Risk Mitigation & Profit Improvement of a Wind-Fuel Cell Hybrid System With TCSC Placement

The incorporation of renewable energy into the existing electrical system is vital in a competitive electrical system. The unpredictable nature of renewable sources is the main obstacle to energy source integration. Since wind energy is unpredictable, integrating it into an existing thermal system requires some additional operating procedures to maintain the economic and functioning sustainability of the system. In a competitive power network, renewable energy uncertainty creates an imbalance cost (IC) which directly affects the system economy. This study investigates system generation costs, voltage profiles, and electric losses in a deregulated power market incorporating wind farms (WF) & fuel cells (FC). The fuel cell has been used here as a reserve generating unit to mitigate the deficit of power in the renewable incorporated system. To check the efficacy of the presented method, two locations in India are chosen at random. To assess the imbalance cost caused by the discrepancy between forecasted (FWS) and actual wind speeds (AWS), several charge rates (i.e. surplus and deficit) were established. The electrical system has been restructured, so consumers are continually looking for efficient and stable economic power which is only possible by reducing the system risk. This paper outlines a strategy for the optimal operation of a Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and fuel cell in a wind-integrated system to maximize system profit and minimize the system risk. In this work, different algorithms like Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms (ABC), and Moth Flame Optimization Algorithms (MFO) are used to analyze the economic and functional risk of the system. Additionally, it explains how the fuel cell system is employed to offset the wind farm integration’s deviation in the real-time power market. Value-at-Risk (VaR) and conditional Value-at-Risk (cVaR) have been used for risk analysis. A modified IEEE 14-bus test system is considered to validate the entire study whereas any small, large as well as hybrid systems can be considered to perform this methodology.

Improved Method for Enhanced Quality of Service in IoHT Task Dependency Optimization

Keeping a proper level of task dependency throughout the scheduling process is critical to achieving the aim of decreasing the make-span rate in Internet of Health Things (IoHT) projects. We provide a smart model strategy for effective task scheduling in the IoHT environment for e-healthcare systems by merging hybrid moth flame optimisation (HMFO) with cloud computing. The HMFO algorithm guarantees that all available resources are distributed evenly, resulting in improved quality of service (QoS). We study the Google cluster dataset to learn about the scheduling behaviours of cloud-based jobs in order to train our model. After training, an HMFO model may be used to plan activities in real time. To assess the success of our strategy, we run simulations in the CloudSim environment, taking into account crucial parameters such as resource utilisation, reaction time, and energy consumption. According to a comparative analysis, our hybrid HMFO system surpasses the alternatives in terms of reaction time, average run duration, and cost savings. Our method has proven to be effective due to the favourable effects it has had on response rates, prices, and run times. Combining IoT and cloud computing has the potential to improve healthcare delivery in a variety of ways. One unique strategy we offer for scheduling IOHT jobs is to combine a deep neural network (DNN) algorithm with the MFO technique. Job scheduling in electronic healthcare systems can be optimised with the help of our hybrid MFO-DNN algorithm by taking into account a variety of different objectives, the most important of which are lowering response times while improving resource utilisation and maintaining consistent load balances. The MFO approach searches the search space and provides early solutions, while the DNN algorithm refines and improves those first findings. In comprehensive simulations conducted in a real-world hospital setting, the hybrid MFO-DNN technique outperformed existing scheduling algorithms in terms of reaction time, resource utilisation, and load balancing. The simulated healthcare environments were as true to life as was feasible. The suggested technique has been demonstrated to be both dependable and scalable, making it appropriate for use in large-scale IOHT deployments. This study considerably enhances the state of the art in IOHT task scheduling in E healthcare systems by developing a hybrid optimisation technique that takes advantage of the strengths of both MFO and DNN. The findings indicate that this strategy has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery, which helps patients receive care that is both effective and timely.

