Recently Network safety has become an important or hot topic in the security society (i.e. Encryption and Decryption) developed as a solution of problem that have an important role in the security of information systems (IS). So protected/secure the shared data and information by many methods that require in all internet faciality, data health and…

The integration of distributed energy resources has ushered in a host of complex challenges, significantly impacting power quality in distribution networks. This work studies these challenges, exploring issues such as voltage fluctuations and escalating power losses caused by the integration of solar systems and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. We present a robust methodology focused on…

The quality of the electric power system must be maintained properly, one of which is voltage. Under certain operating conditions, the bus voltage may drop below its minimum level, called bad voltage. A large reactive load can cause a voltage drop across the bus or the location of the bus is far from the generator…

In this research paper, a technical and economic-environmental study was developed to investigate the possibility of establishing various hybrid power systems with different operation modes. Grid-connected and standalone hybrid systems (solar-wind with storage batteries and diesel generators) have been realized in order to carry out a comparative analysis study of two configurations. These systems have…

Collaborative filtering of recommended systems (CFRSs) suffers from overrun false rating injections that diverge the system functions for creating accurate recommendations. In this paper, we propose a three-stage unsupervised approach. Starts by defining the mechanism(s) that makes recommendation vulnerable to attack. Second, find the maximum-paths or the associated related items valued by the user. We…

In the present contribution, a robust output H∞ control ensuring the stability, reliability and security for nonlinear systems when actuator attacks (data deception attacks) occur. A new design method based on the polytopic rewriting of the attacked system as an uncertain one subject to external disturbances will be detailed. Robust polytopic state feedback observer sta-…

In recent years the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously and a variety of methodologies had been applied to make them more safe and secure. This work shows a multilevel approach combining Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis of an autonomous railway system with sociological and technical aspects to support safe operations and human-machine…

This study investigated the vulnerabilities of three operating systems: Windows 10, macOS, and Ubuntu. The analysis of secondary data obtained from the CVE and NVD databases for the study period demonstrates varying OS vulnerability. Quantitative assessment of the vulnerability (using the vulnerability score) for the investigated operating systems found consistent results in the security vulnerability…

The knowledge and understanding of the technology of quantum computers and their superiority over classical computers are still insufficient or uncertain for many communities of researchers, manufacturers, investors and the general public. For this reason, we try in this article to present and explain some of the basic concepts of quantum computers. We explain how…

In this paper, an improved model has been proposed for investigating the impact of cyber-attacks on power systems regarding frequency disturbances and voltage disruption while changing the load called ICAPS. The proposed ICAPS model is formulated by five different controllers, such as LFC, AGC, AGC-PID, AVR, and AVR-PID, implemented in two sets of the system…

The article is devoted to the methods of monitoring and control of vibration processes occurring in the structure and units of complex and unique electromechanical equipment. The monitoring object is considered as a dynamic multidimensional information object, for the study of which analytical and numerical methods of modeling and simulation of multidimensional chaotic systems are…

The development of an aggregated system consisting of autonomously developed components is usually implemented as a self-contained unit. If such an aggregation is understood as a system of systems (SoS) that communicates via interfaces with its autonomous subsystems and components, the interfaces and communication exchange should play a central role in the architectural design. In…

Photovoltaic systems are classified as non-linear systems. On the other hand, the characteristics of photovoltaic cells are non-linear. For this reason, researchers use several methods of maximum power monitoring (MPPT) to improve the performance of photovoltaic system. It is therefore necessary to use an adaptation stage between the photovoltaic generator (GPV) and the load to…

C programming is taught in a lot of universities across the world as the first computer programming language. Then, for novice students, it is important to read many simple C source codes and understand their behaviors to be familiar to the programming paradigm. Unfortunately, effective tools to support independent code reading study at home have…

The paper describes the control and monitoring systems installed in medium voltage networks by Polish distribution network operators. It also outlines the expected directions of development of these systems, specifies the functions of the individual system components and describes the requirements applicable to them. In particular, attention is paid to the implementation of functions to…

Considering the importance of addressing innovation issues that impact the development of economic sectors, this document presents the research work aimed at establishing a state of the art related to technology transfer and intermediation issues, which can be adopted in the innovation systems. In this case, the agro-industrial innovation system is taken as a reference…

The problem of optimal distribution of the current load of a combined heat and power plant with a complex composition of equipment is considered. A multi-criteria approach is proposed for parts of graphs with a constant load in time, considering the factors of economy, reliability and ecology. For sections of the graph with a time-variable…

Ladysmith is a major economic hub in the uThukela District Municipality. However, it has been experiencing floods almost every year which has resulted in the loss of lives and disruption of business activity within the Ladysmith Central Business District. The main objective of this study was to quantify the land use/cover changes before and after…

The daily treats model reduction finite frequency (FFMR) design for Takagi Sugeno (T S) systems. This work is to FFMR design in such a way whether augmented model is steady get a reduced H? index in FF areas with noise is established as a prerequisite.

In this work, the impact of implementing a large amount of decentralized renewable energy sources (RES) of different scales on an extra-large power grid is investigated. Three scenarios are created, substituting 10%, 20%, and 30% of the conventional energy production by RES. For this purpose, the initial dynamic model of Continental Europe in combination with…

Survivability of systems is a very important system property and consists major concern for organizations and companies. Survivable systems should maintain their critical services functional in a timely manner. There are several approaches, proposed in the literature, on how to develop survivable telecommunication systems, but the majority is based on node outages or path failures,…
