Low cost photovoltaic monitoring system based on lorawan network

Renewable energy, especially solar energy, is increasingly popular in both home and industrial sectors due to globalization. This thesis investigates the design and implementation of a low-cost photovoltaic (PV) monitoring system using the LoRaWAN network. Because it offers a virtual environment for modelling, evaluating, and experimenting with complex systems, the simulation of monitoring a PV system is essential for comprehending system behaviour. The system seeks to provide a low-cost solution for monitoring energy and environmental parameters in PV systems by using the features of LoRaWAN technology for long-range, low-power communication. This thesis offers a thorough analysis of the application of Internet of Things technology for the real-time monitoring of PV system performance. In order to improve the overall efficiency of PV systems, the goal is to offer a dependable and scalable system that facilitates ongoing monitoring, data collecting, and analysis. The system addresses the issues of cost-effectiveness, scalability, and remote monitoring in PV systems by including sensors to capture vital data, such as solar panel output, battery condition, and ambient variables. A LoRaWAN network, which offers long-range and low-power communication and supports data transfer, is perfect for off-grid and remote photovoltaic systems. By adding LoRaWAN technology, systems become more efficient and scalable, opening the door for widespread use of sustainable energy solutions. PV systems are now affordable enough for a broad spectrum of customers, including those who live in remote or underdeveloped areas. The system offers real-time data on PV system performance, facilitating preventive maintenance and well-informed decision-making, according to the findings of the field testing. The data from the DC voltage sensor and PZEM-004T V3 module provide crucial insights into the dynamic behavior of the electrical system under observation. The system's need for electrical power is implied by the continuous increase in active power consumption (Pac), which went from 933 to 2107 Watts. In the MATLAB/Simulink system, the measurement results are concurrently entered into the PV model enabling theoretical simulation and graphically shown as a dashboard. On the same software platform, the assessment and defect detection functionalities for PV modules within real-world operating circumstances are carried out and presented. The capabilities of visual monitoring, assessment, and defect detection of the suggested system have been shown with adequate confidence and accuracy. The suggested system has several benefits over the well-developed ones, including the ability to combine all visualisation monitoring, assessment, and fault detection inside the MATLAB/Simulink environment and to decrease both wire and hardware configuration.

Optimizing network performance rough image processing techniques in omputer science it

A fundamental apparatus for exploring digital protection risks in Internet of Things (IoT) networks is the Botnet of Things (BoT-IoT) dataset. This examination proposes an original way to deal with order BoT-IoT information by changing over the crude information into RGB images and afterward applying calculations, for example, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Irregular Woodland to a helpful classification model. The BoT-IoT dataset is at first changed over into RGB images, where each component vector addresses a pixel in the image. To protect the spatial data of the first information, these photographs are in this manner saved in the.png design. We might take benefit of the strong capacities of example acknowledgment and image regulation procedures for IoT information examination with this change interaction. The RGB images delivered from the BoT-IoT dataset were then sorted utilizing an aggregate classification method. The ensemble includes the most striking Irregular Woodland classifiers, KNN, and SVM, every one of which contributes unmistakable qualities to the general classification issue. To show up at the last classification choice, the estimates of discrete classifiers are shared utilizing a weighted democratic system. The recommended strategy is compelling, as proven by trial discoveries on the BoT-IoT dataset, where the ensemble model accomplishes a great exactness of generally 99.36%. What's more, the model performs well with regards to precision, review, and F1-score, exhibiting its adequacy in isolating noxious action from harmless movement in Internet of Things networks. Inside and out review was likewise finished to explain every classifier's commitment inside the ensemble setting. This examination uncovers the fitting properties of the classifiers: Arbitrary Timberland consolidates the limit of ensemble learning for upgraded speculation, KNN makes utilization of nearby neighbourhood data, and SVM succeeds at dealing with testing choice limits. In any case, this work offers a new way to deal with BoT-IoT information recording using ensemble learning strategies and RGB image models. The extraordinary exactness achieved features this strategy's capability to improve digital protection in Internet of Things networks. Through effective distinguishing proof and alleviation of pernicious activities, the proposed approach adds to the advancement of IoT security exploration and safeguards networked frameworks from arising digital threats.

Hybrid nature-inspired optimization for stability and disturbance rejection in tethered unmanned aerial vehicles.

