This paper proposes a novel interaction model for human-robot cooperative task. The point of the interaction model is an introduction of CEA (Commands Embedded in Actions) by which a human work-load is reduced because it need less inputs and outputs of a user of a robot than that of using direct commanding methods in a conventional interaction model. We build a procedure of the design for the p...

In today’s rapidly changing energy markets, the role of direct load control programs are increasingly recognized as an underutilized resource 1 capable of providing numerous benefits to our electricity grid and to our society as a whole. Although different names are used to describe these programs, we use the term Demand Response (DR) to include the overarching segment of load participation res...

A real-time two-way direct load control (TWDLC) of central air-conditioning chillers in 10 wide area is proposed to provide demand response. The proposed TWDLC scheme is designed to 11 optimize the load shedding ratio of every customer under control to ensure the target load to be 12 shed is met at every scheduling period. In order to overcome the load reduction uncertainties of 13 TWDLC, an in...

In this paper two types of current control techniques, namely, direct and indirect current control techniques are employed to a three phase shunt active power filter for the compensation of the harmonics in the current caused by the non-linear loads. The difference between these two types of current control technique is in the number of current sensors used. In direct current control technique ...
