Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is one of the essential controller operations of any Photo-Voltaic (PV) cell design. Developing an efficient MPPT system includes a significant challenge as there are various forms of uncertainty factors that results in higher degree of fluctuation in current and voltage in PV cell. After reviewing existing system, it has been found that there is no presence of any benchmarked model to ensure a better form of computational model. Hence, this paper presents a novel and very simple design of MPPT without using any form of complex design mechanism nor including any form of frequently used iterative approach. The proposed model is completely focused on developing an algorithm that takes the input of voltage (open circuit), current (short circuit), and max power in order to obtain the peak power to be extracted from the PV cells. The study outcome shows faster response time and better form of analysis of current-voltage-power for given state of PV cells.

Every technique of MPPT control is evaluated based on its ability to detect multiple maxima, efficiency of the output solar power, cost and way of implementation, rate of convergence etc. the Perturbation and Observation technique and Incremental conductance Technique are widely used in MPPT control due to their advantages.
Several algorithms have been offered to track the Maximum Power Point when we have one maximum power point. Moreover, fuzzy control and neural was utilized to track the Maximum Power Point when we have multi-peaks power points. In this paper, we will propose an improved Maximum Power Point tracking method for the photovoltaic system utilizing a modified PSO algorithm.

In this paper, the artificial neural network (ANN) has been utilized for rotating machinery faults detection and classification. First, experiments were performed to measure the lateral vibration signals of laboratory test rigs for rotor-disk-blade when the blades are defective.

Second, the ANN was applied to classify the different x- and y-axis lateral vibrations due to different blade faults. The results based on training and testing with different data samples of the fault types indicate that the ANN is robust and can effectively identify and distinguish different blade faults caused by lateral vibrations in a rotor. As compared to the literature, the present paper presents a novel work of identifying and classifying various rotating blade faults commonly encountered in rotating machines using ANN.

Solar energy is naturally available from sun, and it can be extracted by using a photovoltaic (PV) cell. However, solar energy extraction entirely depends on the climatic conditions and angle of rays falling on PV cells. Hence, maximum powerpoint tracking (MPPT) is considered in most areas under variable climatic conditions, which acts as a controller unit for PV cells. MPPT can enhance the efficiency of PV cells. However, designing an MPPT model is challenging as different uncertainties in the climatic condition may lead to more fluctuations in voltage and current in PV cells. Under the shaded condition, the PV cell may have other MPPT points that lead to the PV cell’s low efficiency in analyzing maximum power. Hence, this paper introduces a cost-effective and optimized system for the PV model that can find optimal power and improve PV cells’ efficiency. The proposed system achieves better computational performance with ~35% and ~42% than existing MPPT techniques. The improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) is smoother due to the enhanced form of MPP tracking. Hence, improved PSO takes 0.038 sec while the existing PSO technique takes 0.045 sec to obtain the MPP tracking.

Solar energy performs an important role in electric energy based on renewable energy generation systems when referring to

DC/DC boost converter's duty cycle to ensure that the PV system operates close to its MPP under varying environmental conditions. The
effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in the off-grid PV system under conditions of the change of irradiation and temperature,
and the comparison of between the proposed method, the incremental conductance (INC), perturb and observe (P&O), and modified P&O
methods is also made. The obtained simulation results show that the MPPT capability significantly improved and achieved the highest
MPPT efficiency of 99.999% and an average efficiency of 99.98% in total when applying the proposed method.

With the growing demand for renewable energy, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have gained popularity as a reliable source of clean electricity. However, the performance of these systems can be limited by factors such as suboptimal maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms. In order to improve the power generation efficiency of PV systems, it is important to evaluate the performance of dynamic MPPT algorithms that can adapt to varying operating conditions. Traditionally, such evaluations have been time consuming and expensive, often requiring extensive testing and measurement equipment. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to evaluate dynamic MPPT performance very quickly and simply using PSIM software. This approach enables accurate and efficient evaluation of MPPT performance under a wide range of operating conditions, while minimizing the cost and time involved in traditional testing methods. When applying the proposed method to a 3.7 kW inverter using the traditional perturbation and observation (P and O) method, we found that the highest average efficiency was 98.92% at an MPPT control period of 0.1s and a voltage perturbation of 1 V. This evaluation technique provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of more efficient MPPT control algorithms, leading to improved power generation efficiency and increased adoption of solar PV systems.

