Further results on local stability of REM algorithm with time-varying delays

This letter presents some further results on the local stability in equilibrium for Internet congestion control algorithm proposed by Low et al., (IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 1999). The propagation delay d(t) is assumed to be time-varying and have maximum and minimum delay bounds (i.e., d/sub m//spl les/d(t)/spl les/d/sub M/), which is more general than the assumption (0相似文献

高温型Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷的研制

将Mo与Al2O3粉体按摩尔比为0．3、0．4、0．5配料，混合均匀后通过粉末冶金法制成3种Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷试样。在1800℃，2h氢气气氛中烧结后，试样的气孔率随Mo含量的增加呈降低趋势，而强度呈增加趋势。同时，随Mo含量增加，金属陶瓷中Al2O3的晶粒尺寸减小，Mo的形态从以弥散状为主转变为以连续状为主。研制的高温型Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷测温套管（金属与陶瓷摩尔比为0．4）在真空或N2保护条件下测量高温合金熔液温度时，平均使用寿命达到100次。

Bioprocess applications of model-based estimation techniques

The last decade has seen the development of a number of approaches for estimating those variables which are difficult to measure on-line in industrial process situations. Whilst a range of techniques is available, a common element is the use of process knowledge in the form of a system model. In the case of bioprocess systems, although a large range of models has been presented in the literature, their use in estimation schemes on an industrial scale has been limited. A number of reasons can be identified for their low level of utilisation. Of particular significance is the uncertainty which exists in quantifying system performance and the process-model mismatch which inevitably results. The level of ‘pre-defined model’ uncertainty, together with the knowledge gained during the course of the fermentation, serves to dictate estimator structure. The paper considers a range of estimation strategies and contrasts, through industrial applications, their performance characteristics and utility.     

A globally convergent algorithm for transportation continuous network design problem

The continuous network design problem (CNDP) is characterized by a bilevel programming model, in which the upper level problem is generally to minimize the total system cost under limited expenditure, while at the lower level the network users make choices with regard to route conditions following the user equilibrium principle. In this paper, the bilevel programming model for CNDP is transformed into a single level convex programming problem by virtue of an optimal-value function tool and the relationship between System Optimum (SO) and User Equilibrium (UE). By exploring the inherent nature of the CNDP, the optimal-value function for the lower level user equilibrium problem is proved to be continuously differentiable and its derivative in link capacity enhancement can be obtained efficiently by implementing user equilibrium assignment subroutine. However, the reaction (or response) function between the upper and lower level problem is implicit and its gradient is difficult to obtain. Although, here we approximately express the gradient with the difference concept at each iteration, based on the method of successive averages (MSA), we propose a globally convergent algorithm to solve the single level convex programming problem. Comparing with widely used heuristic algorithms, such as sensitivity analysis based (SAB) method, the proposed algorithm needs not strong hypothesis conditions and complex computation for the inverse matrix. Finally, a numerical example is presented to compare the proposed method with some existing algorithms.

考虑蓄电池储能的配电网动态网络重构

随着分布式能源渗透率逐渐增高,用户侧负荷波动变大,电网很难一直保持其原有的较佳运行方式;而蓄电池储能技术的日渐成熟使其应用越来越广泛,削峰填谷的效益也被认可.考虑到蓄电池储能在配电网中的应用,会对未来配电网络进行动态重构.具体以网络损耗最小为目标函数,考虑网络拓扑约束、节点电压约束、支路电流约束和潮流平衡约束等,建立上层优化模型进行网络重构;以收益最大为目标函数,考虑储能充放电功率约束等,建立下层优化模型制定充放电策略;通过嵌入fmincon函数的遗传算法对双层优化模型进行求解;最后以修改的IEEE33节点系统作为算例,验证了所提方法的有效性.
