A parallel multi‐block alternating direction method of multipliers for tensor completion

open access: yesIET Image Processing, 2021
This paper proposes an algorithm for the tensor completion problem of estimating multi‐linear data under the limitation of observation rate. Many tensor completion methods are based on nuclear norm minimization, they may fail to achieve the global ...

Exploring multiple viewshed analysis using terrain features and optimisation techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The calculation of viewsheds is a routine operation in geographic information systems and is used in a wide range of applications. Many of these involve the siting of features, such as radio masts, which are part of a network and yet the selection of ...

The use of dynamic programming and golden section search for the optimal load‐shedding strategy of HEMS participating in demand response program

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2021
This paper presents the optimal load‐shedding strategy of home energy management systems (HEMSs). The HEMS uses the dynamic programming (DP) method to plan the day ahead, schedule, and connects to smart plugs to perform load‐shedding.

Smart Sampling for Lightweight Verification of Markov Decision Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Markov decision processes (MDP) are useful to model optimisation problems in concurrent systems. To verify MDPs with efficient Monte Carlo techniques requires that their nondeterminism be resolved by a scheduler.

Multi‐objective operation of distributed generations and thermal blocks in microgrids based on energy management system

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2021
The optimal multi‐objective operation of microgrids with distributed generations and thermal block based on the energy management system is presented. In the thermal block, the combined heat and power system and boiler and thermal storage system supply ...

Projections in minimax algebra [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
An axiomatic theory of linear operators can be constructed for abstract spaces defined over (R, ⊕, ⊗), that is over the (extended) real numbersR with the binary operationsx ⊕ y = max (x,y) andx ⊗ y = x + y.

Proactive repair crew deployment to improve transmission system resilience against hurricanes

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2021
Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, impose severe impacts on power systems. A rapid repair for power systems is desired after hurricanes pass to mitigate load‐shedding losses.

Simple, efficient and robust techniques for automatic multi-objective function parameterisation: Case studies of local and global optimisation using APSIM

open access: yesEnvironmental Modelling & Software, 2019
Several techniques for automatic parameterisation are explored using the software PEST. We parameterised the biophysical systems model APSIM with measurements from a maize cropping experiment with the objective of finding algorithms that resulted in the ...
