Visible to the public Boolean Microgrid

Submitted by mazumder on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 3:20pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Advances in power semiconductor devices have rapidly paved the way for high-frequency power electronics to the point that high-frequency distributed power systems (HFDPSs) - such as Boolean Microgrid - are increasingly becoming a practical reality, provided the effects of transmission-line length can be mitigated. However, the usage of HFDPSs has been primarily limited to the printed-circuit-board (PCB) level applications because of the transmission-line effect that a power signal encounters as it propagates through the transmission line .

Submitted by Kishore.Ramachandran on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 3:07pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The ubiquitous deployment of mobile and sensor devices is creating a new environment, namely, the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling a wide range of future Situation Awareness applications. Situation awareness is both a property and an application class of cyber-physical systems, which deals with recognizing when sensed data could lead to actionable knowledge. There are still many missing components that are required to have a rich and fully functional deployment of sensors with a continuous stream of actionable data.

Visible to the public Smart Power Systems of the Future: Foundations for Understanding Volatility and Improving Operational Reliability

Submitted by Sean Meyn on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 1:03pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

GRID 2020: The power grid in the U.S. and many regions of the world is undergoing changes because of new technologies and government mandates. It is believed that smart meters and a smarter grid will lead to more efficient use of our infrastructure. In addition, increased renewable energy integration will provide power at low cost.

Visible to the public Detecting and Recovering from Faults in Programmed Molecular Systems

Submitted by Robyn.Lutz on Wed, 12/23/2015 - 4:12pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

For reliable operation of programmed molecular systems, the capability to detect faults when they occur and to initiate recovery is essential. Since a faulty system cannot be depended upon to report its own failure, a monitoring device is needed. The work presented here describes the design of one such fault protection device, called a molecular watchdog timer.

Visible to the public Source Localization by a Network of Imperfect Binary Sensors

Submitted by Er-Wei Bai on Wed, 12/23/2015 - 3:04pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

In this work, target or source localization and tracking by a network of primitive binary sensors under various imperfections are studied. Detailed analysis and mathematical modeling of imperfect binary sensors are presented. Imperfections include sensor failures of two types, uncertainty and heterogeneity in binary sensor trigger thresholds, presence of noise and non-radial symmetry of sensing ranges. Numerical algorithms for source localization and tracking are proposed along with convergence and asymptotic normality results.
