Abstract The challenging task of handwriting style synthesis requires capturing the individuality and diversity of human handwriting. The majority of currently available methods use either a generative adversarial network (GAN) or a recurrent neural network (RNN) to generate new handwriting styles. This is why these techniques frequently fall short of producing diverse and realistic text pictures, particularly for terms that are not commonly used. To resolve that, this research proposes a novel deep learning model that consists of a style encoder and a text generator to synthesize different handwriting styles. This network excels in generating conditional… More >

Abstract To solve the Laplacian problems, we adopt a meshless method with the multiquadric radial basis function (MQ-RBF) as a basis whose center is distributed inside a circle with a fictitious radius. A maximal projection technique is developed to identify the optimal shape factor and fictitious radius by minimizing a merit function. A sample function is interpolated by the MQ-RBF to provide a trial coefficient vector to compute the merit function. We can quickly determine the optimal values of the parameters within a preferred rage using the golden section search algorithm. The novel method provides the More >

Abstract The generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy is increasing continuously because it is renewable, unlimited, and clean energy. In the past, generation systems depended on non-renewable sources such as oil, coal, and gas. Therefore, this paper assesses the performance of a 51 kW PV solar power plant connected to a low-voltage grid to feed an administrative building in the 6th of October City, Egypt. The performance analysis of the considered grid-connected PV system is carried out using power system simulator for Engineering (PSS/E) software. Where the PSS/E program, monitors and uses the power analyzer that… More >

Abstract In the past few decades, although traditional computational methods such as finite element have been successfully used in many scientific and engineering fields, they still face several challenging problems such as expensive computational cost, low computational efficiency, and difficulty in mesh generation in the numerical simulation of wave propagation under infinite domain, large-scale-ratio structures, engineering inverse problems and moving boundary problems. This paper introduces a class of collocation discretization techniques based on physical-informed kernel function (PIKF) to efficiently solve the above-mentioned problems. The key issue in the physical-informed kernel function collocation methods (PIKFCMs) is to… More >

Abstract As a significant research interest in orbital mechanics, periodic orbits are fundamental for understanding orbital behaviors and space explorations. Although the harmonic balance (HB) method and its variants have been the most widely-used approaches for periodic dynamical systems, they are seldom applied to celestial dynamics. Here we use the reconstruction harmonic balance (RHB) method for solving periodic orbits. Starting from a presupposed Fourier form and an initial guess at the solution, the algorithm uses timedomain collocation points to optimally reconstruct the high-order HB procedure without complicated symbolic operations and non-physical solutions. Following a description of More >

Abstract The harmonic balance (HB) method is one of the most commonly used methods for solving periodic solutions of both weakly and strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. However, it is confined to low-order approximations due to complex symbolic operations. Many variants have been developed to improve the HB method, among which the time domain HB-like methods are regarded as crucial improvements because of their fast computation and simple derivation. So far, there are two problems remaining to be addressed. i) A dozen of different versions of HB-like methods, in frequency domain or time domain or in hybrid,… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves, where the shapes of the planar domains are similar. The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures. One domain we call source domain, and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces. The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not. In this algorithm, boundary control points of the source domain… More >

Abstract The power system is facing numerous issues when the distributed generation is added to the existing system. The existing power system has not been planned with flawless power quality control. These restrictions in the power transmission generation system are compensated by the use of devices such as the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) series/shunt compensators, etc. In this work, UPQC’s plan with the joint activity of photovoltaic (PV) exhibits is proposed. The proposed system is made out of series and shunt regulators and PV. A boost converter connects the DC… More >

Abstract This paper concentrates on compensating the power quality issues which have been increased in day-to-day life due to the enormous usage of loads with power electronic control. One such solution is compensating devices like Pension Protection Fund (PPF), Active power filter (APF), hybrid power filter (HPF), etc., which are used to overcome Power Quality (PQ) issues. The proposed method used here is an active compensator called unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) which is a combination of shunt and series type active filter connected via a common DC link. The primary objective is to investigate the… More >

Abstract In view of the problem of power quality degradation of port distribution network after the large-scale application of shore power load, a method of power quality management of port distribution network is proposed. Based on the objective function of the best power quality management effect and the smallest investment cost of the management device, the optimization model of power quality management in the distribution network after the large-scale application of large-capacity shore power is constructed. Based on the balance between the economic demand of distribution network resources optimization and power quality management capability, the power More >
