Abstract In large-scale Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSN), traditional forward routing mechanisms often lead to reduced energy efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a WRSN node energy optimization algorithm based on regional partitioning and inter-layer routing. The algorithm employs a dynamic clustering radius method and the K-means clustering algorithm to dynamically partition the WRSN area. Then, the cluster head nodes in the outermost layer select an appropriate layer from the next relay routing region and designate it as the relay layer for data transmission. Relay nodes are selected layer by layer, starting from the… More >

Abstract Considering the noise problem of the acquisition signals from mechanical transmission systems, a novel denoising method is proposed that combines Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) with wavelet thresholding. The key innovation of this method lies in the optimization of VMD parameters K and using the improved Horned Lizard Optimization Algorithm (IHLOA). An inertia weight parameter is introduced into the random walk strategy of HLOA, and the related formula is improved. The acquisition signal can be adaptively decomposed into some Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), and the high-noise IMFs are identified based on a correlation coefficient-variance method. Further noise… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The rapid proliferation of renewable energy integration and escalating grid operational complexity have intensified demands for resilient self-healing mechanisms in modern power systems. Conventional approaches relying on static models and heuristic rules exhibit limitations in addressing dynamic fault propagation and multi-modal data fusion. This study proposes a Transformer-enhanced intelligent microgrid self-healing framework that synergizes large language models (LLMs) with adaptive optimization, achieving three key innovations: (1) A hierarchical attention mechanism incorporating grid impedance characteristics for spatiotemporal feature extraction, (2) Dynamic covariance estimation Kalman filtering with wavelet packet energy entropy thresholds (Daubechies-4 basis, 6-level decomposition), and… More >

Abstract The integration of IoT and Deep Learning (DL) has significantly advanced real-time health monitoring and predictive maintenance in prognostic and health management (PHM). Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are widely used for cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis, but fluctuating signal patterns make classification challenging. Computer-assisted automated diagnostic tools that enhance ECG signal categorization using sophisticated algorithms and machine learning are helping healthcare practitioners manage greater patient populations. With this motivation, the study proposes a DL framework leveraging the PTB-XL ECG dataset to improve CVD diagnosis. Deep Transfer Learning (DTL) techniques extract features, followed by feature fusion to eliminate redundancy… More >

Abstract The intermittency and volatility of wind and photovoltaic power generation exacerbate issues such as wind and solar curtailment, hindering the efficient utilization of renewable energy and the low-carbon development of energy systems.

The optimization objectives are to minimize operating cost, minimize carbon emission, and maximize the consumption of wind and solar curtailment. The multi-objective particle swarm… More >

Abstract In permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control, the jitter problem affects the system performance, so a novel reaching law is proposed to construct a non-singular fast terminal sliding mode controller (NFTSMC) to reduce the jitter. To enhance the immunity of the system, a disturbance observer is designed to observe and compensate for the disturbance to the sliding mode controller. In addition, considering that the controller parameters are difficult to adjust, and the traditional zebra optimization algorithm (ZOA) is prone to converge prematurely and fall into local optimum when solving the optimal solution, the improved zebra… More >

Abstract Nowadays, abnormal traffic detection for Software-Defined Networking (SDN) faces the challenges of large data volume and high dimensionality. Since traditional machine learning-based detection methods have the problem of data redundancy, the Metaheuristic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to select features before machine learning to reduce the dimensionality of data. Since a Tyrannosaurus Optimization Algorithm (TROA) has the advantages of few parameters, simple implementation, and fast convergence, and it shows better results in feature selection, TROA can be applied to abnormal traffic detection for SDN. However, TROA suffers from insufficient global search capability, is easily trapped in… More >

Abstract Software defect prediction (SDP) aims to find a reliable method to predict defects in specific software projects and help software engineers allocate limited resources to release high-quality software products. Software defect prediction can be effectively performed using traditional features, but there are some redundant or irrelevant features in them (the presence or absence of this feature has little effect on the prediction results). These problems can be solved using feature selection. However, existing feature selection methods have shortcomings such as insignificant dimensionality reduction effect and low classification accuracy of the selected optimal feature subset. In… More >
