One of the Internet’s fastest-growing technologies is cloud computing, which needs each user to share various resources and virtual computers to access the services they demand. The difficulty is in allocating the user’s tasks among the many resources at hand while maintaining a balanced workload. In this work, we present the design of a new scheduling approach for cloud virtual machines in order to process events (related to resource overuse or underuse). This reduces the amount of effort consumed while maintaining the required performance levels in the cloud data center. To evaluate the effectiveness of the approach with real load paths, we conducted an experiment using the open-source cloud computing platform OpenNebula. Full article

In the last few years, there has been considerable growth in in-wheel electric motors manufacturing and the number of electric buses operating around the world. As a result of this clear increase, competition between electric bus manufacturers is increasing to reach the best satisfaction and comfort for passengers. This paper aims to deliver significantly better results due to suspension system. This paper also aims to evaluate an active bus suspension system with an in-wheel electric motor and to show the effect of this motor on the performance of the bus’s suspension system. In this work, a quarter bus suspension system is simulated and modelled using Matlab software, in addition to using one of the well-known control technologies, which is the linear quadratic regulator (LQR). The results showed that the weight of the electric motors in the bus’s wheels had a slightly negative effect on passenger comfort, as the reason for this effect is because the electric motor increased the mass of the wheel.

The purpose of safety analysis is to ensure that hazards and risks that could be a possible source of harm and damage are reduced well enough by dealing with all phases of the safety lifecycle and design of suitable safety barriers. It is known that any error or failure to perform the function of each proposed safety barrier can cause extreme damage to the environment, facilities and humans, and even loss of life. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the study or analysis. However, even with the major development in control system fields the problems of uncertainties, classification and optimization are still considered unsolved issues. In recent years several tools are developed based on artificial intelligence to deal with such difficulties. In this work, an approach based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is developed to schedule the SIL values of the safety integrity functions (SIF) of an industrial-fired heater. The SIFs are first deduced from HAZOP study for the fired heater. The SIL risk of the consequences related to personnel health and safety, the economic SIL and environment SIL are considered as inputs of the multilayer network with a predefined hard limit activation function.

Fuzzy logic is the most effective mathematical solution that has been presented in the last few years to deal with the problems in which imprecise and uncertain data exist. It can be defined as a generalization of classical binary logic, which admits only two logical states, true or false, by adding degrees of truth between the extreme values. Its basics were initiated by Lotfi Zadeh in the mid-1960s. However, in the last few years, a question was raised by different authors: yes, by using a fuzzy set or membership functions we can solve the problem of some kinds of uncertainties, but what is the situation in cases where the uncertainties exist in the membership function itself? To handle this situation, researchers introduce type 2 fuzzy logic. In our paper, we will introduce the design of a type 2 fuzzy logic controller to control the level in a FESTO process workstation. The mathematical model is first deduced, and after that the controller is designed. The simulation results show that the obtained controller gives very good transient characteristics for the system response work. Full article

This paper describes the modeling and control of a high-power wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a variable speed doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with the application of an MPPT method to obtain the maximum power from the system. We applied metaheuristic algorithms such as particle swarm optimization algorithms (PSO), Harris hawk optimization (HHO), and salp swarm algorithm (SSA) to optimize the speed sensor. The simulation results indicated that the MPPT method with the proposed optimized sensor could generate optimum rotor speed to achieve maximum power output. The simulation was developed using Matlab/Simulink. Full article

The Optimized Multiple Inputs and Multiple Outputs Sliding Mode controller (MIMO-SMC) is intended to control the reconfigurable UAV, which can take on a variety of configurations while maintaining the efficiency of a conventional quadrotor in terms of hovering and precision handling. The Ant Colony optimization algorithm is used to calculate controller gains and to ensure optimal performance, such as small errors and lower energy consumption. The control goal is to allow the proposed UAV to track its trajectory for various configurations in the face of uncertain parameters to impose the position, altitude, and yaw angle while stabilizing its roll and pitch angles. Finally, simulation results are used to demonstrate the efficiency and performance of the proposed controller, and we calculate the energy consumption for each configuration. Full article

The activation of the safety-instrumented systems in industrial processes is carried out after the occurrence of specific deviations (dangerous situations) from normal operation (normal situations), but in some cases, the safety-instrumented systems are activated in the absence of deviations or requests; these are the unwanted activations. The system chosen in this study is a system with high-pressure gas and inflammable gas, and it is protected by a firefighting system that prevents any kind of accident in order to protect humans, systems, and the environment. The activation of the emergency shutdown system causes stoppage of the whole system by closing the input and output valves. This paper presents the optimization of the voting redundancies of safety-instrumented systems by a multiobjective genetic algorithm. The objectives to optimize are the average probability of dangerous failure on demand, which represents the system safety integrity, and the spurious trip rate, which presents the activation of a safety function without the presence of a demand.

