Summary
Compressive sensing is an emerging technique in cognitive radio systems, through which sub‐Nyquist sampling rates can be achieved without loss of significant information. In collaborative spectrum sensing networks with multiple secondary users, the problem is to find a reliable and fast sensing method and to secure communication between members of the same network. The method proposed in this paper provides both quick and reliable detection through compressive sensing and security through the use of deterministic chaotic sensing matrices. Deterministic matrices have an advantage over random ones since they are easier to generate and store. Moreover, it is much easier to verify whether a deterministic matrix satisfies the conditions for compressive sensing compared with random matrices, which is what makes them an interesting area of research in compressive sensing. Also, it would be a great advantage if the sensing matrices also provide inherent security, which is the motivation for using chaotic matrices in this paper, since any slight changes in the chaotic parameters result in highly uncorrelated chaotic sequences, hence entirely different sensing matrices. This makes it impossible to reconstruct the signal without proper knowledge of the parameters used to generate the sensing matrix. They can also be easily regenerated by knowing the correct initial values and parameters. Additionally, new modifications are proposed to the existing structures of chaotic matrices. The performance of chaotic sensing matrices for both existing and modified structures is compared with that of random sensing matrices.
SUMMARYIn this paper, we introduce the implementation of the stationary wavelet transform in compressive sensing, particularly in spectrum sensing and edge detection in cognitive radio. We also review the different forms of the compressive sensing basis matrix, providing a comparative study of their performance, with emphasis on the matrices implementing the discrete wavelet transform, the stationary wavelet transform, and their multiscale counterparts. The results presented in this paper show that, using the stationary wavelet transform, we can reach the performance level and error rate obtained by the discrete wavelet transform using only half the samples required by the latter to attain the same performance.
The tendency towards carbon dioxide reduction greatly stimulates the popularity of electric vehicles against conventional vehicles. However, electric vehicle chargers represent a huge electric burden, which affects the performance and stability of the grid. Various optimization methodologies have been proposed in literature to enhance the performance of the distribution grids. However, existing techniques handle the raised issues from individual perspectives and/or with limited scopes. Therefore, this paper aims to develop a distributed controller-based coordination scheme in both medium and low voltage networks to handle the electric vehicles' charging impact on the power grid. The scope of this work covers improving the network voltage profile, reducing the total active and reactive power, reducing the load fluctuations and total charging cost, while taking into consideration the random arrivals/departures of electric vehicles and the vehicle owners' preferred charging time zones with vehicle-to-grid technology. Simulations are carried out to prove the successfulness of the proposed method in improving the performance of IEEE 31-bus 23 kV system with several 415 V residential feeders. Additionally, the proposed method is validated using Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop. The results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the issues that appear in the electric power grid during charging with minor changes in the existing grid. The results prove the successful implementation of different types of charging, namely, ultra-fast, fast, moderate, normal and vehicle-to-grid charging with minimum charging cost to enhance the owner's satisfaction level.INDEX TERMS EV charging, quadratic programming, pattern search, energy management, V2G, V2V.
