Therefore, scheduling algorithms that can benefit users of real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) applications are studied. System-level simulations are carried out to analyze the performance of a new proposed Channel and Quality of Service Aware scheduler (CQAS) and compare it to Round Robin (RR), Best Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), and QoS Aware Scheduler (QAS) in a heterogeneous network with multiple traffic models while varying the number of users to stress test the network. The results show that CQAS has significant gains in overall throughput and latency while performing well in the reliability and fairness index.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 8","pages":"659-669"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620389","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the estimation algorithms or methodologies that are proposed or investigated need to be evaluated in a controlled environment, where, among other things, synthetic PMU measurements obtained from simulations are used. These synthetic measurements require the addition of noise to be like the real ones. The problem found in the literature is the large difference in noise magnitudes used by the authors in their research. These magnitudes in several cases are inconsistent with each other and even seem to be exaggerated. It is for this reason that the present work determines the noise contained in the ambient data reported by PMU. The reliability of the results of this work is based, among other things, on the use of real PMU measurements, located in two different countries, with diverse reporting rates, and located at high, medium, and low voltage. Moreover, this work quantifies the impact that noise has on load modeling with ambient PMU data. In conclusion, the main results of this work are two. The first one covers the noise magnitudes contained in ambient PMU data. The second one demonstrates that noise has a significant and negative impact on load modeling.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 8","pages":"678-685"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of historical records and negligence in visual inspection is a problem to ensure a correct maintenance service. Therefore, the objective of the research was to develop a vision system capable of inspecting, recording, and verifying the hook parameters. The method involved designing a vision module on an integral crane scanner system. A five-state deformation experiment of a cargo hook was modeled with ANSYS and fabricated in 3D printing to validate the proposed module by measuring the parameters manually with a commercial and proprietary vision system. The comparison between the two systems was satisfactory in detecting the latch and the correct position. Finally, the proprietary system improved the resolution up to 0.0435 mm on the hook deformation. With the systems contribution, it will be possible to know the valuable and safe life of the crane hook by automatic constant inspection.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 8","pages":"632-641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although algorithms provide good results, it is necessary to understand why a model makes specific predictions with a particular data set. To explain this question, we apply Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in this paper. With this, it is possible to understand the characteristics that influence the model decisions when denoting between deaths and survivors. As a case of study, the positive cases detected during the winter season of 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 were considered. In this season, respiratory diseases increased considerably, and in the study period, they influenced the increase in positive cases and the spread of COVID-19.

Herein, the aim is to model the digital recloser using the S-function block of Simulink/Matlab. The proposed model for the recloser follows the configurations required by Brazilian electricity distribution companies, i.e. four operations divided into fast and slow, the latter one being responsible for permanently opening the section of the system on fault. To validate the modeled device, the IEEE 34-bar system was used, in which several operational cases were considered.
