ABSTRACT

Wind is one of the most widely used renewable energy sources due to its cost-effectiveness, power requirements, operation, and performance. There are many challenges in wind turbines, such as wind fluctuation, pitch control, and generator speed control. When the wind speed exceeds its rated value, the pitch angle controller limits the generator output power to its rated value. In this research work, several soft computing techniques have been implemented for pitch control of variable-speed wind turbine. The data is collected for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory offshore 5 MW baseline wind turbine. Wind speed, tip speed ratio, and power coefficient are taken as inputs, and pitch angle as output. Machine learning and artificial intelligence-based techniques such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), multilayer perceptron feed-forward neural network (MLPFFNN), and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are implemented on MATLAB, and their results are evaluated in terms of mean square error (MSE) and root mean square error (RMSE). The controllers have been implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to schedule the wind turbine blade pitch angle and keep the output power stable at the rated value. The experimental results show that RNN provided the best results for 15 neurons in hidden layers and 1000 epochs with MSE of 3.28e-11 and RMSE of 5.54e-06, followed by MLPFFNN with MSE of 2.17e-10 and RMSE of 1.56e-05, ANFIS with MSE of 8.5e-05 and RMSE of 9.22e-03, and FLC with MSE of 6.25e-04 and RMSE of 0.025. The proposed scheme is more reliable and robust and can be easily implemented on a physical setup by using interfacing cards such as dSPACE, NI cards, and data acquisition cards.

ABSTRACT

Prompt attitude stabilization is more challenging in Nano CubeSat due to its minimal capacity, weight, energy, and volume-constrained architecture. Fixed gain non-adaptive classical proportional integral derivative control methodology is ineffective to provide optimal attitude stability in low earth orbit under significant environmental disturbances. Therefore, an artificial neural network with fuzzy inference design is developed in a simulation environment to control the angular velocity and quaternions of a CubeSat by autonomous gain tuning of the proportional-derivative controller according to space perturbations. It elucidates the dynamics and kinematics of the CubeSat attitude model with reaction wheels and low earth orbit disruptions, i.e., gravity gradient torque, atmospheric torque, solar radiation torque, and residual magnetic torque. The effectiveness of the proposed ANFIS-PD control scheme shows that the CubeSat retained the three-axis attitude controllability based on initial quaternions, the moment of inertia, Euler angle error, attitude angular rate, angular velocity rate as compared to PID, ANN, and RNN methodologies. Outcomes from the simulation indicated that the proposed controller scheme achieved minimum root mean square errors that lead towards rapid stability in roll, pitch, and yaw axis respectively within 20 s of simulation time.

ABSTRACT

The major challenge faced by autonomous vehicles today is driving through busy roads without getting into an accident, especially with a pedestrian. To avoid collision with pedestrians, the vehicle requires the ability to communicate with a pedestrian to understand their actions. The most challenging task in research on computer vision is to detect pedestrian activities, especially at nighttime. The Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) has been developed for driving and parking support for vehicles to visualize sense, send and receive information from the environment but it lacks to detect nighttime pedestrian actions. This article proposes a framework based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) using Scale Invariant Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks (SIFRCNN) technologies to efficiently detect pedestrian operations through which the vehicle, as agents train themselves from the environment and are forced to maximize the reward. The SIFRCNN has reduced the running time of detecting pedestrian operations from road images by incorporating Region Proposal Network (RPN) computation. Furthermore, we have used Reinforcement Learning (RL) for optimizing the Q-values and training itself to maximize the reward after getting the state from the SIFRCNN. In addition, the latest incarnation of SIFRCNN achieves near-real-time object detection from road images. The proposed SIFRCNN has been tested on KAIST, City Person, and Caltech datasets. The experimental results show an average improvement of 2.3% miss rate of pedestrian detection at nighttime compared to the other CNN-based pedestrian detectors.
