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.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

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%.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Clemson Laundry And Dry Cleaners on Anderson
Highway services more than 100 customers per day.
To improve the customer satisfaction, we had to reduce
the probable delivery date.
Customers wanted a cloth pick-up and delivery system.
We have developed an alternate model to reduce the
waiting time in the above processes.
3. The aim of this project was to improve the laundry facility
so as to reduce the queue of clothes going to the
different processes. We also responded to the customer
requests of introducing a ‘Pick-up & delivery’ facility for
the system.
An Arena model is developed to determine the
performance of the existing system. Based on OPT
Quest results, we have developed an ‘alternate’ for the
system. The new model has a cloth pick-up & delivery
facility.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
4. Model is simulated for 5 replications with each simulation having 150
working hours.
Only the clothes that are brought in by the pick-up service will be
delivered.
The clothes brought in by customers will be collected by the
customers themselves.
There are no machine down-times or idle time.
The clothes are loaded instantaneously after every cycle.
The concentration of customers in and around Clemson has been
divided into 4 zones for Pick-up & delivery.

10. The input data has been analyzed using the Input Analyzer. All the
data was subjected to analysis and the corresponding distributions
were used as inputs in the CREATE and DECIDE modules.
Total number of clothes for Ironing : 715 = 53 %
Total number of clothes for Laundry : 500 = 38%
Total number of Clothes for Dry Cleaning : 126 = 9%

CONSTRAINTS FOR OPT QUEST
Objective
Minimize :
[Number In Dry Cleaning batch Queue] + [Number In Delivery Hanger Queue]
+ [Number In Dry Cleaning Process Queue] + [Number In Tagging Process
Queue]
44. The optimal solution has been obtained by extensively
using OPT Quest. We have found that the laundry
facility needs to have 1 Dry Cleaning machines, 4
Hanger stations and 3 Tagging stations. The ultimate
objective of reduced queue at the processes has been
obtained in the alternate model and we can say that,
the customer is satisfied, as a result of this.
CONCLUSION
45. We would like to take this opportunity to thank
Dr.Kevin Taffee for providing us an opportunity to work
on such an interesting and thought simulating project.
We would also like to thank him for all the support and
time he has given us, throughout.
We would like to thank the staff of Clemson Dry
Cleaners, Clemson, SC., for providing us with the
required data and educating us on the facility
operation & layout.
