In an era of high penetration of renewable energy, accurate photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is crucial for balancing and scheduling power systems. However, PV power output has uncertainty since it depends on stochastic weather conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel short-term PV forecasting technique using Delaunay triangulation, of which the vertices are three weather stations that enclose a target PV site. By leveraging a Transformer encoder and gated recurrent unit (GRU), the proposed TransGRU model is robust against weather forecast error as it learns feature representation from weather data. We construct a framework based on Delaunay triangulation and TransGRU and verify that the proposed framework shows a 7-15% improvement compared to other state-of-the-art methods in terms of the normalized mean absolute error. Moreover, we investigate the effect of PV aggregation for virtual power plants where errors can be compensated across PV sites. Our framework demonstrates 41-60% improvement when PV sites are aggregated and achieves as low as 3-4% of forecasting error on average.

Mining electric shovels are one of the core equipments for open-pit mining, and are currently moving towards intelligent and unmanned transformation, with intelligent mining instead of traditional manual operation. In the excavation operation process, due to the complexity and changeability of the material surfaces, different excavation strategies should be adopted to achieve the optimal excavation trajectory. It is an important research direction to realize the unmanned excavation of electric shovels by studying a trajectory planning method that is not limited to fixed resting angle surface, can comprehensively consider the type of material surfaces and aim at the minimum excavation energy consumption per unit volume.

Image segmentation of the corneal endothelium with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) is challenging due to the scarcity of expert-annotated data. This work proposes a data augmentation technique via warping to enhance the performance of semi-supervised training of CNNs for accurate segmentation. We use a unique augmentation process for images and masks involving keypoint extraction, Delaunay triangulation, local affine transformations, and mask refinement.

The concept of space has been successfully modelled in football using spatiotemporal player data and Voronoi diagrams. Current approaches, however, are narrow in scope by focusing on an inter-team allocation of space to measure space . The present work extends this widespread perspective with an intra-team application of the Voronoi diagram and its dual Delaunay triangulation to measure space .

An Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Node Deployment and Coverage in Sensor Networks.

Sensors (Basel)

September 2024

Electronics and Communication Engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Udupi 576104, Karnataka, India.

Article Synopsis
  • Next-generation wireless networks rely on effective positioning, coverage, and connectivity to monitor regions and detect targets using wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
  • Randomly deployed sensor nodes often lead to poor coverage and battery depletion creates gaps, necessitating optimal sensor placement to enhance monitorability, which this study addresses using an enhanced particle swarm optimization (EPSO) algorithm.
  • The EPSO algorithm improves coverage by ensuring that sensor nodes are spaced apart and that each target is monitored, with results showing improved coverage conditions at various frequency bands, especially with a communication radius of 4 m compared to existing methods.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on improving time-dependent toxicity assessments of single substances and mixtures that can interact toxically, especially those leading to hormesis.
  • Three predictive methods were created using geologic interpolation techniques: Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), Kriging, and Linear Interpolation based on Delaunay Triangulation (LDT).
  • Results indicated that LDT and Kriging outperformed IDW in predictive accuracy, with LDT being favored for its simplicity and ease of use, providing a new tool for assessing ecological risks of chemicals.
