In this paper, a two-level stacking technique with feature selection is used to detect power theft. The first level of this technique uses base classifiers such as support vector machine (SVM), naïve Bayes (NB), and AdaBoost ...

The paper introduces a novel adaptive fuzzy fractional-order (FO) fast terminal sliding mode control procedure for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbances. For this purpose, ...

Electric spring (ES) is a new technology that can be used for fast demand-side management to balance the power between generation and consumption in smart grids. In this paper, the back-to-back structure of electric spring ...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a new technology for eliminating some of the problems of existing technologies such as CMOS. Some of the key advantages of QCA are an intersection of wires in the same plane, high ...

Nowadays time series analysis is an important challenge in engineering problems. In this paper, we proposed the Comprehensive Learning Polynomial Autoregressive Model (CLPAR) predict linear and nonlinear time series. The ...

In this paper, two new developed quasi Z-source inverters (QZSI) based on two new diode-cells are proposed. The proposed inverters are called continuous diode assisted quasi Z-source inverter (CDQAZSI) and discontinuous ...

Managing software projects due to its intangible nature is full of challenges when predicting the effort needed for development. Accordingly, there exist many studies with the attempt to devise models to estimate efforts ...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the identification of a specific class of hybrid systems. Hybrid System identification is a challenging problem since it involves the estimation of discrete and continuous states ...

Emergency demand response (EDR) and under frequency load shedding (UFLS) are used as two separate methods for frequency restoration of power system after the usual methods of frequency control are not able to maintain the ...
