  Distributed Online Optimal Energy Management for Smart Grids

  Traditionally, economic dispatch and demand response (DR) are considered separately, or implemented sequentially, which may degrade the energy efficiency of the power grids. One important goal of optimal energy management (OEM) is to maximize the social welfare through the coordination of the suppliers' generations and customers' demands. Thus, it is desirable to consider the interactive operation of economic dispatch and DR, and solve them in an integrated way.

  Research on real-time simulation of ekman flow in deep ocean based on vortex

  Virtual simulation technology has become one of the core technologies in deep ocean research and exploration. In order to guarantee the reliability of underwater operating simulation, it is of vital importance to consider the physical influence on machinery equipments from complex ocean currents. In this paper, a dynamics computational model of Ekman flow with physical characteristics of the ocean operation area is designed to support real-time ocean simulation.

  Search and Rescue Rotary-Wing UAV and Its Application to the Lushan Ms 7.0 Earthquake

  Rapid search and rescue responses after earthquakes or in postseismic evaluation tend to be extremely difficult. To solve this problem, we summarized the requirements of search and rescue rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (SR-RUAV) systems according to related works, manual earthquake search and rescue, and our knowledge to guide our research works.

  Thermal efficiency modelling of the cement clinker manufacturing process

  The cement clinker manufacturing process is a complex process which involves energy conversion and consumption. The objective of this study is to establish the thermal efficiency analytic model of this process. Energy flow models of the whole process and its three process units of raw material preheating & decomposition, clinker calcination, clinker cooling are established in this paper.

  SEMG based movement quantitative estimation of joins using SVM method with gravitational search algorithm

  Recently the surface electromyogram signal (sEMG) based motion estimation developed rapidly, which focus on intention recognition but the other information of motion is not concerned. This paper proposed a sEMG based quantitative analysis method to estimate movement of human joints, which was used to control the upper limb rehabilitation robot system by participant's own arm.

  Video-based crowd counting with information entropy

  As a key indicator of safety, the number of persons in pubic venues is quite important. However, most algorithms require a burdensome training, which is far away from practical application. In this work, we introduce a counting approach with information entropy (IE).

  An improved image dehazing and enhancing method using dark channel prior

  In fog and haze weather conditions, the outdoor visibility is greatly reduced by the atmospheric scattering. Images taken in this weather suffer from serious degradation. Image dehazing based on the dark channel prior(DCP) is considered to be an elegant solution due to its advantages of simple implementation and excellent performance of dehazing.
