We are currently witnessing a gradual increase in interest in digital shadow and digital twin solutions in the field of industrial automation. These solutions require advanced approaches in the process of their creation and are gradually becoming an integral part of industrial automation. This paper focuses on the creation of a digital shadow of a physical robotic cell and progressively goes through all the phases from the analysis of communication problems through the design of possible solutions to the actual implementation of one of the proposed solutions. The connection between the virtual robotic cell and the industrial camera is based on the processing of the data sent by the camera located above the physical robotic cell. This data is processed by a program in the PLC and then transferred to the virtual environment of the digital shadow by communication between the two OPC servers. This paper provides a more detailed overview of one possible technique for connecting the virtual environment with the physical robotic cell.

Direct Current (DC) Microgrids have risen as a good option for better integrating distributed renewable energies and various highly dynamic DC loads, such as electrical vehicle supply equipment or industrial grids. However, for the large-scale deployment of such DC Microgrids, developing enhanced control strategies for these inverter-based, highly dynamic grids is crucial. The present paper introduces an innovative nonlinear control tailored for DC Microgrids supporting Alternative Current (AC) grids. Building upon existing methods, we extend the nonlinear control paradigm by incorporating multiple batteries and an AC link. This integration not only bolsters support for the AC grid, but also enhances the stability of DC voltage. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm through experimental evaluations conducted on a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) DC Microgrid configuration and compare it to a cascaded PI controller based on a linearized model.

A building’s window-to-wall ratio (WWR) plays a critical role in estimating heat loss, solar gain and daylighting levels, and is therefore essential for building energy modeling applications. Typically, an accurate WWR estimation corresponds to an accurate window segmentation result, which requires high quality rectified and annotated façade images. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end regression model that directly predicts the invisible building attribute, the WWR, from façade imagery. For comparison, we have adopted the latest proposed semantic segmentation of windows from façade images and calculate the WWR based on the result of the semantic segmentation. These two approaches are performed and compared on three public façade benchmarks. The experimental results demonstrate that the direct prediction of invisible building attributes is feasible. Furthermore, the regression-based approach can achieve similar WWR accuracy as the segmentation-based method when they use the same backbone.

Fundamental frequency estimates are essential for control and monitoring purposes in power systems. Hence, many devices exist that report frequency values. Future power system dynamics call for accurate frequency estimates with high reporting rates and a detailed determination of the measurement uncertainty. For a sophisticated analysis, even the used estimation algorithm becomes increasingly important in order to interpret the results. In this context, we present the evaluation of the well-known zero-crossing technique. We apply dedicated test signals in a hardware-based measurement setup and determine the resulting error metrics. We highlight the importance of differentiating between steady-state and dynamic test conditions, propose steps for an enhanced error assessment, and suggest possible ways to reduce systematic errors. We successfully implement an approach to reduce systematic errors under dynamic conditions and thereby significantly improve the comparability of frequency estimates of the zero-crossing algorithm.

In recent years, many studies have been conducted on local energy markets. While local energy markets are mostly modeled with economically rational participants, many house- holds also consider energy quality, such as energy locality, in their energy choices. Therefore, we propose to include participants’ heterogeneous preferences from energy locality to economic rationality in the design of a multi-agent system to ensure a more efficient use of locally generated energy, which helps to increase the attractiveness of participating in local energy markets. Our results show that our design can fulfill the individual preferences of local energy market participants and prove that energy is used most efficiently with a dominant local preference group.