This paper is aimed at addressing the design of an effective adaptive nonlinear control of a photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system powering a submersible induction motor and a centrifugal water pump. Four objectives are achieved using an adaptive Backstepping controller. First, it is applied to ensure maximum power point tracking, and uses the latter as a reference in regulation of the rotor speed to convert the maximum electrical power into maximum mechanical power. Second, the adaptive controller is synthesized to control motor rotor flux and restrict the magnetic circuit to its linear interval. Third, it is used to online estimate the rotor time-constant and the load torque disturbance estimation. Finally, this controller is employed to limit the stator currents to protect induction motor windings. Mathematical modelling of the main elements of the system is presented. A sliding mode rotor flux estimator is employed in the output feedback control of the whole system. DC-AC converter is controlled by pulse width modulation. The feasibility, the robustness and the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive nonlinear controller are evaluated through simulations in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Resulting in a nearby waveform, sine wave and an out of phase angle to the grid voltage because the system is in the inverter mode, and the harmonic spectrum of the grid currently has total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced as an indication of the proposed system can be developed and applications.
This paper presents a maximum power point (MPP) tracking method based on a hybrid combination between the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and the conventional Perturb-and-Observe (P&O) method. The proposed algorithm utilizes the FLC to initialize P&O algorithm with an initial duty cycle. MATLAB/Simulink models consisting of, the photovoltaic system, boost converter and controllers, are built to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. To accurately illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, comparisons with standalone FLC and P&O are carried out. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated difficult weather conditions including sudden changes and partial shading. The results showed that the proposed algorithm successfully reaches MPP in all scenarios.

In a photovoltaic system, a stable voltage and of tolerable power equilibrium is needed. Hence, a dedicated analog charge controller for a storage system which controls energy flow to impose power equilibrium, and therefore, voltage stability on the load is required. We demonstrate here our successful design considerations employing supercapacitors as main energy storage as well as a buffer in a standalone photovoltaic system, incorporating a dedicated supercapacitor charge controller for the first time. Firstly, we demonstrated a photovoltaic system employing supercapacitors as main energy storage as well as a buffer in a standalone photovoltaic system. Secondly, we design a constant voltage maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for peak power extraction from the photovoltaic generator. Thirdly, we incorporated a supercapacitor charge controller for power equilibrium and voltage stability through a dedicated analog charge controller in our design, the first of its kind. Fourthly, we analyzed the use of supercapacitor storage to mitigate disequilibrium between power supply and demands, which, in turn, causes overvoltage or under voltage across the load. Lastly, we then went ahead to demonstrate the control of the energy flow in the system so as to maintain rated voltage across a variant demand load.
A Feasible MPPT Algorithm for the DC/DC Boost Converter: An Applied Case for ...phthanh04
One of the most promising forms of renewable energy is solar energy. However, efficient exploitation of this energy form is a
topic of great interest, especially in obtaining the maximum amount of power from the solar photovoltaic (PV) system under changing
environmental conditions. To solve this problem, it is necessary to propose an optimal algorithm. Therefore, this paper presents a feasible
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for DC/DC boost converters applied in load-connected stand-alone PV systems
to extract the maximum available power. This proposed method is based on the combination of the modified perturb and observe
(P&O) and fractional open circuit voltage (FOCV) algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified via time-domain
simulation of the load-connected stand-alone PV system using PSIM software. The simulation results show a tracking efficiency with
an average value of 99.85%, 99.87%, and 99.96% for tracking the MPP under varying loads, irradiation, and simultaneously varying
temperature, load, and irradiation, respectively. In addition, tracking time is always stable at 0.02 sec for changing weather conditions in
the large range. Therefore, the results of the proposed method indicate advantages compared to the conventional method.

