Energy-Efficient Adaptive Bidirectional Transmission Strategy in Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT)-Enabled Cognitive Relay Network.

Introducing collaborative relay and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) techniques into a cognitive wireless network, named the SWIPT-enabled cognitive relay network (CRN), is considered a promising approach to deal with insufficiency and the low utilization of spectrum resources, as well as the node's energy-constrained issues in wireless networks. In this paper, to improve the network spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) of the SWIPT-enabled CRN, we design an energy-efficient adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy. To be specific, we first select an energy-constrained best relay node with the consideration of signal-to-noise ratio and global channel gain to achieve a better bidirectional relay transmission (BRT). At the same time, we let the energy-constrained best relay node transmit a signal with the SWIPT technique, which can solve the node's energy-constrained issue and improve the network EE. Then, with the selected energy-constrained best relay node, we design a total transmit power threshold (TTPT) determining algorithm to find the TTPT, which lets the total transmission rate of the BRT be equal to the bidirectional direct transmission (BDT). Based on this TTPT, we further design an adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy and let the network achieve adaptive transmission between the BRT and BDT to obtain a higher network SE. Furthermore, to further achieve the energy-efficient transmission of the adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy, we optimize the nodes' power under the requirement of primary users' interference threshold and obtain the analytical expressions of the optimal power. Simulation results show that the transmission rate, the outage probability, and the EE of the designed energy-efficient adaptive bidirectional transmission strategy in the SWIPT-enabled CRN are, respectively, 3.01, 0.07, and 3.10 times that of the non-collaborative transmission, which show the effectiveness of our designed transmission strategy.

It is not only crucial for the interests of power suppliers and market regulators but also plays a key role in ensuring the reliable and flexible operation of the power system, particularly during extreme weather events or abnormal conditions. This study develops a hybrid time series forecasting model that combines Prophet and Transformer, which takes advantage of deep learning to provide a new solution for electricity market price forecasting. By introducing the Stacking optimization strategy, this study improves the accuracy and stability of electricity market price sequence prediction. In addition, the study tries to integrate traditional time series forecasting methods (such as the Prophet model) with deep learning models (such as the Transformer model), aiming to make full use of their respective advantages to achieve more accurate and stable predictions. Through experimental evaluation on four electricity market data sets, this study finds that the hybrid forecast model exhibits significant performance improvements in enhancing the accuracy and stability of electricity market price predictions. This method not only provides a more accurate tool for power market price prediction, but also provides solid technical support for the efficient operation and sustainable development of smart renewable energy systems. Experimental results also show that the combination of deep learning models with traditional time series methods and the introduction of Stacking strategies is crucial to improving the performance of power market price prediction, and also helps us better understand and design smart renewable energy systems, price and energy management strategies, thereby providing an effective method for achieving efficient and reliable power and energy transmission.

Energy efficient and reliable data transmission in WBAN using multivariate gradient divergence African buffalo optimization

SummaryWireless body area network (WBAN), a popular radio communication technique, tracks patients' health conditions remotely using small, low‐power, portable sensors positioned on the body to sense vital signs and send data to a control node. To sustain long‐term health monitoring, WBANs require significant energy from the nodes. This research proposes an energy efficient and reliable data transmission using multivariate gradient divergence African buffalo optimization (EEMGDABO) to minimize the delay of critical node data transmission by identifying the optimal path to the control node. The protocol comprises two key processes: winsorized correlative segmented symbolic regression with reinforcement learning (WCS‐SRRL) and the walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA) for accurate priority‐based classification of health data (normal, abnormal, and critical). The second process involves transferring these priority‐based data with reduced energy consumption and delay while increasing throughput by determining the best path from the critical node to the destination (hospital/doctor) using EEMGDABO, which calculates node distance and energy fitness value. Implemented in MATLAB with a health monitoring WBAN dataset, the proposed protocol demonstrates 23% less energy consumption, 12.33% less delay, and 23.44% higher network lifetime compared to existing optimization approaches.

