Abstract To ensure frequency stability in power systems with high wind penetration, the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is often used with the frequency fast response control (FFRC) to participate in frequency response. However, a certain output power suppression amount (OPSA) is generated during frequency support, resulting in the frequency modulation (FM) capability of DFIG not being fully utilised, and the system’s unbalanced power will be increased during speed recovery, resulting in a second frequency drop (SFD) in the system. Firstly, the frequency response characteristics of the power system with DFIG containing FFRC are analysed. Then, based… More >

Abstract The design of the loading path is one of the important research contents of the tube hydroforming process. Optimization of loading paths using optimization algorithms has received attention due to the inefficiency of only finite element optimization. In this paper, the hydroforming process of 5A02 aluminum alloy variable diameter tube was as the research object. Fuzzy control was used to optimize the loading path, and the fuzzy rule base was established based on FEM. The minimum wall thickness and wall thickness reduction rate were determined as input membership functions, and the axial feeds variable value… More >

Abstract Infrared small target detection technology plays a pivotal role in critical military applications, including early warning systems and precision guidance for missiles and other defense mechanisms. Nevertheless, existing traditional methods face several significant challenges, including low background suppression ability, low detection rates, and high false alarm rates when identifying infrared small targets in complex environments. This paper proposes a novel infrared small target detection method based on a transformed Gaussian filter kernel and clustering approach. The method provides improved background suppression and detection accuracy compared to traditional techniques while maintaining simplicity and lower computational costs.… More >

Abstract In today’s world, image processing techniques play a crucial role in the prognosis and diagnosis of various diseases due to the development of several precise and accurate methods for medical images. Automated analysis of medical images is essential for doctors, as manual investigation often leads to inter-observer variability. This research aims to enhance healthcare by enabling the early detection of diabetic retinopathy through an efficient image processing framework. The proposed hybridized method combines Modified Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization (MIWPSO) and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM) algorithms. Traditional FCM does not incorporate spatial neighborhood features, making More >

Abstract Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, pigs, and sheep, hence causing export bans among others, causing high economic losses due to reduced productivity. The global effect of FMD is most felt where livestock rearing forms an important source of income. It is therefore important to understand the modes of transmission of FMD to control its spread and prevent its occurrence. This work intends to address these dynamics by including the efficacy of active migrant animals transporting the disease from one area to another in a fuzzy mathematical modeling… More >

Abstract The proper selection of a relevant mixer generally requires an effective assessment of several models against the application requirements. This is a complex task, as traditional evaluation methods generally focus only on a single aspect of performance, such as pressure loss, mixing characteristics, or heat transfer. This study assesses a urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system installed on a ship, where the installation space is limited and the distance between the urea aqueous solution injection position and the reactor is low; therefore, the static mixer installed in this pipeline has special performance requirements. In particular,… More >

Abstract With the increasing penetration of renewable energy in power system, renewable energy power ramp events (REPREs), dominated by wind power and photovoltaic power, pose significant threats to the secure and stable operation of power systems. This paper presents an early warning method for REPREs based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network and fuzzy logic. First, the warning levels of REPREs are defined by assessing the control costs of various power control measures. Then, the next 4-h power support capability of external grid is estimated by a tie line power prediction model, which is constructed based More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract To enhance the refinement of load decomposition in power systems and fully leverage seasonal change information to further improve prediction performance, this paper proposes a seasonal short-term load combination prediction model based on modal decomposition and a feature-fusion multi-algorithm hybrid neural network model. Specifically, the characteristics of load components are analyzed for different seasons, and the corresponding models are established. First, the improved complete ensemble empirical modal decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) method is employed to decompose the system load for all four seasons, and the new sequence is obtained through reconstruction based on the… More >

Abstract A robust scheduling optimization method for wind–fire storage system distribution based on the mixed carbon trading mechanism is proposed to improve the rationality of carbon emission quota allocation while reducing the instability of large-scale wind power access systems. A hybrid carbon trading mechanism that combines short-term and long-term carbon trading is constructed, and a fuzzy set based on Wasserstein measurement is proposed to address the uncertainty of wind power access. Moreover, a robust scheduling optimization method for wind–fire storage systems is formed. Results of the multi scenario comparative analysis of practical cases show that the More >

Abstract The security of the wireless sensor network-Internet of Things (WSN-IoT) network is more challenging due to its randomness and self-organized nature. Intrusion detection is one of the key methodologies utilized to ensure the security of the network. Conventional intrusion detection mechanisms have issues such as higher misclassification rates, increased model complexity, insignificant feature extraction, increased training time, increased run time complexity, computation overhead, failure to identify new attacks, increased energy consumption, and a variety of other factors that limit the performance of the intrusion system model. In this research a security framework for WSN-IoT, through… More >