This paper investigates an improved current predictive model control (PCMC) strategy with a prediction horizon of one sampling time for voltage regulation in standalone system based on diesel engine driven fixed speed synchronous generator. An adaptive PR controller with anti-windup scheme is employed to achieve high performance regulation without saturation issues. In addition, new method to obtain the optimal parameters of the adaptive PR controller to achieve high performance during the transition and in steady state, is provided. Furthermore, to balance the power at the point of common coupling (PCC), as well as, to fulfilling a clean power to the connected loads, a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with LRC filter is controlled using the developed improved PCMC strategy. The output filter current is controlled using the predicting of the system behaviour model in the future step, at each sampling prediction time. The performances of the developed control strategy are verified using Matlab/Simulink interface.
The purpose of this article is to extract the maximum power point at which the photovoltaic system can operate optimally. The system considered is simulated under different irradiations (between 200 W/m2 and 1000 W/m2), it mainly includes the established models of solar PV and MPPT module, a DC/DC boost converter and a DC/AC converter. The most common MPPT techniques that will be studied are: "Perturbation and Observation" (P&O) method, "Incremental Conductance" (INC) method, and "Fuzzy Logic" (FL) control. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink are analyzed and compared to evaluate the performance of each of the three techniques.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.

One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Honey is produced exclusively by honeybees and stingless bees which both are well adapted to tropical and subtropical regions such as Malaysia. Stingless bees are known for producing small amounts of honey and are known for having a unique flavor profile. Problem identified that many stingless bees collapsed due to weather, temperature and environment. It is critical to understand the relationship between the production of stingless bee honey and environmental conditions to improve honey production.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.
Fuzzy linear programming with the intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbersIJECEIAES
In real world applications, data are subject to ambiguity due to several factors; fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers propose a great tool to model such ambiguity. In case of hesitation, the complement of a membership value in fuzzy numbers can be different from the non-membership value, in which case we can model using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as they provide flexibility by defining both a membership and a non-membership functions. In this article, we consider the intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem with intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbers, which is a generalization of the previous polygonal fuzzy numbers found in the literature. We present a modification of the simplex method that can be used to solve any general intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem after approximating the problem by an intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy number with n edges. This method is given in a simple tableau formulation, and then applied on numerical examples for clarity.

Seizure stage detection of epileptic seizure using convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seventy million individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder. While electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring the brain activity of epilepsy patients, it requires a specialist to examine all EEG recordings to find epileptic behavior. This procedure needs an experienced doctor, and a precise epilepsy diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment. To identify epileptic seizures, this study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on raw scalp EEG signals to discriminate between preictal, ictal, postictal, and interictal segments. The possibility of these characteristics is explored by examining how well timedomain signals work in the detection of epileptic signals using intracranial Freiburg Hospital (FH), scalp Children's Hospital Boston-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) databases, and Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG. To test the viability of this approach, two types of experiments were carried out. Firstly, binary class classification (preictal, ictal, postictal each versus interictal) and four-class classification (interictal versus preictal versus ictal versus postictal). The average accuracy for stage detection using CHB-MIT database was 84.4%, while the Freiburg database's time-domain signals had an accuracy of 79.7% and the highest accuracy of 94.02% for classification in the TUH EEG database when comparing interictal stage to preictal stage.
Analysis of driving style using self-organizing maps to analyze driver behaviorIJECEIAES
Modern life is strongly associated with the use of cars, but the increase in acceleration speeds and their maneuverability leads to a dangerous driving style for some drivers. In these conditions, the development of a method that allows you to track the behavior of the driver is relevant. The article provides an overview of existing methods and models for assessing the functioning of motor vehicles and driver behavior. Based on this, a combined algorithm for recognizing driving style is proposed. To do this, a set of input data was formed, including 20 descriptive features: About the environment, the driver's behavior and the characteristics of the functioning of the car, collected using OBD II. The generated data set is sent to the Kohonen network, where clustering is performed according to driving style and degree of danger. Getting the driving characteristics into a particular cluster allows you to switch to the private indicators of an individual driver and considering individual driving characteristics. The application of the method allows you to identify potentially dangerous driving styles that can prevent accidents.
Hyperspectral object classification using hybrid spectral-spatial fusion and ...IJECEIAES
Because of its spectral-spatial and temporal resolution of greater areas, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has found widespread application in the field of object classification. The HSI is typically used to accurately determine an object's physical characteristics as well as to locate related objects with appropriate spectral fingerprints. As a result, the HSI has been extensively applied to object identification in several fields, including surveillance, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and precision agriculture. However, because of their enormous size, objects require a lot of time to classify; for this reason, both spectral and spatial feature fusion have been completed. The existing classification strategy leads to increased misclassification, and the feature fusion method is unable to preserve semantic object inherent features; This study addresses the research difficulties by introducing a hybrid spectral-spatial fusion (HSSF) technique to minimize feature size while maintaining object intrinsic qualities; Lastly, a soft-margins kernel is proposed for multi-layer deep support vector machine (MLDSVM) to reduce misclassification. The standard Indian pines dataset is used for the experiment, and the outcome demonstrates that the HSSF-MLDSVM model performs substantially better in terms of accuracy and Kappa coefficient.

