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.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Case study on Cloud Platforms
1. Case Study – Amazon EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Elastic IP addresses allow you to allocate a static IP address and programmatically assign it
to an instance. You can enable monitoring on an Amazon EC2 instance using Amazon
CloudWatch in order to gain visibility into resource utilization, operational performance, and
overall demand patterns (including metrics such as CPU utilization, disk reads and writes, and
network traffic). You can create Auto-scaling Group using the Auto-scaling feature to
automatically scale your capacity on certain conditions based on metric that Amazon
CloudWatch collects. You can also distribute incoming traffic by creating an elastic load
balancer using the Elastic Load Balancing service. Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS)
volumes provide network-attached persistent storage to Amazon EC2 instances. Point-in-time
consistent snapshots of EBS volumes can be created and stored on Amazon Simple Storage
Service(AmazonS3).
Amazon S3 is highly durable and distributed data store. With a simple web services interface,
you can store and retrieve large amounts of data as objects in buckets (containers) at any time,
from anywhere on the web using standard HTTP verbs. Copies of objects can be distributed
and cached at 14 edge locations around the world by creating a distribution using Amazon
CloudFront7 service – a web service for content delivery (static or streaming content). Amazon
SimpleDB8 is a web service that provides the core functionality of a database- real-time lookup
and simple querying of structured data – without the operational complexity. You can organize
2. the dataset into domains and can run queries across all the data stored in a particular domain.
Domains are collections of items that are described by attribute-value pairs.
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) provides an easy way to setup, operate
and scale a relational database in the cloud. You can launch a DB Instance and get access to a
full-featured MySQL database and not worry about common database administration tasks like
backup,&etc.
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a reliable, highly scalable, hosted
distributed queue for storing messages as they travel between computers and application
components.
Amazon Simple Notifications Service (Amazon SNS) provides a simple way to notify
applications or people from the cloud by creating Topics and using a publish-subscribe
protocol.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce provides a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale
infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3) and allows you to create customized JobFlows. JobFlow is a sequence
of MapReduce steps.
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) allows you to extend your corporate network
into a private cloud contained within AWS. Amazon VPC uses IPSec tunnel mode that enables
you to create a secure connection between a gateway in your data center and a gateway in
AWS.
Amazon Route53 is a highly scalable DNS service that allows you manage your DNS records
by creating a HostedZone for every domain you would like to manage.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enable you to create multiple Users with
unique security credentials and manage the permissions for each of these Users within your
AWS Account. IAM is natively integrated into AWS Services. No service APIs have changed
to support IAM, and exiting applications and tools built on top of the AWS service APIs will
continue to work when using IAM.
AWS also offers various payment and billing services that leverages Amazon’s payment
infrastructure.
3. Case Study – Microsoft Azure
Execution Environment
The Windows Azure execution environment consists of a platform for applications and services
hosted within one or more roles. The types of roles you can implement in Windows Azure are:
Azure Compute (Web and Worker Roles). A Windows Azure application consists of one or
more hosted roles running within the Azure data centers. Typically there will be at least
one Web role that is exposed for access by users of the application. The application may
contain additional roles, including Worker roles that are typically used to perform
background processing and support tasks for Web roles. For more detailed information
see “Overview of Creating a Hosted Service for Windows Azure”
athttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/gg432976.aspxand “Building an Application that
Runs in a Hosted Service” at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/hh180152.aspx.
Virtual Machine (VM role). This role allows you to host your own custom instance of the
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard operating
system within a Windows Azure data center. For more detailed information see “Creating
Applications by Using a VM Role in Windows Azure” athttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-
au/library/gg465398.aspx.
Data Management
Windows Azure, SQL Azure, and the associated services provide opportunities for storing and
managing data in a range of ways. The following data management services and features are
available:
Azure Storage: This provides four core services for persistent and durable data storage in
the cloud. The services support a REST interface that can be accessed from within Azure-
hosted or on-premises (remote) applications. For information about the REST API, see
4. “Windows Azure Storage Services REST API Reference” athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/dd179355.aspx. The four storage services are:
o The Azure Table Service provides a table-structured storage mechanism based on the
familiar rows and columns format, and supports queries for managing the data. It is
primarily aimed at scenarios where large volumes of data must be stored, while being
easy to access and update. For more detailed information see “Table Service
Concepts” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd179463.aspx and “Table Service
API” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd179423.aspx.
o The Binary Large Object (BLOB) Service provides a series of containers aimed at
storing text or binary data. It provides both Block BLOB containers for streaming
data, and Page BLOB containers for random read/write operations. For more detailed
information see “Understanding Block Blobs and Page Blobs”
athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee691964.aspx and “Blob Service API”
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd135733.aspx.
o The Queue Service provides a mechanism for reliable, persistent messaging between
role instances, such as between a Web role and a Worker role. For more detailed
information see “Queue Service Concepts” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/dd179353.aspx and “Queue Service API” athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/dd179363.aspx.
o Windows Azure Drives provide a mechanism for applications to mount a single
volume NTFS VHD as a Page BLOB, and upload and download VHDs via the
BLOB. For more detailed information see “Windows Azure Drive” (PDF)
at http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9710117.
SQL Azure Database: This is a highly available and scalable cloud database service built
on SQL Server technologies, and supports the familiar T-SQL based relational database
model. It can be used with applications hosted in Windows Azure, and with other
applications running on-premises or hosted elsewhere. For more detailed information see
“SQL Azure Database” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee336279.aspx.
