One common problem associated with interconnected power systems is that the complete topology information and measurement data of the areas are not generally available or difficult to handle in real-time. This paper proposes a methodology to determine in real-time the reduced networks for the systems external to a given area. A sensitivity-based methodology is proposed to identify the nodes to be retained from the external areas. A network reduction methodology is then used to obtain the reduced equivalent for the entire system. A real-time network parameter adjustment algorithm is subsequently used to update the parameters of the reduced network under changes in operating condition. The proposed methods are validated with the help of the modified IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems.

This paper investigates the problem of Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation using a 2D novel smart antenna array configuration that was recently presented by the authors in [1]. The proposed 2D novel configuration overcomes the drawback of uniform linear array (ULA) which cannot detect signals arriving at grazing incidence. The proposed 2D novel array configuration is able to resolve signals arriving from narrowband plane wave sources close to the array endfire. The proposed array configuration comprises of doubly crossed uniform linear arrays (ULAs) so that the size and computational load of the proposed array is identical to that of a 2N-element conventional ULA. MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) is used as a tool of radio signal detection and estimation. A comparative study between ULA and the proposed 2D novel array is carried out in terms of effect of SNR (signal to noise ratio), number of scatterers, and number of snapshots.

In this paper, we present a Covariance Intersection (CI)-based algorithm for reducing the processing and communication complexity of multi-robot Cooperative Localization (CL). Specifically, for a team of N robots, our proposed approximate CI-based CL approach has processing and communication complexity only linear, O(N), in the number of robots. Moreover, and in contrast to alternative approximate methods, our approach is provably consistent, can handle asynchronous communication, and does not place any restriction on the robots' motion. We test the performance of our proposed approach in both simulations and experimentally, and show that it outperforms the existing linear-complexity split CI-based CL method.

Building accounts for nearly 40% of global energy consumption, and about 40% of that is consumed by HVAC systems. A typical way of saving HVAC energy cost is to formulate and solve the HVAC operation problem which minimizes the HVAC energy cost in 24 hours ahead. Traditionally, the problem is solved by using time-based approaches where decisions are calculated and executed at each discrete time instant. In this paper, an innovative event-based approach is developed in the Lagrangian relaxation framework so that the decisions are only calculated and executed on an “as needed” basis to reduce computational requirements and extend device lifetimes. Developing such an event-based approach is challenging since with a finite time horizon of 24 hours and non-stationary uncertainties in weather, cooling load, etc., there is no steady-state solution. Events and actions are therefore time-dependent, causing the policy space to be extremely large. Our key idea to overcome this difficulty is to 1) include time-dependent variables that affect decisions in the definition of events so that events and actions will become time-independent and the size of event-based policy will be reduced significantly; and 2) develop a Q-learning method based on events within the Lagrangian relaxation framework to obtain the optimal actions. Numerical results demonstrate significant reductions of computational efforts as compared with time-based approaches with similar levels of energy savings and human comfort.

This paper presents a P300 model for controlling a humanoid robot with mind, including an off-line phase with a fixed trial number for training the model and an on-line phase with an adaptive strategy for generating commands to the humanoid robot. Our control scheme includes a procedure of acquiring P300 signals, topographical distribution analysis of P300 signals, and a classification approach to identifying subjects' mental activities regarding robot-walking behavior. Our study shows that the adaptive model is fast and practical to control humanoid robot via brainwaves.

Early detection of autism is crucial for successfully dealing with it and reduce/eliminate its effects. In other words, early treatment can make a big difference in the lives of many children with this disorder. Consequently, in this study the pattern recognition algorithms are used to determine the unique features of the voice of autistic children to distinguish between the autistic children and normal children between ages 2 and 3. These descriptors extract various audio features such as temporal features, energy features, harmonic features, perceptual and spectral features. Two feature selection methods are used and the results are compared. One method is based on comparing the effect of using all of a group features together and another method compares the effect of using features one by one. The selected features are used to classify selected children into autistic and non-autistic ones. The results show 96.17 percent accuracy. After feature selection, we classified data using S.V.M classifier for recognizing two types of input data.

This paper presents an introduction to Evolving systems, which are autonomously controlled subsystems which self-assemble into a new Evolved System with a higher purpose. Evolving systems of aerospace structures often require additional control when assembling to maintain stability during the entire evolution process. This is the concept of Adaptive Key Component Control which operates through one specific component to maintain stability during the evolution. In addition this control must overcome persistent disturbances that occur while the evolution is in progress. We present theoretical results for the successful operation of Adaptive Key Component control in the presence of such disturbances and an illustrative example.

The main point of this paper is to present a time domain strategy for drug dosage to treat psychiatric disorders. A time domain model of emotion is obtained from an extension of a recently developed fractional nonlinear dynamic model of happiness. First, the Fractional Optimal Control law for incommensurate multi state systems is obtained. It will be then applied as an optimal drug administration procedure in the line of psychiatric disorders treatment. Results of this paper show that optimal control scheme is a proper approach to face the difficulties of analysis and control the incommensurate systems. It can be also clearly seen from the simulation results that this approach is very effective in the case that control methods are used as treatment techniques.
