The COVID-19 pandemic has had severe consequences on the global economy, mainly due to indiscriminate geographical lockdowns. Moreover, the digital tracking tools developed to survey the spread of the virus have generated serious privacy concerns. In this paper, we present an algorithm that adaptively groups individuals according to their social contacts and their risk level of severe illness from COVID-19, instead of geographical criteria. The algorithm is fully distributed and therefore, individuals do not know any information about the group they belong to. Thus, we present a distributed clustering algorithm for adaptive pandemic control.

As the penetration of distributed generation resources in distribution networks increases, the need for designing micro-grids also increases. Micro-grids can operate in islanded and grid-connected modes. When a microgrid is connected to the main grid, it economically exchanges power with the upstream grid. However, in the islanded mode, the micro-grid can provide its own local demand. In addition to the technical and economic advantages due to the presence of micro-grids, there are some issues about the protection of distribution systems. The most important issue is the short circuit level in both islanded and grid-connected modes of operation. In this paper, a smart overcurrent relay is proposed that can adapt itself to the operation modes of a micro-grid. This relay detects the operation mode of the micro-grid using an adaptive algorithm. Two main features of the suggested adaptive method are the optimized accuracy and higher execution speed of the algorithm in determining the operation mode of the micro-grid. The optimal setting that is predefined in the relay is then activated based on the corresponding mode. The entire processing is performed in the relay itself by sampling the voltage and current of the relay line. Consequently, this relay can be installed and used in any location of a network without needing any communication infrastructure. Finally, the proposed method is implemented on a micro-grid. According to the numerical results, the coordination performance superiority of this smart relay over conventional overcurrent relays is proven.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a Robust Shrine Affine Projection Sign (RSAPS) adaptive control algorithm for power quality improvement. Various limitations of conventional 2-level inverters can be overcome using a 5-level Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter (CHB-MLI). Such a CHB-MLI is realized and controlled as a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) unit in this paper. The DC link of capacitors have been maintained to reference value by using proportional-integral (PI) controllers without using complex balancing circuits. Extensive simulation has been performed and a scaled -down experimental prototype model has been developed in the laboratory to test the system under steady state and dynamic load conditions using dSPACE-1104 digital signal processor. The simulation and experimental results show the source current harmonics, DC voltage regulation, power factor correction, weight updation etc. under varying load. The proposed algorithm gives satisfactory performance in terms of weight convergence, computational burden, mean square error (MSE) etc. under dynamic load conditions and in addition the THD obtained in source voltage and current is within acceptable IEEE-519 limits.

In the present work, we consider weakly-singular integral equations arising from linear second-order elliptic PDE systems with constant coefficients, including, e.g. linear elasticity. We introduce a general framework for optimal convergence of adaptive Galerkin BEM. We identify certain abstract conditions for the underlying meshes, the corresponding mesh-refinement strategy, and the ansatz spaces that guarantee that the weighted-residual error estimator is reliable and converges at optimal algebraic rate if used within an adaptive algorithm. These conditions are satisfied, e.g. for discontinuous piecewise polynomials on simplicial meshes as well as certain ansatz spaces used for isogeometric analysis. Technical contributions include the localization of (non-local) fractional Sobolev norms and local inverse estimates for the (non-local) boundary integral operators associated to the PDE system.

In this paper a free chattering sliding mode is proposed to generate the guidance law, in order to achieve the tracking of the ground moving target while an adaptive method is improved to deal with uncertainty. Sliding mode control is low sensitivity to planet parameter variations and uncertainties which eliminates the necessity of exact modeling. One of the major advantages of the proposed controller lies that its implementation only requires online estimation without the knowledge of bounds on system uncertainties. At first, the error dynamic of the tracking problem is described based on the range between unmanned aerial vehicle and ground moving target. Then, the nonlinear guidance law is proposed based on adaptive second order sliding mode control to achieve robustness, invariance and finite time tracking, and the chattering effect has been eliminated. adaptive estimation is used to improve the command state generation and deal with the uncertainty of the target estimation. Closed loop stability is proved via Lyapunov analysis. Moreover, the accurate tracking of the target state has been achieved in the presence of the uncertainty which has been demonstrated in the simulation section.
