We propose a state smoothing algorithm for hybrid systems based on Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE) by exploiting the equivalence between hybrid systems modeled in the Mixed Logic Dynamical form and piecewise affine systems. We provide sufficient conditions ...
In this paper the short term scheduling optimization of a combined cycle power plant is accomplished by exploiting hybrid systems, i.e. systems evolving according to continuous dynamics, discrete dynamics, and logic rules. Discrete features of a power plan ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To further complicate m ...
In this article we review several successful extensions to the standard Hidden-Markov-Model/Artificial Neural Network (HMM/ANN) hybrid, which have recently made important contributions to the field of noise robust automatic speech recognition. The first ex ...
The suprathermal electron cyclotron radiation is used to investigate fundamental phenomena governing electron tail formation during lower hybrid current drive (LHCD). To this end, an approximate analytical solution of the 2-D time-dependent Fokker-Planck e ...
In this paper a new localization approach combining the metric and topological paradigm is presented. The main idea is to connect local metric maps by means of a global topological map. This allows a compact environment model which does not require global ...
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on In(x)Gal(1-x)N (x = 0.15-0.2)/GaN multiple-quantum wells ( MQWs) have been grown on sapphire substrates. Their wavelength emission can be tuned from blue to orange by increasing the QW thickness. This opens the way for ...
The ECW system on Tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) allows the study of a wide range of poloidal and toroidal launch angles. Both electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) experiments have been performed to demonstra ...
Recent operation of JET with centrally strongly reversed magnetic shear, produced with the help of lower hybrid current drive, has extended the domain in which internal transport barriers (ITBs) can be formed in JET. Performance is frequently limited by ma ...
This report presents the field tests synthesis of a small Hybrid Solar Power Plant integrating three technologies : hermetic volumetric scroll expander - generators working with two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) a cogeneration group composed by a ...
