There is growing commitment to phase-out the conventional fossil-fuel based power stations to decentralized power generation with high share of renewable energy sources that is based on low-emission to meet the various techno-economic, environmental and secure energy requirements. This paradigm shift from conventional generators to the inverter-dominated DGs/RESs, has come with some technical challenges of […]
In recent decades, network security has become increasingly crucial, and intrusion detection systems play a critical role in securing it. An intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a mechanism that protects the network from various possible intrusions by analyzing network traffic. It provides confidentiality and ensures the integrity and availability of data. Intrusion detection is a […]
Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF) is the projection of system load demands for the next day or week. Because of its openness in modeling, simplicity of implementation, and improved performance, the ANN-based STLF model has gained traction. The neural model consists of weights whose optimal values are determined using various optimization approaches. This paper uses […]
In this article, asymmetrical modular multilevel converter (A-MMC) topology using mixed cell (SM) with DC-side fault blocking capability and the reduced component count is proposed. The mixed cell submodule is made up of a full-bridge (FB-SM) and a half-bridge (HB-SM) with asymmetric capacitor voltage based on geometric propagation (GP) ratio. Each mixed cell submodule can […]
Side-channel attacks are attacks against cryptographic devices that are based on information obtained by leakage into cryptographic algorithm hardware implementation rather than algorithm implementation. Power attacks are based on analyzing the power consumption of a corresponding input and obtaining access to this method. The power profile of the encryption circuit maintains an interaction with the […]
Load frequency control is an important factor of supplying quality electricity in an interconnected power system. As a result, an optimally tuned Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is proposed in this work to eliminate frequency errors caused by unexpected load changes while maintaining tie-line power exchange. The PID controller is tuned using several optimization techniques such as […]
In different medical applications, physical stimulation techniques are used to assist the treatment and improve the treatment conditions from different perspectives. They can accelerate the healing process and stimulate biological processes and healing mechanisms. In oral and maxillofacial reconstruction, one of the widely used physical stimulation techniques is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). LLLT is a […]
During peak demand hours, hydroelectric energy is one of the most significant sources of energy. Power sector restructuring has increased competition among the country’s electricity providers. Estimating the future price of energy is critical for producers in order to enhance investment profit and make better use of resources. One of the most significant technologies of […]
Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBDs) are self-sustaining electrical discharges in electrode configurations containing an insulating material in the discharge path. Dielectric barrier discharge is considered a new method to produce plasma, which is of interest to researchers in various fields. In this article, electrical breakdown and plasma formation with argon atmospheric pressure gas are simulated. To […]
