In actual operation, solid oxide fuel cells are vulnerable to performance degradation. Predicting degradation trends and taking appropriate measures to reduce voltage degradation can prolong the lifetime of fuel cells. In addition, because the influence of related factors on the voltage degradation and efficiency are mutually coupled, it is necessary to take into account the efficiency when decreasing the voltage degradation. Therefore, in this study a prognostic-based dynamic optimization strategy is proposed to quantitatively extend the fuel cell's life without significantly compromising on the generating efficiency. For the lack of learning samples, a prognostic method based on the similarity of phase space trajectory is utilized to estimate the remaining useful life of the fuel cell, and it is compared with a traditional data-driven prognostic method. A multi-objective dynamic optimization method is employed to determine the optimal efficiency-voltage degradation solution through the predicted operating lifetime. Using the proposed prognostic-based dynamic optimization strategy, the results show that the lifetime of the fuel cell can be effectively extended without significant reduction in the generating efficiency for three test degradation trajectories.

Multimode is the characteristic of industrial manufacturing processes due to different production strategies and environments. For multimode process monitoring, it is a challenge to identify different steady modes and transition modes. In this paper, a k nearest neighbours (KNN)-based density peaks clustering (DPC) method is applied to identify different modes. First, the local density of each sample, which is obtained with a KNN constraint and its minimum distance to the higher local density points are calculated as two indicators of the DPC algorithm to find the cluster centres of the training data. Then, the transition modes are identified by combining the moving window strategy and the DPC algorithm, where an index called the local density-distance ratio (LDDR) is employed. Finally, the monitoring algorithm is used to detect the faults for each operation mode. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated by a numerical example and a Tennessee Eastman (TE) benchmark process.

Before the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells, degradation is considered one of the biggest technical problems, which may lead to a decrease in the discharge performance of the fuel cell. This paper proposes a prognostic-based control strategy to restore the discharge performance during the degradation process, thereby extending the life of the fuel cell. A prognostic approach based on wavelet decomposition and an echo state network is utilized to predict the downward trend in the discharge performance, and then iterative learning controllers are designed to restore the discharge performance. Taking nickel coarsening and oxidation degradation mechanisms as an example, several controllers with different discharge performance recovery capabilities are built. The simulation results show that compared with no controller, the power generation efficiency using the proposed strategy is reduced by 12.4% at most, while the remaining useful lifetime is increased by at least 26.3%. The proposed strategy can restore the discharge performance without significant reduction in the generation efficiency. The proposed method is not only suitable for nickel coarsening and oxidation degradation, but also can be generalized to different types of degradation and different types of fuel cells.

This paper has developed a vision-based control approach for autonomous tracking and landing on a motional Unmanned surface vessel(USV) with an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV). First, a novel three-stage visual detection method is proposed to estimate the relative 3 D position between UAV and USV, where the USV stays in a suitable view of the camera of the UAV. Then a PID controller is designed to regulate the attitude of the quadrotor and the movement of the vessel, which enables the successful landing procedure of the UAV on a motional USV. Finally, lake experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Asynchronous tissue P systems with symport/antiport rules are a class of parallel computing models inspired by cell tissue working in a non-synchronized way, where the use of rules is not obligatory, that is, at a computation step, an enabled rule may or may not be applied. In this work, the notion of local synchronization is introduced at three levels: rules, channels, and cells. If a rule in a locally synchronous set of rules (resp., cells or channels) is used, then all enabled rules in the same locally synchronous set of rules (resp., whose involved channels or cells) should be applied in a maximally parallel manner and the implementation of these rules is finished in one computation step. The computational power of local synchronization on asynchronous tissue P systems with symport/antiport rules at the three levels is investigated. It is shown that asynchronous tissue P systems with symport/antiport rules and with locally synchronous sets of rules, channels, or cells are all Turing universal. By comparing the computational power of asynchronous tissue P systems with or without local synchronization, it can be found that the local synchronization is a useful tool to achieve a desired computational power.
