Abstract: The decision on the investment project is to analyze the feasibility and rationality of the project plan from multiple angles. However, due to the limitations of the actual project investment decision-making, this paper proposes a group decision making method based multifunctional intuitively fuzzy VIKOR interval sets. Firstly, according to the established investment decision-making model, the first round of preliminary candidate project schemes is selected. According to the definition of interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the traditional VIKOR method, established the research method of this article, and the project investment decision-making model based on VIKOR interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets is established. …Finally, the project schemes are sorted according to the closeness degree of schemes. The results show that when sorting each candidate by Qi value, A4 > A3 > A2 > A1 can be obtained. Because Q4 = 0, Q3 = 0.31, the condition q3-q4 > 0.25 is satisfied. It is concluded that the method can not only meet the needs of actual decision-making, but also has strong operability and practicability. The research results have reference value and guiding significance for project investment decision-making, and can promote the sustainable development of the project. Show more

Abstract: Impedance mismatching between different phases of a multiphase transformer is generally observed e.g., in a three-phase to seven-phase transformer, due to an unequal number of turns in different coils. This mismatching introduces error in the study of per phase equivalent circuit diagrams as well as induces an imbalance in output voltages and currents. Therefore, it is a challenging task to develop a per-phase equivalent circuit for the secondary and primary sides (In some cases) too. This paper proposes an artificial intelligence optimization technique like PSO based modeling of the per-phase equivalent circuit of the secondary side. This paper deals with …the modeling and simulation of a three-phase to seven-phase power transformer using Artificial Intelligence technique like particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed model is optimized through PSO and GA algorithms and tested for minimum voltage error in each phase. The proposed model is designed and the objective function is optimized by PSO & GA in MATLAB environment. It is found that the optimized model can be effectively implemented as a per-phase equivalent circuit for the secondary side. Show more

Abstract: Semi-supervised clustering technique partitions the unlabeled data based on prior knowledge of labeled data. Most of the semi-supervised clustering algorithms exist only for the clustering of complete data, i.e., the data sets with no missing features. In this paper, an effort has been made to check the effectiveness of semi-supervised clustering when applied to incomplete data sets. The novelty of this approach is that it considers the missing features along with available knowledge (labels) of the data set. The linear interpolation imputation technique initially imputes the missing features of the data set, thus completing the data set. A semi-supervised clustering …is now employed on this complete data set, and missing features are regularly updated within the clustering process. In the proposed work, the labeled percentage range used is 30, 40, 50, and 60% of the total data. Data is further altered by arbitrarily eliminating certain features of its components, which makes the data incomplete with partial labeling. The proposed algorithm utilizes both labeled and unlabeled data, along with certain missing values in the data. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using three performance indices, namely the misclassification rate, random index metric, and error rate. Despite the additional missing features, the proposed algorithm has been successfully implemented on real data sets and showed better/competing results than well-known standard semi-supervised clustering methods.

Abstract: In this paper, two accurate hybrid islanding detection schemes are proposed based on Wavelet Transform and Stockwell transform (S-transform). The proposed methods use the potential of sequence voltage (negative) retrieved at the target Distributed Generation (DG) location of the distribution network under study. In one of the schemes, Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to process the negative sequence voltage signal and for its decomposition, which is further used to extract six statistical features like energy, entropy, mean, kurtosis, standard deviation, and skewness from the reconstructed DWT coefficients. Test and train data sets are generated with the wide variation of …loading conditions, and optimal features are chosen from the full feature set by forward feature selection method (FFS) during the training process by an artificial neural network (ANN). After that, the trained system is tested to get the detection result. Another scheme presented in this paper for islanding detection is based on S-transform, which is used to decompose the negative sequence voltage signal. Amplitude, frequency, and phase are the three coefficients acquired from the pre-processing of the raw signal by S-transform. Then the cumulative sums of the energy content of the S-transform coefficients are determined and are compared with a threshold value to get the detection result. The proposed schemes are tested in a distribution network consisting of two 9 MW wind farm driven by six 1.5 MW wind turbine connected to 120 kV main grid through a 25 kV, 30 km feeder. Several cases have been investigated like normal condition, islanding, DG line trip, disconnection of point of common coupling, and sudden change in load to test the performance of the proposed schemes. It can be observed from the results that both the approaches gave high accuracy in the detection of islanding conditions and demarcates properly from the non-islanding state. However, results show that the S-transform based approach provides a better resolution and quick detection of islanding than the wavelet transform approach. Show more

