DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

fuel with air
• inside a combustion chamber
• The combustion triggers an expansion of the high-
temperature and high-pressure gases
• forcing some components of the engine (e.g. pistons, turbine
blades) to move
• All this process converts chemical into mechanical
energy

chamber is close to its minimum (maximum
compression)
• this is when sparks ignite the air-fuel mixture and
combustion starts

• Combustion
• most rotary engines have two spark plugs; as the
combustion chamber is very long, the flame would
propagate too slowly if there was just one plug
• when the spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture,
pressure quickly builds, forcing the rotor to move
(clockwise)

• Exhaust
• once the peak of the rotor passes the exhaust port,
the high-pressure combustion gases are free to flow
out, through the exhaust port
• as the rotor continues to move (clockwise), the
chamber shrinks, forcing the remaining exhaust
gases out

Fuel types
• ICEs can run on several types of fuels:
• Gasoline*
• Diesel*
• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)*
• Alcohol
• Natural gas*
• Hydrogen
• Biodiesel**
* Most common in Europe
** Commonly mixed with Diesel, in a low percentage

Fuel types – gasoline vs. Diesel
• Advantages of Diesel engines:
• Higher energy efficiency lower fuel consumption
• No spark ignition system (no spark plugs, no igniters, …)
• Longer lifetime (several hundreds of thousands km)
• Advantages of gasoline engines:
• Less acoustic noise and mechanical vibrations
• More elasticity (allows higher RPM)
• Lighter/smaller engine (less CC) for the same power
• No combustion chamber pre-heating system (no glow plugs, no
relays,…)

Mixture formation
• ICEs can be distinguished according to where the air/fuel
mixture is formed
• Indirect Injection (IDI) aka external injection
• Inside the combustion chamber
• Direct Injection (DI) aka Internal Injection
• Outside the combustion chamber
• This applies to both Compression Ignition (CI) and Spark
Ignition (SI) Engines

Mixture formation – CI engine
• In Compression Ignition engines
• Indirect Injection
• Injector sprays into a pre-chamber (aka swirl chamber)
• Glow-plug heats pre-chamber
• Direct Injection
• Injector sprays directly into combustion chamber
• Glow-plug heats combustion chamber

Cylinders configuration
• ICEs can be classified by their cylinders configuration
In-line V-shape
W-shape Radial
Opposed Horizontal
Wankel

Cylinders configuration
• In-line configuration
• most used, simple and inexpensive
• single engine block where cylinders are aligned
• main disadvantage (against other configurations) is requiring a
longer crankshaft

SistemasAutomóveis
Cylinders configuration
• V-shape configuration
• cylinders are disposed in two blocks, in a V shape
• the two blocks share a common crankshaft
• main advantage is having a shorter crankshaft for the same
number of cylinders (comparing to the in-line configuration)
• most used when the number of cylinders is ≥ 6

Cylinders configuration
• W-shape configuration
• similar to V-shape but has 3 blocks of cylinders
• This allows to have more cylinders with the same space
(comparing to other configurations), i.e. shorter crankshaft
• mostly used for 12-cylinder engines

Cylinders configuration
• Opposed-Horizontal configuration (aka boxer or flat)
• more balanced, because the movement of one piston is
compensated by the movement of the other moving in the
opposite direction
• allows a lower center of gravity for, improving driveability
• pistons movement is not affected by gravity (like in other
configurations)

Cylinders configuration
• Radial configuration
• pistons arranged in circle (around the crankshaft)
• typically 3-9 cylinders
• mostly used in airplanes

Cylinders configuration
• Wankel configuration
• Piston rotates (instead of linear movement, as in traditional
ICEs)
• Rarely used, due to inherent technical limitations (e.g. cooling,
lubricating)

Cylinders volume vs number
• Two approaches (for the same volume – CC):
• More cylinders of smaller capacity
• Less cylinders of larger capacity
• Pros of having more cylinders
• Better thermal efficiency
• Larger specific power (relation between the engine capacity and
power) augmenting the engine´s maximum regime
• Greater uniformity of engine torque
• Better balance of mass in motion, which results in lower engine
vibrations
• Cons of having more cylinders
• Larger crankshaft length, resulting in torsional vibration problems
• Increase in engine volume and weight
• Decrease in mechanical efficiency and thus in engine power

Cooling System
• Objectives
• Guarantee a suitable engine operating temperature
• cooling it down (after reaching a stationary regime)
• helping to warm it up (keep fluid inside engine, while cold)
• keep the physical and chemical proprieties of the lubricating oil
• can deteriorate upon overheating
• supply heat to acclimatize the interior of the vehicle
• Facts
• Most of the heat is dissipated through the exhaust
• leading to wasted energy, thus low energy efficiency
• Some heat is dissipated via lubricating oil (and oil cooler)
• fixed engine parts (e.g. block, head) are cooled by the main
cooling system
• moving parts (e.g. pistons, crankshaft, rods) are mostly cooled
by the lubricating oil
