Optimization methods for long-horizon, dynamically feasible motion planning in robotics tackle challenging non-convex and discontinuous optimization problems. Traditional methods often falter due to the nonlinear characteristics of these problems. We introduce a technique that utilizes learned representations of the system, known as Polytopic Action Sets, to efficiently compute long-horizon trajectories. By employing a suitable sequence of Polytopic Action Sets, we transform the long-horizon dynamically feasible motion planning problem into a linear Program. This reformulation enables us to address motion planning as a mixedintegerlinear Program (MILP). We demonstrate the effectiveness of a Polytopic Action-Set and Motion Planning (PAAMP) approach by identifying swing-up motions for a torque-constrained pendulum as fast as 0.75 milliseconds. This approach is well-suited for solving complex motion planning and long-horizon Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) in dynamic and underactuated systems such as legged and aerial robots.

In the context of increasing decentralization of the energy supply system, the concepts of microgrids are well suited to realise a reduction of CO2-emissions and create opportunities for new business models. For this the operation of the microgrid has a significant impact. In real systems, however, the consideration of uncertainties in generation and consumption data is essential for the operating strategy. Therefore, in this paper we propose an optimization model based on mixed-integer linear programming for the hybrid microgrid of a residential building district and include stochastic optimization in a computationally efficient way. For this, a two-stage approach is used. In a first step, we do a day-ahead optimization to determine a schedule for the combined heat and power plant and the power exchanged with the grid. In a second step, based on the results of the day-ahead optimization and the observed values for the uncertain parameters the intraday optimization is carried out. Using a numerical example, we demonstrate the advantages of this stochastic optimization over conventional optimization based on point forecasts. The data used originates from a real project district in Darmstadt, Germany. Copyright (C) 2020 The Authors.

Disruptions in the natural gas supply chain result in reduced throughput and associated emissions and losses, causing significant economic, environmental, and social impacts. Therefore, it is crucial to design supply chains that are resilient and sustainable to prevent or reduce the effects of disruptions. This paper proposes a novel mixed-integer linear programming model, which optimizes the natural gas supply chain in terms of resilience and sustainability, by examining the impact of an additional workflow design (contingency pipeline) located between the shutdown inlet and outlet nodes in the transmission echelon. The model is applied to a "real world" case, using data collected from gas companies operating in Nigeria. Both steady and transient states of the system are examined in this study through a set of scenarios. The best final solution was found to yield 93.6% performance increase when compared to target throughput and 63% performance increase with the introduction of the contingency when compared with the baseline scenario.

Community-based off-grid polygeneration plants based on micro-hydropower are a practical solution to provide clean energy and other essential utilities for rural areas with access to suitable rivers. Such plants can deliver co-products such as purified water and ice for refrigeration, which can improve standards of living in such remote locations. Although polygeneration gives advantages with respect to system efficiency, the interdependencies of the integrated process units may come as a potential disadvantage, due to susceptibility to cascading failures when one of the system components is partially or completely inoperable. In the case of a micro-hydropower-based polygeneration plant, a drought may reduce electricity output, which can, in turn, reduce the level of utilities available for use by the community. The study proposes a fuzzy mixed-integer linear programming model for the optimal operational adjustment of an off-grid micro-hydropower-based polygeneration plant seeking to maximize the satisfaction levels of the community utility demands, which are represented as fuzzy constraints. Three case studies are considered to demonstrate the developed model. The use of a diesel generator for back-up power is considered as an option to mitigate inoperability during extreme drought conditions.