SMOGN, MFO, and XGBoost Based Excitation Current Prediction Model for Synchronous Machine

The power factor is the ratio between the active and apparent power, and it is available to determine the operational capability of the intended circuit or the parts. The excitation current of the synchronous motor is an essential parameter required for adjusting the power factor because it determines whether the motor is under the optimal operating status. Although the excitation current should predict with the experimental devices, such a method is unsuitable for online real-time prediction. The artificial intelligence algorithm can compensate for the defect of conventional measurement methods requiring the measuring devices and the model optimization is compared during the research process. In this article, the load current, power factor, and power factor errors available in the existing dataset are used as the input parameters for training the proposed artificial intelligence algorithms to select the optimal algorithm according to the training result, for this algorithm to have higher accuracy. The SMOGN (Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique for Regression with Gaussian Noise) is selected for the research by which the data and the MFO (Moth-flame optimization algorithm) are created for the model to adjust and optimize the parameters automatically. In addition to enhancing the prediction accuracy for the excitation current, the automatic parameter adjusting method also allows the researchers not specializing in the professional algorithm to apply such application method more efficiently. The final result indicated that the prediction accuracy has reached “Mean Absolute Error (MAE) = 0.0057, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) = 0.0093 and R² score = 0.9973”. Applying this method to the motor control would be much easier for the power factor adjustment in the future because it allows the motor to operate under the optimal power status to reduce energy consumption while enhancing working efficiency.

A novel optimization of hybrid feature selection algorithms for image classification technique using RBFNN and MFO

A brain tumor develops when abnormal cells in brain tissue multiply uncontrollably. For radiologists, finding and categorizing tumors manually has become a demanding and time-consuming task. When radiologists or other clinical professionals need to extract an infected tumor area from an MR picture, they have to go through a lengthy and laborious process. To improve performance and simplify the segmentation process, we investigate the FCM-predicted picture segmentation techniques in this study. In addition, classifiers for automating the detection and reclassification of encephalon tumors receive input consisting of critical information obtained from each segmented tissue. We have assessed, verified, and demonstrated the experimental efficacy of the proposed method. The purpose of this research was to develop a novel MFO (Moth-Flame Optimization) based LLRBFNN model for the automatic detection and classification of benign and malignant brain tumors. In order to alleviate the burden of manually detecting encephalon cancers from MR images, the suggested LLRBFNN model parameters are improved via MFO training. The Modified FCM method removes outlying nodes from the LLRBFNN model, and the MFO algorithm keeps the current of node centres in the aforementioned model. The proposed MFO-LLRBFNN model was evaluated alongside the Decision Tree and the Random Forest. To prove the reliability of this model, an MFO-based LLWNN (Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network) model for autonomously detecting brain cancers was presented. We extracted features from MR images using the MFCM (modified fuzzy C-Means) segmentation algorithm and the GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) technique.

Oral cancer is considered one of the most common cancer types in several counties. Earlier-stage identification is essential for better prognosis, treatment, and survival. To enhance precision medicine, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and deep learning (DL) models can be developed for automated oral cancer classification to improve detection rate and decrease cancer-specific mortality. This article focuses on the design of an optimal Inception-Deep Convolution Neural Network for Oral Potentially Malignant Disorder Detection (OIDCNN-OPMDD) technique in the IoMT environment. The presented OIDCNN-OPMDD technique mainly concentrates on identifying and classifying oral cancer by using an IoMT device-based data collection process. In this study, the feature extraction and classification process are performed using the IDCNN model, which integrates the Inception module with DCNN. To enhance the classification performance of the IDCNN model, the moth flame optimization (MFO) technique can be employed. The experimental results of the OIDCNN-OPMDD technique are investigated, and the results are inspected under specific measures. The experimental outcome pointed out the enhanced performance of the OIDCNN-OPMDD model over other DL models.

