There are several benefits to constructing a lightweight vision system that is implemented directly on limited hardware devices. Most deep learning-based computer vision systems, such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), use computationally expensive backbone feature extractor networks, such as ResNet and Inception network. To address the issue of network complexity, researchers created SqueezeNet, an alternative compressed and diminutive network. However, SqueezeNet was trained to recognize 1000 unique objects as a broad classification system. This work integrates a two-layer particle swarm optimizer (TLPSO) into YOLO to reduce the contribution of SqueezeNet convolutional filters that have contributed less to human action recognition. In short, this work introduces a lightweight vision system with an optimized SqueezeNet backbone feature extraction network. Secondly, it does so without sacrificing accuracy. This is because that the high-dimensional SqueezeNet convolutional filter selection is supported by the efficient TLPSO algorithm. The proposed vision system has been used to the recognition of human behaviors from drone-mounted camera images. This study focused on two separate motions, namely walking and running. As a consequence, a total of 300 pictures were taken at various places, angles, and weather conditions, with 100 shots capturing running and 200 images capturing walking. The TLPSO technique lowered SqueezeNet's convolutional filters by 52%, resulting in a sevenfold boost in detection speed. With an F1 score of 94.65% and an inference time of 0.061 milliseconds, the suggested system beat earlier vision systems in terms of human recognition from drone-based photographs. In addition, the performance assessment of TLPSO in comparison to other related optimizers found that TLPSO had a better convergence curve and achieved a higher fitness value. In statistical comparisons, TLPSO surpassed PSO and RLMPSO by a wide margin.

Landslide susceptibility mapping is still an ongoing requirement for variety of applications such as land use management plans. The central objective of the present research was to investigate the effect of using ensemble machine learning methods for developing accurate landslide prediction. We aimed to explore and compare three techniques, namely the random forests, support vector machine and multiple-layer neural networks with an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, which incorporates three metaheuristic methods including grey wolf optimization, particle swarm optimization, and shuffled frog leaping algorithm for landslide susceptibility assessment in the East Azerbaijan of Iran. Also, two ensemble ways (voting and stacking) were used in final decision stage. A sum of 766 locations with landslide inventory was recognized in the context of the study. Then the all models were trained using tenfold cross-validation technique. Lastly, the receiver operating characteristic and statistical procedures were employed to validate and contrast the predictive capability of the models. The findings of the study show the ANFIS-PSO model had high performance on the validation dataset (AUC = 0.89). Besides, the study revealed that using stacking ensemble technique could increase the predicting capability of all models (AUC = 0.911).

In this article, a stochastic incremental subgradient algorithm for the minimization of a sum of convex functions is introduced. The method sequentially uses partial subgradient information, and the sequence of partial subgradients is determined by a general Markov chain. This makes it suitable to be used in networks, where the path of information flow is stochastically selected. We prove convergence of the algorithm to a weighted objective function, where the weights are given by the Cesaro limiting probability distribution of the Markov chain. Unlike previous works in the literature, the Cesaro limiting distribution is general (not necessarily uniform), allowing for general weighted objective functions and flexibility in the method.

A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is an essential part of the urban water cycle, which reduces concentration of pollutants in the river. For monitoring and control of WWTPs, researchers develop different models and systems. This study introduces a new deep learning model for predicting effluent quality parameters (EQPs) of a WWTP. A method that couples a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a novel version of radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed to simultaneously predict and estimate uncertainty of data. The multi-kernel RBFNN (MKRBFNN) uses two activation functions to improve the efficiency of the RBFNN model. The salp swarm algorithm is utilized to set the MKRBFNN and CNN parameters. The main advantage of the CNN-MKRBFNN-salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is to automatically extract features from data points. In this study, influent parameters (if) are used as inputs. Biological oxygen demand (BODif), chemical oxygen demand (CODif), total suspended solids (TSSif), volatile suspended solids (VSSif), and sediment (SEDef) are used to predict EQPs, including CODef, BODef, and TSSef. At the testing level, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiencies of CNN-MKRBFNN-SSA are 0.98, 0.97, and 0.98 for predicting CODef, BODef, and TSSef. Results indicate that the CNN-MKRBFNN-SSA is a robust model for simulating complex phenomena.

The increasing implementation of renewable energy sources (RES), along with the diversity of energy source types, has additionally imposed significant operational and management problems in distribution networks. These problems are manifested in voltage regulations, system stability and coordination of protection, both in the distribution and transmission networks. For the medium voltage (MV) network, this includes new energy sources and higher amounts of fault currents, invisibility of several faults in the existing protection scheme, reduction of the range of protection devices and reduction of the possibility of detecting small fault currents with existing protection relays. Such changes significantly reduce the possibility of proper distribution system protection, both in subordinate and superior networks. The subject of this paper is the presentation of a new concept of the use of automation in the management and arrangement of power system protection dependent on the scheme and configuration of an active MV network. The goals of this analysis and research are to find and define the necessary architecture in which the scheme and appearance of the MV network should be automatically detected, and based on network topology to establish new settings of protection devices (ground fault, overcurrent and short circuit protection). The contributions of generation units of RES in the MV network must be considered. This paper specifically analyses the problems of power system management with simultaneous harmonization of protection systems both in the transmission and in the radial distribution network, offering optimization algorithms that have the ability of achieving the optimal solution. The implementation of the proposed technique was tested on a radial connection integrated with a microgrid (MG) which has the possibility of two-way power supply. The obtained results indicate that the proposed technique can solve described problems in the coordination of protection