Abstract: A Maximum Power Tracking Technique (MPPT) for Photovoltaic Powered e-Vehicles via Black Widow Optimization Technique is introduced. The proposed system addresses the problems of conventional MPPT methods via a black widow spider-inspired optimization approach. As a result, the design would require fewer iterations to achieve prime conditions, thus increasing the complete efficiency of the proposed system. Field-oriented control (FOC) is used for speed control of the BLDC engine (e-vehicle). The proposed model was first designed, and then simulated in MATLAB environment. The simulink results run in parallel with the Typhoon HIL 402 setup. The results obtained the superior performance of …the BWO-based MPPT technique. Details of the modeling of a new MPPT used for PV-driven BLDC-based e-vehicles are also discussed in this paper. There are many factors involved in a real situation for poor efficiencies, such as shade, irregular sunlight, and weather conditions, which show the non-linear characteristics of PV. The MPPT approach discussed in this article may be used to increase overall productivity and minimize costs for the operation of e-vehicles based on the PV framework. Show more

Abstract: Due to its clean and abundant availability, solar energy is popular as a source to generate electricity. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight incident on the solar PV panel or array directly into non-linear DC electricity. However, the non-linear nature of the solar panels’ power needs to be tracked for its efficient utilization. The problem of non-linearity becomes more prominent when the solar PV array is shaded, even leading to high power losses and concentrated heating in some areas (hotspot condition) of the PV array. Bypass diodes used to eliminate the shading effect cause multiple peaks of power on the …power versus voltage (P-V) curve and make the tracking problem quite complex. Conventional algorithms to track the optimal power point cannot search the complete P-V curve and often become trapped in local optima. More recently, metaheuristic algorithms have been employed for maximum power point tracking. Being stochastic, these algorithms explore the complete search area, thereby eliminating any chance of becoming trapped stuck in local optima. This paper proposes a hybridized version of two metaheuristic algorithms, Radial Movement Optimization and teaching-learning based optimization (RMOTLBO). The algorithm has been discussed in detail and applied to multiple shading patterns in a solar PV generation system. It successfully tracks the maximum power point (MPP) in a lesser amount of time and lesser fluctuations. Show more

Abstract: The most installed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in micro-grids (MG) are Photovoltaic (PV) power and wind power. Due to the intermittent behaviour of renewable sources, parallel operation of RES and battery storage known as hybrid system is important particularly in remote micro-grids to reduce the fuel consumption by diesel generators and continuity of supply to the load. In this paper, multilevel inverter called Packed E-Cell (PEC) is used for parallel operation of RES and battery storage optimally for micro-grid applications. The PEC requires less components compared to other Multi-level inverters (MLI) topology with relatively low total harmonic distortion (THD). Further, …selective harmonic technique based on optimization principle is used to enhance the harmonic profile using low frequency switching technique. The 3rd and 5th harmonics are eliminated using Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization technique. The simulation-based analysis is done using Simulink/MATLAB and the results obtained for THD in the output current and voltage are presented and discussed in the paper. A comparative analysis is also presented with high frequency modulation technique phase disposition pulse width modulation (PDPWM) technique. The experimental validation of the proposed scheme is done using Typhoon HIL (hardware in loop). Show more

