Spectrum Hole Detection for Cognitive Radio through Energy Detection using Random Forest

The growth of wireless data is the major driving force for an exponential increase in wireless communication. Cognitive Radio is one of the emerging wireless technologies that can be used for smart utility networks. Optimum utilization of the wireless spectrum is the objective of Cognitive Radio. Finding a spectrum hole through intelligent means is essential for the success of Cognitive Radio. Dynamic spectrum allocation is also an efficient technique for spectrum allocation. It will lead to a better spectrum utilization. In this paper, some of the machine learning techniques are used to find a frequency range for dynamic spectrum allocation. Different machine learning techniques such as Lo…

Fuzzy logic controller and game theory based distributed energy resources allocation

Energy management and demand control through conventional energy generation sources are challenging for energy providers. Distributed energy resources (DERs) allocation near load centers may provide a suitable solution. The main contribution of the paper improves the voltage profile and reduce the active and reactive power losses in the distribution network. DERs are integrated with IEEE 33 bus system using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and game theory for two different cases with unity and 0.9 power factor (PF) and compares with conventional methods of integration (i.e., modified novel method, power loss sensitivity method, voltage sensitivity analysis method). The capacity of DERs is optim…

Placement analysis of combined renewable and conventional distributed energy resources within a radial distribution network

<abstract> <p>System islanding, relay tripping, and reverse power flow-like issues in the distribution network are all caused by randomly placed distributed energy resources. To minimize such problems, distributed energy resource (DER) optimal placement in the radial distribution network (RDN) is essential to reduce power loss and enhance the voltage profile. When placing DERs, consideration of constraints like size, location, number, type, and power factor (PF) should be considered. For optimal placement, renewable and nonrenewable DERs are considered. The effects of different types and PFs of DER placements have been tested on the IEEE 33 bus RDN to satisfy all limitations. Us…

Frequency Regulation of Hybrid Power System by Optimized Adaptive Fuzzy PID Controller

In this study, an adaptive fuzzy PID (AFPID) regulator has been proposed for frequency control of hybrid power system. For controller parameter optimization, an upgraded Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) has been employed. In the proposed Upgraded WOA (UWOA) technique, a cosine function is incorporated in the original WOA for determining control parameter to manage the position of whales throughout optimization procedure. Furthermore, scaling factors are employed in original WOA to adjust the travel of whales in search procedure. Proposed UWOA technique is employed to design an AFPID controller for frequency regulation of a hybrid power system It is demonstrated that UWOA technique out per…
