To enhance the charging and discharging strategy of the energy storage system (ESS) and optimize its economic efficiency, this paper proposes a novel approach based on the enhanced whale algorithm. Recognizing that the standard whale algorithm can sometimes suffer from local optima in high-dimensional multiobjective optimization, this study introduces chaotic mapping and individual information exchange mechanisms to address this challenge. The proposed algorithm explores optimal configurations for different energy device placements and capacities through encircling and bubble searches, evaluating various multiobjective functions for optimization. In addition, the algorithm refines both the system operation model and the ESS configuration model, with the objective function being the analysis of the average annual revenue of the ESS. Model testing results demonstrate that this algorithm yields more moderate energy storage (ES) capacity decay, extending operational time to 3,124 days and achieving a full-life cycle benefit of the ESS as high as 1,821,623.68 yuan. Also, our algorithm demonstrates high efficiency, with minimal test time (68.36 seconds) and quick optimization (0.031 seconds per cycle), regardless of problem complexity.

The radio spectrum is one of the world’s most highly regulated and limited natural resources. The number of wireless devices has increased dramatically in recent years, resulting in a scarcity of available radio spectrum due to static spectrum allocation. However, many studies on static allocation show that the licensed spectrum bands are underutilized. Cognitive radio has been considered as a viable solution to the issues of spectrum scarcity and underutilization. Spectrum sensing is an important part in cognitive radio for detecting spectrum holes. To detect the availability or unavailability of primary user signals, many spectrum sensing techniques such as matched filter detection, cyclostationary feature detection, and energy detection have been developed. Energy detection has gained significant attention from researchers because of its ease of implementation, fast sensing time, and low computational complexity. Conventional detectors’ performance degrades rapidly at low SNR due to their sensitivity to the uncertainty of noise. To mitigate noise uncertainty, Shannon, Tsallis, Kapur, and Renyi entropy-based detection has been used in this study, and their performances are compared to choose the best performer. According to the comparison results, the Renyi entropy outperforms other entropy methods. In this study, two-stage spectrum sensing is proposed using energy detection as the coarse stage and Renyi entropy-based detection as the fine stage to improve the performance of single-stage detection techniques. Furthermore, the performance comparison among conventional energy detection, entropy-based detection, and the proposed two-stage techniques over AWGN channel are performed. The parameters such as probability of detection, false alarm probability, miss-detection probability, and receiver operating characteristics curve are used to evaluate the performance of spectrum sensing techniques. It has been shown that the proposed two-stage sensing technique outperforms single-stage energy detection and Renyi entropy-based detection by 11 dB and 1 dB, respectively.

This paper aims to solve the optimization problems in far-field wireless power transfer systems using deep reinforcement learning techniques. The Radio-Frequency (RF) wireless transmitter is mounted on a mobile robot, which patrols near the harvested energy-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The wireless transmitter intends to continuously cruise on the designated path in order to fairly charge all the stationary IoT devices in the shortest time. The Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm is applied to determine the optimal path for the robot to cruise on. When the number of IoT devices increases, the traditional DQN cannot converge to a closed-loop path or achieve the maximum reward. In order to solve these problems, an area division Deep Q-Network (AD-DQN) is invented. The algorithm can intelligently divide the complete charging field into several areas. In each area, the DQN algorithm is utilized to calculate the optimal path. After that, the segmented paths are combined to create a closed-loop path for the robot to cruise on, which can enable the robot to continuously charge all the IoT devices in the shortest time. The numerical results prove the superiority of the AD-DQN in optimizing the proposed wireless power transfer system.

Companies that produce energy transmit it to any or all households via a power grid, which is a regulated power transmission hub that acts as a middleman. When a power grid fails, the whole area it serves is blacked out. To ensure smooth and effective functioning, a power grid monitoring system is required. Computer vision is among the most commonly utilized and active research applications in the world of video surveillance. Though a lot has been accomplished in the field of power grid surveillance, a more effective compression method is still required for large quantities of grid surveillance video data to be archived compactly and sent efficiently. Video compression has become increasingly essential with the advent of contemporary video processing algorithms. An algorithm’s efficacy in a power grid monitoring system depends on the rate at which video data is sent. A novel compression technique for video inputs from power grid monitoring equipment is described in this study. Due to a lack of redundancy in visual input, traditional techniques are unable to fulfill the current demand standards for modern technology. As a result, the volume of data that needs to be saved and handled in live time grows. Encoding frames and decreasing duplication in surveillance video using texture information similarity, the proposed technique overcomes the aforementioned problems by Robust Particle Swarm Optimization (RPSO) based run-length coding approach. Our solution surpasses other current and relevant existing algorithms based on experimental findings and assessments of different surveillance video sequences utilizing varied parameters. A massive collection of surveillance films was compressed at a 50% higher rate using the suggested approach than with existing methods.