operation of voltage required for efficient DC-DC controller system, iii) it permits the user to make use of PV
cells associated with maximum output voltage as compared to the voltage required for operating the battery
unit, iv) it is also claimed to minimize the complexity associated with the system that normally surfaces
during higher peak loads. v) it also allows to be used for multiple number of sources of energy as efficient
controlling of DC-DC converter can be carried out more efficiently, vi) the applicability of the MPPT
controller system is more towards renewable resources [8]-[10]. An effective design of MPPT controller
system has many clauses to be checked for as i) computing the normal voltage of battery that is required for
charging the controller and likewise perform selection of such voltage, ii) selection of appropriate current for
charging, iii) ensure that the highest charging current is under the limits of standards imposed on operating
PV cells, etc. Existing system shows that there are various forms of classification of controller design
strategy e.g. i) incremental conductance, ii) perturb and observe, iii) constant voltage, iv) current sweep.
At present, there is various research works being carried out towards developing MPPT for designing an
efficient controller system [11]. Inspite of associated benefits of existing approaches, there are non-
availability of any form of benchmarked models to ensure the best performance of MPPT. This leads to
motivate that there is an immense need to perform a dedicate research work toward developing an efficient
MPPT-based model for developing an efficient controller system applicable in real-life conditions.
Therefore, the contribution of the proposed system is to introduce one such simplistic computational model to
address such problems. The proposed model emphasizes on offering a cost effective computational model
that can perform a precise identification of MPPT state considering PV cells under variable conditions
ofdifferent constraints. Section 1.1 discusses about the existing literatures where different techniques are
discussed for detection schemes used in MPPT scheme followed by discussion of research problems in
Section 1.2 and proposed solution in 1.3. Section 2 discusses about algorithm implementation followed by
discussion of result analysis in Section 3. Finally, the conclusive remarks are provided in Section 4.
1.1. Background
This section is a continuation of our prior exploration towards effective MPPT techniques where
further updated information is added on the top of it [12]. Existing literatures have been recorded to find the
importance of accuracy towards MPPT as reported by the work of Ahmed and Salam [13]. Study of MPPT
has also been carried out towards designing inverter for enhancing current quality. This fact was discussed by
Azari et al. [14]; however, the study lacks efficiency in inverter design. Caporal et al. [15] have presented a
study where enhanced PV system has been developed to offer better predictive scheme. Adoption of
approximation theory has been seen in the work of Ghasemi et al. [16] with more focus on speed of obtaining
MPPT considering partial shaded condition. Similar approach of modeling was also seen in the work of
Jeyaprabha and Selvakumar [17] where flyback converter is utilized. Jiang et al. [18] have worked towards
enhancing the tracking performance of MPPT using simulation-based study. A case study of reluctance
motor was considered for investigating the MPPT performance in water pumping motor by Koreboina
et al. [19]. The study has emphasized on lower peaks of phases with highly controlled noise level.
Kumar et al. [20], [21] have used machine learning approach for developing controller with efficient MPPT
as well as the authors have also worked on extraction of power efficiently. Lasheen et al. [22] have worked
on incorporating adaptivity inobtaining MPPT using reference voltage system. Leicht et al. [23] have
developed an optimized model for controlling MPPT with highest degree of efficiencyconsidering harvester
design of vibration energy. Adoption of swam intelligence was seen in study of Liu et al. [24] for ensuring
better stability on the MPPT outcomes. Study towards energy harvestor was also found to be adopted by Liu
et al. [25] in order to obtain better value of MPPT followed by removal of any dependencies on capacitor
storage. A Parameterized-based model was adopted in the work of Miao et al. [26] considering single step of
determination of MPPT followed by using multiple parameter models. However, the system is highly
recursive in its operation. Peng et al. [27] have presented another unique model of MPPT considering similar
condition of partially shaded condition. Adoption of machine learning-based approach was also reported in
the work of Reddy and Sudhakar [28] where neural network has been implemented for optimizing outcomes.
A non-linear-based approach of computing MPPT was seen in the work of Taheri and Taheri [29]
considering a model with two diodes. Study towards investigating effectiveness of step-sized based
approaches of optimization was seen in the work of Tang et al. [30] as well as Thangavelu et al. [31].
The investigation was carried out considering performance of steady-state. Wang et al. [32] have enhances
the mechanism of processing power in PV cell in order to obtain better controlling mechanism of MPPT.
Apart from this, the study also emphasized on achieving better accuracy of it using differential processing of
power technique. The sudy is done by Purwahyudi et al. [33] "self constructing neural network (SCNN)"
technuqe employed to enhance the accuracy of the electrnical characteristics in to the solar PV cell model.
Similarly Pradhan and Panda [34] this review study focused on real time experiment to examine the result of
differents factors like irradiance, heat, and angle of tilt, soiling, darkness over the power outcome of the pv-

