A smart electric grid incorporating local generation and storage is an area of active research in the industrial automation community. Very little attention has been given to similar possibilities in hot water grids that are used extensively for district heating in several countries, especially in Central and Northern Europe. In this paper, possibilities for heat trade in such a grid are investigated...
While there is intense global research activity addressing problems underpinning the re-engineering of the electrical power grid, thermal energy grids are likely to play an increasing role in energy systems. This paper describes an on-going effort in hybrid modeling and co-simulation of the physical and control domains of district heating networks. The focus is on modeling each domain using semantics...
Most methodologies for the design and analysis of mechatronic systems target a single product. From a business perspective, successful product development requires shortening development times, reducing engineering costs and offering a greater variety of product options for customers. In software engineering, the software product line (SPL) technology has been developed to meet these conflicting goals,...
Electric grid automation is designed so that any single component failure can be isolated, and that supply can be quickly restored to the remainder of the network. However, environmental hazards such as flooding may cause the failure of several components in the grid, resulting in an unforeseen loss of power. Automation may be helpful in limiting the consequences of environmental hazards, but no methods...
Unmanned autonomous systems offer safety benefits for potentially hazardous environments. The evaluation of the performance of such systems is challenging because hazardous environments, i.e. due to flood or fire, are constantly changing. In this paper we introduce a system for simulation-based risk assessment of a fleet of autonomous machines performing a rescue mission. The simulation is based on...
