In recent years, alternative engine technologies are necessary to resolve the problems related to conventional vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are effective solutions to decarbonize the transportation sector. It also becomes important to shift from traditional houses to smart houses and from classical vehicles to EVs or HEVs. It is needed to combine renewable energy sources (RESs) such as solar photovoltaics, wind energy systems, and various forms of bio-energies. Among various HEV technologies, an effective battery management system (BMS) still remains a crucial issue that is majorly used for indicating the battery state of charge (SOC). Since over-charging and over-discharging result in inevitable impairment to the batteries, accurate SOC estimation desires to be presented by the BMS. Although several SOC estimation techniques exist to regulate the SOC of the battery cell, it is needed to improvise the SOC estimation performance on HEVs. In this view, this paper focuses on the design of a novel deep learning (DL) with SOC estimation model for secure renewable energy management (DLSOC-REM) technique for HEVs. The presented model employs a hybrid convolution neural network and long short-term memory (HCNN-LSTM) model for the accurate estimation of SOC. In order to improve the SOC estimation outcomes of the HCNN-LSTM model, the barnacles mating optimizer (BMO) is applied for the hyperpower tuning process. The utilization of the HCNN-LSTM model makes the modeling process easier and offers a precise depiction of the input–output relationship of the battery model. The design of BMO based HCNN-LSTM model for SOC estimation shows the novelty of the work. An extensive experimental analysis highlighted the supremacy of the proposed model over other existing methods in terms of different aspects.
Filtering is one of the essential tools utilized to remove undesirable features in biomedical images. Most biomedical image denoising systems are used for clinical diagnosis. So, in this paper, we use the advanced trilateral filter in the field programmable gate array (FPGA) for removing noise in the biomedical image. Generally, the trilateral filter is used as an edge preserving smoothing filter. This advanced approach of trilateral filter gives the best noise diminution and enhances the image quality. This paper also proposes the hardware implementation of an efficient FPGA-based advanced trilateral filter on real time execution. In this manuscript, we intend to design and implement the FPGA architecture using an advanced trilateral filter. Biomedical images with different noises are used during implementation and compared with the existing bilateral and trilateral architecture to assess the proposed architecture performance. For evaluating the performance metrics of the proposed advanced trilateral filter on MATLAB platform, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), mean squared error (MSE) and structured similarity index (SSIM) are calculated for different biomedical images – such as brain (MRI), chest (x-ray) and lungs (CT) – with different noises – such as salt and pepper, Gaussian, Poisson and Speckle noises – compared with existing bilateral filter and trilateral filter, respectively. The proposed advanced trilateral filter implementations are checked on Virtex-6, Virtex-7 and Zynq FPGA development board using Verilog programming language in Xilinx ISE 14.5 design tools. The simulation outcomes display that the FPGA execution of the advanced trilateral filter contains better noise removal efficiency in biomedical images compared with the existing bilateral and trilateral filter.
