RESUMEN
Current political and economic trends are moving more and more toward the use of renewable and clean energy as a result of rising energy use and diminishing fossil fuel supplies. In this paper, an improved chaos-based grasshopper optimizer used for techno-economic evaluation in integrated green power systems is investigated. The integrated system consists of a fuel cell system, a wind farm, and solar energy. The integrated solar, wind, and hydrogen fuel cell architectures increase the effectiveness and electrical output of the system while needing less energy storage in structures that are unconnected from the grid. The grasshopper optimization technique and chaos theory have been combined to create the suggested chaotic grasshopper optimizer in this study. The performance, precision, and robustness of this optimization were then assessed, using four benchmark tasks. The ICGO model is utilized to assign suitable ratings to all system devices, thereby guaranteeing the attainment of optimal performance and efficiency. The Net Present Cost (NPC) analysis revealed that the ICGO algorithm attained the lowest minimum NPC value of 274.541E4 USD and the highest maximum NPC value of 311.94E4 USD. The average NPC value of the ICGO algorithm (289.176E4 USD) was found to be comparable to the other algorithms examined in the study. These findings indicate that the ICGO algorithm outperformed other optimization algorithms in minimizing the cost of the renewable energy system. The chaotic grasshopper optimizer can handle several targets, restrictions, and variables with ease, and the results demonstrate that it is substantially more efficient and precise than standard optimization techniques. It is also quite durable, with minimal performance degradation as compared to the benchmark solutions. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the chaos grasshopper optimizer as an HRES technique.
RESUMEN
Microgrids are a promising solution for decentralized energy generation and distribution, offering reliability, efficiency, and resilience. These small-scale power systems can operate independently or connect to the main grid, providing greater reliability and resilience. However, integrating renewable energy into microgrids presents challenges due to their unpredictable nature and fluctuating load of electricity. Energy management strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the operation of microgrids, aiming to balance electricity supply and demand, maximize renewable energy utilization, and minimize operational costs. Various approaches have been proposed for energy management in microgrids, including optimization algorithms, machine learning techniques, and intelligent control systems. This study proposes an optimized and efficient strategy for microgrids operating in both independent and grid-connected modes, focusing on microgrids that utilize a combination of solar and green energy sources. The proposed approach, based on the Promoted Remora Optimization (PRO) algorithm, aims to meet load power requirements at the lowest possible cost while ensuring constant DC bus voltage and safeguarding batteries against overcharging and depletion. The CRO method effectively optimized the charging process, maintaining a consistent level of charge and achieving a final SoC of 33.37 %-33.60 %. It also demonstrated high system efficiency, with an average of 87.99 %, and a range of 87.80 %-88.03 %. The optimizer efficiency ranged from 83.12 % to 86.52 %, with an average of 86.46 %. The CRO method also achieved reasonable operating costs, with a cost per power of $0.1687/kW to $0.1699/kW and a daily cost of $1,379,595 to $1,479,998. Overall, the CRO method showed promise in optimizing the charging process in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Comparative analysis with existing literature is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, demonstrating its superior results compared to other energy management strategies for microgrids. This study contributes to the field of microgrid energy management by providing a novel approach based on the PRO algorithm and demonstrating its effectiveness through comparative analysis.
RESUMEN
With the introduction of various loads and dispersed production units to the system in recent years, the significance of precise forecasting for short, long, and medium loads have already been recognized. It is important to analyze the power system's performance in real-time and the appropriate response to changes in the electric load to make the best use of energy systems. Electric load forecasting for a long period in the time domain enables energy producers to increase grid stability, reduce equipment failures and production unit outages, and guarantee the dependability of electricity output. In this study, SqueezeNet is first used to obtain the required power demand forecast at the user end. The structure of the SqueezeNet is then enhanced using a customized version of the Sewing Training-Based Optimizer. A comparison between the results of the suggested method and those of some other published techniques is then implemented after the method has been applied to a typical case study with three different types of demands-short, long, and medium-term. A time window has been set up to collect the objective and input data from the customer at intervals of 20 min, allowing for highly effective neural network training. The results showed that the proposed method with 0.48, 0.49, and 0.53 MSE for Forecasting the short-term, medium-term, and long-term electricity provided the best results with the highest accuracy. The outcomes show that employing the suggested technique is a viable option for energy consumption forecasting.
RESUMEN
A common gynecological disease in the world is breast cancer that early diagnosis of this disease can be very effective in its treatment. The use of image processing methods and pattern recognition techniques in automatic breast detection from mammographic images decreases human errors and increments the rapidity of diagnosis. In this paper, mammographic images are analyzed using image processing techniques and a pipeline structure for the diagnosis of the cancerous masses. In the first stage, the quality of mammogram images and the contrast of abnormal areas in the image are improved by using image contrast improvement and a noise decline. A method based on color space is then used for image segmentation that is followed by mathematical morphology. Then, for feature image extraction, a combined gray-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method is used. At last, a new optimized version of convolutional neural network (CNN) and a new improved metaheuristic, called Advanced Thermal Exchange Optimizer, are used for the classification of the features. A comparison of the simulations of the proposed technique with three different techniques from the literature applied on the MIAS mammogram database is performed to show its superiority. Results show that the accuracy of diagnosing cancer cases for the proposed method and applied on the MIAS database is 93.79%, and sensitivity and specificity are obtained 96.89% and 67.7%, respectively.

Skin cancer is a type of disease in which malignant cells are formed in skin tissues. However, skin cancer is a dangerous disease, and an early detection of this disease helps the therapists to cure this disease. In the present research, an automatic computer-aided method is presented for the early diagnosis of skin cancer. After image noise reduction based on median filter in the first stage, a new image segmentation based on the convolutional neural network optimized by satin bowerbird optimization (SBO) has been adopted and its efficiency has been indicated by the confusion matrix. Then, feature extraction is performed to extract the useful information from the segmented image. An optimized feature selection based on the SBO algorithm is also applied to prune excessive information. Finally, a support vector machine classifier is used to categorize the processed image into the following two groups: cancerous and healthy cases. Simulations have been performed of the American Cancer Society database, and the results have been compared with ten different methods from the literature to investigate the performance of the system in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, negative predictive value, specificity, and positive predictive value.

One of the most dangerous cancers in humans is Melanoma. However, early detection of melanoma can help us to cure it completely. This paper presents a new efficient method to detect malignancy in melanoma via images. At first, the extra scales are eliminated by using edge detection and smoothing. Afterwards, the proposed method can be utilized to segment the cancer images. Finally, the extra information is eliminated by morphological operations and used to focus on the area which melanoma boundary potentially exists. To do this, World Cup Optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize an MLP neural Networks (ANN). World Cup Optimization algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which is recently presented and has a good performance in some optimization problems. WCO is a derivative-free, Meta-Heuristic algorithm, mimicking the world's FIFA competitions. World cup Optimization algorithm is a global search algorithm while gradient-based back propagation method is local search. In this proposed algorithm, multi-layer perceptron network (MLP) employs the problem's constraints and WCO algorithm attempts to minimize the root mean square error. Experimental results show that the proposed method can develop the performance of the standard MLP algorithm significantly.
