This paper presents a methodology to optimize the parameters of the frequency controller installed in a battery energy storage system (BESS) to minimize frequency deviation considering electricity system operator (ESO) imposed rate of change constraints. The problem is formulated with a non-linear programming (NLP) structure and the exterior penalty function (EPF) method is applied to solve it efficiently. The impact of the location of the BESS on the frequency nadir is quantified by simulations in a medium voltage (MV) distribution network benchmark with a high proportion of distributed energy resources (DER). Simulations are performed with detailed dynamic models in DIgSILENT (R) Power Factory (TM) in combination with Python for data analysis and manipulation. Simulation results show the suitability of the proposed approach.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new mixed repetitive group sampling (RGS) plan based on the process capability index, C-pk, where the quality characteristics of interest follow the normal distribution with unknown mean and unknown variance. Tables are constructed to determine the optimal parameters for practical applications for both symmetric and asymmetric fraction non-conforming cases. The advantages of this proposed mixed sampling plan are also discussed. The proposed sampling plan is also compared with other existing sampling plans. Design/methodology/approach In order to determine the optimal parameters of the proposed mixed RGS plan based on C-pk, the authors constructed tables for various combinations of acceptable and limiting quality levels (LQLs). For constructing tables, the authors followed the approach of two points on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. The optimal problem is formulated as a non-linear programming where the objective function to be minimized is the average sample number (ASN) and the constraints are related to lot acceptance probabilities at acceptable quality level and LQL under the OC curve. Findings The proposed mixed RGS plan will be a new addition to the literature of acceptance sampling. It is shown that the proposed mixed plan involves minimum ASN with desired protection to both producers and consumers compared to other existing sampling plans. The practical application of the proposed mixed sampling plan is also explained with an illustrative real-time example. Originality/value In this paper, the authors propose a new mixed RGS plan based on the process capability index C-pk, where the quality characteristic of interest follows the normal distribution with unknown mean and unknown variance. Tables are constructed to determine the optimal parameters for practical applications. The proposed mixed sampling plan can be used in all production industries. This kind of mixed RGS plan is not available in the li

The paper argues against the polarisation of the health economics literature into pro- and anti-QALY camps. In particular, we suggest that a crucial distinction should be made between the QALY measure as a metric of health, and QALY maximisation as an applied social choice rule. We argue against the rule but for the measure and that the appropriate conceptualisation of health-care rationing decisions should see the main task as the integration of competing and possibly incommensurable normative claim types. We identify the main types as consequences, rights, social contracts, individual votes and community values and note situations in which the contribution of each claim type is limited. We go on to show that the integration of (at least some of) these claim types can be formalised within the mathematical framework provided by non-linear programming.

Due to increasing penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG), conventional distribution networks have been gradually transforming into their active form, where microgrids may serve as fundamental building blocks. As the primary step towards microgrid planning, optimal DGs placement and sizing can reduce the total energy losses by localizing power supply to loads. In this paper, aDGoptimal placementmethod byminimizing the total energy losses is proposed, where the planning is formulated as a non-linear programming (NLP) problem. AC optimal power flow (OPF) is used to solve this planning problem by considering operational constraints and uncertainties in load and renewable power generation of the network. IEEE 33-bus test system and a real 404-bus distribution system operated by Saskatoon Light and Power in Saskatoon, Canada are used to validate the proposed method. The proposed method also shows superior performance compared to existing methods.

In the last 60 years, remanufacturing has evolved as the major way for recovering value from products or components of the product, because the remanufactured product or component is not only cheaper than those obtained from conventional sources of manufacturing and/or purchasing, but the outputs are also "good-as-new". The automobile sector, in particular, has seen predominant remanufacturing. Given the benefits of remanufacturing, this study proposes a new prospective business approach, particularly for the Indian automobile sector by introducing component remanufacturing. Particularly this study considers Multiple Products (MP) that are assembled by proposing Component Remanufacturing (CR) as a new source along with regular manufacturing and purchasing sources for components. In addition, this study considers the complexities of "Backordering (BO)" along with a new proposal for "Product Substitution (PS)" option to satisfy demand. Hence, the research problem considered in this study is referred as "MP-CR problem with BO&PS". For this complex and new problem, the study empirically demonstrates that the MP-CR problem with BO&PS is a new prospective profitable business approach in comparison with the existing "Multi Products problem with Backordering (MP problem with BO)" for an Indian automobile OEM, by proposing a mathematical model with the objective of profit maximization.

Visual Question Answering (VQA) lies at the intersection of vision and language domains necessitating learning representations from multiple modalities. While the model development for VQA has witnessed tremendous growth, the efforts for its deployment on embedded devices have been lagging limiting its true potential. In this work, the authors address this challenge by designing a novel hardware- friendly architecture for VQA based on the transformer model with cross-modality attention. The memory footprint of the VQA model is optimized for on-device deployment using a distributed framework for Post Training Quantization (PTQ) formulated as a non-linear programming (NLP) problem. The NLP problem is solved using an Evolutionary algorithm to determine the low-bit representation of the VQA model with minimal accuracy drop compared to the full precision model. The quantized model for VQA with a marginal accuracy drop of less than 2%, resulted in 4 times memory improvement, and over 2 times latency improvement, enabling its successful deployment on the Samsung Galaxy S23 device. The comprehensive study explores the potential of the proposed generic end-to-end pipeline from VQA model development to its deployment.

In this paper, a bi-objective priority based assignment problem (BPBAP) related to an industrial project, is considered in which, depending upon the work breakdown structure, the n tasks involved in the project are divided into two categories. One of the categories consists of m primary tasks and the other one consists of ( n - m) secondary tasks (for m < n). The project is such that the secondary tasks can be executed only after the primary tasks are finished, however, the tasks within each category may be executed simultaneously. This problem is a special case of categorized assignment scheduling problem, discussed extensively in literature. The BPBAP is studied with the objective of minimizing simultaneously, the two criteria namely, total execution time and total assignment cost of the project which are equal to the sum of execution times and assignment costs respectively, of primary and secondary tasks. Generally, it is not possible to optimize both the objectives simultaneously, therefore, there is a need to do time-cost trade-off analysis of the problem. Since, the present problem is based on two-stage execution of the project (one stage for each category of tasks), therefore, a criteria based iterative algorithm considering all the possible combinations of the parameters of both the categories, is developed that finds all the non-dominated points of BPBAP in a polynomial time. Numerical illustrations are provided in the support of theory.
