We take advantage of the fuzzy control system (FCS) scheme to gain prior knowledge about the distribution pattern of the nodes. The simulation results confirm that deploying chargers based on this scheme decreases the required number of chargers, in comparison with the nonfuzzy algorithms by up to 59.6% in multiduty-cycled and 34.4% in fixed duty-cycled scenarios, in the best cases.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2019.2903221","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62193144","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 use of multiple transducers at both transmitter and receiver increases the spatial diversity of the system, and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) solves the problem of limited bandwidth due to its high spectral efficiency. Thus, the combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and OFDM shifts the UWA communication to a whole new level; however, at the same time, it also increases the design challenges for the development of such systems. Intersymbol interference, intercarrier interference, and cochannel interference are introduced in the received signal by the extended multipath and Doppler shifts along with different types of noises due to the noisy acoustic channel. Therefore, many channel estimation and equalization schemes are developed for the UWA MIMO-OFDM communication systems. In this paper, these schemes are thoroughly reviewed, summarized, categorized, and compared with other similar algorithms in terms of complexity and performance while pointing out the prevailing research problems.Résumé—La communication acoustique sous-marine à haute vitesse (ASM) est un défi en raison de la bande passante limitée, de la propagation multi-trajets étendue, de l’effet Doppler grave et de la perte importante de transmission. L’utilisation de plusieurs transducteurs à la fois émetteur et récepteur augmente la diversité spatiale du système, et le multiplexage par répartition orthogonale de la fréquence (MROF) résout le problème de la bande passante limitée en raison de son efficacité spectrale élevée. Ainsi, la combinaison de multi-entrées multi-sorties (MEMS) et MROF déplace la communication ASM à un tout autre niveau; Cependant, dans le même temps, cela augmente également les défis de conception pour le développement de tels systèmes. Les interférences intersymboles, interférences entre porteuses et le brouillage dans le même canal (cochannel) sont introduits dans le signal reçu par les décalages étendus sur trajets multiples et Doppler, ainsi que par différents types de bruits dus au canal acoustique bruyant. Par conséquent, de nombreux schémas d’estimation et d’égalisation de canal sont développés pour les systèmes de communication ASM MEMS-MROF. Dans cet article, ces schémas sont examinés, résumés, classés et comparés à d’autres algorithmes similaires en termes de complexité et de performances, tout en soulignant les problèmes de recherche courants.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2019.2897587","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48787374","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}

Different factors, such as line length, mode of operation on the power plant side, and short-circuit capacity, are considered. It is possible for lines shorter than 60 km to eliminate the closing resistor, determined by calculating the probability of flashover. We analyzed the phase selection closing in depth to inhibit the switching overvoltage and considered the factors such as phase deviation and the length of the line. Finally, the applicability of phase selection closing is put forward for lines of different lengths.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2019.2906670","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41929269","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}

Temperature estimation serves as a basis for motor protection. Developing accurate and real-time temperature calculation algorithms is critical for thermal and overload protection for induction motors. Vibration monitoring is a widely used approach for induction motors’ fault diagnosis. Vibration signals are usually analyzed by time-, frequency-, or time–frequency-domain signal processing methods. Recent advancement of fault diagnosis by machine learning makes intelligent approaches feasible. Although decades of efforts have been put on condition monitoring of regular induction motors, electrical submersible motors operating in a very unique downhole environment in the oil industry have not received much attention. Currently, electrical submersible motors rely on downhole monitoring tools to transmit temperature and vibration data measured by sensors from downhole to the surface; however, such data are transmitted at a slow rate, and there are no fault diagnosis algorithms in place. An advanced condition monitoring and fault diagnosis method for electrical submersible motors is needed in the near future. In this paper, a literature review is conducted on temperature estimation and vibration monitoring techniques for induction motors, the state-of-the-art methods are summarized, and their potential application in electrical submersible motors are recommended.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2018.2875111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47184272","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}

Numerous efforts have been introduced to mitigate this problem. Some commonly used approaches are deploying some metaheuristic (MH) algorithm to track the multiple-peak $P - V$ curve of partially shaded PV system. Cuckoo search (CS) is a new optimization algorithm based on the MH approach. It has been used to solve an optimization problem in many applications, including the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) problem. The CS algorithm performs well in tracking the global maximum power point (GMPP). However, just like any other MH algorithm, there is still a dilemmatic trading between their accuracy and the tracking time needed to find GMPP. This paper proposes a new MPPT algorithm by combining the CS algorithm with golden section search (GSS) to take beneficial features from both the algorithms. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is evaluated with various cases of partial shading. The simulation and experimental results show a noticeable performance improvement compared with the original CS algorithm and other MH algorithms.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2019-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2019.2914723","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44620810","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}
