Parametic Model for Optimization of Battery Capacity and Power Transmitters of On-line Electric Vehicles in Closed/Open Environments

An on-line electric vehicle(OLEV)uses a wireless charging phenomenon,in which power transmitters are installed beneath the road and the OLEV’s battery is charged remotely.This paper deals with the optimization of two key economic and design parameters,i.e.,the size of the battery and the power transmitters allocation.A complete model configuration of the OLEV system,including the vehicle design and power transmitter,is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink.The battery’s state of charge(SOC)rises and drops according to the vehicle’s velocity and power collection and consumption.The mixed integer programming(MIP)model is used for cost calculation.Therefore,with the help of the SOC graph and MIP model,the battery size and the number of power transmitters,along with their placements,are optimized.The proposed model is applicable to both closed and open environments as it accepts both regulated and deregulated velocities.Two test cases are performed for this purpose.The first test case deals with regulated velocity for which we have applied the KAIST campus OLEV’s velocity along with its 13 kWh battery size and 4 power transmitters,and then applied the suggested solution with the same velocity and route i.e.,8 power transmitters with shorter lengths and reduced battery size(3.25 kWh;one-fourth of the first case).SOC is found within limits at the end of the route,saving$1600 and validating the proposed model in this paper.For the second test case,we use deregulated velocity and optimize both parameters,using the same approach.

Diffusion dynamics in external noise-activated non-equilibrium open system-reservoir coupling environment

The diffusion process in an external noise-activated non-equilibrium open system–reservoir coupling environment is studied by analytically solving the generalized Langevin equation. The dynamical property of the system near the barrier top is investigated in detail by numerically calculating the quantities such as mean diffusion path, invariance, barrier passing probability, and so on. It is found that, comparing with the unfavorable effect of internal fluctuations, the external noise activation is sometimes beneficial to the diffusion process. An optimal strength of external activation or correlation time of the internal fluctuation is expected for the diffusing particle to have a maximal probability to escape from the potential well.

Threshold dynamics of a cooperation-diffusion-advection model in open advective environments

This paper is concerned with a Lotka-Volterra cooperation-reaction-diffusion-advection model in open advective environments.It is found that there are two critical advection rates,which classify the dynamic behavior of this system into three different scenarios,namely,(i)both species go extinct;(ii)one species survives in the long run,the other goes extinct and(ii)both species can persistently survive.The theoretical results provide some interesting highlights in ecological protection in streams and rivers.

A Heuristic Algorithm to Solve the Task Partition Problem in MDOCEM

This paper examines task partition problem in a Multiagent based Distributed Open Computing Environment Model(MDOCEM). We first present a formal method to describe the task partition problem, then give a heuristic algorithm to solve the task partition problem that gives an approximate optimum solution.

Prototyping an open environment for sharing geographical analysis models on cloud computing platform

The sharing of geographical analysis models is of crucial importance for simulating geographic processes and phenomena in the current geographical information systems(e.g.Digital Earth),but there remain some issues that have not been completely resolved.The challenges include,eliminating model heterogeneity and searching for suitable infrastructures to support the open sharing and effective execution of models.Taking advantage of cloud computing,this article aims to address the above issues and develop an open environment for geographical analysis model sharing.On the basis of the analysis of the applicability of cloud computing,the architecture of the open environment is proposed.More importantly,key strategies designed for heterogeneous model description,model encapsulating as well as model deploying and transparent accessing in the cloud are discussed in detail to establish such an environment.Finally,the prototype environment is implemented,and experiments were conducted to verify the environment’s feasibility to support the sharing of geographical analysis models.

Multi-mode interaction middleware for software services

Due to the independency, variability, and tailorability of software service in the open environment, the research of middleware which supports software services multi-mode interaction is thus of great importance. In this paper, an agent-based multi-mode interaction middleware model and its supporting system for software services were proposed. This model includes an interaction feature decomposition and configuration model to enable interaction programming, an agent-based middleware model, and a programmable coordination media based on reflection technology. The decomposition and configuration model for interaction features can assist programmers in interaction programming by analyzing and synthesizing interaction features. The agent-based middleware model provides a runtime framework for service multi-mode interaction. The programmable coordination media is able to effectively support software service coordination based on multimode interaction. To verify feasibility and efficiency of the above method, the design, implementation and performance analysis of Artemis-M3C, a multi-mode interaction middleware for software services, were introduced. The result shows that the above method is feasible and that the Artemis-M3C system is practical and effective in multi-mode interaction.
