Multi-agent System Optimized Reconfiguration of Shipboard Power System

Reconfigurability of the electrical network in a shipboard power system （SPS） after its failure is central to the restoration of power supply and improves survivability of an SPS. The navigational process creates a sequence of different operating conditions. The priority of some loads differs in changing operating conditions. After analyzing characteristics of typical SPS, a model was developed used a grade III switchboard and an environmental prioritizing agent （EPA） algorithm. This algorithm was chosen as it is logically and physically decentralized as well as multi-agent oriented. The EPA algorithm was used to decide on the dynamic load priority, then it selected the means to best meet the maximum power supply load. The simulation results showed that higher priority loads were the first to be restored. The system satisfied all necessary constraints, demonstrating the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.

Optimal coordinated voltage control of power systems

An immune algorithm solution is proposed in this paper to deal with the problem of optimal coordination of local physically based controllers in order to preserve or retain mid and long term voltage stability. This problem is in fact a global coordination control problem which involves not only sequencing and timing different control devices but also tuning the parameters of controllers. A multi-stage coordinated control scheme is presented, aiming at retaining good voltage levels with minimal control efforts and costs after severe disturbances in power systems. A self-pattem-recognized vaccination procedure is developed to transfer effective heuristic information into the new generation of solution candidates to speed up the convergence of the search procedure to global optima. An example of four bus power system case study is investigated to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, compared with several existing approaches such as differential dynamic programming and tree-search.

Potentialities of Renewable Energy in Victoria, Australia

In utility power system, electricity demand is being covered largely by fossil fueled power generation, which contributes high level of GHG （greenhouse gas） emission and causes global warming worldwide. In order to reduce GHG emission level, most of the countries in the world targeting towards green energy that is power generation from RE （renewable energy） sources. In this paper, it is considered to study prospects of RE sources in particular, solar and wind in Victoria State which are abundant as compared to other sources of renewable. The wind and solar energy feasibility study and sensitivity analysis has been done for Victoria with the aid of HOMER （hybrid optimization model of electric renewable） simulation software. From the study, it has clearly evicted that wind energy combinational HPS （hybrid power system） has more contribution, and high potential than solar PV （photovoltaic） systems for a particular location. This study also investigates the influences of energy storage in the proposed HPS.

Examples of Cable-Bar Modular Structures Based on the Class-Theta Tensegrity Systems

The relationship between forms and forces is one of the main topics of structural morphology. This harmonious coexisting link is very strong for systems in tensegrity state, commonly called ＂tensegrity systems＂. It is currently apparent that, among the tensegrity systems, there also exist cable-bar cells with a discontinuous network of cables. It is possible to design a separate set of cables inside the cable-bar elementary cell and to establish a self-stress state of equilibrium. In this connection, the author of this paper suggested to assume a new Class-Theta tensegrity systems. Each of the basic tensegrity systems termed Class-Theta possesses an external and internal set of tension components. The shape of Greek capital letter 69 （Theta） reflects two sets of such components （two sets of tendons, cables, etc.）. This notation corresponds to Skelton＇s Class-k tensegrity structure. As shown in this paper, the Class-Theta tensegrity cell can exemplify a geometrically and practically useful form for the lightweight and long-span modular structures, mainly but not only in view of civil engineering and architecture.

Review on Partial Discharge Detection Techniques Related to High Voltage Power Equipment Using Different Sensors

When operating an equipment or a power system at the high voltage, problems associated with partial discharge （PD） can be tracked down to electromagnetic emission, acoustic emission or chemical reactions such as the formation of ozone and nitrous oxide gases. The high voltage equipment and high voltage installation owners have come to terms with the need for conditions monitoring the^process of PD in the equipments such as power transformers, gas insulated substations （GIS）, and cable installations. This paper reviews the available PD detection methods （involving high voltage equipment） such as electrical detection, chemical detection, acoustic detection, and optical detection. Advantages and disadvantages of each method have been explored and compared. The review suggests that optical detection techniques provide many advantages in the consideration of accuracy and suitability for the applications when compared to other techniques.

A forward-inverse dynamics modeling framework for human musculoskeletal multibody system

Multibody musculoskeletal modeling of human gait has been proved helpful in investigating the pathology of musculoskeletal disorders.However,conventional inverse dynamics methods rely on external force sensors and cannot capture the nonlinear muscle behaviors.Meanwhile,the forward dynamics approach is computationally demanding and only suited for relatively simple tasks.This study proposed an integrated simulation methodology to fulfill the requirements of estimating foot-ground reaction force,tendon elasticity,and muscle recruitment optimization.A hybrid motion capture system,which combines the marker-based infrared device and markerless tracking through deep convolutional neural networks,was developed to track lower limb movements.The foot-ground reaction forces were determined by a contact model for soft materials,and its parameters were estimated using a two-step optimization method.The muscle recruitment problem was first resolved via a static optimization algorithm,and the obtained muscle activations were used as initial values for further simulation.A torque tracking procedure was then performed by minimizing the errors of joint torques calculated by musculotendon equilibrium equations and inverse dynamics.The proposed approach was validated against the electromyography measurements of a healthy subject during gait.The simulation framework provides a robust way of predicting joint torques,musculotendon forces,and muscle activations,which can be beneficial for understanding the biomechanics of normal and pathological gait.

An Energy Stable Monolithic Eulerian Fluid-Structure Numerical Scheme

The conservation laws of continuum mechanics, written in an Eulerian frame,do not distinguish fluids and solids, except in the expression of the stress tensors, usually with Newton's hypothesis for the fluids and Helmholtz potentials of energy for hyperelastic solids. By taking the velocities as unknown monolithic methods for fluid structure interactions(FSI for short) are built. In this paper such a formulation is analysed when the solid is compressible and the fluid is incompressible. The idea is not new but the progress of mesh generators and numerical schemes like the Characteristics-Galerkin method render this approach feasible and reasonably robust. In this paper the method and its discretisation are presented, stability is discussed through an energy estimate. A numerical section discusses implementation issues and presents a few simple tests.