Forecasting wind speed using only one single model may not be satisfactory; however, the combination of several models may provide better results, especially in case of doubt about the best estimator (predicator). In this paper, we propose a short-term forecasting system in order predict the hourly averaged wind speed (HAWS) in the region of Adrar, Algeria. The proposed system is based on adaptive combination of two different models. The first model is an ARMA-based model, while the second model is an artificial neural network ANN-based model. To allow adaptive combination, models are associated to time varying coefficients that are updated recursively using the recursive least square algorithm (RLS). Numerical simulations have shown that for few hours in advance, the prediction error of the combined system is lower or at least equal to the best estimator. Full article

The successful transfer toward green renewable energy depends heavily on good, reliable Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Lithium-ion batteries are the preferred choice for many applications; however, they need careful management, especially an accurate State-Of-Charge (SOC) estimation. Hence, in this paper an overview of some SOC estimation methods is briefly described; then, an automated battery cell test system prototype that will enable further improvement is designed and implemented. Some tests are conducted on an aged lithium-ion cell and the obtained results are satisfactory and accurate with an error of around 0.5 × 10−3 (V or A), thus validating the proposed prototype.

We briefly present the modeling of this machine. We describe in more detail the control architecture based on indirect vector control by flux orientation (IFOC). This control architecture is optimized with the application of iterative stochastic algorithms applied to the speed controller. The optimization algorithms used were Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) and Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA).

The main objective of this paper is to solve state observation and external disturbances estimation for a class of second-order nonlinear systems. The proposed method relies mainly on the high gain observer as an estimator that tries to estimate the state vector and at the same time identifies the system’s unknown combined structured and unstructured uncertainties. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by estimating the flux and the speed of the induction motor by simulation. Full article

Power quality problems exist in every power system; the more advanced the system is, the higher the probability for issues to occur is, and the smart grid is no exception. In this paper, a study of a residential area is implemented using the LABVIEW simulation software, in which the power of each house with its own appliances is monitored in real time, meaning the power of the whole system is also monitored, including instantaneous and accumulative power, current, power factor—all elements required for system assessment. In addition, a billing policy of each individual house to see the total price to be paid for the power supplied is also devised. All these factors contribute to the analysis and overview of the effect of power quality problems on the grid, both electrically and economically. The results of the simulation indicate that the pricing policy proposed is indeed effective for both sides of the grid, the supplier and the consumer. Full article

A photovoltaic (PV) cell is generally used as renewable energy source. For an accurate study of various PV applications, modeling this basic device in a PV generator is essential. However, the manufacturers do not usually provide the model parameters and their values vary over time due to PV degradation and the change in weather conditions. Thus, finding an optimal technique for estimating the appropriate parameters is crucial. This problem can be solved by metaheuristic optimization algorithms, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO). However, early convergence is the main defect of PSO. This work presents an enhancement in the optimization method (PSO) for identifying the optimal parameters of a PV generating unit. In this method, the identification of parameters of the single diode model is based on an opposition-based initialization particle swarm optimization technique. The optimization algorithm is implemented in MATLAB which gives good results. Full article

This paper focuses on regulation of the parallel active power filter (APF) Dc Voltage bus by judicious choice of rule bases and intervals for each selected fuzzy variable of suitable fuzzy logic controller. In addition, an algorithm describes the main steps for designing an FLC that has any number of rules with direct application to the APF capacitor voltage regulation. Where their simulation, by MATLAB, applied to PV conversion chain network will be represented in the booths cases, constant and variable non-linear loads after modeling, to show the effectiveness of this kind of regulators on electrical power quality and improve the reliability of the APF on PV system. The delivered voltage of PV plant has been regulated and controlled with MPPT using P&O technique and FLC regulator after modeling of each part of the conversion chain. PV plant supplies a nonlinear load from the rectifier installed on the output of the conversion chain via a controlled power inverter. A 3 × 3 rules fuzzy regulator is implanted in the control part of the APF to examine the influence of the FLC on the produced electrical power quality. Simulation results are represented and analyzed. Full article