Abstract: PMU can directly measure positive sequence voltage, phase and system frequency. In this paper, the design and implementation for optimum placement of PMU in power system network (PSN) has been performed using 5 different intelligent approaches at an emulation platform. Different case studies based on IEEE 7, 14 and 30 bus system have been performed and analyzed. In the studies, PMU device is used for the measurement of voltage and current magnitude as well as its phase and its performance has been compared with measured real signals of PSN. PMU measurement gives the accurate results and reliability to PSN. But …PMUs are not economical, so PSN operator needs to install a minimum number of PMU in PSN so that system should be fully observable in a real-time scenario. In this paper for optimal placement of PMU, five different intelligent methods have been analyzed for three different bus systems and obtained results are compared. For the further validation of selected PMUs for the PSN, a state estimation using WLS algorithm has been performed using conventional data and PMU data on IEEE14 and IEEE30 bus systems. The obtained results for voltage estimation error and phase estimation error with and without PMU data are compared. Show more

Abstract: Nowadays, Biometric systems are prevalent for personal recognition. But due to pandemic COVID 19, it is difficult to pursue a touch-based biometric system. To encourage a touchless biometric system, a less constrained multimodal personal identification system using palmprint and dorsal hand vein is presented. Hand based Touchless recognition system gives a higher user-friendly system and avoids the spread of coronavirus. A method using Convolution Neural Networks(CNN) to extract discriminative features from the data samples is proposed. A pre-trained function PCANeT is used in the experiments to show the performance of the system in fusion scheme. This method doesn’t require keeping …the palm in a specific position or at a certain distance like most other papers. Different patches of ROI are used at two different layers of CNN. Fusion of palmprint and dorsal hand vein is done for final result matching. Both Feature level and score level fusion methods are compared. Results shows the accuracy of upto 98.55% and 98.86% and Equal error rate (EER) of upto 1.22% and 0.93% for score level fusion and feature level fusion, respectively. Our method gives higher accurate results in a less constrained environment. Show more

Abstract: Under partial shading conditions (PSC), most traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques may not adopt GP (global peak). These strategies also often take a considerable amount of time to reach a full power point (MPP). Such obstacles can be eliminated by the use of metaheuristic strategies. This paper shows, in partial shading conditions, the MPPT technique for the photovoltaic system using the Bat Algorithm (BA). Simulations have been performed in the MATLAB® /Simulink setting to verify the efficacy of the proposed method. In MPPT applications, the results of the simulations emphasize the precision of the proposed technique. The algorithm …is also simple and efficient, on a low-cost microcontroller, it could be implemented. Hardware in Loop (HIL) validation is performed, with a Typhoon HIL 402 setup. Show more

Abstract: Online condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are crucial for the safe operation of equipments. This paper highlights an unsupervised statistical algorithm based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the predictive maintenance of industrial induced draft (ID) fan. The high vibration issues in ID fans cause the failure of the impellers and, sometimes, the complete breakdown of the fan-motor system. The condition monitoring system of the equipment should be reliable and avoid such a sudden breakdown or faults in the equipment. The proposed technique predicts the fault of the ID fan-motor system, being applicable for other rotating industrial equipment, and also …for which the failure data, or historical data, is not available. The major problem in the industry is the monitoring of each and every machinery individually. To avoid this problem, three identical ID fans are monitored together using the proposed technique. This helps in the prediction of the faulty part and also the time left for the complete breakdown of the fan-motor system. This helps in forecasting the maintenance schedule for the equipment before breakdown. From the results, it is observed that the PCA-based technique is a good fit for early fault detection and getting alarmed under fault condition as compared with the conventional methods, including signal trend and fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis.