The study proposes a new hybrid optimization model that is intended to be used in the design of a high-level attitude control system to be applied in tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The suggested solution is based on a Fractional-Order Proportional-Derivative-Integral (FOPDD-I) controller alongside a hybrid optimum algorithm that will be a fusion of Harris Hawks Optimization, the Eagle Strategy, and Particle Swarm Optimization (HHHO-ES-PSO). A systematic comparison of the optimized FOPDD-I controller performance with a number of benchmark control schemes is made, such as the Conventional PID, Cascade PID, classical Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC), and Advanced ADRC. Extensive simulations with MATLAB indicate that the HHHO-ES-PSO-tuned FOPDD-I controller has a better dynamic behavior, which is characterized by higher stability, quicker transient response, and better disturbance rejection than the traditional ones. The quantitative results of optimization show an increase in the proportional gain (K_p) by 56.5% and in the integral (K_i) gain by 65.2% and a reduction in the derivative gain (K_d) by 98.4% effectively reducing the yaw overshoot and oscillatory behavior. In addition, the parameters of the fractional-order were also adjusted in an adaptive manner, which resulted in adaptability gains of 12.5% and 14.7% in nonlinear dynamic conditions. Conversely, traditional PID and Cascade PID controllers only offered small gains in tuning, whereas classical and improved ADRC methods demonstrated moderate, but relatively small, gains in performance. The results of the study have also demonstrated that a significant portion of the value of applying a fractional-order control in conjunction with hybrid metaheuristic optimization lies in the fact that the suggested model, FOPDD-I controller, is a powerful and adaptable approach to tethered UAV attitude control in highly complex and uncertain operating conditions.

Eliptik eğri uygulaması nesnelerin interneti için kriptografi(IOT) güvenlik

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is essential to the fields of industry, healthcare, and information technology, among others. It is made up of numerous interconnected things that are in communication with one another. Because approved objects, in addition to users, may access data regarding the Internet of Things. For IoT applications and technology to be widely adopted, security is a necessary component. To improve the security of the IoT data, this study suggests an Elliptic Curve Cryptography approach. Two keys are used in Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC): a public key and a private key. The user uses the private key for encryption, and the public key is used for user identification during authentication. Similar to this, using the private key, the sender encrypts; if secrecy is desired, using the public key, one can decrypt the communication. Selecting the private key is a problem with every public key. Random selection of small values raises concerns about the overall algorithm's security. considering the values. This study suggests using the Cuckoo Search Algorithm to select values at random.

Vıt-skınnet: Segmentasyon mekanizması ile etkili cilt kanserinin tespiti için yeni bir vizyon transformatör tabanlı ShufflenetV3 modeli

Melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer, claims hundreds of lives every year. Skin cancer typically affects areas of skin that are exposed to sunlight on a frequent basis, such as the "legs, face, arms, and neck". By visually examining lesions with pigment on the skin, melanoma can be identified early and treated with a straightforward method of removal of the malignant cells. However, the examination of the skin by the naked eye alone has a restricted and inconsistent accuracy owing to the scarcity of dermatologists. This also leads the patients to undergo multiple biopsies and thus hampers the course of treatment. The automatic identification of lesions from the dermoscopy images involves several obstacles due to the intricate lesion characteristics and as a result of the detection backdrop. There is a dearth of research on major intra-class variations and inter-class similarities of lesion characteristics, and the prior solutions primarily concentrate on employing larger and more complicated systems for detecting the presence of skin cancer with much-enhanced detection accuracy. In order to address various issues with the traditional methods, it is therefore increasingly crucial to create a successful structure for the identification of skin cancer through the use of deep learning approaches. The implemented skin cancer detection and classification model has three crucial procedures to perform. The collection of dermoscopy images, the segmentation process for segmenting the images, and the detection phase are the three main stages of the implemented skin cancer detection system that is put into practice. First, the benchmark images are utilized to provide the images that are needed for the tests. Once the images are gathered, then the segmentation phase is executed. The segmentation step receives the gathered images as its input. Then, the Residual DenseUNet++ (ResDenseUNet++) is used to carry out an effective segmentation. At this point, the resultant segmented image is provided by the developed ResDenseUNet++, which is then considered for the later stage's inputs. Additionally, the segmented image is then given to the feature extraction process by which the gradient filter image and the texture pattern image are obtained. Additionally, the obtained image results are then inputted for the phase of skin cancer detection. During the detection phase, the newly developed ShufflenetV3 based on Vision Transformer (ViT-ShufflenetV3) is implemented and used to effectively recognize skin cancer. In many experimental validations, the recommended skin cancer identification system has ensured a more precise classification outcome regarding skin cancer than other traditional models.

