Photovoltaic systems for balcony power plant applications are rapidly growing, and with it comes the need for holistic concepts for energy utilization. Since these systems are intended for users without deep technical knowledge, the applications need to work and optimize themselves automatically without the user having to interfere. Therefore, this article presents a method to estimate the azimuth and the inclination of photovoltaic modules by analyzing the on-site power data and comparing it to a power forecast by Forecast. Solar, thereby making it unnecessary for users to provide these values themselves. The information gained hereby can be used to obtain and optimize a power forecast considering prevailing on-site conditions for energy management purposes. This is done by using low-volume power data at hourly resolution, where a single day of data is enough to make an estimation. The results of this method provide PV installation parameters with a resolution of the azimuth in 45(degrees)-steps and the inclination in 15(degrees)-steps, which are matched to the best-fitting power forecast.

We consider the problem of sparse signal reconstruction from noisy one-bit compressed measurements when the receiver has access to side-information (SI). We assume that compressed measurements are corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise before quantization and sign-flip error after quantization. A generalized approximate message passing-based method for signal reconstruction from noisy one-bit compressed measurements is proposed which is then extended for the case where the receiver has access to a signal that aids signal reconstruction, i.e., side-information. Two different scenarios of side-information are considered-a) side-information consisting of support information only, and b) side information consisting of support and amplitude information. SI is either a noisy version of the signal or a noisy estimate of the support of the signal. We develop reconstruction algorithms from one-bit measurements using noisy SI available at the receiver. Laplacian distribution and Bernoulli distribution are used to model the noise which when applied to the signal yields the SI for the above two cases. The Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used to estimate the noise parameter using noisy one-bit compressed measurements and the SI. We show that one-bit compressed measurement-based signal reconstruction is quite sensitive to noise, and the reconstruction performance can be significantly improved by exploiting side-information at the receiver when available.

This article addresses the optimal containment problem of heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs) with dynamic leaders via reinforcement learning (RL), where the dynamics of all agents are all completely unknown. A distributed model-free observer is constructed for each follower to estimate the leaders' dynamics and the output trajectories inside the convex hull formed by the leaders. Based on the designed observers, the optimal containment problem is formulated as an optimal tracking control issue. Then the discounted performance functions are introduced to obtain algebraic Riccati equations (AREs). And a model-free RL algorithm is developed to learn the AREs online. To implement this algorithm, we design a single critic neural network structure for each follower to approximate Q -function, and estimate optimal control policy and worst-case adversarial input policy. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The intrinsic nature of non-independent and identically distributed datasets on heterogeneous devices slows down the distributed model training process and reduces the training accuracy. To settle this problem, we propose a dataset reconstruction scheme to transform the data distribution of training device's dataset into independent and identically distributed dataset via data exchange among trusted devices. For energy efficiency, we further consider power control for the devices. We then formulate an optimization problem, which is a mixed integer non-linear programming problem, to minimize the total energy consumption for each round of distributed training. Due to the NP-hardness and coupling property of the optimization problem, we decompose it into two subproblems for dataset reconstruction and power control, respectively. An approximation algorithm is designed to obtain a near-optimal auxiliary devices set for dataset reconstruction with minimum energy consumption, while meeting the variance constraint of the optimization problem. We prove that approximation algorithm has a worst-case approximation ratio of 1+ln|Omega i(t)|, where |Omega i(t)| is the required data samples for dataset reconstruction of each training device. For power control, we design a dynamic programming algorithm to further reduce the energy consumption. For comparison, we propose three benchmark schemes that adopt either one of the algorithms or neither. We also customize three baseline algorithms based on the state-of-the-arts to compare with our proposed algorithm. Numerical results show that, our proposed algorithm outperforms three benchmarks on the average energy consumption for one round for different cases. When varying the labels that each device owns, our proposed algorithm outperforms the other three baseline algorithms on training accuracy. Besides, when setting a target accuracy, our proposed algorithm always has the lowest energy consumption.
We give a simple approximation algorithm for a common generalization of many previously studied extensions of the maximum size stable matching problem with ties. These generalizations include the existence of critical...

Worst-case robust approximation was proven to be efficient in alleviating the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) influence for source positioning. However, the existing time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)-based worst-case solutions still have two issues: 1) Inaccurate objective transformations are introduced in some algorithms, which reduce the accuracy;2) A method with higher accuracy is computationally intensive. This study proposes an accurate and simplified worst-case approximation method to tackle the troubles. Precisely, we first prove that the nonconvex worst-case objective is piecewise monotone to the NLOS bias. We further use monotonicity to derive an accurate and convex expression of the worst-case objective. Then, we propose simplified transformations to redefine the worst-case approximation problem with fewer constraints. Besides, we prove the effectiveness of the simplified transformations. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed method with moderate computation exhibits better performance than the state-of-the-art worst-case approximation algorithms.

The optimization control of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification system holds significant importance in the power generation industry. This paper presents an engineering fastest controller combined with active disturbance rejection control (EFC-ADRC) to enhance the control performance in SCR denitrification process. Compared with EFC, EFC-ADRC strategy has better performance in disturbances rejection when using the extended state observer(ESO) to compensate for uncertain disturbances. Two optimization methods are adopted including online Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic approximation (SPSA) and offline whale optimization algorithm (WOA), to tune the filter parameters in EFC by matching the time-varying characteristics of the process. Finally, the superior performance of the proposed control strategy in terms of set point tracking and disturbance rejection is verified through simulation experiments.