Abstract: Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN) includes numerous sensor nodes that collect data about target objects and transmit to sink nodes (SN). During data transmission among nodes, intrusion detection is carried to improve data security and privacy. Intrusion detection system (IDS) examines the network for intrusions based on user activities. Several works have been done in the field of intrusion detection and different measures are carried out to increase data security from the issues related to black hole, Sybil attack, Worm hole, identity replication attack and etc. In various existing approaches, secure data transmission is not achieved, therefore resulted in compromising …the security and privacy of IWSNs. Accurate intrusion detection is still challenging task in terms of improving security and intrusion detection rate. In order to improve intrusion detection rate (IDR) with minimum time, generalized Frechet Hyperbolic Deep and Dirichlet Secured (FHD-DS) data communication model is introduced. At first, Frechet Hyperbolic Deep Traffic (FHDT) feature extraction method is designed to extract more relevant network activities and inherent traffic features. With the help of extracted features, anomalous or normal data is predicted. Followed by Statistical Dirichlet Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection model is applied to discover intrusion. Here, Dirichlet distribution is evaluated to attain secure data transmission and significantly detect intrusions in WSNs. Experimental evaluation is carried out with KDD cup 99 dataset on factors such as IDR, intrusion detection time (IDT) and data delivery rate (DDR). The observed results show that the generalized FHD-DS data communication method achieves higher IDR with minimum time. Show more

Abstract: The rapid advancements in the technology, increase in comfort levels, movement of population to urban areas, depletion of fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions have invigorated the use of renewable energy resources for power generation in the last few years. The major renewable energy resources which have potential to fulfill the requirements includes solar energy, wind energy, small hydro and biomass etc. Among these major resources, solar energy-based technology is considered as one of the fastest growing technology because of its various advantages and ubiquitous availability of the resources. However, there are certain challenges in the utilization of solar …energy for power generation because of various uncertainties in the atmosphere. As a result, the power generated from solar based power plants is fluctuating in nature which is not desirable. Therefore, the utilities are adopting the smart grid approach which has ability to integrate the solar power plants efficiently and the solar energy forecasting is one of the essential tools for this new model. In this paper, AI based techniques are utilized to forecast solar energy using high quality measured solar irradiance data. The forecasting accuracy of the developed models is evaluated based on statistical indices such as absolute relative error and mean absolute percentage error.

Abstract: Single biometric modalities like facial features and vein patterns despite being reliable characteristics show limitations that restrict them from offering high performance and robustness. Multimodal biometric systems have gained interest due to their ability to overcome the inherent limitations of the underlying single biometric modalities and generally have been shown to improve the overall performance for identification and recognition purposes. This paper proposes highly accurate and robust multimodal biometric identification as well as recognition systems based on fusion of face and finger vein modalities. The feature extraction for both face and finger vein is carried out by exploiting deep convolutional …neural networks. The fusion process involves combining the extracted relevant features from the two modalities at score level.

Abstract: With the increase in the amount of data available today, the responsibility of keeping that data safe has also taken a more severe form. To prevent confidential data from getting in the hands of an attacker, some measures need to be taken. Here comes the need for an effective system, which can classify the traffic as an attack or normal. Intrusion Detection Systems can do this work with perfection. Many machine learning algorithms are used to develop efficient IDS. These IDS provide remarkable results. However, ensemble-based IDS using voting have been seen to outperform individual approaches (Support Vector Machine and …ExtraTree). Since the Voting methodology is able to work around both, theoretically similar and different classifiers and produce a single classifier based on the majority characteristics, it proved to be better than the other ensemble based techniques. In this paper, an ensemble IDS implementation is presented based on the voting ensemble method, using the two algorithms, Support Vector Machine (SVC) and ExtraTree. The experiment is performed on the KDDCup99 Dataset. The evaluation of the performance of the proposed method is based on the comparison with an unoptimized implementation of the same. The results based on performing the experiment in Python fetched an accuracy of 99.90%. Show more