module. By Mankour et al. [35] demonstarted modeling of a stand alone energy system which is focused
over Photovoltaic energy techniques. The next section briefly discusses about problems identified as major
research issues associated with MPPT in PV cells.
1.2. The problem
The significant research problems are as follows:
a. None of existing techniques are ever assessed for offering computationally efficiency from its
performance analysis.
b. Existing approaches incorporates more number of external parameter in order to obtain better output of
MPPT, which is expensive in real-life application design.
c. Usage of PV array and its simplified optimization technique is very few to find in existing system where
the dependencies are more for iterative machine learning approaches.
d. Lesser extent of simplified mathematical modeling exists which reduces the scope of implementation of
the cost effective model for reaching MPPT.
The statement of significant problem identified for proposed system is ―Developing a cost effective
computational model where a simplistic approach of enhancing the MPPT positions can be obtained with
faster response time in PV-cells is quite challenging.‖
1.3. Proposed solution
The principle aim of the proposed system is to design and develop a very simple model of DC-DC
converter using PV cell that can be used for assessing its MPPT. In order to evaluate the proposed aim,
it is essential that all the components be numerically designed and is subjected to higher degree of flexibility
in order to check the best performance of proposed system. Therefore, the proposed system adopts analytical
research methodology that retains the capability of both empirical evaluation as well as mathematical
modeling. The analytical scheme of the proposed system is showcased in Figure 1.

voltage corresponding to maximum power and maximum power of the PV cells. The proposed system also
introduces an algorithm that assists in numerically as well as graphically exploring the MPPT where the
analysis is carried out considering the test cases of both solar radiation and temperature. The final outcome of
the proposed study is assessed with respect to the current-voltage and power-voltage curve. The study
considersPV cell to be origination point of energy while a DC-DC controller is utilized for rectifying the
identified fluctuation explored in both voltage and current charecteristics offered by given solar cells.

The contribution of the above shown design is that it significantly assists ini obtaining the highest value of
power as well as it insists the PV cell for working with an allocated voltage that is very much closer to
highest value of the power for the purpose of drawing highest power.
2. ALGORITHM IMPLEMENTATION
The algorithm is introduced in order to better understand the flow of the proposed system with
respect to its mathematical modeling. The core basis of the mathematical modeling is to offer importance to
the enhancement of the current and voltage curve. Some of the essential parameters for the modeling are
scale current, diode current, thermal voltage, and emission coefficient. The steps involved in proposed
algorithm are as follows:
MPPT Algorithm for Computing Current and Power of DC-DC Converter of PV Module
Input: n (number of PV nodes)
Output: I (Current), P (Power)
Start
1) init n
2) For i=1: n
3) IϕIP1.β
4) compute resistive current Ir=f(Is/(B-1))
5) For j=1:m
6) τsize(θ)-[H1/H2]
7) End
8) Obtain I and P
End
The operation of the algorithm is as follows:-The algorithm considers different forms of inputs from
the PV cell where the important parameter is n that represents number of PV nodes (Line-1). It has to be
understood that similar look will be constructed for considering either solar power as input or thermal
coefficient as input. Therefore, the value of n will corresponds to standard value of solar radiation i.e. one
thousand watt per square meters as well as the algorithm will also consider the array voltage, which is
basically an array with three specific information of arra voltage, cardinality of sun, and thermal coefficient.
However, the proposed system fine-tunes it and develops a simple PV array considering three essential
components as shown in Figure 2.

