The main focus of this work is on improving the resilience of the standalone microgrids using the available forecast of both energy sources and loads, provided that some smart loads are incorporated in the system. The proposed approach assumes that the smartness of the loads facilitates an accurate prediction of their consumption as well as the possible time span for their operation. The kernel of the proposed approach is to provide a greedy-based scheduling scheme of a group of non-preemptive loads in order to reduce the net deficit between the aggregate load and the low-price power profile, and therefore, the levelized cost of energy (LCoE) can be minimized. Based on the driven forecast, the power routings between the components of the microgrid are investigated considering the scheduling candidates of the incorporated smart loads. Thus, the optimal schedule is selected so as to ensure the maximum utilization of the low-price power. A stochastic optimization method based on the genetic algorithms (GAs) is used to cutdown the massive searching space and provide the optimal schedule within a reasonable time. An illustrative example is used to carry out this work using a group of synthetically created loads representing different facilities inside a hospital in Gaza city. simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce LCoE and meanwhile maximizing the utilization factor of the installed renewable energy sources.

From the perspective of thermodynamics, based on the structural characteristics of the vehicle engine permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driving cooling system and the principle of heat dissipation, a simplified mathematical model of the cooling system is established. Taking the optimal coolant temperature and system energy consumption optimization at the engine as the research goal, the fuzzy control algorithm is adopted to adjust the speed of the motor-driven cooling fan, and a nonlinear control strategy is introduced for a comparative study. The energy consumption of the cooling system is analyzed and optimized to ensure optimum engine outlet coolant temperature. The results show that the fuzzy control strategy has a fast response speed, which can control the coolant temperature at engine outlet within 90 ± 0.25 °C, and can reduce the energy consumption of the entire cooling system.

It is very hard to measure some process variables directly in actual industrial processes, so a soft senor model using adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimization based multi-kernel ELM with error feedback is proposed in this paper. Firstly, multi-kernel ELM is constructed by adding gaussian and polynomial kernel function to ameliorate the overfitting problem in traditional ELM. Secondly, we propose an adaptive PSO (APSO) for ameliorating the low efficiency problem in the later period of PSO method by adding mutation operator. When given parameter reaches a threshold, the mutation operator adaptively adjusts the position of the particle. Also, the proportion of two kernel functions and the kernel parameters in training process are obtained by APSO. In each iteration, the training error is back propagated to the hidden layer as the co-outputs of hidden layer for further improving the accuracy and stability of the model. Finally, a simulation experiment on the purified terephthalic acid (PTA) solvent system is made to verify the modeling accuracy and optimized performances. The evaluation result demonstrates that the proposed method can provide higher accuracy and a more reliable soft senor model compared with other method.

Modelling and optimization have long been established as a means of achieving efficiency in energy systems also in sustaining the environment. In Nigeria, where environmental pollution have become a challenge, the problem of pollution and safety has become a global concern whereby sustainable power generation systems with zero greenhouse emission will serve as a better way of sustaining the environment. simulation been a basic similitude tool to real life engineering design enable the engineers to understand the interactive flow process within an operating systems, postulating operation results, designing process systems or optimizing the operating system with optimum accuracy. This tool enables an engineer to establish the geometrical parameters for the actual design of the system. Cyclones, which are widely used as air pollution abatement equipment, are used in processing industries for removal of particulate matter (PM). A 1D2D centrifugal fan power driven cyclone is attached to a batch-type fixed-bed downdraft gasifier was modelled and simulated to determine the behaviour of the gasification products and the optimal efficiency of the cyclone. Applying mathematical modeling and CFD tools to understand the effect of the gas stream on the cyclone performance and a new optimized cyclone geometrical ratios based on the mathematical model was attained. Establishing the cyclone modelling was done by applying the heat content simulation tool (MATLAB-Software package) and using the response surface methodology (RSM) approach. The geometrical parameters in cyclone separators significantly affected the flow field and performance parameters. Analysis of the experimental design informed the researcher on the relationship between the effects of inlet dimensions and the vortex finder diameter on the performance of the cyclone. The cyclone design and simulation of the cyclone has shown that it can effectively remove solid particles from a gas stream (syn-gas). The calculation s

The paper proposes a novel three-stage framework for rapid and reliable design optimization of complex impedance matching transformers for energy harvesting applications. Our approach involves inverse and forward surrogate modeling techniques. The inverse model is utilized to obtain a good initial transformer dimensions at the equivalent network modeling level. The forward surrogates (here, space mapping ones) permit rapid design closure at the full-wave EM simulationmodeling level. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using a four-section compact transformer for energy harvesting applications. The circuit dimensions are scaled within wide ranges of the load impedance magnitude and phase (from 30 to 130 ohm and -26.5 to 26.5 degrees, respectively) at low computational cost corresponding to up to three EM analyses of the transformer structure. Reliability of the framework is validated through comprehensive numerical experiments as well as application case studies. The latter are provided to indicate that appropriate transformer design is critical for performance improvement of the rectifier circuits, both in terms of operational bandwidth and matching.

modeling realistic human joint limits is important for applications involving physical human-robot interaction. However, setting appropriate human joint limits is challenging because it is pose-dependent: the range of joint motion varies depending on the positions of other bones. The paper introduces a new technique to accurately simulate human joint limits in physics simulation. We propose to learn an implicit equation to represent the boundary of valid human joint configurations from real human data. The function in the implicit equation is represented by a fully connected neural network whose gradients can be efficiently computed via back-propagation. Using gradients, we can efficiently enforce realistic human joint limits through constraint forces in a physics engine or as constraints in an optimization problem.
