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

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
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.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

2. Draperies
Drapes are straight panels
of fabric. Variations are created
by the “heading,” which refers to
the way the window treatment
hangs from the curtain rod or
mounting board.
Many people use the
terms curtains and drapes
synonymously; however, there
are lot of differences between
them.
3. Draperies
Draperies Curtains
More formal More casual
Usually lined and frequently
interlined with sewn and
pleated headings.
Made of light weight fabric
and are not always lined.
More often hung from
drapery hooks on traversing
rods.
Typically hang from
stationary curtain rods and
have gathered, smocked or
ruffled headings.
Frequently found in living
and dining rooms.
Often seen in kitchens and
bedrooms.
Difference of Draperies from Curtains
4. Draperies
The current fashion in drapes is two
matching tall columns of fabric that flank a
window like sentries guarding a palace
entrance. There are two standard lengths
you can found in stores: 84 inches and 95 or
96 inches. The length of the drapes dictates
the height of the rod. If 84-inch-long drape,
the rod must be mounted roughly 84 inches
from the floor if the curtains hang from the
rod without rings.
5. Draperies
Different styles of Drapes
1. Puddling
This style is extra-long
panels with inches of fabric
"puddling" on the floor, creating
a ball-gown effect. This can be
an elegant look for fabrics with
the right weight and weave,
such as synthetics and silks.
6. Draperies
2. Hemmed Up
Drapes don't have to be
long. Some are hemmed to
reach a specific point on the
window—typically the window
sash or just below the bottom of
the molding around the window.
These window treatments tend
to be more casual than long
drapes and are often sewn from
lightweight fabrics, such as
cotton and muslin.
7. Draperies
3. Pleated and Gathered
The most popular type
of drape is the gathered style,
which is most commonly
available as ready-made
drapes. A panel is flat until
you clip it to rings or thread it
onto a curtain rod. When the
panel pulls to the side of the
window, the fabric gathers
into gentle waves.
8. Draperies
Types of Drapery Pleats
1. Ripple Fold
Ripple fold style are
draperies that have a
consistent s- curve rippling
across the span of the track.
The ripples are created by
carriers corded together to
create that consistent wave.
9. Draperies
2. Tailored Pleat
It is another best-selling
drapery design here at The
Shade Store. It is fuller, and has
an understated elegance.
Known for its waterfall pleat
design, the pleats are held stiff
with a buckram stiffener,
allowing this type of drapery to
remain very functional and easy-
to-operate.
10. Draperies
3. Pinch Pleat
It is a drapery header that
involves pinching together two
to five measured out pleats and
sewing them together so that
they synch together at the top.
Draperies with pinch pleats can
be hung using hardware such
as a rod and rings, an exposed
track, a hidden track with
cornice, or a curved track.
11. Draperies
4. Inverted Pleat
An Inverted pleat is a
common drapery header type
that adds texture and depth to
the textile, while turning the
fullness of the curtain inward.
It is the reverse of a box pleat,
which is made while taking
depth, underlay, and spacing
into account.
12. Draperies
5. Grommet Pleat
Draperies with a
grommet top have metal rings
punched into the fabric that
allow them to slide along the
rod easily. The grommet rings
create a ripple fold when you
feed them on to the rod, so
they form uniform pleats
without training your drapes.
13. Draperies
6. Goblet Pleat
A goblet pleat is a
drapery header type that
involves forming a circle with
the top few inches of the
curtain, and then pinching
together a few inches below to
form three pleats. This type of
pleat is a hybrid of a cartridge
pleat and a pinch pleat.
14. Draperies
7. Rod Pocket Pleat
The most classic and
common of all methods of
hanging curtains, a rod
pocket is a sewn-in pocket,
or casing, at the top of a
curtain panel that easily
slips over a rod and
conceals it.
15. Wall Coverings
Wall covering is
used to cover and
decorate the interior
walls of homes, offices,
cafes, hotels,
bedrooms, government
buildings, museums,
post offices and other
buildings; it is one
aspect of interior
decoration.
17. Wall Coverings

Carpet is a textile floor
covering typically consisting of
an upper layer of pile attached
to a backing. It is used for a
variety of purposes, including
insulating a person’s feet from a
cold tile or concrete floor,
making a room more
comfortable as a place to sit on
the floor, reducing sound from
walking and adding decoration
or color to a room.
39. Carpets
History of Carpet
- Originated in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC in West
Asia.
- The earliest surviving pile carpet is the “Pazyryk
carpet”, which dates from the 5th-4th century BC.
- It was excavated by Sergei Ivanovich Rudenko in
1949 from Pazyryk burial mound in the Altai Mountains in
Siberia.
-The historian Herodotus writing in the 5th century
BC also informs us that the inhabitants of the Caucasus
wove beautiful rugs with brilliant colors which would
never fade.
41. Carpets
Types of Carpet
1. Loop Pile
- In which individual
strands or yarn are pulled
through the carpet backing
twice to create a small loop.
2. Cut Pile
- In which the loop is cut
at the top, leaving tuffs of yarn
that stand straight up.
42. Carpets
Loop Pile Carpets
Fabric/yarns used in loop pile carpets:
a. Berber
- Have thick yarns and are
often distinguished by their ‘flecked’
appearance, which is excellent for
hiding traffic marks.
b. Cable
- Soft, heavy yarns with lots of
twist and a casual look.
c. Sisal
- Twisted synthetic yarns that
imitate the hardy, woven grass feel of
aboriginal crafts.
43. Carpets
Cut Pile Carpets
Fabric/yarns used in cut pile carpets:
a. Velvet or Plush
- It is smooth, soft and
elegant, generally it is used in
living rooms.
b. Saxony
- Has a relatively high pile
and the end of the tuft ‘flairs’
slightly to produce a smooth
surface.
44. Carpets
c. Textured
- It is twisted and crimped to
create a multi-colored look that
hides footprints but retains its soft
feel.
d. Shag
- Uses a longer tuft and
thicker yarn.
e. Frieze
- Tightly twisted with short,
curly fibers that hide footprints.
45. Carpets
3. Multi-level Loop Pile Carpets
- Two or three different loop
heights are used throughout the
carpet to create random patterns
of geometric images.
4. Cut and Loop Pile Carpets
- Different types and cuts of
pile are combined to create a
variety of textures, sculpted
effects and color combinations.
46. Carpets
Classification of Carpets
1. Woven
- Produced on a loom quite similar to woven
cloth. These carpets are usually the most expensive
due to the relatively slow speed of the manufacturing
process.
2. Tufted
- These carpets that have their pile injected
into a backing material, which is itself then bonded to
a secondary backing comprising a woven hessian
weave or a man made alternative to provide stabiliy.
47. Carpets
3. Knotted
- The structural weft threads alternate with a
supplementary weft that rises at right angles to the
surface of the weave.
4. Needle Felt
- Produced by electrostatic attraction of
individual synthetic fibers forming an extremely
durable carpet.
5. Electrostatically flocked
- Produced by projecting electrically charged
fibers on to a backing coated with adhesive.
49. Carpets
Other Varieties of Carpets
1. Oriental Carpet
- These are hand woven
carpets normally made in India,
China & Iran.
2. Indian Carpet
- Made from coarser, longer
pile than Persian carpets and have
lesser patterns than them.
50. Carpets
3. Persian Carpet
- Patterns are generally
delicate, intricate and symbolic.
4. Chinese Carpet
- They have a close, silky
pile and a well defined pattern.
5. Turkish Carpet
- These carpets in the 5th
and 16th centuries are best
known through European
paintings.
