RESUMEN
In a climate change scenario and under a growing interest in Precision Agriculture, it is more and more important to map and record seasonal trends of the respiration of cropland and natural surfaces. Ground-level sensors to be placed in the field or integrated into autonomous vehicles are of growing interest. In this scope, a low-power IoT-compliant device for measurement of multiple surface CO2 and WV concentrations have been designed and developed. The device is described and tested under controlled and field conditions, showing ready and easy access to collected values typical of a cloud-computing-based approach. The device proved to be usable in indoor and open-air environments for a long time, and the sensors were arranged in multiple configurations to evaluate simultaneous concentrations and flows, while the low-cost, low-power (LP IoT-compliant) design is achieved by a specific design of the printed circuit board and a firmware code fitting the characteristics of the controller.
RESUMEN
With the rapid development of the 5G power Internet of Things (IoT), new power systems have higher requirements for data transmission rates, latency, reliability, and energy efficiency. Specifically, the hybrid service of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) has brought new challenges to the differentiated service of the 5G power IoT. To solve the above problems, this paper first constructs a power IoT model based on NOMA for the mixed service of URLLC and eMBB. Considering the shortage of resource utilization in eMBB and URLLC hybrid power service scenarios, the problem of maximizing system throughput through joint channel selection and power allocation is proposed. The channel selection algorithm based on matching as well as the power allocation algorithm based on water injection are developed to tackle the problem. Both theoretical analysis and experimental simulation verify that our method has superior performance in system throughput and spectrum efficiency.
RESUMEN
At present, the reconfiguration, maintenance, and review of power lines play a pivotal role in maintaining the stability of electrical grid operations and ensuring the accuracy of electrical energy measurements. These essential tasks not only guarantee the uninterrupted functioning of the power system, thereby improving the reliability of the electricity supply but also facilitate precise electricity consumption measurement. In view of these considerations, this article endeavors to address the challenges posed by power line restructuring, maintenance, and inspections on the stability of power grid operations and the accuracy of energy metering. To accomplish this goal, this article introduces an enhanced methodology based on the hidden Markov model (HMM) for identifying the topology of distribution substations. This approach involves a thorough analysis of the characteristic topology structures found in low-voltage distribution network (LVDN) substations. A topology identification model is also developed for LVDN substations by leveraging time series data of electricity consumption measurements and adhering to the principles of energy conservation. The HMM is employed to streamline the dimensionality of the electricity consumption data matrix, thereby transforming the topology identification challenge of LVDN substations into a solvable convex optimization problem. Experimental results substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed model, with convergence to minimal error achieved after a mere 50 iterations for long time series data. Notably, the method attains an impressive discriminative accuracy of 0.9 while incurring only a modest increase in computational time, requiring a mere 35.1 milliseconds. By comparison, the full-day data analysis method exhibits the shortest computational time at 16.1 milliseconds but falls short of achieving the desired accuracy level of 0.9. Meanwhile, the sliding time window analysis method achieves the highest accuracy of 0.95 but at the cost of a 50-fold increase in computational time compared to the proposed method. Furthermore, the algorithm reported here excels in terms of energy efficiency (0.89) and load balancing (0.85). In summary, the proposed methodology outperforms alternative approaches across a spectrum of performance metrics. This article delivers valuable insights to the industry by fortifying the stability of power grid operations and elevating the precision of energy metering. The proposed approach serves as an effective solution to the challenges entailed by power line restructuring, maintenance, and inspections.