Array Voltage
Cardinality of Sun
Temperature in terms of
Degree
Figure 2. Formation of Array Current Matrix
The study also considers a parameter C as specific value for specifying the cardinality of all the PV
cells that are interconnected to each other in the form of series connection. Hence, the expression for voltage
of open circuit at two different temperature scale can be empirically represented as,
V1a1/C &V2a2/C (1)
The algorithm also considers two other essential parameters called as operational temperature To and
modeling temperature Tm that is directly derived from standard temperature in form of degree. The proposed
algorithm also considers involvement of the phase current Iϕ that is mathematically computed (Line-3)
considering two dependency factors i.e. IP1 and β. The first simulation parameter IP1 is called as phase current

at temperature T1 and is computed as,
IP1Iα1.Sem (2)
In the above expression, the dependable variables Iα1 and Sem represents corresponding current of
circuit at specific value of α at temperature T1 and emission of solar radiation respectively. Usage of Ip1 is
used as the first dependable variable for computing phases current Iϕ at Line-3. Similar mechanism is used for
computing IP2 where the dependable parameters will be Iα2 andSem respectively. The computation of IP2 is
essential as without this the second parameter of computation of phase current i.e. β cannot be calculated
effectively. In order to compute β, the proposed system calculates IP2 as well as it reuses IP1 for evolving up
with an expression for calculating optimized current for scaling. The expression for β is given as,

A closer look into the above expression will show that there are various dependable parameters e.g.
ΔIs, Is1, ΔT, To, and T1. Basically, ΔIs will mean an effective scaling coefficient obtained by difference of
scaling coefficient corresponding to temperature T2 and T2 i.e. ΔIs=Is2-Is1. Similarly, ΔT will mean an
effective temperature score obtained difference of T2 and T1 i.e. T2-T1 (Line-3). The next part of the
algorithm implementation would be to compute the resistive current Ir corresponding to both the temperature
scale of T1 and T2. For this purpose, a specific function is constructed that is applicable for both the scaling
coefficient of current factor at T1 and T2 respectively. Following is the expanded form of expressionfor Ir

The parameter B in the denominator of expression (4) corresponds to exponential form of voltage of
open circuit at temperature T1 divided by scalar product of quality factor of diode and temperature T1.
The proposed system further computes effective current τ (Line-6) for different values of the voltage in order
to check for maximum power point. This computation is carried out mathematically used Line-6 with an aid
of different dependable parameters. A closer look into the expression will show effective current to be
obtained by two different types of the parameters i.e. size(θ) and [H1/H2]. Basically, the first parameter is a
matrix with all elements zero of the dimension equivalent to size of a voltage with cardinality of the solar
cells. The second parameter of the expression corresponds to following,
H1Iϕ-τ-Ir(exp(E)) (5)
H21-Ir(exp€).μ (6)
In the above expression, E will represents a value obtained by summing up voltage, current, and
resistance while the entire sum is divided by an effective voltage. Similar, form of expression is used for
computing H2. Hence, Line-6 assists in computing an effective current for the proposed PV cells.
Finally, the system can easily compute the power of the PV cell just by multiplying voltage and current at PV
cell (Line-6). This mechanism and its design principle is completely mathematical and a closer look into its
design strategy will show some significant improvement with respect to existing mechanism. The first
contribution of this algorithm is its simplicity for which reason it will never yield to any form of
computational complexity. This process will directly contribute to offer faster response time by effectively
generate the MPPT for the given DC-DC converter model e.g. PV cell. The second contribution of this
algorithm is that it doesn’t have any form of alteration towards the formation of any form of oscillator
circuits with its streamlined connectivity with the capacitor, diode, and source of ower supply. With an aid of
a battery, the instance of circuit obtaining the voltage than the charging operation is carried out by the
capacitor residing the circuit using a resistor. This phenomenon doesn’t require a massive form of
engineering and is considerably simpler to achieve. The system than looks for the condition when the voltage
applied to the capacitor is found to be more than than the thresholded voltage allocated to diode than in such
circumstance then the diode design is initiated and plays the role of a switch for the given circuit. This is one
of the essential reasons that lead the capacitor to discharge at a faster momentum using the proposed design
principle. However, this process can also assists in deactivating the diode when the current transmitted
through the designated diode is found to be less than thresholded current allocated in the diode. In such cases,