Artık dikkat unet++ kullanılan segmentasyon mekanizması ile desteklenmiş etkili bir kademeli resnet tabanlı tüberküloz tespit çerçeves

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the only primary illness without accurate quick point-of-care diagnosis evaluations. Failing to stop TB transmission is mainly caused by being unable to identify and address all infected individuals with tuberculosis in the lungs in sufficient time, enabling the spread of TB among populations to keep happening. The present gold-standard methods for diagnosing TB are based in laboratories, and numerous tests across a period of time might be required until an outcome is obtained. TB triggered by Mycobacterium TB remains an infectious illness that is one of the most lethal in the entire globe. Several attempts are currently undertaken to precisely identify TB using "Chest X-ray (CXR)" images. Furthermore, novel diagnostic methods for diagnosing current TB illness, screening for dormant TB being infected and finding resistance to drug Mycobacterium TB isolates are now accessible. CXRs are assessed in medical practice by qualified doctors in the identification of TB. However, this is a laborious and arbitrary procedure. Differences in the diagnosis of illness based on radiographs are unavoidable. The development of a comprehensive point-of-care diagnostic is slow, while the identification of new biomarkers continues difficult. Despite successful methods for prevention, worldwide disease prevention requires a substantial proportion of prompt disease diagnosis and rapid treatment. Early identification of cases is based on the reliability of tests, affordability, availability, and difficulty, yet it also relies on legislative determination and donor commitment to provide viii ideal, long-term medical treatment to people most impacted by the TB and influenza outbreaks. As a result, diagnosing TB electronically using x-ray images is essential to assist patients as well as doctors. So, this work suggested an advanced detection framework for TB based on deep structure networks to effectively detect TB from patients' X-ray images. Initially, the X-ray images are gathered from the standard data sources. The collected images are given to the segmentation process, where Residual Attention Unet++ (RA-Unet++) is utilized for effectively segmenting the X-ray images. Then the segmented images are fed to Cascaded ResNet (C-ResNet) for providing a better detection performance. The evaluation of the recommended detection framework for TB based on deep structure networks is conducted to ensure the superior performance of the system. The results will ensure the excellent performance of the developed system by providing high-accuracy detection outcomes.

Design of advanced anomaly detection system based on hybrid machine learning technique with optimized feature selection in wireless sensor network

At present, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a pivotal role in the wireless communication system that works based on a large number of sensor nodes. The development of the WSN has become more popular and the nature of versatility resulted in more security concerns and making it hard for the investigation to prevent the anomaly in it. One of the essential and challenging tasks in WSN is the security concern. Detecting the anomaly present in the network becomes the major challenge to ensure the security of WSN. In general, WSNs are affected by a different type of threats that tends the nodes to get damaged and form the wrong determination. Therefore, it is necessary to identify anomalous to minimize the false alarm. Moreover, the quality of the data gathered by the sensor nodes is mainly affected by the anomalies that are produced because of different reasons like reading errors, malicious attacks, failures, and unusual events. Hence it is significant to process the anomaly detection to ensure the quality of the sensor data before it is used to make decisions. In WSN, anomaly detection is the significant process to determine the anomaly or unusual event. However, timely anomaly identification is more complex to function to execute reliably in real-time. For the secure and reliable operation in the WSN, effective anomaly detection is more necessary. However, the standard anomaly detection techniques often fail to adequately secure the privacy of the data and identify the complex, particular, and unique breaches in the WSN. Also, the present anomaly detection models only process under the stationary environment and need to keep all the training data in the node. To address these limitations, a novel Hybrid Machine Learning Technique (HMLT) is introduced to effectively detect the presence of anomalies in WSN. The advanced hybrid technique is designed to enhance the detection performance and safeguard privacy. Initially, the required data from the WSN is collected from the available data resource. Further, the significant feature from the raw data is selected using the optimal feature selection process. Here the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (SBOA) is used to achieve the optimal feature selection. Finally, the HMLT is implemented to perform the detection task, in which the hybrid classifier is the combination of the Deep Belief Network (DBN) along with the Bayesian Learning (BL). The model is specifically developed to identify the occurrence of anomalies in WSN using the HMLT for a given dataset. Extensive comparative analysis is performed to analyze the detection capability of the designed approach along with the conventional model. The resulting outcome defines that the proposed approach performs greater in detecting the anomaly than other standard modelsAt present, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a pivotal role in the wireless communication system that works based on a large number of sensor nodes.

An improved image steganography scheme based on deep learningapproach and quadruple security layers

This thesis intends a fresh approach for the improvement of dataset secreting in images via the ACO algorithm. Digital image steganography requires a balance between two essential goals: this provides the maximum optimization of the concealment of data; it would also reduce the possibility of the image from existence noticed via optimizing the quality of the original image to be concealed. Many current steganographic methods tend to sacrifice the goals above and below at some point. The thesis introduces the "ACO-LSB" approach, which is designed to enhance embedding capacity using a gray-scale shelter image to hold secret dataset through adding an extra bit-pair in byte (b) to make a checksum of the integrity of the image or a check sum of the hidden message. The method encrypts secret information as the pairs of bits and embeds into the uncompressed images in grey scale. The algorithm used in the ACO is the adaptive scanning to find pixel locations and increase the data embedding capacity while decreasing the strong impact on the image quality. Otherwise, the specific pheromone values are changed in a cyclical fashion to avoid problems with stagnation in the context of the overall optimization process – the values should be ideal for proper selection of pixels. The performance results of the ACO-LSB method are outstanding and this research confirms that they enabled enhancement in the subsequent image embodiment, with up to a 30% increase in embedding capacity compared to traditional methods.