Efficient target monitoring with fault‐tolerant connectivity in wireless sensor networks

AbstractSensing coverage with fault‐tolerant connectivity is considered as a recent research challenge, which measures the Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless sensor networks. QoS is determined based on the set of deployed sensor nodes that monitor all available discrete targets lying at the given point of interest and at the same time have to retain reliable connectivity with the base station. In this article, we focus on two phases namely, monitoring targets in the given sensing area by splitting the sensor network into set covers, which is considered as a nondeterministic polynomial‐time complete problem and optimal deployment of intelligent nodes. At first, achieving full coverage with deployed sensors by covering all discrete targets to prolong the network lifetime. On the other hand, a novel S2 (sensors‐spine) node approach was used to place an optimal number of intelligent nodes using a nature‐inspired algorithm named moth flame optimization to overcome the fault among the disjoints sets such that the entire network was fully connected and ensure that sensed data from each target points are collected by the sink node. To evaluate our proposed design, extensive simulations were conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed mechanism that outperforms other existing techniques found in the literature in terms of prolonged network lifetime and there is no failure in the transmission path during data transmission to the sink node at every t s, such that the entire network was fully connected.

Using Four Metaheuristic Algorithms to Reduce Supplier Disruption Risk in a Mathematical Inventory Model for Supplying Spare Parts

Due to the unexpected breakdowns that can happen in various components of a production system, failure to reach production targets and interruptions in the process of production are not surprising. Since this issue remains for manufactured products, this halting results in the loss of profitability or demand. In this study, to address a number of challenges associated with the management of crucial spare parts inventory, a mathematical model is suggested for the determination of the optimal quantity of orders, in the case of an unpredicted supplier failure. Hence, a production system that has various types of equipment with crucial components is assumed, in which the crucial components are substituted with spare parts in the event of a breakdown. This study’s inventory model was developed for crucial spare parts based on the Markov chain process model for the case of supplier disruption. Moreover, for optimum ordering policies, re-ordering points, and cost values of the system, four metaheuristic algorithms were utilized that include Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Moth–Flame Optimization (MFO) Algorithm, and Differential Evolution (DE) Algorithm. Based on the results, reliable suppliers cannot meet all of the demands; therefore, we should sometimes count on unreliable suppliers to reduce unmet demand.

The growth of the “Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)” allows for the collection and processing of data in healthcare systems. At the same time, it is challenging to study the requirements of public health prevention. Here, mask-wearing is considered an efficient preventive measure for avoiding virus transfer. Hence, it is necessary to implement an automated mask identification model to prevent public epidemics. The main scope of the proposed method is to design a face mask detection model with IoT using a “Single Shot Multi-box Detector (SSD)” and a hybrid deep learning method.

Mathematical formulation and an improved moth–flame optimization algorithm for parallel two-sided disassembly line balancing based on fixed common stations

Abstract Nowadays, rapid product iterations result in large quantities of end-of-life products. To meet the fast-growing demand for remanufacturing engineering, companies have quickened the standardization and industrialization of waste dissembling. Two-sided disassembly lines can effectively disassemble large-sized products on both sides of the lines, and parallel disassembly lines can disassemble multiple products simultaneously with fewer workstations and higher production efficiency. Combining the two types of disassembly can effectively increase the disassembly efficiency of large-sized products. However, the parallel two-sided disassembly line has not been fully investigated because of the essential complexity of the problem. Therefore, this research introduced the parallel two-sided disassembly line balancing problem with fixed common stations. First, a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model is established to solve the problem for the first time. The model is proved to be correct through small-scale numerical examples. Second, a multi-objective improved moth–flame optimization algorithm is implemented to solve the proposed large-scale problems. The proposed algorithm employs a two-phase decoding approach to design the scheme and a discrete moth for fire operation to search and replace new individuals, and then a restart strategy is introduced to reduce the probability of the population falling into a local optimum. Finally, the algorithm solved extensive disassembly line balancing problems with different layouts, including the straight-line, two-sided, and parallel two-sided, and case studies demonstrated the reliability and validity of the proposed method.

