability. Consequently, this study investigates energy supply planning for greenhouses with flexible demand by leveraging renewable resources within a smart grid. In this respect, a bi-objective energy planning model is developed for greenhouses, aiming to minimize energy consumption costs and maximize crop quality. This model accounts for variable main grid energy prices, the opportunity to sell renewable electricity back to the grid, and limitations on renewable energy supply during specific hours. The extended epsilon-constraint method solves the model, generating non-dominated points that define various production modes. From these results, 9 distinct production modes are presented, allowing decision-makers to select based on preferences such as desired crop quality levels and/or the quantity of electricity sold to the grid. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is performed under two scenarios: cost reduction and crop quality improvement. Results for the first scenario show that increasing the electricity selling price reduces production costs and increases the amount sold to the main grid. In the second scenario, a significant 25 % reduction in required energy leads to a substantial decrease in production costs, a key finding of this study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48686,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Computing-Informatics & Systems","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 101163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144596183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photovoltaic (PV) systems enable direct solar-to-electric conversion but face challenges such as nonlinear behavior and multiple Local Maximum Power Points (LMPPs) under Complex Partial Shading Conditions (CPSCs). This study introduces an enhanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method based on a hybrid Artificial Neural Network–Improved Incremental Conductance (ANN-IINC) model. The ANN is trained using representative datasets capturing diverse shading patterns to estimate optimal reference voltages dynamically, while the IINC module accelerates convergence with reduced oscillations. To validate the proposed method, three CPSC scenarios are simulated and compared with traditional perturb and observe and INC techniques, as well as recent metaheuristic optimization algorithms. Sensitivity and descriptive statistical analyses confirm that the ANN-IINC approach not only achieves faster convergence (81.9 ms) and higher tracking accuracy (up to 99.9096 %) but also reduces standard deviation in power output by 11.3 %–14.8 % compared to classical methods. Furthermore, confidence intervals for efficiency are narrowed by over 20 %, demonstrating improved robustness and statistical significance. The method's computational complexity is optimized, maintaining real-time applicability without sacrificing precision. A comprehensive adaptive analysis and hyperparameter sensitivity study further reinforce the superiority and practical relevance of the hybrid architecture.
