Characteristic matching of stochastic scenarios and flexible resource capacity optimisation for isolated microgrids

Optimisation of capacity in various 802.11 gaming scenarios

Abstract: As IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs are widely deployed and the popularity of multiplayer real-time gaming continues to increase, games are increasingly played over 802.11 wireless networks. In this paper, we consider the issue of how games traffic is likely to interact with wireless networks and give a framework to study this kind of application. Using Quake 4 as an example, we produce a mu...

Emergency department resource optimisation for improved performance: a review

Emergency departments (EDs) have been becoming increasingly congested due to the combined impacts of growing demand, access block and increased clinical capability of the EDs. This congestion has known to have adverse impacts on the performance of the healthcare services. Attempts to overcome with this challenge have focussed largely on the demand management and the application of system wide p...

Optimal Resource Capacity Management for Stochastic Networks

We develop a general framework for determining the optimal resource capacity for each station comprising a stochastic network, motivated by applications arising in computer capacity planning and business process management. The problem is mathematically intractable in general and therefore one typically resorts to either overly simplistic analytical approximations or very time-consuming simulat...

Dynamic Optimisation for Power Dispatch in Microgrids

The increasing growth of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar and wind and the upcoming plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) makes the secure power dispatch a challenging optimisation. In this paper, a coordinated power dispatch strategy in microgrids with a battery management system is proposed. The power dispatch strategy dynamically fits the power production to the power...
