Cooperative Distributed Beamforming Design for Multi-RIS Aided Cell-Free Systems

Cell-free systems significantly improve network capacity by enabling joint user service without cell boundaries,eliminating intercell interference.However,to satisfy further capacity demands,it leads to high-cost problems of both hardware and power consumption.In this paper,we investigate multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)aided cell-free systems where RISs are introduced to improve spectrum efficiency in an energy-efficient way.To overcome the centralized high complexity and avoid frequent information exchanges,a cooperative distributed beamforming design is proposed to maximize the weighted sum-rate performance.In particular,the alternating optimization method is utilized with the distributed closed-form solution of active beamforming being derived locally at access points,and phase shifts are obtained centrally based on the Riemannian conjugate gradient(RCG)manifold method.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design whose performance is comparable to the centralized scheme and show great superiority of the RISs-aided system over the conventional cellular and cell-free system.

A Distributed Power Trading Scheme Based on Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence in Smart Grids

As an emerging hot technology,smart grids(SGs)are being employed in many fields,such as smart homes and smart cities.Moreover,the application of artificial intelligence(AI)in SGs has promoted the development of the power industry.However,as users’demands for electricity increase,traditional centralized power trading is unable to well meet the user demands and an increasing number of small distributed generators are being employed in trading activities.This not only leads to numerous security risks for the trading data but also has a negative impact on the cost of power generation,electrical security,and other aspects.Accordingly,this study proposes a distributed power trading scheme based on blockchain and AI.To protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and producers,credibility is used as an indicator to restrict untrustworthy behavior.Simultaneously,the reliability and communication capabilities of nodes are considered in block verification to improve the transaction confirmation efficiency,and a weighted communication tree construction algorithm is designed to achieve superior data forwarding.Finally,AI sensors are set up in power equipment to detect electricity generation and transmission,which alert users when security hazards occur,such as thunderstorms or typhoons.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can not only improve the trading security but also reduce system communication delays.

Comparative Analysis for Evaluating Wind Energy Resources Using Intelligent Optimization Algorithms and Numerical Methods

Statistical distributions are used to model wind speed,and the twoparameters Weibull distribution has proven its effectiveness at characterizing wind speed.Accurate estimation of Weibull parameters,the scale(c)and shape(k),is crucial in describing the actual wind speed data and evaluating the wind energy potential.Therefore,this study compares the most common conventional numerical(CN)estimation methods and the recent intelligent optimization algorithms(IOA)to show how precise estimation of c and k affects the wind energy resource assessments.In addition,this study conducts technical and economic feasibility studies for five sites in the northern part of Saudi Arabia,namely Aljouf,Rafha,Tabuk,Turaif,and Yanbo.Results exhibit that IOAs have better performance in attaining optimal Weibull parameters and provided an adequate description of the observed wind speed data.Also,with six wind turbine technologies rating between 1 and 3MW,the technical and economic assessment results reveal that the CN methods tend to overestimate the energy output and underestimate the cost of energy($/kWh)compared to the assessments by IOAs.The energy cost analyses show that Turaif is the windiest site,with an electricity cost of$0.016906/kWh.The highest wind energy output is obtained with the wind turbine having a rated power of 2.5 MW at all considered sites with electricity costs not exceeding$0.02739/kWh.Finally,the outcomes of this study exhibit the potential of wind energy in Saudi Arabia,and its environmental goals can be acquired by harvesting wind energy.

Data-driven intelligent monitoring system for key variables in wastewater treatment process

In wastewater treatment process(WWTP), the accurate and real-time monitoring values of key variables are crucial for the operational strategies. However, most of the existing methods have difficulty in obtaining the real-time values of some key variables in the process. In order to handle this issue, a data-driven intelligent monitoring system, using the soft sensor technique and data distribution service, is developed to monitor the concentrations of effluent total phosphorous(TP) and ammonia nitrogen(NH_4-N). In this intelligent monitoring system, a fuzzy neural network(FNN) is applied for designing the soft sensor model, and a principal component analysis(PCA) method is used to select the input variables of the soft sensor model. Moreover, data transfer software is exploited to insert the soft sensor technique to the supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA) system. Finally, this proposed intelligent monitoring system is tested in several real plants to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the monitoring performance.

