The EEEFO algorithm leverages the electric eel foraging optimizer's skills with genetic operators to address the challenging issues of optimum design of large electrical distribution networks. The primary objective of this study is to minimize power loss and enhance voltage stability of distribution networks. The effectiveness of the EEEFO algorithm is demonstrated through its application to several large distribution networks, including 70-bus, 85-bus, 118-bus, 136-bus, 141-bus, and 415-bus systems. Additionally, the EEEFO algorithm's efficiency is evaluated against other algorithms and previous research in the area. Simulation findings demonstrate the usefulness of optimizing DG at the optimum power factor while also optimizing DSC with ONR to improve power system performance.

The front stage of this inverter comprises two flyback circuits, which are connected in parallel on the primary side of the voltage apparatus in order to ensure safe isolation. Furthermore, an RCS(The circuit consists of resistors, capacitors and switches) active clamp circuit is connected in parallel to the main switch of the front-stage flyback circuit, and the voltage total harmonic distortion(THD) of <3.0 %. The rear stage employs a dual buck circuit configuration, which offers a distinctive benefit in that it eliminates the necessity for straight-through bridge arms in comparison to a full-bridge circuit.

However, challenges for vehicle detection in complex backgrounds include the low detection accuracy due to insufficient feature extraction and fusion, and high hardware costs as a result of a large number of model parameters. To address these issues, this paper proposes a high-precision vehicle detection model (HVDM). Firstly, through integrating coordinate attention (CA) mechanism into Faster Implementation of Cross Stage Partial Bottleneck with 2 Convolutions(C2f) module, a focused feature extraction module (FFEM) is proposed, which replaces C2f module in backbone to improve the capacity of model for feature extraction. Secondly, triple weighted feature fusion pyramid network (TWFFPN) is constructed by introducing underlying small object feature layer and adding data connections between feature maps of different levels, which improves the ability of multi-scale feature fusion in the network. Finally, normalized Wasserstein distance (NWD) loss is used to substitute for complete intersection over union (CIoU) loss, so the network gets the same sensitivity to objects regardless of their sizes, increasing vehicle detection accuracy. To examine the effectiveness of HVDM, numerous experiments are carried out on datasets for object detection in aerial images (DOTA) and datasets for object detection in optical remote sensing images (DIOR). Experimental results show that our method has a higher accuracy than other methods in vehicle detection and the number of parameters in HVDM is almost the same as that in baseline YOLOv8, which indicates our model's good performance in balancing between detection accuracy and the number of parameters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50630,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Electrical Engineering","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 110065"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143144568","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}

However, we believe that the existing ECN mechanism in the TCP/IP protocol stack may require further optimization to effectively address the evolving congestion challenges introduced by emerging technologies like immersive AR/VR applications and the burgeoning field of the Internet of Things (IoT). To that end, we propose a multilevel congestion notification mechanism called Enhanced ECN (EECN) that leverages the existing two ECN bits in the IP header to notify two levels of congestion in the network and uses the corresponding two bits in the TCP header to negotiate EECN during the handshake and echo congestion experienced back to the sender. Additionally, we propose a congestion control mechanism that triggers different congestion control responses based on the average RTT and multilevel congestion feedback received from the network, which yields promising results, highlighting the effectiveness of utilizing multilevel congestion feedback.

The packets marked are reduced by 96% compared to ECN and 76% compared to VCP.
