The design of mooring systems plays a pivotal role in the success of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) projects. This process naturally involves iterations, as design and analysis are intricately linked. Despite the inherent nonlinearity of mooring system restoring forces, many designers opt for employing an equivalent linear mooring systemstiffness matrix to expedite the optimization process in early design stages. This article aims to underscore the limitations associated with relying on the equivalent linear model when compared to accounting for nonlinear restoring forces during optimization processes. To illustrate this point, a case study was conducted using the reference semi-submersible platform VolturnUS-S. The study considered intermediate to large water depths and addressed three different mooring configurations: catenary, semi-taut, and taut lines. The analysis focused on several critical aspects, including offset watch circles, line tensions (including those at the anchors), and a cost estimate based on the different models. The findings indicate that, for catenary-based mooring systems, the linear model remains a good approximation, leading to no significant loss of accuracy in the context of early design stages. As the lines become tauter, however, the nonlinearities become more pronounced and the errors involved in the linear model can reach unacceptable levels.

The omnidirectional mobile robotic arm system is a highly coupled, multivariate, and highly nonlinear system. The traditional modeling approach uses Lagrange method to establish dynamic model, which suffers from issues of complex modeling, unknown model parameters, and insufficient accuracy in modeling. In this paper, a modeling method based on Koopman operator theory is proposed for this system, which is essentially a data-driven modeling method. Specifically, this paper collects data on system dynamic characteristics and transforms complex nonlinear models into high-dimensional linear models. This paper preprocesses the voltage data in the dataset based on platform characteristics and obtains the Koopman high-dimensional linear model, avoiding the complex modeling problems using Lagrange methods. Simulation has been performed, which confirms the accuracy and effectiveness of using Koopman operator theory for modeling omnidirectional mobile manipulators.

Runtime orchestration of cloud-native microservice systems remains a challenge with many technology options, such as Kubernetes for managing containers and OASIS TOSCA, a standard for orchestrating cloud services. Researchers and practitioners have proposed different approaches on how the benefits of Kubernetes and TOSCA could be combined, but followed different design philosophies and did not reach consensus. An analysis of the different combinations is missing and existing TOSCA and Kubernetes combinations do not consider the integration of real-time embedded controllers without container workloads, nor a safeguarding of configuration changes, which can be achieved using the GitOps paradigm. In this experience report, we describe and analyze different options for combining TOSCA and Kubernetes. Following one of the options, we have enhanced an existing TOSCA orchestrator to demonstrate software updates across heterogeneous software services as well as a GitOps extension for TOSCA service models. We found that TOSCA workflows are well suited for updates spanning different technologies and that a custom GitOps operator is needed in case not all components are orchestrated by Kubernetes.

This paper proposes a new broadband vibrational energy harvester (VEH) based on switchable dynamical systems using an electropermanent magnet (EPM). A broadband harvesting characteristic is evaluated by solving governing equations of the VEH numerically. The effectiveness of the proposed VEH is verified by comparing a drastic increase in a harvested power with a Joule loss due to a short-time pulsed current applied to the EPM.

This paper uses the MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape environment to evaluate the performance of a conventional Volkswagen (VW) Crafter, equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 2.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection Common Rail Diesel (TDI CR) engine, which is converted into a hybrid vehicle. A parallel hybrid vehicle powered by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is compared to the conventional version. A genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to tune the classical PID controller to optimize energy consumption. A novel methodology is also introduced based on the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) method, leveraging an online data acquisition (DAQ) system integrated into the vehicle's Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) system. The acquired CAN bus data is analyzed using LabVIEW and Net CAN plus 110 hardware. The simulated vehicle demonstrates better performance than the real vehicle based on the comparison between the simulation and experimental results. The transformed hybrid vehicle achieves 75.11% reduction in fuel consumption and an energy efficiency of 84.62%.

The increase of nonlinear loads in distribution networks has led to a more serious harmonic issue and an increasing demand for monitoring and mitigation. The traditional configuration of monitoring and control equipment requires access to numerous devices, resulting in low efficiency and high costs. Aiming at global harmonic improvement, this article presents an optimal configuration method for harmonic monitoring devices. Firstly, the topology connectivity model is established based on the network topology for harmonic state estimation and observability analysis. Subsequently, the ant colony algorithm is adapted to determine the quantity and position of monitoring devices. Based on the optimal configuration result of harmonic monitoring devices, an improved multi-objective ant colony algorithm is proposed to solve the configuration of active power filters (APFs) to achieve global harmonic improvement. Then, an IEEE-18 bus testsystem that incorporates nonlinear loads is conducted in simulation. After configuring harmonic monitoring devices and APFs according to the results, the harmonic distortion in the distribution network can meet the recommended standard.
