Firstly, this paper proposes the definition and characteristics of micro energy networks, and describes the transformation and construction purposes of various energy forms in micro energy networks. We have established mathematical models for various forms of energy, including wind power, photovoltaic, natural gas, and electrical energy storage. We have established a mathematical model for the energy hub matrix, which provides a computational basis for the transformation of various forms of energy. Then, based on the previous research, an optimization function for the maximum of energy supply capacity of micro energy networks was proposed, which is a mixed integer linear programming problem and solved. Finally, based on a project example in China, calculations and analysis were conducted, and conclusions and suggestions were drawn.

This paper introduces an improved optimization model for the unit commitment (UC) problem of AC power systems considering multi-infeed VSC-HVDC links. The proposed formulation is based on the linear modeling of the AC network and point-to-point HVDC links, where power losses are properly considered by piecewise linearization of AC lines, DC links and VSC units. This UC model is featured by a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) framework, thus enabling effective calculations of the optimal hourly generation scheduling for multi-infeed VSC-HVDC power grids. These sophisticated power grid studies are associated with day-ahead electricity markets carried out by power system engineers at control centers. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed MILP-based UC model, the IEEE RTS 24-bus test system is used to carry out two case studies. The first incorporates three point-to-point HVDC links where an in-depth analysis is carried by comparing its outcomes, with and without HVDC links. The second case study features two interconnected areas having three-infeed HVDC links and several tens of generation units. Both systems are analyzed for a 24-hr planning horizon. It is confirmed that the UC model described in this paper permits to study practical power grids with multi-infeed VSC-HVDC links.

A railway network is an indispensable part of the public transportation system in many major cities around the world. In order to provide a safe and reliable service, a fleet of passenger trains must undergo regular maintenance. These maintenance operations are lengthy procedures, which are planned for one year or a longer period. The planning specifies the dates of trains' arrival at the maintenance center and should take into account the uncertain duration of maintenance operations, the periods of validity of the previous maintenance, the desired number of trains in service, and the capacity of the maintenance center. The paper presents a nonlinearprogramming formulation of the considered problem and several optimization procedures which were compared by computational experiments using real world data. The results of these experiments indicate that the presented approach is capable to be used in real world planning process.

The transformation of passive electric power distribution grids (PDG) towards active ones relies heavily on digital and communication technologies to perform advanced functionalities such as optimal power flow or state estimation. The knowledge of the PDG topology is a fundamental requirement for enabling these functionalities. Since this information is often unavailable or outdated, topology identification (TI) appears as a key component in the smart grid transition. This paper analyses the accuracy of a recently proposed TI algorithm based on mixed integer linear programming (MILP) in a cyber-physical power system (CPPS) testing platform. Experimental results show the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm against errors in the sensor and pseudo-measurements.

Traditionally, most schematic metro maps in practice as well as metro map layout algorithms adhere to an octolinear layout style with all paths composed of horizontal, vertical, and 45(degrees)-diagonal edges. Despite growing interest in more general multilinear metro maps, generic algorithms to draw metro maps based on a system of k >= 2 not necessarily equidistant slopes have not been investigated thoroughly. In this paper, we present and implement an adaptation of the octolinearmixed-integerlinearprogramming approach of N & ouml;llenburg and Wolff (2011) that can draw metro maps schematized to any set C of arbitrary orientations. We further present a data-driven approach to determine a suitable set C by either detecting the best rotation of an equidistant orientation system or by clustering the input edge orientations using a k-medians algorithm. We demonstrate the new possibilities of our method using several real-world examples.

This paper presents a novel algorithm to optimize energy capacity restoration of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). VRFB technologies can have their lives prolonged through a partial restoration of the lost capacity by electrolyte rebalancing. Our algorithm finds the optimal "number" and "time" of these rebalancing services to minimize the life-time service cost, while maximizing revenues from energy arbitrage. We show that the linearized form of this problem can be analytically solved, and that the objective function is convex. To solve the complete problem, we develop a two-step mixed integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm, which first finds the bounds for optimal number of services and then optimizes the number, and time of the services. We then present a theoretical analysis and optimization results for a case study of energy arbitrage in New York ISO.

This paper proposes a novel optimal Energy Management System (EMS) algorithm for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging in smart electric railway stations with renewable generation. As opposed to previous railway EMS methods, the proposed EMS coordinates the combined Regenerative Braking Energy (RBE), renewable generation, electric railway demand and EV charging demand at the EV parking lot of the railway station. Numerical results using a scenario -based approach on an actual railway station in Chur, Switzerland demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively minimize the expected daily operating cost for the train station over an entire year.

Air traffic controllers engage in complex and dynamic decision-making when managing an airspace. This is especially true in the immediate vicinity of an airport. Unlike in en-route or terminal area airspace where aircraft usually traverse well established routes and procedures, near the airport after completing a standard arrival procedure, the routes to the final approach are only partially defined. In this airspace (i.e., 10-12 nautical miles from the airport), the local tower controllers tactically guide aircraft through tromboning and vectoring commands to maintain separation requirements between aircraft and space them out at the runway. In this paper, a mixed-integerlinearprogramming formulation is used to design the order-sequencing of aircraft at a single runway, by allowing vectoring and tromboning, to maximize airport throughput and minimize the distance traversed while maintaining safety. The mathematical model is formulated by time-metering aircraft at potential conflict points to avoid conflicts. With the goal of building a decision support tool that emulates the control techniques and tactical maneuvers of local tower controllers, the proposed optimization formulation generates conflict-free and safe trajectories that conform to the scheduling.

This paper presents a three-step conceptual framework that can be used to structure the care-related capacity planning process in a nursing home context. The proposed framework provides a sound practical vehicle to organise client-centred care without overstretching available capacity. Within this framework, an MILP for shift scheduling and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for task-scheduling are proposed. To investigate the performance of the proposed framework, it is benchmarked against the current situation. The results show that considerable improvements can be achieved in terms of efficiency and waiting time. More specifically, it is shown that very modest waiting times can be achieved without exceeding available capacity, despite the fluctuations in care demand across the day.

For the practical application of a gas-electric hybrid UAV, algorithms are needed to synthesize joint motion and power plans that satisfy path and energy constraints. Specifically, this paper considers the problem of finding an energy-optimal flight path toward a destination under the flight path constraints and battery-only operational constraints. Standard techniques such as reinforcement learning, or Dynamic programming are computationally expensive. This paper investigates the performance of the A* algorithm on this problem to reduce the computational complexity and, by extension, the computational time. By constructing the objective as the minimization of unrecoverable energy expenditures, the A* algorithm, Dijkstra's Algorithm, and a proposed iterative A* solution, were successfully implemented for this problem. The developed optimal control policies were observed to satisfy regions with battery-only restrictions and match the total route cost through comparison to the Dynamic programming solution of the same environment. Results show that the use of the A* algorithm and Dijkstra's algorithm obtain an optimal solution of 1.64-8.85 times faster than the optimal solution obtained through Dynamic programming.
