The bat algorithm (BA) is a heuristic optimization method based on the loudness and the rate of ultrasonic bursts. It has been simulated bats use echolocation for foraging. It has been proven that this algorithm has a good ability to search for the global optimum, but it suffers from slow searching speed in the last iterations. This paper proposes a recover fractional Lévy flight bat algorithm (rFLFBA) to improve BA by adjusting the inertia weight of velocity update instead of fractional Lévy flight from fractional Lévy flight bat algorithm (FLFBA). rFLFBA is deployed as learning method for artificial neural networks (ANNs) to increase the efficiencies in avoiding the local minima problem and the slow convergence rate of bat algorithms. The results are compared with a Particle Swarm optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSOGSA), Grey Wolf optimizer (GWO), and FLFBA learning methods for ANNs. The resulting classification rate of ANNs trained with GWO, PSOGSA, and FLFBA is also examined. The simulation results show that rFLFBA better than GWO and PSOGSA for training ANNs in terms of convergence curve. It is also proven that an ANN trained with rFLFBA has better accuracy than one trained with FLFBA.

The purpose of this article is to study the effect of different temperatures on the clearing of dry pressboard insulation and compare the effects of different temperatures on the process of impregnating pressboard with transformer oil mixed with nanoparticles. In this research, a conducting magnetite ($Fe_{3}O_{4}$) nanoparticle with a size not exceeding 50 nm is selected, and the concentration of nanoparticles used in this research is 0.01% of the volume of transformer oil. In addition, Span 80 surfactants or emulsifiers have been selected to improve the compatibility of transformer oil mixed with nanoparticles. In this research article, the electrical properties of pressboard insulators are tested with an AC voltage and the lightning impulse voltage test on both the positive and negative poles according to international standards. The test results showed that by drying pressboard insulation at 105°C and then impregnating pressboard insulation in transformer oil mixed with nanoparticles at 80°C, the pressboard insulation was dielectrically strong for AC voltage and had the best lightning impulse voltage.

In this paper, we use transfer learning technique to train a custom Thai Buddha amulet coin classifier. The trained model is deployed on a server allowing a dedicated mobile application to request for class prediction results. The trained model achieves good accuracy using relatively small training image dataset. It is important to note that the primary objective of this work is not to evaluate the authenticity and quality of an amulet, but rather to create a prototype system that can be used as a tool to classify types of amulets.

This paper proposes a linear range enhancement circuit for Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT). The nonlinear is compensated with a signal obtained from an inverse hyperbolic tangent function circuit and with the appropriate gain settings within the circuit. The efficiency of the proposed circuit depends on the accuracy of the signal obtained by the inverse hyperbolic tangent function circuit. The simulation results with Pspice® program demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed circuit for enhancing the linear operating distance of the transducer. Under a relative error a(%) of 2.2%, the linear operating range is improved from ± 9mm to ± 35mm for LVDT Kn=250(kn=0.1) at ± 37mm full stroke length, which is much wider compared to the signal obtained from the transducer before the improvement.

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) tends to increase steadily on a global scale. This causes the challenges in energy market for EVs in terms of electricity costs and technical effects on distribution systems. This paper proposes a centralized market platform managed by a distribution system operator (DSO) to determine the appropriate and appealing electricity costs for charging an EV without violating the power system’s limits: bus voltage level, line capacity, and transformer loading limits. To complete the operations of the centralized market platform, the EV power and the bidding price from each EV owner who wishes to participate in the centralized market platform are collected through a single auction. The electricity costs for charging an EV are calculated by taking into account the maximum EV power as determined by the DSO so that the power system’ limits are not violated. This paper modifies and employs a Thailand-typical 380-V distribution test system during off-peak and peak hours for the case study. The results show that during off-peak hours, the electricity costs for charging an EV range between 2.40 and 2.50 THB/kWh, while during peak hours, the electricity costs range between 3.50 and 5.40 THB/kWh. The decrease in EV charging costs will encourage EV owners to utilize their EVs.

An accurate estimation of the state of charge (SoC) of lithium titanate (LTO) batteries is required for their effective operation and management. In this study, we propose an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) approach for estimating the SoC of LTO batteries, which are challenging to assess due to the nonlinear voltage-SoC relationship and aging impact. Our approach uses a state and measurement model based on LTO’s electrochemical characteristics and employs sigma points and weights to address nonlinearities. According to the findings of our research, the UKF-based methodology has high accuracy, rapid convergence, and resilience to discharge rate, outperforming or matching the capabilities of existing state-of-the-art approaches. This work provides a novel and effective solution for LTO battery SoC estimation, useful for applications in electric vehicles, energy storage, and smart grid energy systems.

The railway signaling system is an important part of the rail systems that is used for railway traffic control and safety. At present, most of railway signaling labs rely on physical models and devices which require large space and regular maintenance. Emerging of Virtual Reality (VR) offers more flexibility to many applications including education, training, and testing since its operations are based on software and visualization. Using VR allows installation, updating, adjustment and maintenance to be performed more easily and effectively with effective cost, time, and space requirement. This paper aims to develop a virtual reality lab for training in railway signaling and control. The VR lab of railway signaling simulation consists of two stations, trains, tracks, a virtual dashboard and signaling posts including point machines. All models used in this paper are created by Blender which is a free software tool for 3D modeling. The VR environment of the lab is created by Unity which is a software platform for VR development. The functions of all developed models are programed using C# language. The basic route setting and the usage of subsidiary signal e.g., call-on and shut signal are demonstrated in this paper. The test results ensure the capability of the developed VR lab for training the target groups including students, engineers, and train drivers.

Ground station receivers or networks’ location uses different geodetic datums. The geodetic datum defines size and shape of the Earth model and origin of orientation of coordinate systems used to map the Earth. They are modified to converge to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). The Thailand geodetic reference frame has been maintained by the Royal Thai Survey Department (RTSD); currently, it is based on GNSS permanent networks. Precise orbit and clock solutions, earth orientation parameters and tropospheric gradients are applied as fixing parameters to estimate station positions using a network approach where all station coordinates are simultaneously adjusted; defined as a zero-order network. They are determined with respected to ITRF with centimetre precisions and accuracies. The shape of the Earth varies over time due to oceanic tides and plate movements. Changing are more gradually when earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen. ITRF and other geodetic datums are changing continually; therefore, frame transformations are required. The latest adjusted coordinates are based on ITRF2005, 2008 and 2014 frame and velocities are set at the epoch 2008.83, 2013.81 and 2021.93 respectively. Constraints are cast in form of transformation parameters. The grid shift is then generated to transform from global coordinate systems to local geocentric reference frames. GNSS measurements obtained from another set of ground stations are used as check coordinates. Transformed coordinates are at 1 centimetre-level of accuracy both horizontally and vertically at 95 percent confidence level. Coordinate transformations can be applied to map Thailand based on one map on one datum policy.