A dynamic migration route planning optimization strategy based on real-time energy state observation considering flexibility and energy efficiency of thermal power unit

New energy resources compromising intermittent and fluctuating natures have been integrated into the power grid on a large scale, and thermal power units are obliged to promote the depth of deep peak shaving and flexible response-ability to cope with this new scenario. The safety, flexibility, and high efficiency of coal-fired units are the ultimate goals of its transformation, and there is a mutual influence and mutual restriction relationship among these indicators. To exploit the flexibility of thermal power units, take into account efficiency and safety, and play a supporting role in the new power system, a control strategy that weighs various indicators needs to be developed. Based on heat flow model and dynamic state space model, and updated matrix in real time, the key process parameters affecting the flexibility of heat transfer can be fully characterized. By using the observed state and calculation, the load response index and the energy efficiency index are optimized under the boundary constraint. The results show that the multi-objective optimization methods can avoid over regulation, reduce the flue gas flow by 3.23%–3.59%, and reduce the fluctuation of state quantity under the premise of satisfying the load response rate, about 2.32%–2.52% away from the safety boundary of the design temperature parameter to achieve the flexibility of frequency modulation, high efficiency of energy transmission and operation safety.

High-Precision Bi-Directional Beam-Pointing Measurement Method Based on Space Solar Power Station System.

In the process of wireless energy transmission from a Space Solar Power Station (SSPS) to a satellite, the efficiency of energy transmission is closely related to the accuracy of beam control. The existing methods commonly ignore the impact of array position, structural deviation of the transmitting antenna, and modulation errors, which leads to the deviation error in actual energy transmission beams and the reduction of energy transmission efficiency. This paper innovatively proposes a high-precision bi-directional beam-pointing measurement method, which provides a technical basis for advancing the beam-pointing control accuracy from the perspective of improving the beam-pointing measurement accuracy. The method consists of (1) the interferometer goniometry method to realize high-precision guiding beam pointing measurement; and (2) the power field reconstruction method to realize offset angle measurement of the energy-transmitting beam. Simulation results demonstrate that under dynamic conditions, the guiding beam-pointing measurement accuracy of this method reaches 0.05°, which is better than the traditional 0.1° measurement accuracy based on the guiding beam. The measurement accuracy of the offset distance of the energy center is better than 0.11 m, and the measurement accuracy of the offset angle is better than 0.012°.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become essential in various fields, such as corporate industries, environmental monitoring, military defense, and healthcare, due to their ability to monitor and transmit data from remote locations. However, the battery-powered nature of WSN nodes necessitates a strong emphasis on energy conservation to extend network lifespan. This paper evaluates the impact of different Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols on WSN performance, focusing on energy efficiency and data transmission reliability. We explore various MAC protocols, including contention-based protocols like Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA), schedule-based protocols like Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and hybrid protocols that combine both approaches. The methodology integrates analytical modelling, empirical data collection, and expert interviews to comprehensively assess the performance and longevity of WSNs under different MAC protocols. Analytical models were developed to simulate WSN behavior, considering factors such as node density, traffic load, and energy consumption. Empirical data from real-world deployments and experimental setups were analyzed to validate the models and provide practical insights. Expert interviews further highlighted the challenges and considerations in MAC protocol design and implementation. This paper underscores the importance of context-specific MAC protocol selection and the potential of adaptive strategies, including machine learning, to enhance WSN efficiency and reliability. These insights can guide the development of more sustainable and high-performing WSN applications.

To progress communication and sensing in recent years, the Sixth-Generation (6G) network was developed. To transform the technological landscape of model transmission networks we use the 6G network, and it also used to enhance the speed, decrease the latency and improve the connectivity of network. Yet, in the 6G infrastructure with these developments it has severe challenge, that is the 6G network does not negate the benefits of energy consumption associated with network. In 6G communication the sensing performance of the smart device only relay on the available power of the network, and in the 6G communication energy efficiency becomes crucial. To progress the energy efficiency of data transmission in 6G communication networks, we deployed a Data Transmission Rate Allocation (DTRA) method. Moreover, to progress the data transmission of efficient nodes we deploy a Residual Energy Cluster Head (RECH) method. In addition, to improve the reliability and speed in the 6G network we use Dynamic Multipath Routing Protocol (DMRP) method, and it also mitigate the channel defects.

Energy Performance of LR-FHSS: Analysis and Evaluation.

Long-range frequency hopping spread spectrum (LR-FHSS) is a pivotal advancement in the LoRaWAN protocol that is designed to enhance the network's capacity and robustness, particularly in densely populated environments. Although energy consumption is paramount in LoRaWAN-based end devices, this is the first study in the literature, to our knowledge, that models the impact of this novel mechanism on energy consumption. In this article, we provide a comprehensive energy consumption analytical model of LR-FHSS, focusing on three critical metrics: average current consumption, battery lifetime, and energy efficiency of data transmission. The model is based on measurements performed on real hardware in a fully operational LR-FHSS network. While in our evaluation, LR-FHSS can show worse consumption figures than LoRa, we find that with optimal configuration, the battery lifetime of LR-FHSS end devices can reach 2.5 years for a 50 min notification period. For the most energy-efficient payload size, this lifespan can be extended to a theoretical maximum of up to 16 years with a one-day notification interval using a cell-coin battery.