Abstract: Arrhythmia is an abnormality often encountered in patients with cardiac problems. The presence of arrhythmia can be detected by an electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Automatic observation based on machine learning has been developed for long time. Unfortunately, only few of them have capability of explaining the knowledge inside themselves. Thus, transparency is important to improve human understanding of knowledge. To achieve this goal, a method based on cascaded transparent classifier is proposed. Firstly, ECG signals were separated and every single signal was extracted using feature extraction method. Several of extracted feature’s attributes were selected, and the final step was classifying data …using cascade classifier which consists of decision tree and the rule based classifier. Classification performance was evaluated with publicly available dataset, the MIT-BIH Physionet Dataset. The methods were tested using 10-fold cross validation. The average of both accuracy and number of rules generated was considered. The best result using rule-based classifier achieves the accuracy and the number of rules 92.40% and 40, respectively. And the best result using cascade classifier achieves the accuracy and the number of rules 92.84% and 80, respectively. As a conclusion, transparent classifier shows a competitive performance with reasonable accuracy compared with previous research and promising in addressing the need for interpretability model.

Abstract: Detection of the rotor position is an important prerequisite for controlling the speed and developed torque in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Even though use of incremental encoder and resolver is one of the popular schemes for sensing the rotor position in a PMSM drive, it increases the size and weight of the drive and reduces its reliability. Dynamic modeling of the motor and control algorithms are often used in sensor-less control of PMSM to estimate rotor position and motor speed. Most sensor-less control algorithms use machine parameters like torque constant, stator inductances and stator resistance for estimating the rotor …position and speed. However, with accuracy of such estimation and the performance of the motor degrades with variation in motor parameters. Model reference adaptive control (MRAC) provides a simple solution to this issue. An improved Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based MRAC observer for speed control of PMSM drive is presented in this paper. In the proposed method adaptive model and adaptive mechanism are replaced by an improved ANFIS controller, which neutralize the effect of parametric variation and results in improved performance of the drive. The modeling equations of PMSM are used to estimate the rotor position for speed and torque control of the drive. Simulation studies have been carried out under various operating condition using MATLAB/Simulink. In addition, a comparative analysis of the conventional MRAC based observer and improved ANFIS based MRAC observer is carried out. It is observed that the proposed method results in better performance of the PMSM drive. Show more

Abstract: In this paper, the authors have addressed the modeling and design of the BLDC Motor-Driven E-Rickshaw based on hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for optimum power management using fuzzy logic. In Hybrid energy sources, solar power is used to charge a battery (primary source) that is effectively coupled to supercapacitor (ancillary source) for peak demand supplies.

Projected power layering improves the battery life cycle with the proper use of the Supercapacitor. By providing a new switching algorithm, the …DC link voltage is boosted to effectively transfer power to the HESS unit. Fuzzy logic-based HESS provides better performance in electric vehicles, such as deep discharge protection of the battery, and faster acceleration.

Abstract: The electric load forecasting (ELF) is a key area of the modern power system (MPS) applications and also for the virtual power plant (VPP) analysis. The ELF is most prominent for the distinct applications of MPS and VPP such as real-time analysis of energy storage system, distributed energy resources, demand side management and electric vehicles etc. To manage the real-time challenges and map the stable power demand, in different time steps, the ELF is evaluated in yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly, etc. basis. In this study, an intelligent load predictor which is able to forecast the electric load for …next month or day or hour is proposed. The proposed approach is a hybrid model combining empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and neural network (NN) for multi-step ahead load forecasting.

Abstract: Retrieving out the most comparable images from huge databases is the challenging task for image retrieval systems. So, there is a great need of constructing a capable and rigorous image retrieval system. In this implementation, an exclusive and competent Content based image retrieval (CBIR) system is schemed by the integration of Color moment (CM) and Local binary pattern (LBP). A hybrid feature vector is created by the combination of these two techniques through the process of normalization. This hybrid feature vector is given as the input to the intelligent classifiers i.e. Support vector machine (SVM) and Cascade forward back propagation …neural network (CFBPNN). After that, Relevance feedback (RF) technique is applied so as to get the high level information in order to reduce the semantic gap. So, here two Artificial Intelligent CBIR models are proposed, first one is (Hybrid+SVM+RF) and second is (Hybrid+CFBPNN+RF) and their performance parameters are compared. The implementations are performed on two benchmark dataset Corel-1K and Oxford flower dataset which contains 1000 and 1360 images respectively. Different parameters are figured such as accuracy, precision, average retrieval time, recall etc. The average precision obtained for the first model is 93% with Corel 1K database and 91% with Oxford flower database. And similarly for the second model, it is 97% and 94% respectively which is higher than the first model. This implemented technique is validated on both the datasets and the attained results outperforms with other related s approaches. Show more

