A poorly calibrated model undermines confidence in the effectiveness of building energy simulation, impeding the widespread application of advanced energy conservation measures (ECMs). Striking a balance between information-gathering efforts and achieving sufficient model credibility is crucial but often obscured by ambiguities. To address this gap, we model and calibrate a test bed with different levels of information (LOI). Beginning with an initial model based on building geometry (LOI 1), we progressively introduce additional information, including nameplate information (LOI 2), envelope conductivity (LOI 3), zone infiltration rate (LOI 4), AHU fan power (LOI 5), and HVAC data (LOI 6). The models are evaluated for accuracy, consistency, and the robustness of their predictions. Our results indicate that adding more information for calibration leads to improved data fit. However, this improvement is not uniform across all observed outputs due to identifiability issues. Furthermore, for energy-saving analysis, adding more information can significantly affect the projected energy savings by up to two times. Nevertheless, for ECM ranking, models that did not meet ASHRAE 14 accuracy thresholds can yield correct retrofit decisions. These findings underscore equifinality in modeling complex building systems. Clearly, predictive accuracy is not synonymous with model credibility. Therefore, to balance efforts in information-gathering and model reliability, it is crucial to (1) determine the minimum level of information required for calibration compatible with its intended purpose and (2) calibrate models with information closely linked to all outputs of interest, particularly when simultaneous accuracy for multiple outputs is necessary.

The need for better search and rescue capabilities has led to the increased demand for collaborative aerial-ground multi-robot deployments. However, most existing solutions require high communication bandwidth or bulky sensor equipment that is not suitable especially for aerial robots. To make the execution of these tasks more efficient, this paper proposes an angle-specified heterogeneous leader-follower formation framework consisting of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in a 3D space and ground robots moving in a 2D plane. The UAVs are controlled to maintain a desired angle-specified formation with the first three UAVs as the leaders forming a triangular shape and the remaining UAVs as the followers. The follower UAVs only need direction measurements to track the leader UAVs. For the ground robots, two leader robots track the UAV group and determine the orientation and scale of the ground formation, while the follower robots track the leader robots using only direction measurements. The proposed heterogeneous formation framework is energy-efficient as most robots only require low-cost and lightweight direction measurements. The stability of the proposed formation control algorithms is proved and validated through various physical application experiments. IEEE

Fault detection(FD) for traction systems is one of the active topics in the railway and academia because it is the initial step for the running reliability and safety of high-speed trains. Heterogeneity of data and complexity of systems have brought new challenges to the traditional FD methods. For addressing these challenges, this paper designs an FD algorithm based on the improved unscented Kalman filter(UKF) with consideration of performance degradation. It is derived by incorporating a degradation process into the state-space *** network topology of traction systems is taken into consideration for improving the performance of state estimation. We first obtain the mixture distribution by the mixture of sigma points in UKF. Then, the Lévy process with jump points is introduced to construct the degradation model. Finally, the moving average interstate standard deviation(MAISD) is designed for detecting *** the proposed methods via a traction systems in a certain type of trains obtains satisfactory results.
