Cybersecurity in front of attacks to a face recognition system is an emerging issue in the cloud era, especially due to its strong bonds with the privacy of the users registered to the system. A possible attack is the model inversion attack (MIA) which aims to reveal the identity of a targeted user by generating the most proper datapoint input to the system with maximum corresponding confidence score at the output. The generated data of a registered user can be maliciously used as a serious inva

In practical operating conditions, the Solar-Photo Voltaic (SPV) system experiences multifarious irradiation and temperature levels, which generate power with multiple peaks. This is considered as the nonuniform operating condition (NUOC). This requires accurate tracking of global power peaks to achieve maximum power from SPV, which is a challenging task. Hence, this paper presents an incremental Conductance based Particle Swarm Optimization (ICPSO) algorithm for accurate tracking of maximum glo

The expected fifth industrial revolution or Industry 5.0 (I-5.0) is human-centered and concerns societal values, and sustainability. I-5.0 focuses on human and machine coworking by augmenting human-collaborative intelligent robots. The current developments in information communications and the increasing market need for high agility and innovative ways to tailor products urge the world for an I-5.0 transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in I-5.0 in offering intelligent com

The perceptual adaptation of the image (PAI) is introduced by inspiration from Chevreul–Mach Bands (CMB) visual phenomenon. By boosting the CMB assisting illusory effect on boundaries of the regions, PAI adapts the image to the perception of the human visual system and thereof increases the quality of the image. PAI is proposed for application to standard images or the output of any image processing technique. For the implementation of the PAI on the image, an algorithm of morphological filters

The combustion chamber is the most critical part of a gas turbine. The chamber had to be designed so that the combustion process to sustain itself in a continuous manner and the temperature of the products is sufficiently below the maximum working temperature in the turbine. In the conventional industrial gas turbine combustion systems, the combustion chamber can be divided into two areas: the primary zone and the secondary zone. The pri‐ mary zone is where the majority of the fuel combustion ta

Penetration level of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in the utility network is steadily increasing. This changes the fault level and causes protection problems. Furthermore, multi-tapped structure of distribution network deployed to integrate solar PV energy to the grid and supplying loads at the same time also raised the protection challenges. Hence, this manuscript is aimed at introducing an algorithm to identify and classify the faults incident on the network of utilities where penetration lev

Electrical energy is critical to a country’s socioeconomic progress. Distribution system expansion planning addresses the services that must be installed for the distribution networks to meet the expected load need, while also meeting different operational and technical limitations. The incorporation of distributed generation sources (DGs) alters the operating characteristics of modern power systems, resulting in major economic and technical benefits, such as simplified distribution network expa

Due to the highly increasing integration of renewable energy sources with the power grid and their fluctuations, besides the recent growth of new power electronics equipment, the noise in power systems has become colored. The colored noise affects the methodologies for power quality parameters’ estimation, such as harmonic and interharmonic components. Estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) as a parametric technique with high resolution has proven its effic

In recent years, owing to the effect of fossil fuels on global warming, the exhaustion of oil fields, and the lucrative impacts of renewable energy resources (RESs), the penetration of RESs has been increasing significantly in power systems. An effective way to benefit from all RESs advantages is by applying them in microgrid systems (MGS). Furthermore, MGS can ease the way for utilizing a large amount of RESs, if its economic-environmental-technical aspects of it are taken into account. In this