Abstract: Generally, the process industry is affected by unwanted fluctuations in control loops arising due to external interference, components with inherent nonlinearities or aggressively tuned controllers. These oscillations lead to production of substandard products and thus affect the overall profitability of a plant. Hence, timely detection of oscillations is desired for ensuring safety and profitability of the plant. In order to achieve this, a control loop oscillation detection and quantification algorithm using Prony method of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter design and deep neural network (DNN) has been presented in this work. Denominator polynomial coefficients of the obtained IIR filter using …Prony method were used as the feature vector for DNN. Further, DNN is used to confirm the existence of oscillations in the process control loop data. Furthermore, amplitude and frequency of oscillations are also estimated with the help of cross-correlation values, computed between the original signal and estimated error signal. Experimental results confirm that the presented algorithm is capable of detecting the presence of single or multiple oscillations in the control loop data. The proposed algorithm is also able to estimate the frequency and amplitude of detected oscillations with high accuracy. The Proposed method is also compared with support vector machine (SVM) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based approach and it is found that proposed method is faster and more accurate than the later.

Abstract: It is the need of today’s world, to deliver with quality health care services to meet the health needs of target populations. The healthcare system includes procedures of prevention and screening of all types of diseases, their treatment and diagnostics, recent research and development. These procedures must be maintained at a desired level of excellence, which comes under quality management. Quality management in healthcare incorporates with making of various quality policies, quality planning and assurance, quality control and quality improvement. Quality improvement (QI) is the scheme used for betterment of the services delivered to the patients, such as diagnosis and …treatment. If these schemes are recent and advanced technology based, services provided would be cost effective, accurate, less time consuming and hassle-free for both healthcare provider as well as patients. In this study we are applying artificial intelligent and machine learning techniques to enhance the diagnosis accuracy of the liver fibrosis which is caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV). Generally, the SLBs (serial liver biopsies) are utilized to diagnose the liver fibrosis levels (LFLs), which is the gold standard method in this domain. However, SLB has various impediment and not appropriate to the patients which leads to higher prognosis cost with invasive way. So, there is a big research gap in the medical field to find out the alternative non-invasive approach/method for SLB. The proposed data-driven intelligent model for identification of liver fibrosis using hybrid approach is designed and implemented to overcome the SLBs problems with higher diagnostic accuracy. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) approach is used to extract the IMFs (intrinsic mode functions), which are used as input features to the ANN-J48 algorithm based intelligent classifiers. The proposed approach shows the evidence for utilization in a non-invasive way to diagnose the LFLs without high level clinical expert skills. Show more

Abstract: A convolution neural network (CNN) based deep learning method has been proposed for automatic classification and localization of nonlinear loads present in an interconnected power system. The identification of nonlinear loads has been previously dealt with the use of Nonlinear Auto Regression neural network with eXogenous inputs (NARX), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL). However, these techniques had not explored the area of classification of industrial and domestic nonlinear loads in an interconnected power system. Also, a Deep learning-based solution for identification of the type of nonlinear load has not …been reported in the literature to date. Hence, to address these shortcomings, an IEEE-9 Bus system with industrial nonlinear loads has been used to obtain various current waveforms with distortions. The recorded current waveforms are transformed into a time-frequency (TF) domain plane, and the obtained images are then fed to the deep learning algorithm. The colored images of the TF plots of each type of nonlinear load in Red-Green-Blue (RGB) index provide the best visual features for extraction. The TF domain signatures of individual events are scaled to a standard size before feeding to the algorithm. Through these TF signatures, unique features were extracted with the deep learning algorithm, and then passed on to different stages of convolution and max-pooling with fully connected layers. The softmax classifier at the end classifies the input data into the type of nonlinear present in the power system. The algorithm, when run at different buses, also identifies the location of the nonlinear load. The proposed methodology avoids the usage of any additional fusion layer for obtaining unique features, reduces the training time and maintains the highest accuracy of 100%. Show more

