    A Framework for Automated Synthesis of Ultra-Low Power Application-Specific Embedded Processors
    Xuan Ji and Tom Kazmierski
    ID: 5214Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: Embedded processors, ultra-low power, application-specific processors, automated synthesis, design space exploration, optimization
    Апстракт / Abstract
    The design of Application-Specific Embedded Processors
    (ASEPs) traditionally relies on manual, expert-driven
    efforts, while automated exploration often employs
    High-Level Synthesis (HLS) to generate data for Design
    Space Exploration. However, HLS is constrained by its high
    level of abstraction, limited model fidelity, and a
    relatively small number of design variants that it can
    effectively explore. To tackle the challenge of automated
    Application-Specific Embedded Processor (ASEP) generation,
    this paper proposes a novel four-tier optimization
    framework that automates generation of designs from the
    assembly level to RTL, systematically exploring the
    application algorithm, instruction sets, hardware
    architecture, and code generation. The proposed framework
    keeps functional correctness for all generated designs and
    demonstrates exceptional scalability. Two simple case
    studies are investigated here to illustrate the validity of
    the proposed framework, a 2D affine transformation, and
    Gaussian filtering of images. Based on the same hardware
    constraints, the framework has automatically generated and
    optimized 192 and 1,728 extremely small RTL designs for the
    2D affine transformation and Gaussian filter algorithms,
    respectively, revealing a large theoretical design space.
    ASEPs are traditionally designed manually, which is a
    costly process requiring highly skilled expertise. To
    reduce design cost, larger general-purpose processors are
    frequently used instead of ASEPs. The automation framework
    proposed here reduces the need for expert design skills and
    can quickly generate and optimize application-specific
    processors that have superior performance to their
    general-purpose counterparts and are more than an order of
    magnitude smaller. The small size is key to ultra-low power
    implementations. In summary, this work provides a
    systematic automated solution for constructing high-quality
    ASEP by exploring large design spaces.

    Digital Predistortion Using Neural Networks and Memory Polinominals
    Borisav Jovanovic
    ID: 0795Секција / Track: ELRPProceedings
    Кључне речи / Keywords: Memory polynomial, Multilayer Perceptron, Digital predistortion, Power amplifier
    Апстракт / Abstract
    Digital predistortion (DPD) is widely recognized as an
    effective technique for power amplifier (PA) linearization.
    By compensating for nonlinearities in the PA transfer
    characteristic, DPD ensures compliance of wireless
    infrastructure with telecommunication standard
    requirements, including bit error rate (BER), transmit
    spectrum mask (TSM), and error vector magnitude (EVM). In
    addition to improving linearity, DPD contributes to reduced
    operational costs by enhancing PA energy efficiency. We
    employed different algorithms to implement DPD. Proposed
    DPD methods rely on complex valued memory polynomials and
    neural networks. The methods are described in the paper
    from mathematical standpoint. Simulation results are also
    presented in the paper.

    Mahalanobis Distance-Based kNN Imputation of Missing Power Output Data in Solar Power Plants
    Novak Radivojević, Marko Jović, Uroš Ilić, Andrija Petrušić and Miona Andrejević Stošović
    ID: 8500Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: solar power plant, missing data, imputation, k-nearest neighbors, Mahalanobis distance
    Апстракт / Abstract
    Power output measurements at solar plants are routinely
    affected by gaps caused by faults such as communication
    failures and data logging issues. When such gaps are
    present, the usual practice of discarding the corresponding
    samples reduces the amount of training data available for
    machine learning models and can introduce bias if gaps are
    not randomly distributed. This paper proposes a method for
    imputing missing power output values using
    k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) search based on Mahalanobis
    distance computed over co-located meteorological
    measurements. The method was applied to data from a
    prosumer-regime solar plant with a 60 kW installed capacity
    and validated through a hold-out experiment for a range of
    values of k, in which 5% of complete samples were
    artificially left-out, then recovered by the proposed
    method and the left-out values are compared to
    corresponding imputed values. Results show that the mean
    absolute error of imputed values on the validation set is
    below 5 kW for all tested values of k, with the lowest MAE
    of 4.41 kW and RMSE of 7.53 kW achieved for k = 10.

    Ultrasonic Collision Detector Using HC-SR04 and Arduino Uno R3
    Mihajlo Stojanović, Miljana Milić and Jelena Milojković
    ID: 9789Секција / Track: ELRPProceedings
    Кључне речи / Keywords: Arduino Uno R3, audible proximity alert, buzzer driver, collision avoidance, HC-SR04, proximity sensing, ultrasonic sensor
    Апстракт / Abstract
    This paper presents the design and implementation of a
    proximity-based collision detection system using an HC-SR04
    ultrasonic sensor and an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller.
    The system provides audible feedback through a passive
    buzzer whose beeping frequency is dynamically adjusted
    according to measured distance. Three distinct operational
    zones are defined: continuous slow beeping for distances
    above 15 cm, progressively increasing beep rate in the 5–15
    cm range using the Arduino map() function, and a constant
    tone for distances below 5 cm. The ultrasonic ranging
    function is implemented manually without any external
    library. Experimental results confirm consistent distance
    readings within ±1 cm over the rated 2–400 cm range, and
    audible zone transitions proved intuitive during user
    testing. The design is compact, low-cost, and directly
    extensible to multi-sensor or visual-feedback
    configurations.

