The ever-increasing power demand and more frequent extreme weather results in increasing number of grid outage events. This paper proposes a resilient energy management scheme for a building community prototype installed with community-scale photovoltaic solar panel and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), aiming to enhance self-power supply capability of the community during the grid outage period. The scheme harnesses the community-scale renewable energy source and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and flexibility of building load shifting to maximize a warfare objective, i.e. the sum of served load of all buildings in the community over the grid outage horizon. An optimization algorithm previously proposed by the authors - Natural Aggregation Algorithm (NAA) is applied to solve the energy management model. Simulations are conducted based on the Australian "Smart Grid, Smart City" dataset to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents the possibility to use modern and very effective optimization algorithm called differential evolutionary optimization algorithm (DEOA) enhanced by Nelder-Mead Simplex algorithm (NMSA) for fully automatic ESD protection model calibration. This novel method requires only TLP measurement of specific protection device for optimal model calibration. Presented approach is currently being actively developed by authors and tested for various ESD protection devices to verify its robustness. It was in past successfully tested on electrostatic discharge (ESD) MOSFET [1]. Description of used macro-model and novel calibration method along with results of ESD Silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) macro-model calibration to empirical data are presented.

Three dimensional Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (3D-MPSoC) adoption. It is characterized by the integration of a large amount of hardware components on a single multilayer chip. However, heating is one of the major pitfalls of the 3D-MPSoCs. Three dimensional Network-on-Chip (3D-NoC) is used as the communication structure of 3D-MPSoCs. Its main role in system operation and performance makes the optimal 3D-NoC design a critical task. Final 3D-NoC configuration must fulfill all the application requirements and heating constraints of the system. Topology and mapping are some of the most critical parameters in 3D-NoC design, strongly influencing the 3D-MPSoC performance and cost. 3D-NoC topology and mapping has been solved for single application systems on homogeneous 3D-NoCs using single and multi-objective optimization algorithms. In this paper we use a multi-objective immune algorithm (MIA), to solve the multi-application 3D-NoC topology and mapping problems. Latency and power consumption are adopted as the target multi-objective functions constrained by the heating function. Our strategy has been applied on 8 3D-MPSoC benchmarks. Their final 3D-NoC configurations have up to 73% power and 42% latency enhancement when compared to previous reported results.

Nowadays, due to the development of power electronic technology, nonlinear electronic loads using power electronic circuits are widespread in power grids. The loads can consume more reliable and high-quality power through the power conversion circuits. However, the power grids can suffer significant harmonic currents caused by these power electronic circuits. This paper proposes a new harmonic compensation method of utilizing multiple power inverters that integrate distributed resources (DRs) to a microgrid. Therefore, harmonic problems can be solved without installing additional power filters to the grids. To coordinate multiple various DGs such as small distributed generators (DGs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs), the proposed method considers multiple objectives in terms of energy cost, generation margins of DGs and energy margins of BESSs. The optimization algorithm is constructed based on fuzzy multi-objective optimization model so that the proposed method assigns the additional output power of each DR that is needed for harmonic elimination. Simulations of the suggested coordination strategy for harmonic compensation using multiple DRs are conducted in the microgrid including two inverter-based DGs and one BESS to verify the performance of the proposed method.

In the reordering buffer problem a sequence of items located in a metric space arrive online, and have to be processed by a single server moving within the metric space. At any point in time, the first k still unprocessed items from the sequence are available for processing and the server has to select one of these items and process it by visiting its location. The goal is to process all items while minimizing the total distance the server moves. Englert, Racke, Westermann (STOC'07) gave a deterministic O(D·log k)-competitive online algorithm for weighted tree metrics with hop-diameter D. We improve the analysis of this algorithm and significantly improve the dependency on D. Specifically, we show that the algorithm is in fact O(log D+log k)-competitive. Our analysis is quite robust. Even when an optimal algorithm, to which we compare the online algorithm, is allowed to choose between the first h > k unprocessed items, the online algorithm is still O(h·(log D+log h)/k)-competitive. For h = (1 + ε)·k, with constant ε > 0, this is optimal. Our results also imply better competitive ratio for general metric spaces, improving the randomized O(log n · log~2 k) result for n-point metric spaces from STOC'07 to O(log n·log k).

We investigate three related and important problems connected to machine learning: approximating a submodular function everywhere, learning a submodular function (in a PAC-like setting), and constrained minimization of submodular functions. We show that the complexity of all three problems depends on the "curvature" of the submodular function, and provide lower and upper bounds that refine and improve previous results. Our proof techniques are fairly generic. We either use a black-box transformation of the function (for approximation and learning), or a transformation of algorithms to use an appropriate surrogate function (for minimization). Curiously, curvature has been known to influence approximations for submodular maximization, but its effect on minimization, approximation and learning has hitherto been open. We complete this picture, and also support our theoretical claims by empirical results.
Deterministic optimization algorithms unequivocally partition a complex energy landscape in inherent structures (ISs) and their respective basins of attraction. But can these basins be defined solely through geometric...