Abstract:  Penetration of renewable energy resources into grid is necessary to meet the elevated demand of electricity. In view of this penetration of solar and wind power increasing immensely across the globe. Solar energy is widely expanding in terms of generation and capacity addition due its better predictability over wind energy. Electricity pricing is one of the important aspects for power system planning and it felicitates information for the electricity bidder for accurate electricity generation and resource allocation. The important task is to forecast the electricity price accurately in grid interactive environment. This task is tedious in renewable integrated market due …to intermittency issue. In this paper, investigation has been done on the effect of solar energy generation on electricity price forecasting. Different state of the art Machine learning (ML) models have been applied and compared with LSTM model for electricity price forecasting and the evaluation of the impact of solar energy generation on electricity price has been done. During the investigation it was found from the results that the LSTM model outperform all other models and impact of solar energy generation on electricity price is evaluated using forecasting metrics. The forecasted electricity price considering the factor of solar energy generation was lower as compared with the forecast without solar energy generation. The reliability test of the MAPE values has been performed by calculating confidence interval for proposed model. Show more

Abstract:  Opportunistic IoT networks operate in an intermittent, mobile communication topology, employing peer-to-peer transmission hops on a store-carry-forward basis. Such a network suffers from intermittent connectivity, lack of end-to-end route definition, resource constraints and uncertainties arising from a dynamic topology, given the mobility of participating nodes. Machine learning is an instrumental tool for learning and many histories-based machine learning paradigms like MLPROPH, KNNR and GMMR have been proposed for digital transformations in the field with varying degrees of success. This paper explores the dynamic topology with a plethora of characteristics guiding the node interactions, and consequently, the routing decisions. Further, the …study ascertains the need for better representation of the versatility of node characteristics that guide their behavior. The proposed scheme Opportunistic Fuzzy Clustering Routing (OFCR) protocol employs a three-tiered intelligent fuzzy clustering-based paradigm that allows representation of multiple properties of a single entity and the degree of association of the entity with each property group that it is represented by. Such quantification of the extent of association allows OFCR a proper representation of multiple node characteristics, allowing a better judgement for message routing decisions based on these characteristics. OFCR performed 33.77%, 6.07%, 3.69%, 6.88% and 78.14% better than KNNR, GMMR, CAML, MLPRoPH and HBPR respectively across Message Delivery probability. OFCR, not only shows improved performance from the compared protocols but also shows relatively more consistency across the change in simulation time, message TTL and message generation interval across performance metrics.

Abstract: Maintaining the reliable, efficient, secure and multifunctional IEC 61850 based substation is an extremely challenging task, especially in the ever-evolving cyberattacks domain. This challenge is also exacerbated with expending the modern power system (MPS) to meet the demand along with growing availability of hacking tools in the hacker community. Few of the most serious threats in the substation automation system (SAS) are DoS (Denial of Services), MS (Message Suppression) and DM (Data Manipulation) attacks, where DoS is due to flood bogus frames. In MS, hacker inject the GOOSE sequence (sqNum) and GOOSE status (stNum) number. In the DM attacks, attacker …modify current measurements reported by the merging units, inject modified boolean value of circuit breaker and replay a previously valid message. In this paper, an intelligent cyberattacks identification approach in IEC 61850 based SAS using PSVM (proximal support vector machine) is proposed. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated using experimental dataset of recorded signatures. The obtained results of the demonstrated study shows the effectiveness and high level of acceptability for real side implementation to protect the SAS from the cyberattacks in different scenarios.