Data Synchronization: SQL Azure Data Sync is a cloud-based data synchronization service
built on Microsoft Sync Framework technologies. It provides bi-directional data
synchronization and data management capabilities allowing data to be easily shared
between multiple SQL Azure databases and between on-premises and SQL Azure
databases. For more detailed information see “Microsoft Sync Framework Developer
Center” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sync.
Caching: This service provides a distributed, in-memory, low latency and high throughput
application cache service that requires no installation or management, and dynamically
increases and decreases the cache size automatically as required. It can be used to cache
application data, ASP.NET session state information, and for ASP.NET page output
caching.
Networking Services
Windows Azure provides several networking services that you can take advantage of to
maximize performance, implement authentication, and improve manageability of your hosted
applications. These services include the following:
5. Content Delivery Network (CDN). The CDN allows you to cache publicly available static
data for applications at strategic locations that are closer (in network delivery terms) to
end users. The CDN uses a number of data centers at many locations around the world,
which store the data in BLOB storage that has anonymous access. These do not need to
be locations where the application is actually running.
Virtual Network Connect. This service allows you to configure roles of an application
running in Windows Azure and computers on your on-premises network so that they
appear to be on the same network. It uses a software agent running on the on-premises
computer to establish an IPsec-protected connection to the Windows Azure roles in the
cloud, and provides the capability to administer, manage, monitor, and debug the roles
directly.
Virtual Network Traffic Manager. This is a service that allows you to set up request
redirection and load balancing based on three different methods. Typically you will use
Traffic Manager to maximize performance by redirecting requests from users to the
instance in the closest data center using the Performance method. Alternative load
balancing methods available are Failover and Round Robin.
Access Control. This is a standards-based service for identity and access control that makes
use of a range of identity providers (IdPs) that can authenticate users. ACS acts as a
Security Token Service (STS), or token issuer, and makes it easier to take advantage of
federation authentication techniques where user identity is validated in a realm or domain
other than that in which the application resides. An example is controlling user access
based on an identity verified by an identity provider such as Windows Live ID or Google.
Service Bus. This provides a secure messaging and data flow capability for distributed and
hybrid applications, such as communication between Windows Azure hosted applications
and on-premises applications and services, without requiring complex firewall and
security infrastructures. It can use a range of communication and messaging protocols and
patterns to provide delivery assurance, reliable messaging; can scale to accommodate
varying loads; and can be integrated with on-premises BizTalk Server artifacts.
6. Case Study – Google App Engine
Google App Engine (often referred to as GAE or simply App Engine, and also used by the
acronym GAE/J) is a platform as a service(PaaS) cloud computing platform for developing and
hosting web applications in Google-managed data centers. Applications are sandboxed and run
across multiple servers. App Engine offers automatic scaling for web applications—as the
number of requests increases for an application, App Engine automatically allocates more
resources for the web application to handle the additional demand.
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of consumed resources. Fees are charged for
additional storage, bandwidth, or instance hours required by the application. It was first
released as a preview version in April 2008, and came out of preview in September 2011.
Runtimes and frameworks
Currently, the supported programming languages are Python, Java (and, by extension,
other JVM languages such as Groovy, JRuby, Scala, Clojure, Jython and PHP via a special
version ofQuercus), and Go. Google has said that it plans to support more languages in the
future, and that the Google App Engine has been written to be language independent.
Reliability and Support
All billed High-Replication Datastore App Engine applications have a 99.95% uptime SLA
Portability Concerns
Developers worry that the applications will not be portable from App Engine and fear
being locked into the technology. In response, there are a number of projects to create open-
source back-ends for the various proprietary/closed APIs of app engine, especially the
datastore. Although these projects are at various levels of maturity, none of them is at the point
where installing and running an App Engine app is as simple as it is on Google’s service.
7. AppScale and TyphoonAE are two of the open source efforts.
AppScale can run Python, Java, and Go GAE applications on EC2 and other cloud vendors.
TyphoonAE can run python App Engine applications on any cloud that support linux
machines.
Web2py web framework offers migration between SQL Databases and Google App Engine,
however it doesn’t support several App Engine-specific features such as transactions and
namespaces.
Differences with other application hosting
Compared to other scalable hosting services such as Amazon EC2, App Engine provides more
infrastructure to make it easy to write scalable applications, but can only run a limited range of
applications designed for that infrastructure.
App Engine’s infrastructure removes many of the system administration and development
challenges of building applications to scale to hundreds of requests per second and beyond.
Google handles deploying code to a cluster, monitoring, failover, and launching application
instances as necessary.
While other services let users install and configure nearly any *NIX compatible software, App
Engine requires developers to use only its supported languages, APIs, and frameworks. Current
APIs allow storing and retrieving data from a BigTable non-relational database; making HTTP
requests; sending e-mail; manipulating images; and caching. Existing web applications that
require a relational database will not run on App Engine without modification.
Per-day and per-minute quotas restrict bandwidth and CPU use, number of requests served,
number of concurrent requests, and calls to the various APIs, and individual requests are
terminated if they take more than 60 seconds or return more than 32MB of data.
Differences between SQL and GQL
Google App Engine’s datastore has a SQL-like syntax called “GQL”. GQL
intentionally does not support the Join statement, because it seems to be inefficient
when queries span more than one machine. Instead, one-to-many and many-to-many
relationships can be accomplished using ReferenceProperty(). This shared-nothing
approach allows disks to fail without the system failing. Switching from a relational
database to the Datastore requires a paradigm shift for developers when modelling their
data.
Unlike a relational database the Datastore API is not relational in the SQL sense.
The Java version supports asynchronous non-blocking queries using the Twig Object
Datastore interface. This offers an alternative to using threads for parallel data
processing.