An Energy Efficient Transmission Mechanism based on Optimal Relay Distance for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Abstract Due to the limited resources and energy of communication in underwater acoustic sensor network (UASN), there are many challenges in designing energy-efficient and reliable media access control (MAC) protocols for UASN. This paper proposes an energy-efficient media access control (MAC) protocol with dynamic transmission range control (TRC), referred to as TRA-MAC. The protocol provides an adaptive, multi-hop and energy-saving solution for underwater sensor network communication. The protocol dynamically adjusts the transmission power of the node according to the distance between the source node and the destination node, and has the ability to adapt to network conditions. Simulation results show that compared with Slotted Aloha, the proposed adaptive relay node selection mechanism increases the energy efficiency by 43.07%, the network throughput by 46.6%, and the end-to-end delay is greatly reduced. Compared with Slotted FAMA, it has more significant advantages.

Technology Selection of High-Voltage Offshore Substations Based on Artificial Intelligence

This paper proposes an automated approach to the technology selection of High-Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) Offshore Substations (OHVS) for the integration of Oil & Gas (O&G) production and Offshore Wind Farms (OWF) based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Due to the complex regulatory landscape and project diversity, this is enacted via a cost decision-model which was developed based on Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) and incorporated into an optioneering software named Transmission Optioneering Model (TOM). Equipped with an interactive dashboard, it uses detailed transmission and cost models, as well as a technological and commercial benchmarking of offshore projects to provide a standardized selection approach to OHVS design. By automating this process, the deployment of a technically sound and cost-effective connection in an interactive sandbox environment is streamlined. The decision-model takes as primary inputs the power rating requirements and the distance of the offshore target site and tests multiple voltage/rating configurations and associated costs. The output is then the most technically and economically efficient interconnection setup. Since the TOM process relies on equivalent models and on a broad range of different projects, it is manufacturer-agnostic and can be used for virtually any site as a method that ensures both energy transmission and economic efficiency.

The impact of energy (Electricity) losses on load capacity factor: A dynamic ARDL-based evidence from Pakistan

The energy-environment interplay has raised significant concerns among policymakers and experts, with the global shift towards renewable energy being hailed as a key solution to reduce pollution emissions. However, in addition to energy production, the efficient transmission and distribution of electricity is also important which also poses considerable challenges to environmental sustainability. This study aims to investigate the effect of electricity losses on environmental sustainability measured by load capacity factor (LCF). This study uses the DARDL (DARDL) method and Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) to analyze the influence of electricity losses, foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and industrial output on LCF in Pakistan from 1981 to 2022. The electricity losses significantly undermine environmental sustainability by reducing LCF. However, FDI positively influences LCF, but economic growth and industrial output exert a detrimental effect. Additionally, the study observes that both positive and negative counterfactual 10 % shocks in electricity losses result in negative and positive impacts on LCF. Whereas, 10 % positive counterfactual shocks in FDI positively affect LCF. KRLS analysis confirms the robustness of the DARDL estimates. The study underscores that efficient energy transmission and distribution is pivotal in safeguarding environmental sustainability.

A Novel Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for Industrial WSN Using Hybrid Coot-Ls Algorithm with LSTM-Based Dom Prediction

In industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), energy efficiency and reliable data transmission are critical challenges that need to be addressed to ensure sustainable and robust network operations. This paper proposes a novel energy-efficient routing protocol that integrates a Hybrid COOT-LS (Coot- Levy Search) algorithm with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based Dominant Object Motion (DOM) prediction. The routing protocol leverages the strengths of Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to enhance routing efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The Hybrid PSO and ACO algorithms are employed to optimize routing paths by balancing exploration and exploitation, considering multiple factors such as energy levels, node distance, and reliability. The COOT-LS algorithm further refines these paths by incorporating a Levy flight mechanism to enhance the search process. Additionally, the LSTM-based DOM prediction provides accurate forecasts of network conditions, enabling dynamic adjustments to routing strategies in real time. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol significantly improves network lifetime, reduces energy consumption, and enhances data transmission reliability compared to traditional routing protocols. This approach provides a robust and scalable solution for industrial WSN applications, ensuring efficient and reliable network performance in dynamic and complex industrial environments.

