In this paper, we propose an energy efficiency (EE) optimization scheme for data collection in high altitude platform (HAP)-assisted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network. The HAP acts as the aerial base station (ABS) to assist UAV and sensing devices (SDs) establishing direct uplink data transmission, i.e., device-to-UAV (D2U) communication. Our goal is to operate the UAV in an energy-efficient manner for cyclic data collection by dynamically clustering the target area and optimizing sink SD selection and transmit power in D2U communications. An optimization problem is formulated that maximizes the throughput-energy utility. Aiming at addressing the formulated problem, we propose a dynamic clustering algorithm based on Affinity Propagation (AP) to determine sink SDs for D2U communications, and a centralized reinforcement learning algorithm based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) to obtain the optimal UAV trajectory and sink SDs' transmit power. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has advantages in EE compared with other schemes.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided communication system is able to extend the coverage of the cellular network and provide flexible connectivity to the ground users. Recently, in order to achieve the ambitious goal of ubiquitous computing and intelligence, UAV-aided mobile edge computing (MEC) system also attracts significant research interests. In this work, we investigate the trajectory design for a multi-UAV-aided MEC system to maximize the defined quality of experience (QoE) and service fairness of multiple ground user equipments (UEs). Since the practical communication environment is complex and time-varying, it is challenging for the multiple UAVs to dynamically make autonomous decisions. Meanwhile, the centralized decision-making scheme may also have a certain degree of transmission delay and affect efficiency of the considered system. Therefore, bearing in mind these challenges, in order to solve the formulated problem, we propose a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm using Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG) to design UAV’s trajectory via optimizing the flying angle and distance. The simulation results show that our proposed solution outperforms the traditional algorithms.

Mobile-edge computing (MEC) and wireless power transfer (WPT) are promising paradigms in the Internet of Things (IoT) era to alleviate limitations of energy and computation capacity of wireless devices (WDs). In this paper, we consider a wireless-powered MEC in which one hybrid access point (HAP) with a stable energy supply and computation capacity coordinates with a set of WDs with WPT and sensing capabilities. In the considered model, WDs first harvest RF energy transmitted by HAP and then sense data with stored energy for multiple sensing tasks. With MEC, WDs can execute tasks locally or offload data to HAP. To minimize the average latency, we formulate a joint sensing and processing optimization problem in a wireless powered-MEC system under energy and successful sensing probability constraints. This NP-hard problem can be decoupled into three subproblems. Then, we adopt an alternating algorithm to iteratively solve the WPT time, sensing time, and offloading policy subproblems. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed joint optimization algorithm.

There are numerous DC to DC energy alteration utilizations where the origin voltage needs to be transformed to a larger resulting voltage. Boost converters utilization includes energy equipment for semiconductor manufacturing supplies, ultrasound instruments, X-ray devices, solar systems, and mercury ion motors. Notably, this type of converter is used to step up the photovoltaic generator's voltage to the required load voltage in solar systems. Hence, this study's principal interest is to form and compose a boost converter and a solar charging controller circuit. This system aims to change the uncontrolled input of DC to a regulated output of DC with the wanted level of voltage. There are three critical procedures involved to produce a boost converter. The first process was to design. Next was to simulate, and the final process was to construct the boost converter and a solar charging controller circuit. The operational frequency was configured at 20 kHz, and a duty cycle of 50% was employed. In this study, the OrCAD PSpice, Multisim, and Proteus software environments were used to simulate the develop the circuit to obtain results. Every parameter value was obtained from the hardware. The values obtained were compared with the calculation, simulation, and hardware results from the boost converter circuit as a validation procedure.

Lightning is a very significant occurrence that exists on earth. One stroke of lightning on a distribution network can be enough to be the root of a power outage. Therefore, this study examines and investigates the consequences of lightning and surge arresters in the power distribution system. A lightning surge is designed to examine consequences on a network. The metal oxide surge arrester (MOSA) performance illustration is pointedly diverse during significant impulse transients are considered. The MOSA is selected after comparing the shielding stages, momentary overvoltage, and power captivation competency. Picking a greater valued surge arrester raises its momentary overvoltage scope. Hence, its capability to endure against network voltage pressures develops but decreases the arrester's safety level for a specified shielding range. However, for the fast front surge arrester, its vital features are important for overvoltage related investigations relating quick front surges. Lightning surge and surge arrester simulation were carried out in the PSCAD software environment to investigate the effects of lightning and surge arresters in the distribution system. This study's simulation results indicate the significance and requirement of lightning defense systems installation in distribution networks.

The sunlight's utilization as an illumination supply for lighting inside the building has expanded significantly since the 1900s. Lighting holds an integral part of the total electricity usage in a building. It is also one of the scopes with numerous ways to increase energy effectiveness by lowering energy usage. Hence, a natural lighting system is recommended to curtail electrical energy consumption for illumination throughout the daytime. This work aims to create a natural lighting system model to direct and address natural illuminance into challenging and complicated buildings. In this work, solar energy from the sun is conducted towards the fiber optics package's edge by utilizing a convex lens. This system aims to lower electrical-based lighting consumption during daytime illumination by transmitting the solar light over fiber optics. According to the sun's position, the system is sustained by an optic directional controller to guarantee the utmost connected illuminance. The control system would assure the highest illuminance accumulation also automatically turn on the electricity-based illumination if the acquired natural light did not satisfy the sufficient lux. The PIC16F877A microcontroller was used as a processor to power the tracking device engine. The percentage of the reduction in energy usage for daytime lighting was obtained. The obtained results show that this system will save energy during the day by 57%. Therefore, this paper represents a notable improvement in optical fiber natural lighting systems' commercialization in energy-saving and cost reduction.
