Topology optimization is an effective technique for designing optimal material distributions within a given domain to achieve desired performance. this paper is based on the evaluation of a heat conduction based optimized design for additive manufacturing by using three popular topology optimization methods namely: the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method, the Level Set (LS) method and the Radial Basis Function (RBF) based level set method. For all these methods, the equations related to the thermal system are solved with finite element method for evolution of topological sensitivities. the optimization formulation comprises of heat transfer potential as an objective function and the maximum material volume as a design constraint. the optimal designs obtained are critically evaluated with respect to the requirements of additive manufacturing. Several numerical examples with different loads and constraints are presented to compare the performance of the three topology optimization methods in terms of the quality of optimized designs that are appropriate for additive manufacturing.

Global climate changes have increased the frequency and consequences of disasters, which affects the stable operation of the electric power network. thus, substation system as a significant part of electric power network, its optimal emergency operation facing disaster has attracted much attention. this paper focuses on the workforce routing and scheduling problem (WRSP) in the substation system emergency operation, which is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem withthe objective of maximizing system resilience. Task association constraint model and technicians routing constraint model are established to describe the cooperative relationship between technicians of different crews and the complex relationship between tasks respectively. Task and feeder output correlation constraint model is established to correlate the execution of tasks in continuous time withthe discrete time output of the substation feeders. In this way, the technician assignment is independent of time and the problem can be efficiently solved by optimization solver. the performance and effectiveness of the developed method is demonstrated using a practical case study. the results show that the developed model can effectively coordinate technicians and tasks, and improve the resilience of this system to disasters.

the urgent need for low-carbon energy has led to the rise of wind, solar, and hydropower. However, the irregularities of weather-dependent renewables, coupled with rising energy demand, call for including firm, dispatchable low-carbon sources. Nuclear energy, including advanced (Gen. IV) reactors, offers significant potential to complement renewables, ensuring a stable and adaptable energy system. In this paper, several advanced reactor concepts are analyzed in a Pyomo-based optimization model environment. We evaluate their flexibility and compare their potential utilization factors, including value factor (VF), capacity factor (CF), and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) under different market conditions at three price volatility levels. Our findings highlight how performance characteristics like output power, ramp rate, and thermal energy storage (TES) impact their efficacy. Generally, boththe VF and LCOE increase while CF decreases at higher market volatility, indicating fewer operating hours to capitalize on high demand and peak prices. the VF-adjusted LCOE (VFALCOE) metric illustrates this effect. For Moltex Energy's 900-MW TES concept, CF dropped from 100 % to 83.6 %, and LCOE rose from $85/MWh to $91/MWh from low to high volatility. Nevertheless, the VF increase from 106% to 151 %, resulting in a VFALCOE of $61/MWh for high volatility, highlighting the benefits of strategic electricity production.

Medical examinations play a crucial role in medical diagnosis and treatment. Withthe advancement of internetbased healthcare services and the implementation of a hierarchical medical system, it becomes imperative to redesign the regional medical examination center to meet patients' diverse service requirements. In this paper, we study the problem of redesigning the examination centers considering the heterogeneity of patient examinations. A mixed-integer programming model is established to determine the location and capacity of new facilities and the expansion of existing facilities to minimize costs associated with travel and round-trips. the commercial solver Gurobi is used to solve the model. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted using real data from the Pudong New Area of Shanghai to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. the experiment results indicate that our method can make patients who need multiple examinations visit the hospital only once.

In this study, we propose an adaptive multi-objective optimization energy management strategy for optimizing the instantaneous power split in fuel-cell/battery electric vehicle. the optimization objectives include improving fuel economy, maintaining the state of charge of battery at a medium level, and extending fuel cell lifespan by suppressing dramatic changes in fuel cell power. the weighting factors of the objective functions can be dynamically adjusted based on realtime operating data of the hybrid power system. the proposed strategy is simulated and compared with a rule-based strategy under four different driving cycles. the results demonstrate that our strategy can reduce fuel consumption in varying degrees, and it allows the fluctuations in state of charge of battery to be always controlled within a reasonable range. the most outstanding aspect of this strategy is that it enables an over 80% reduction on the average variation rate of fuel cell power. Our strategy has the features of not relying on prior knowledge of the driving cycles and precise modeling of the power system, giving it great potential in real-time applications.

this paper deals withthe problem of energy consumption minimization in Open RAN cell-free (CF) massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (mMIMO) systems under minimum per-user signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) constraints. Considering that several access points (APs) are deployed with multiple antennas, and they jointly serve multiple users on the same time-frequency resources, we design the precoding vectors that minimize the system power consumption, while preserving a minimum SINR for each user. We use a simple, yet representative, power consumption model, which consists of a fixed term that models the power consumption due to activation of the AP and a variable one that depends on the transmitted power. the mentioned problem boils down to a binary-constrained quadratic optimization problem, which is strongly non-convex. In order to solve this problem, we resort to a novel approach, which is based on the penalized convex-concave procedure. the proposed approach can be implemented in an O-RAN cell-free mMIMO system as an xApp in the near-real time RIC (RAN intelligent Controller). Numerical results show the potential of this approach for dealing with joint precoding optimization and AP selection.

Aiming at the problem of reactive power imbalance in AC metro, the equivalent circuit model is established by investigating the topology AC metro power supply system, and the change of reactive power in the whole day of the system is analyzed in combination withthe actual operation data of the metro. the reactive power evaluation indices are proposed to evaluate the influence of reactive power on the system. To solve the problem that the power factor of the system at night does not meet the requirements and there is no available device in the line for reactive power optimization, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to obtain the optimal configuration of reactive power compensation devices. the results show that the balance and optimization of reactive power can be achieved through reasonable configuration of compensation devices.

the ever-expanding scale and extensive business necessitate the comprehensive and lean management of terminal operations. As an effective bridge of cyber-physical fusion, digital twin (DT) provides revolutionary opportunities for intellectualized upgrades of terminals' operation mode. However, the complexity of diverse port elements, inter-coupled business processes, and massive but isolated information, poses challenges to DT system construction for automated container terminals (ACTs). To address these issues, this work proposes a DT modeling approach based on business decomposition and object-oriented design. then, an ACT-DT system architecture with high flexibility is proposed to orchestrate multi-source information in terminals. A case study of Qingdao port is finally presented for validation. the introduction of the ACT-DT system promotes cross- region, cross-business, and cross-source information sharing, and thus realizes the transparent management of full business processes in ACTs.
