This article discusses the challenges posed by different types of renewable energy sources and electric vehicle charging demand in renewable microgrids. By formulating new control policies for charging demand and applying intelligent methods based on fuzzy cloud theory, these challenges are effectively addressed.
The high penetration of renewable energy sources in varied types along with the electric vehicles charging demand has created new challenges against the optimal operation and management of these systems. Therefore, this article attempts to formulate, model and operate the renewable microgrids considering different types of renewable sources including solar units, wind units and storages in the presence of electric vehicles. Due to the volatile and random nature of renewable sources and the charging demands by the electric vehicles, it is needed to find a solution for optimal control of these technologies. In this way, a new policy is devised for control of the charging demand in three different schemes, so-called the smart scheme, coordinated scheme and uncoordinated scheme. In order to capture the influence of uncertainties rooting from the renewable sources in the problem, a novel intelligent approach based on fuzzy cloud theory is used which generates an entropy-entropy concept for its task. Through this model, not only the uncertainty of the random variables is handled, but also the uncertainty of the probability density function (PDF) type is also deployed. In order to solve the problem, a swarm optimization based on honeybee mating algorithm (HMA) is proposed which is equipped by the polar search operators for making a symmetrical searching frame. The simulation results on a typical renewable microgrid test system advocate the quality and appropriate efficacy of the model.

Locally resonant porous phononic crystal sensor for heavy metals detection: A new approach of highly sensitive liquid sensors

Z. A. Alrowaili, M. Aouassa, M. H. Mahmoud, Karam S. El-Nasser, Hussein A. Elsayed, T. A. Taha, Ashour M. Ahmed, Ali Hajjiah, Ahmed Mehaney

Summary: A novel and highly sensitive phononic crystal (PnC) sensor was developed for detecting low concentrations (ppm scale) of CdBr2, a highly toxic heavy metal ion in fresh- water. The sensor consists of two thin rubber layers covering a one-dimensional ternary porous silicon (PSi) PnC structure. The presence of the rubber layers leads to the appearance of local resonant modes, which are significantly affected by filling the PSi layers with CdBr2 ions. This sensor design shows promising values of sensitivity, quality factor, detection limit, and damping rate, making it suitable for liquid sensing and bio-sensing applications.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the heat generation in CZTSSe thin film solar cells and the impact of elevated temperature and defects on the generation of Joule heat. It is found that both high temperature and defects can enhance the generation of Joule heat, leading to accelerated deterioration of device parameters and decomposition of materials and interfaces. The investigation of heat generation in thin film solar cells under operating or stressing conditions is rarely explored in literature.

Verification of Current-State Opacity in Discrete Event Systems by Using Basis Coverability Graphs

Haoming Zhu, Ahmed M. El-Sherbeeny, Mohammed A. El-Meligy, Amir M. Fathollahi-Fard, Zhiwu Li

Summary: This paper proposes a new approach to verify the current-state opacity of discrete event systems modeled with unbounded Petri nets. The concept of opacity verification is extended from bounded Petri nets to unbounded Petri nets. In this model, all transitions and partial places are assumed to be unobservable. A novel basis coverability graph is constructed to find whether an unbounded net system is current-state opaque. A sufficient and necessary condition is proposed for the verification of current-state opacity. An example of a manufacturing system is presented to illustrate the verification of current-state opacity for unbounded net systems.

Summary: This paper addresses the issue of sensor deception attacks in supervisory control of discrete-event systems, where an attacker can manipulate sensor readings to mislead the supervisor and cause system damage. Potential attacks are modeled using nondeterministic finite-state transducers, and a new defense strategy using insertion functions is introduced. The insertion functions alter the system's behavior by adding observable events, while a supervisor filter is constructed to recover the original language and confuse the intruder without confusing the supervisor.

Rui Zhou, Shuheng Chen, Yang Han, Qunying Liu, Zhe Chen, Weihao Hu

Summary: In power system scheduling with variable renewable energy sources, considering both spatial and temporal correlations is a challenging task due to the complex intertwining of spatiotemporal characteristics and computational complexity caused by high dimensionality. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic spatiotemporal scenario generation (PSTSG) method that generates probabilistic scenarios accounting for spatial and temporal correlations simultaneously. The method incorporates Latin hypercube sampling, copula-importance sampling theory, and probability-based scenario reduction technique to efficiently capture the spatial and temporal correlation in the dynamic optimal power flow problem. Numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy compared to existing methods.
