Since renewable energies have been and will be massively integrated, electrical power grids require more refined generation dispatch modes and smarter communication methods. In this paper, the real-time generation dispatch and communication architecture of smart grid with renewable energy are studied. Firstly, the technical characteristics and application background of smart grid communication ...

Simulating wildfire spread and containment remains a challenging problem due to the complexity of fire behavior. In this paper, the authors present an integrated simulation environment for surface wildfire spread and containment called DEVS-FIRE. DEVS-FIRE is based on the discrete event system specification (DEVS) and uses a cellular space model for simulating wildfire spread and agent models f...

The nodes awareness information efficiently distributed is one of the core features for wireless sensor networks. This paper systematically researched some key problems about the reliable data transmission, which is closely related with each other and may directly affect the transmission effectiveness and energy consumption. The main research of this paper is as follows: Mobile Agent (MA) is su...

This paper introduced the application of game theory in electricity power market. Moreover, the electricity pool model and the merit order dispatch method was introduced. In pool mode, participants are trying to maximize their benefit via competition with each other. Hence the market can be regarded as a non-cooperative game, especially, the electrical supply competition. Players (generators) c...

Results Of the 561 jobs HEMS was deployed on in this time period, 226 (38%) were stand downs. All mechanisms of injury has a >25% stand down rate with assault jobs having the most (57%). 34% of stand downs were due to major injuries turning out to be minor although 20% of jobs did not have documented reasons. Interestingly, only 10% of stand downs were due to technical issues such as weather, r...

In this paper, critical realism and activity theory are compared within the context of theorizing technology-mediated organizational change. An activity theoretic analysis of the implementation of large-scale disruptive information systems in a public sector setting (in particular concerning paramedic treatment of heart attack patients and ambulance dispatch work activity) is used to illustrate...

Concrete type-inference for statically typed object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Java, C ++) determines at each program point, those objects to which a reference may refer or a pointer may point during execution. A precise compile-time solution for this problem requires a ow-sensitive analysis. Our new complexity results for concrete type-inference distinguish the diiculty of the intra...

At each program point, points-to analysis for statically typed object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Java, C) determines those objects to which a reference may refer (or a pointer may point) during execution. Points-to analysis is necessary for any semantics-based software tools for object-oriented systems. Our new complexity results for points-to analysis distinguish the difficulty of i...

This paper considers an electricity spot market consisting of a network, a set of producers located in nodes of the network, and a central agent. Production is organized by means of an auction. Once firms simultaneously bid cost functions, the central agent decides the quantity each firm produces and the flows through the network lines. The purpose of the central agent is to minimize the overal...

As large-scale wind power has been and will be integrated into power grid, traditional Active Power Dispatch and Control (APDC) system has encountered new challenges. In this paper, the active power dispatch mode of interconnected power grids which is suitable for the large-scale integration of wind power is analyzed firstly. Secondly, it is pointed out that traditional decentralized balance co...