Conventional magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer systems are faced with resonant frequency splitting phenomena and impedance mismatch when a receiving coil is placed at misaligned position. These problems can be avoided by using uniform magnetic field distribution at receiving plane. In this paper, a novel 3D transmitting coil structure with improved uniform magnetic field distribution is proposed based on a developed optimization method. The goal is to maximize the average magnetic field strength and uniform magnetic field section of the receiving plane. Hence, figures of merit (FoM1 and FoM2) are introduced and defined as product of average magnetic field strength and length or surface along which uniform magnetic field is generated, respectively. The validity of the optimization method is verified through laboratory measurements performed on the fabricated coils driven by signal generator at operating frequency of 150 kHz. Depending on the allowed ripple value and predefined coil proportions, the proposed transmitting coil structure gives the uniform magnetic field distribution across 50% to 90% of the receiving plane.

Wireless power transfer has been proved promising in various applications. The homogeneous winding method in loosely coupled transformers incurs unnecessary intense magnetic field distribution in the center and causes extra magnetic loss. An inhomogeneous winding method is proposed in this paper, and a relatively homogeneous magnetic field distribution inside the core is achieved. This paper investigated the magnetic loss of homogeneous winding and inhomogeneous winding for wireless power transfer. A theoretical model was built to evaluate magnetic loss under inhomogeneous winding. The coupling coefficient and magnetic loss were investigated individually and comparisons were made between different width ratio combinations. Theoretical analysis was validated in experiments.

The widespread deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) requires the development of new embedded systems, which will provide a diverse array of different intelligent functionalities.

Wireless energy harvesting is an effective way to power condition monitoring sensors which are the basis of smart grid. In this paper, a new free-standing I-shaped core is designed to scavenge electromagnetic energy from large alternating current. An I-shaped core can guide more magnetic flux by adding a pair of magnetic flux collector plates at both ends of the rod core. It weakens the core demagnetization field and enables more energy to be collected. Since a magnetic field line can be bent with high-permeability soft magnetic materials, a highly efficient grid-shaped coil is proposed. Compared with the I-shaped coil, its weight is lighter and power density is higher. A Mn-Zn ferrite with high relative permeability and ultralow conductivity can effectively reduce eddy current loss, which proves to be the most suitable material. The measured open circuit voltage agrees well with the theoretical value. The experimental results show that the output power can reach 4.5 mW when the I-shaped coil is placed in a magnetic flux density of 6.5 μTrms. The power density is 7.28 μW/cm3. Therefore, the proposed design can be very effective for supplying condition monitoring sensors.

Telemetry acquisition from rodents is important in biomedical research, where rodent behavior data is used to study disease models. Telemetry devices for such data acquisition require a long-term powering method. Wireless power transfer (WPT) via magnetic resonant coupling can provide continuous power to multiple small telemetric devices. Our loosely coupled WPT (LCWPT) system consists of a stationary primary coil and multiple freely moving secondary coils. Our previous LCWPT system was designed to transfer reasonable power to secondary coils at poor orientations but transfers excessively high amounts of power at favorable orientations. Reasonable power is needed for telemetry and radio electronics, but highly induced voltage on the secondary coil creates excess energy which must be dissipated by previous devices, and caused problems (localized heat damage and variations in component properties) leading to drift in operating frequency. To remedy these two problems, a novel scheme is proposed to automatically tune or detune the resonant frequency of the secondary circuit. Our closed-loop controlled tuning or detuning (CTD) approach can be used to prevent excessive power transfer by detuning, or to improve power transfer by tuning, depending on the need. Furthermore, this novel CTD scheme facilitates the use of multiple telemetric devices.