    XGBoost-Based Solar Power Forecasting: Lag Features, K-Means Clustering, and Seasonal Splitting
    Matija Špeletić, Novak Radivojević, Uroš Ilić, Andrija Petrušić, Miona Andrejević Stošović and Zlatica Marinković
    ID: 6567Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: solar power forecasting, XGBoost, lag features, K-means clustering, feature engineering, gradient boosting
    Апстракт / Abstract
    This paper investigates XGBoost-based approaches for
    predicting photovoltaic power output at a 156 kW
    installation in southeastern Serbia. Building on prior
    LSTM- and MARS-based research, we introduce lag
    features—derived from the plant's own production
    history—and cyclical time encodings as novel feature
    engineering steps. Three model configurations are compared:
    a global plain model, a K-means clustered model routing
    predictions by weather regime, and a calendar-season model.
    A persistence baseline is established as a reference. Lag
    features yield a 13% reduction in daytime root mean square
    error (RMSE) relative to persistence. K-means clustering
    (k=3) discovers irradiance and time-of-day regimes rather
    than seasonal patterns, and per-cluster models provide no
    measurable accuracy improvement over the global model.
    Calendar-season splitting, tested to assess whether
    dedicated seasonal models capture season-specific effects,
    does not outperform the global model due to the reduced
    training data available per season. The plain XGBoost model
    with lag features is recommended as the optimal
    configuration.

    Ognjen Petrović, Simiša Simić, Zoran Stojanović, Marko Dimitrijević, Milutin Petronijević and Pamela Njemčević
    ID: 6033Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: real-time simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, control algorithm testing, MODBUS
    Апстракт / Abstract
    This manuscript presents the development of a real-time
    simulation environment and the application of
    Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) technology for testing an
    industrial controller. The research includes implementing a
    power system model in the Typhoon HIL Control Center
    software, using its built-in SCADA interface for management
    and monitoring. Special attention is paid to implementing
    communication between the simulator and the industrial
    controller using the Modbus TCP protocol, and to enabling
    two-way system management. Finally, the conducted tests
    verify the functionality of the developed system and assess
    the applicability of the HIL approach for testing control
    solutions in the power industry.

    Design and Implementation of Integrated Magnetics for LLC Resonant Converter Based on Magnetic Decoupling
    Vojin Vešković, Igor Jovanović, Luka Stanić, Miodrag Skender and Dragan Mančić
    ID: 8036Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: Integrated magnetics, Planar ferrite cores, Resonant LLC converter
    Апстракт / Abstract
    Increasing power density represents one of the key
    development trends in modern power electronic converters.
    This trend has encouraged the adoption of planar
    transformers and integrated magnetic structures. However,
    integrated magnetics are still often avoided in practical
    designs, while many solutions reported in the literature
    rely on custom-designed ferrite cores that are typically
    either not commercially available or overly complex to
    implement in compact enclosure. This paper presents a
    practical method for magnetic integration in an LLC
    resonant converter using commercially available cores. The
    proposed approach combines simplicity and ease of
    implementation with effective magnetic decoupling, achieved
    through analytical design method. As a result, flux in the
    shared leg is reduced and a nearly uniform flux
    distribution within the ferrite core is ensured. The
    proposed solution is validated through analytical approach,
    simulations, and experimental results obtained from a 300 W
    LLC converter implementing an integrated planar
    transformer. Experimental results confirm the feasibility
    of the proposed approach and show approximately 1%
    efficiency improvement and reduced magnetic volume compared
    to a conventional discrete magnetic implementation.

    Characterization of Cylindrical Ultrasonic Sonotrodes Using Analytical and FEM Methods
    Aleksandar Panić, Igor Jovanović and Dragan Mančić
    ID: 4190Секција / Track: ELRPIEEE Xplore
    Кључне речи / Keywords: ultrasonic transducers, sonotrodes, 3D analytical method, FEM method, resonant frequency
    Апстракт / Abstract
    This paper presents an analysis of the oscillations of
    disk-shaped metal endings (sonotrodes) designed for use in
    ultrasonic transducers. The research aims to study and
    predict resonant frequencies and vibration modes, with a
    particular focus on the coupling of thickness and radial
    oscillations. For modeling and displacement distribution
    analysis, an analytical 3D approximate matrix method was
    used, enabling the efficient prediction of thickness and
    radial oscillations, as well as their mutual coupling. In
    addition to the analytical model, a numerical model using
    the finite element analysis software package was applied,
    allowing for the prediction of the system's dynamic
    behavior. Experimental measurements were carried out using
    an industrial ultrasonic resonant analyzer in the frequency
    range from 15 kHz to 50 kHz. The results show high
    agreement between the analytical model, numerical
    simulations, and experimental measurements. The research is
    specifically focused on the identification and
    characterization of axisymmetric flexural (bending) modes
    that occur within the measurement range for steel and
    duralumin sonotrodes, with dimensions most commonly used in
    ultrasonic transducers. The proposed approach provides
    reliable guidelines for optimizing sonotrodes geometry and
    avoiding coupling with unwanted parasitic modes.