System Profit Improvement of a Thermal–Wind–CAES Hybrid System Considering Imbalance Cost in the Electricity Market

Studying a renewable energy integrated power system’s features is essential, especially for deregulated systems. The unpredictability of renewable sources is the main barrier to integrating renewable energy-producing units with the current electrical grid. Due to its unpredictable nature, integrating wind power into an existing power system requires significant consideration. In a deregulated electricity market, this paper examines the implications of wind farm (WF) integration with CAES on electric losses, voltage profile, generation costs, and system economics. Comparative research was done to determine the impact of wind farm integration on regulated and deregulated environments. Four randomly chosen locations in India were chosen for this investigation, together with real-time information on each location’s real wind speed (RWS) and predicted wind speed (PWS). Surplus charge rates and deficit charge rates were created to assess the imbalance cost arising from the discrepancy between predicted and real wind speeds to calculate the system economics. When the effect of imbalance cost is considered, the daily system profit shows a variation of about 1.9% for the locations under study. Customers are always seeking electricity that is dependable, affordable, and efficient due to the reorganization of the power system. As a result, the system security limit could be exceeded or the system might function dangerously. The final section of this paper presents an economic risk analysis using heuristic algorithms such as sequential quadratic programming (SQP), artificial bee colony algorithms (ABC), and moth flame optimization algorithms (MFO). It also discusses how the CAES is used to correct the deviation of WF integration in the real-time electricity market. Economic risk analysis tools include value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR). The entire piece of work was validated using a modified IEEE 30-bus test system. This works shows that with a three-fold increase in wind generation, the risk coefficient values improves by 1%.

IEGQO-AOA: Information-Exchanged Gaussian Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm with Quasi-opposition learning

Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is a math optimizer proposed to solve optimization challenges. Its capability to find the global solution comes from the behavior of four arithmetic operators: multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. Local minima stagnation and sluggish convergence are the major concerns of AOA. To handle these issues, three effective modifications are proposed. Information exchange is introduced among the search agents first. Then, promising solutions around the best and current solutions are visited by a plausible way based on the Gaussian distribution. Finally, quasi-opposition of the best solution is obtained to have a higher chance of approaching the global solution. The proposed approach is named as Information-Exchanged Gaussian AOA with Quasi-Opposition learning (IEGQO-AOA). 23 standard benchmark functions, 10 CEC2020 test functions and 1 real-life engineering design problem are solved by the proposed IEGQO-AOA and its competing peers such as the original and modified versions of AOA, dwarf mongoose optimization, reptile search algorithm, aquila optimizer, bat algorithm, sine cosine algorithm, original and enhanced version of salp swarm algorithm, dragonfly search algorithm, LSHADE-EpSin, stochastic fractal search, improved jaya and moth-flame optimization, perturbed stochastic fractal search and nelder-mead simplex orthogonal learning moth-flame optimization algorithm. Comparative results based on the statistical tests ratify the potential of IEGQO-AOA in solving problems concerning accuracy and convergence without compromising on the algorithm’s simplicity much.

Mutational Chemotaxis Motion Driven Moth-Flame Optimizer for Engineering Applications

Moth-flame optimization is a typical meta-heuristic algorithm, but it has the shortcomings of low-optimization accuracy and a high risk of falling into local optima. Therefore, this paper proposes an enhanced moth-flame optimization algorithm named HMCMMFO, which combines the mechanisms of hybrid mutation and chemotaxis motion, where the hybrid-mutation mechanism can enhance population diversity and reduce the risk of stagnation. In contrast, chemotaxis-motion strategy can better utilize the local-search space to explore more potential solutions further; thus, it improves the optimization accuracy of the algorithm. In this paper, the effectiveness of the above strategies is verified from various perspectives based on IEEE CEC2017 functions, such as analyzing the balance and diversity of the improved algorithm, and testing the optimization differences between advanced algorithms. The experimental results show that the improved moth-flame optimization algorithm can jump out of the local-optimal space and improve optimization accuracy. Moreover, the algorithm achieves good results in solving five engineering-design problems and proves its ability to deal with constrained problems effectively.