Geliştirilmiş bir ağ girişim tespit sistemi için ağ trafik özelliklerinin ana bilgisayar trafik özellikleriyle birleştirilmesi

Network security is a key concern in today's linked world as cyber threats grow more sophisticated and ubiquitous. Traditional Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) generally fall short owing to their dependence on predetermined signatures and restricted detection scope, exposing substantial gaps in efficiently recognizing new and unanticipated intrusions. This research tackles these difficulties by merging network and host traffic data with sophisticated deep learning algorithms to boost NIDS performance. Utilizing the Network Intrusion Detection dataset, which comprises multiple intrusion scenarios replicated in a military network context, our technique involves painstaking data collection, preprocessing, and feature extraction. We employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess these data, applying rigorous feature selection and dimensionality reduction to enhance model performance. The findings reveal that our deep learning-based NIDS achieves an amazing detection accuracy of 98.5%, exceeding current approaches and successfully resolving real-world cybersecurity problems. This complete approach not only develops NIDS technology but also provides a practical solution for boosting network security across many applications, therefore contributing to the development of intrusion detection systems.

NASA promise veri setlerinde derin ve makine öğrenme modellerinin yazılım hata tahmini performansının izlenmesi

In an era where software reliability and quality assurance have gained paramount importance, this study employs advanced machine learning models to predict software defects, thereby contributing to a refined understanding of their potential applications in enhancing software reliability. The focal point of the investigation is the PROMISE20 dataset, a collection of data from various NASA software projects. This dataset is segmented into three sub-datasets (CM1, JM1, KC1), with each instance marked by a binary dependent variable (indicating defect status) and independent variables based on Halstead and McCabe static code metrics. The study undertakes a comparative analysis between deep learning models, specifically LSTM and LSTM-GRU, and traditional machine learning models such as the XGBoost Classifier. Their proficiency in predicting software defects is gauged by assessing their accuracy and F1-scores. Upon examination, LSTM and LSTM-GRU deep learning models outperform with superior predictive performance, demonstrating accuracy rates of 88% and F1-scores of 0.89 and 0.90, respectively. In the realm of traditional machine learning, the XGBoost Classifier emerged as the top performer, boasting an accuracy rate of 0.88. However, the findings also underscore the need for further exploration. The study points to the necessity of examining additional datasets, exploring diverse models, optimizing model hyperparameters, and enhancing model interpretability to ascertain the optimal choice of model for software defect prediction. This research enriches the ongoing discourse in software reliability and defect prediction, offering a robust foundation for future investigations in the field of software defect prediction using machine learning.

Yenilenebilir enerji akıllı şebeke nesnelerin internetini tabanlı yönetim ve izleme sistemi tasarımı

Renewable energy sources are receiving more attention as a result of the population's quickening increase and growing worry over global warming. By lowering carbon emissions and generating cheap power, renewable energy sources significantly improve the environment. In comparison to other renewable energy sources, solar energy has lower operating and maintenance expenses and is thus the most widely used renewable energy source. Managing and regulating energy flow in the smart grid is one of the major issues that have to be resolved. Problems with power quality and stability may arise whenever there is a dynamic exchange of energy in a high-power system between different sources, loads, and energy storage devices. Energy flow through the system must be continuously managed in order to satisfy the load demand. The biggest problem with the smart grid's operation is the lack of technical details on the hardware and experimental setup of the energy storage system. This study assesses the power balance in a small-scale experimental SG under various conditions. To achieve Maximum PowerPoint Tracking (MPPT), the PV system efficiency in this work progressively uses artificial intelligence-based techniques. Additionally, this work involves wind turbine MPPT. By employing the Grey Wolf Optimizer GWO algorithm, which is based on the artificial intelligent approach used to achieve MPPT, to optimize the efficiency of the PV-wind turbine-battery system, the goal of this study is to enhance the power quality and energy management system of the PV-wind turbine-battery module. In order to strengthen system dependability, the IoT may also be coupled with the smart grid. In this scenario, the IoT can control load demand if the load increases more than the renewable energy sources over an extended length of time.
