  • Consensus Issues in Multi-Agent-Based Distributed Control with Communication Link Impairments
    O. S. Akinwale, D. F. Mojisola, P. A. Adediran
    Nigerian Journal of Technological Development, 2024
    In multi-agent systems, achieving consensus among autonomous agents is a fundamental problem with wide-ranging applications, from autonomous robotics to distributed sensor networks. However, the real-world deployment of such systems often involves communication links prone to impairments, including packet loss, delays, and network congestion. These communication challenges present formidable obstacles to achieving consensus reliably and efficiently. In this paper, consensus protocols were introduced for network with and without communication impairments and convergence analysis were provided in all the cases. The intricate dynamics of consensus issues in multi-agent-based distributed control under the influence of communication link impairments, connectivity and consensus protocol were established. Undirected communication graphs used to model the topology for agents’ connectivity is significant to addressing consensus issues of communicating agents. The paper also discusses the tradeoffs and design considerations in developing consensus strategies resilient to communication failures while optimizing performance. Simulation results show that an isolated agent in a network can achieve consensus only when there is a reference value. It was also established that communication impairments significantly degrade the performance of distributed agents in a network.

    The study focuses on designing and implementing a smart PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) temperature control system specifically for efficiently drying plantain flakes. The Arduino Nano microcontroller utilizes a PID algorithm to dynamically adjust the operations of the electric heater and fan based on real-time temperature data from the DHT11 sensor. This capability ensures that the system can achieve and sustain the desired temperature conditions necessary for drying. User interaction is facilitated through a 16×2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and push-button interface, allowing real-time chamber temperature monitoring and system status. Each component of this smart PID system is essential for creating a controlled and uniform drying environment. Integrating voltage regulators, transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes enhances power distribution and signal modulation, improving the system's reliability and stability. The article highlights an efficient, userfriendly system that optimizes the drying process for plantain flakes, demonstrating effective temperature regulation, rapid stabilization, and enhanced product quality through ZieglerNichols's tuning. Insights from stability and frequency response analyses confirm the system's adaptability, indicating its potential for broader agricultural applications, marking a step in precision farming and paving the way for sustainable agriculture.
  • LOAD PROFILING OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDING USING CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE
    A. E. Olawumi, F. M. Dahunsi
    Nigerian Journal of Technology, 2023
    Data mining is a promising tool used in processing energy data collected from energy consumers. The knowledge derived from energy data is very pertinent in the formulation of various demand-side management programs. This paper uses clustering techniques to segment the energy consumption patterns of residential and commercial buildings; situated at different geographical locations. The two (2) commonly used clustering techniques: K-Means and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, were employed. The result indicates that the choice of clustering technique for load profiling is highly subjective to the nature of the dataset. Hence, using Davies-Bouldin Index (DB) Index and Silhouette Index (SI) as clustering indicators to select an optimum number of clusters and the best clustering technique. Hierarchical clustering was identified as the most appropriate clustering for the two buildings.
  • Sustainable Business Model for Long-Range Wireless Wide Area Based Internet of Things Network: The Heterogeneous approach
    O. A. Agbolade, S. A. Oyetunji, F. M. Dahunsi
    2023 International Conference on Science Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals Seb Sdg 2023, 2023
    This research presents a heterogeneous pricing model for long-range wide area networks (LoRaWAN). Most previous pricing model by LoRaWAN operators does not take into cognizance the different latency and QoS requirement of the applications running on their network. In this work we propose a model that uses the spreading factor allocation motivated by the priority level requested for by each node during the profiling of the node on the network. This was achieved by using a novel spreading factor allocating algorithm. Our result shows that the developed spreading factor allocating algorithm was able to assign optimal transmitting parameter to each node based on their priority level. We also show that by using our model, LoRaWAN operators can make about 21.6 percent more profit. Our model also ensures a fair usage policy among all users by ensuring that the quality of service of the network is not compromised.

    With the increasing demand for energy in all human activities today comes the inherent challenges of energy generation, transmission, distribution and consumption, and ultimately, management. Different technologies, such as the Smart Grid System, have been developed over the years to solve many problems associated with energy demand and supply in many countries. However, several aspects still require innovative system designs and controls to solve. One is the energy management system's demand side management (DSM). The residential sector requires the most efficient energy management schemes of the three basic categories of electricity consumers. This paper approaches the challenge of developing a Residential Load Simulator using MATLAB-GUIDE for estimating and visualizing the energy consumption and cost implication of energy used in typical Nigerian homes. The Simulator models four categories of houses and eight common electrical appliances. The energy consumption and cost effect are estimated for 24 hours per day, 5 weekdays, 2 weekends, and one month. The granularity of estimation is hourly.
  • Mobile broadband quality of service analysis using host-based performance measurements
    Ayokunle Ayoyemi Akinlabi, Folasade Mojisola Dahunsi
    African Journal of Science Technology Innovation and Development, 2022
    Mobile broadband since its adoption in Africa has been able to deliver both social and economical dividends to the African people. The increased migration to mobile broadband services in Africa is due to accelerated smartphone adoption rate, increased network roll-out and translation to new and faster technologies. Because technological growth plays a substantial role in society, there is a need for an independent and unbiased assessment of the quality of service offered by mobile broadband infrastructure. However, little work had been carried out on the systematic and consistent investigation of mobile broadband performance monitoring, analysis, evaluation and reporting in Africa. This paper presents a thorough inquiry into the methods employed for end-to-end mobile broadband network measurement, monitoring and experimentation. Policies and recommendations are proposed based on the lessons learnt. Amongst these recommendations is advocacy for the use of a host-based measurement approach for the continued study of mobile broadband performance to assist the various stakeholders to make informed decisions. Furthermore, it was brought to the fore that unsatisfactory broadband speed is not the sole factor that limits the quality of broadband service, and, lastly, significant variations in broadband speed for the same service can be recorded over time due to several complex factors relating to different measurement approaches and conditions.
  • Analysis of GSM, Wi-Fi and LPWAN communication technologies for Smart energy metering circuits

    Proceedings of the 2022 IEEE Nigeria 4th International Conference on Disruptive Technologies for Sustainable Development Nigercon 2022, 2022
    Smart energy metering circuits or devices extract energy information from their point of application and transmit it through communication networks. Communication features in smart meters have made energy monitoring easier, leading to improved energy management. Communication technologies applied in smart metering circuits have unique advantages and disadvantages. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), and Low Power Area Network (LPWAN) communication technologies. Performance parameters such as power consumption, network coverage, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and the cost was investigated as Nigeria opened its door to smart meters. The paper concludes that all communication technologies investigated have suitable application areas within the smart metering network. LPWAN, with the most efficient use of power and large coverage area, is suitable for rural areas in Northern Nigeria with a large expanse of land and little or no mobile network operators' presence. The Wi-Fi communication technology is best for housing estates and rural areas in southern Nigeria. GSM is most applicable for urban and suburban areas in Nigeria and inter-network connections by Wi-Fi and LPWAN to the internet.