Microgrid protection schemes play a vital role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of power distribution in urban and rural areas, especially as renewable distributed energy resources are increasingly integrated. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing microgrid protection schemes, discussing their advantages and limitations and highlighting key challenges and opportunities for future research. As microgrid systems become increasingly common, the management of power flow in small-community networks equipped with intelligent electronic devices, non-linear loads, and multiple distributed generation sources becomes more complicated. In order to address these challenges, coordination of protective schemes is required to prevent overload and damage to equipment. Firstly, the study discusses microgrid definitions and functional categories, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. An analysis of microgrid protection literature includes adaptive protection systems as intelligent methods to address coordination challenges. Secondly, this review classifies microgrid protection techniques as modified, new knowledge-based and conventional schemes and provides a systematic analysis of optimization approaches. The study also examines the essential problems associated with the coordination of protective relays within microgrids. Finally, examining the current state of microgrid protection to identify the key research directions and opportunities for future development in this rapidly advancing field. The findings of this comprehensive analysis highlight the importance of effective microgrid protection in ensuring a stable and sustainable energy future.

In the rapid development of the electric power industry, there is a very steep increase in load. In the era of the modern power sector, renewable-based distributed generation has been forced to incorporate into the network. The classical generator dispatch method concentrates only on economic and environmental concerns during dispatch. These approaches are not scheduled considering the capacity benefit approach. The proposed work proposes a fourth-angle view of generator dispatch to meet the demand considering the available transfer capability of the network. This novel method gives an edge in the overloading of the network over classical economic-based load dispatch methods. Since the problem formulated is based on network loading, the objective functions are non-linear and particle swarm optimization is implemented to solve the solutions. This paper presents the comparative result analysis based on economical based optimal power flow (EPOF) and capacity benefited optimal power flow (COPF). From the case studies, we could find the available transfer capability in IEEE 30 bus system has increased by 13% when compared with solving in classical optimal power flow.

The hydropower industry is one of the most important sources of clean energy. Predicting hydropower production is essential for the hydropower industry. This study introduces a hybrid deep learning model to predict hydropower production. Statistical methods are unsuitable for modeling hydropower production because their accuracy depends on seasonal and periodic fluctuations. For accurate predictions, deep learning models can capture daily, weekly, and monthly patterns. Since ANNs may not capture latent and nonlinear patterns, we use deep learning models to predict hydropower production. We used Convolutional Neural Network-Multilayer Perceptron-Gaussian Process Regression (CNNE-MUPE-GPRE) to extract key features and predict outcomes. The main advantages of the hybrid model are the quantification of production uncertainty, the accurate prediction of hydropower production, and the extraction of features from input data. We use a binary SSOA to select optimal input scenarios. The new model is benchmarked against the long short term memory neural network (LSTM), Bi directional LSTM (BI-LSTM), MUPE, GPRE, MUPE-GPRE, CNNE-GPRE, and CNNE-MUPE models. The models are used to predict 1-, 2-, and 3-day ahead power. The root mean square error values of CNNE-MUPE-GPRE, CNNE-MUPE, CNNE-GPRE, MUPE-GPRE, BI-LSTM, LSTM, CNNE, MUPE, GPRE were 578, 615, 832, 861, 914, 934, 1436, 1712, and 1954 KW at the 1-day prediction horizon. The RMSE of the CNNE-MUPE-GPRE was 595, 600, and 612 at the 1-day, 2-days, and 3-days prediction horizons. Extending the prediction horizon degrades accuracy. The uncertainty of the CNNE-MUPE-GPRE model was lower than that of the other models. The CNNE-MUPE-GPRE model is recommended for more accurate hydropower production predictions.

Meta heuristics is an optimization approach that works as an intelligent technique to solve optimization problems. Evolutionary algorithms, human-based algorithms, physics-based algorithms and swarm intelligence are categorized under meta-heuristic algorithms. This study pre-sents a critical review of meta-heuristic algorithms for future reference, including concepts, applica-tions, advantages and disadvantages, before focusing on one specific meta-heuristic algorithm, namely, Emperor Penguin Optimizer (EPO). It is an intelligent algorithm developed after observing the behaviour of emperor penguins during cold winters. This technique was introduced by Dhiman in 2018 and adopted to solve optimization problems. The study reviews the algorithm variants start-ing from its invention in 2018 until 2022. The literature is comprehensively reviewed to reflect on the progress of the algorithm's adoption, highlighting a new area for improvement. The most significant result is that the proposed algorithm has been proven an effective technique. The merits and demer-its of the algorithm are explored to provide valuable perspectives for future research. This study answers the question regarding meta-heuristic algorithms' effectiveness, especially EPO. Both begin-ners and experts of EPO research can use the findings of this study as guidelines for enhancing cur-rent concepts and applications of state-of-the-art algorithms for future development works.(c) 2022 THE AUTHORS.