An Energy-Balance Clustering Routing Protocol for Intra-Body Wireless Nanosensor Networks

Aims and Background: Numerous sensor nodes spread out across the surveillance region form the Wireless-Sensor Network (WSN), a smart, self-organizing network. Since the lumps can typically only be motorized by batteries, creating a WSN while maintaining an optimal energy balance and extending the network's lifetime is the biggest issue. Methods: A novel network architecture that integrates nanotechnology with sensor networks is known as a Wireless-NanoSensor-Network(WNSN). A new area of focus in research is intra-bodyiWNSNs, which are WNSNs with promising potential applications in biomedicine, damage detection, and intra-body health monitoring. We suggest an energy-balance-clustering-routing protocol (EBCR) for iSN nodes that have limited energy storage, short communication range, and low computation and processing capabilities. The protocol uses a novel hierarchical clustering approach to lessen the communication burden on nano-nodes. Results: Cluster nano-nodes can use one-hop routing to send data directly to the Cluster-Head(CH) nodes, and the CH-nodes can utilize multi-hop routing to send data to the nano control node. In addition, selecting the next hop node to minimize energy usage while guaranteeing successful data packet delivery involves balancing distance and channel capacity. The protocol's strengths in energy efficiency, network-lifetime extension, and data-packet transmission success rate were highlighted by the simulation results. Conclusion: It is clear that the EBCR protocol is a viable option for iWNSNs' routing system.

Efficient fiber-inspection and certification method for optical-circuit-switched datacenter networks

Datacenter networks (DCNs) consisting of optical circuit switches (OCSs) have been considered as a promising solution to dramatically improve their transmission capacity, energy efficiency, and communication latency. To scale optical-circuit-switched DCNs (OCS DCNs), hierarchical OCSs with tens of thousands of optical fibers need to be installed, and they should be inspected before starting datacenter operations. Since traditional DCNs consist of electrical-packet switches (EPSs), the condition and cabling of fibers can be inspected easily by probing neighboring EPSs. However, OCS networks cannot be inspected in the same manner because OCSs cannot transmit and receive probe signals. Thus, we have had to attach and detach a light source and power meter (LSPM) to every switch for probing all the fibers, which takes weeks. This paper proposes an efficient method for inspecting and certifying fibers in an entire DCN without repeating LSPM reattachment. Our method is based on (1) theories on quickly estimating the fiber condition on the basis of the intensity of received probe signals, (2) the maximum allowable loss of each fiber derived from the transceiver budget used in operations, and (3) an algorithm that reduces the number of probes needed. The results from an extensive numerical evaluation indicate that our method inspected a DCN with 18,432 fibers in at most a day, whereas a baseline method involving repeated LSPM reattachment would take more than a week. We also confirmed that our method never produced false negatives and false positives under practical network conditions.

Development of an Imaging Spectrometer with a High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Based on High Energy Transmission Efficiency for Soil Organic Matter Detection.

Hyperspectral detection of the change rate of organic matter content in agricultural remote sensing requires a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, due to the large number and efficiency limitation of the components, it is difficult to improve the SNR. This study uses high-efficiency convex grating with a diffraction efficiency exceeding 50% across the 360-850 nm range, a back-illuminated Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) detector with a 95% efficiency in peak wavelength, and silver-coated mirrors to develop an imaging spectrometer for detecting soil organic matter (SOM). The designed system meets the spectral resolution of 10 nm in the 360-850 nm range and achieves a swath of 100 km and a spatial resolution of 100 m at an orbital height of 648.2 km. This study also uses the basic structure of Offner with fewer components in the design and sets the mirrors of the Offner structure to have the same sphere, which can achieve the rapid adjustment of the co-standard. This study performs a theoretical analysis of the developed Offner imaging spectrometer based on the classical Rowland circular structure, with a 21.8 mm slit length; simulates its capacity for suppressing the +2nd-order diffraction stray light with the filter; and analyzes the imaging quality after meeting the tolerance requirements, which is combined with the surface shape characteristics of the high-efficiency grating. After this test, the grating has a diffraction efficiency above 50%, and the silver-coated mirrors have a reflection value above 95% on average. Finally, the laboratory tests show that the SNR over the waveband exceeds 300 and reaches 800 at 550 nm, which is higher than some current instruments in orbit for soil observation. The proposed imaging spectrometer has a spectral resolution of 10 nm, and its modulation transfer function (MTF) is greater than 0.23 at the Nyquist frequency, making it suitable for remote sensing observation of SOM change rate. The manufacture of such a high-efficiency broadband grating and the development of the proposed instrument with high energy transmission efficiency can provide a feasible technical solution for observing faint targets with a high SNR.