the capacitor again charges up. This process actually assists in offering better identification of MPPT as
normally such position of MMPT lies in closer proximity of the current-voltage curve. The proposed
algorithm computes the essential voltage as well as an effective current considering the case of voltage
corresponding to current factor associated with open as well as closed circuit too. However, with the
consideration of thermal factor, the outcome of the power of the PV cell could be further accurately derived.
The process also leads to the generation of the current and voltage curve that offers best way to analyze the
study effectiveness. The outcome of this algorithm significantly assists in performing the entire necessary
configuration to the array of the PV cell that indirectly helps in working much closer to the highest feasible
condition of maximum power point. Finally, the algorithm measures the highest effective power (Line-8) for
the given PV cell when it is completely allowed to be exposed to the standard solar emission. Also, a closer
look into the algorithm design will show that proposed algorithm is absolutely not iterative by any means
even it offers better outcomes which is very much essential to prove the computational efficiency of the
proposed algorithm design. The next section discusses about the outcome obtained by implementing the
discussed algorithm of proposed system for MPPT computation.
3. RESULT ANALYSIS
This section discusses about the outcomes obtained from the implementation of the proposed
system. The scripting of the proposed logic was carried out in MATLAB considering voltage at open circuit
condition as 20V, current at short circuit stage to be quivalent to 3.50A, voltage and current corresponding to
maximum power to be 16V and 3.5A, while the maximum power is considered to be 60W. The study
considers band gap voltage to be 1.12V and quality factor of the diode to be 1.2. All these are just standard
test conditions that are frequently adopted by many researchers while all of these are flexible to be altered for
assessing the MPPT of proposed system. The complete analysis of MPPT has been carried out considering
both solar radiation and temperature factor.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 highlights the Current-Voltage curve and Power-Voltage curve, where the
MPPT positions of 5cardinalities of solar radiation has been testified. A normal look into the trend shows that
current factor minimizes with the increase of voltage of PV cells in IV curve at 25o
C (Figure 3) while power
increases with increase in voltage factor until MPPT when it is found to be degraded after that. A promity
comparison between both the graphical analysis will show the similar convergence point (which is in closer
proximiry of 20V of PV cell). The MPPT points are highlighted in Figure 4. Exactly, similar interpretation
can be found for Figure 5 and Figure 6. However, the trends of both power and voltage are slightly different
for both the two forms of analysis i.e. solar and temperature factor. The curve for both current and power for
analyzing solar factor is quite distinct with respect to different cardinality of solar radiation. However, this is
not the case with temperature factor where different cardinalities of temperature results in nearly similar
value of both current as well as power will certain point and then start degrading distinctly. Hence, a very
peculiar trend analysis is possible using proposed system.

Figure 7. Comparative Analysis of Computational Time
The proposed system is also compared with the existing system in order to assess its computational
performance with respect to processing time. Owing to simplistic design principle of proposed system,
the computational time is found to be better with respect to existing system. The outcome shows that
proposed system offers approximately 34.803% and 42.34% of improvement of computational performance
time in comparison to PV models designed to assess MPPT by Kakosimos et al. [36] and Nedumgatt
et al. [37]. Hence, proposed system offers cost effective computational model of MPPT evaluation in PV
cells.
4. CONCLUSION
The proposed system introduces a simplified model for developing a PV cell in order to ensure better
score of MPPT. The proposed system uses diode law with presence of diode with single junction, current,
resistance (series), solar radiation, and temperature. The proposed sysem uses both solar and temperature
parameter as the case study to evaluate the MPPT score. The study outcome is assessed with respect to
current-voltage and power-voltage charecteristics. Considering a specific environment of DC-DC converter
topology, the study outcome shows that an efficient and faster identification of MPPT. The study outcome was
also found to offer faster computational processing time with respect to existing mechnanism of MPPT
evaluation considering PV cells.
