Thus,the need for developing and applying new intelligent power system dispatch tools are of great practical significance. In this paper, we introduce the overall business model of power system dispatch, the top level design approach of an intelligent dispatch system, and the parallel intelligent technology with its dispatch applications. We expect that a new dispatch paradigm,namely the parallel dispatch, can be established by incorporating various intelligent technologies, especially the parallel intelligent technology, to enable secure operation of complex power grids,extend system operators' capabilities, suggest optimal dispatch strategies, and to provide decision-making recommendations according to power system operational goals.展开更多

This paper presents a parallel steering control framework for an intelligent vehicle using moving horizon optimization.The framework considers lateral stability, collision avoidance and actuator saturation and describes them as constraints, which can blend the operation of a human driver and a parallel steering controller effectively. Moreover, the road hazard and the steering operation error are employed to evaluate the operational hazardous of an intelligent vehicle. Under the hazard evaluation,the intelligent vehicle will be mainly operated by the human driver when the vehicle operates in a safe and stable manner.The automated steering driving objective will play an active role and regulate the steering operations of the intelligent vehicle based on the hazard evaluation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed hazard-evaluation-oriented moving horizon parallel steering control approach, various validations are conducted, and the results are compared with a parallel steering scheme that does not consider automated driving situations. The results illustrate that the proposed parallel steering controller achieves acceptable performance under both conventional conditions and hazardous conditions.展开更多

To maximize their advantages, chatter suppressiontechnologies for simultaneous processes must be devel-oped. In this study, we constructed an automatic chattersuppression system with optimal pitch control for shared-surface parallel turning with rigid tools and a flexibleworkpiece, integrating in-process chatter monitoring basedon the cutting force estimation. The pitch angle betweentwo tools is tuned adaptively in a position control system inaccordance with the chatter frequency at a certain spindlespeed, in a similar manner as the design methodology forvariable-pitch cutters. The cutting force is estimatedwithout using an additional external sensor by employing amulti-encoder-based disturbance observer. In addition, thechatter frequency is measured during the process by per-forming a low-computational-load spectrum analysis at acertain frequency range, which makes it possible to cal-culate the power spectrum density in the control system ofthe machine tool. Thus, the constructed system for automatic chatter suppression does not require any addi-tional equipment.展开更多

When grout fills irregularities between the bolt and the rock, a keying effect is created to transfer the load to the bolt via shear resistance at the interface and within the grout. Previous research has revealed that the mechanical properties of the grout had a great impact on the load transfer capacity of the rock bolting system. This paper presents a method to enhance the rock bolting strength by introducing metal granules into the grouting material. Experimental results suggest that both the average peak load of pullout tests and the total energy absorption of the system will increase if some metal granules are mixed into the resin.展开更多
