In earlier research several algorithms and models were introduced to enhance the performance of HWSN network in various applications in terms of energy saving process. But still management of a huge number of devices in IoT is under an open research area. Still, it needs improvement in energy efficiency improvisation and device safety. To improve the overall performance of the HWSN network in IoT background the authors of this paper proposed an improved sensor localization with an intelligent trust model in HWSN (ISL-ITMH) network. The major categories of this proposed ISL-ITMH include data transmission process, energy consumption model, trust based communication among the devices in the network and threshold-based energy model. With these processes' presence, communication among each device in the network is effectively analyzed and monitored so that both the trust calculations and energy efficiency is maximum and that helps to attend maximum performance in data transmission in the HWSN network. The implementation of this concept is demonstrated in the software NS3 and certain parameters are measured for the result analysis: energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio, routing overhead, trust score, network throughput and end to end delay. From the result outcome, the proposed ISL-ITMH obtained results which increases the energy efficiency, throughput and data delivery rate throughout the entire iteration compared with the earlier baseline methodologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48686,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Computing-Informatics & Systems","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 101122"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843898","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}

This shift has made renewable energy an inescapable component of our power grids. A fresh approach is being proposed for load frequency control (LFC) in multi-area power systems, integrating diverse energy sources like photovoltaic (PV), electric vehicles, wind turbines, and thermal plants. This study dives deep into the complex domain of control systems by examining the intercommunication between multi-stage controllers, specifically comparing the 2DOF proportional integral and derivative with filter-PI (2 Degrees of Freedom PIDn-PI) models against the classic PI and 2DOF-PIDn controllers. The key differentiator here lies in introducing an enhanced coyote optimization algorithm (ECOA), aimed at determining the optimal parameters for these advanced controllers. A unique facet of this research is its inclusion of uncertainty, addressing variability by allowing the system parameters to fluctuate within a range of ± 40 %. The robustness of the suggested controllers is tested under dynamic load changes, with these variations applied independently across multiple regions. Two distinct test scenarios are employed, each subject to varying disturbances, to gauge the controllers' adaptability. The operational restrictions of the governor dead band (GDB) impact on the reheat thermal governor unit and generation rate constraint (GRC) in the reheat thermal generating units are simulated using the proper dynamic models. This research includes GDB after the governor unit and GRC after re-heat unit and studies the effect of nonlinearity in power system. CTD is added before the controller and because, in a realistic scenario, there is a time delay in communication with the system. So, the proposed controller helps to give the results as close as the real-time scenario. The findings reveal that by incorporating the GRC, GDB and CTD, the oscillations are damp successfully and even rise under uncertainty situations. The stability analysis also performs the proposed technique upon comparison with previously established methods. The simulated results imply that the proposed multi-staged 2DOF PIDn-PI control system, optimized by ECOA, exhibits remarkable efficiency and resilience. For instance, in case of perturbation in the system, the cumulative settling time of the proposed controller is 1.137 sec while compared with GA-PI, PSO-PID, ABC-PIDn, COA-PI, COA-PIDn, MPA-PIDn has settling time of 28.972 sec, 26.42 sec, 24.52 sec, 17.68 sec, 15.125 sec and 14.01 sec respectively. Its ability to manage load frequency control across multi-area power systems sets it apart, offering a sophisticated solution to the complexities of modern energy management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48686,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Computing-Informatics & Systems","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 101120"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143777337","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}