Fine-Grained Resource Provisioning and Task Scheduling for Heterogeneous Applications in Distributed Green Clouds

An increasing number of enterprises have adopted cloud computing to manage their important business applications in distributed green cloud(DGC)systems for low response time and high cost-effectiveness in recent years.Task scheduling and resource allocation in DGCs have gained more attention in both academia and industry as they are costly to manage because of high energy consumption.Many factors in DGCs,e.g.,prices of power grid,and the amount of green energy express strong spatial variations.The dramatic increase of arriving tasks brings a big challenge to minimize the energy cost of a DGC provider in a market where above factors all possess spatial variations.This work adopts a G/G/1 queuing system to analyze the performance of servers in DGCs.Based on it,a single-objective constrained optimization problem is formulated and solved by a proposed simulated-annealing-based bees algorithm(SBA)to find SBA can minimize the energy cost of a DGC provider by optimally allocating tasks of heterogeneous applications among multiple DGCs,and specifying the running speed of each server and the number of powered-on servers in each GC while strictly meeting response time limits of tasks of all applications.Realistic databased experimental results prove that SBA achieves lower energy cost than several benchmark scheduling methods do.

Spatial distribution modeling of subsurface bedrock using a developed automated intelligence deep learning procedure:A case study in Sweden

Due to associated uncertainties,modelling the spatial distribution of depth to bedrock(DTB) is an important and challenging concern in many geo-engineering applications.The association between DTB,the safety and economy of design structures implies that generating more precise predictive models can be of vital interest.In the present study,the challenge of applying an optimally predictive threedimensional(3D) spatial DTB model for an area in Stockholm,Sweden was addressed using an automated intelligent computing design procedure.The process was developed and programmed in both C++and Python to track their performance in specified tasks and also to cover a wide variety of diffe rent internal characteristics and libraries.In comparison to the ordinary Kriging(OK) geostatistical tool,the superiority of the developed automated intelligence system was demonstrated through the analysis of confusion matrices and the ranked accuracies of different statistical errors.The re sults showed that in the absence of measured data,the intelligence models as a flexible and efficient alternative approach can account for associated uncertainties,thus creating more accurate spatial 3D models and providing an appropriate prediction at any point in the subsurface of the study area.

e-Automation,an Architecture for Distributed Industrial Automation Systems

Due to the complexity of modern industrial systems, a conventional automation system is not capable of providing sufficient information management and high-level intelligent approaches, as achieving these functionalities requires the support of comprehensive data management and coordination between system devices and heterogenous information. This paper proposes the concept of e-Automation, in which computer networking and distributed intelligence agent technologies are applied to industrial automation systems, and presents a hardware and software architecture that implements this concept. An open infrastructure based on multi-agent systems is employed in the proposed architecture of e-Automation, which aims to allow the implementation of diverse tasks and to permit greater configurability than can be obtained from a traditional system. To evaluate our proposed e-Automation concept, this paper presents a case study of substation information management which adopts the proposed e-Automation architecture in power system domain.

Serverless distributed learning for smart grid analytics

The digitization,informatization,and intelligentization of physical systems require strong support from big data analysis.However,due to restrictions on data security and privacy and concerns about the cost of big data collection,transmission,and storage,it is difficult to do data aggregation in real-world power systems,which directly retards the effective implementation of smart grid analytics.Federated learning,an advanced distributed learning method proposed by Google,seems a promising solution to the above issues.Nevertheless,it relies on a server node to complete model aggregation and the framework is limited to scenarios where data are independent and identically distributed.Thus,we here propose a serverless distributed learning platform based on blockchain to solve the above two issues.In the proposed platform,the task of machine learning is performed according to smart contracts,and encrypted models are aggregated via a mechanism of knowledge distillation.Through this proposed method,a server node is no longer required and the learning ability is no longer limited to independent and identically distributed scenarios.Experiments on a public electrical grid dataset will verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A New Approach of Intelligent Data Retrieval Paradigm

What is a real time agent,how does it remedy ongoing daily frustrations for users,and how does it improve the retrieval performance in World Wide Web?These are the main question we focus on this manuscript.In many distributed information retrieval systems,information in agents should be ranked based on a combination of multiple criteria.Linear combination of ranks has been the dominant approach due to its simplicity and effectiveness.Such a combination scheme in distributed infrastructure requires that the ranks in resources or agents are comparable to each other before combined.The main challenge is transforming the raw rank values of different criteria appropriately to make them comparable before any combination.Different ways for ranking agents make this strategy difficult.In this research,we will demonstrate how to rank Web documents based on resource-provided information how to combine several resources raking schemas in one time.The proposed system was implemented specifically in data provided by agents to create a comparable combination for different attributes.The proposed approach was tested on the queries provided by Text Retrieval Conference(TREC).Experimental results showed that our approach is effective and robust compared with offline search platforms.
