The fast development of renewable energy has resulted in great Icing Combs challenges to the power system, which urgently needs more flexible resources to maintain a system supply/demand balance.This paper established a multi-stage electricity market framework in the presence of a load aggregator (LA) including a day-ahead energy/reserve market and
Environmental awareness and the need for sustainable construction inspired researchers and practitioners to explore innovative alternatives that might reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use related to excessive structural work.One such alternative is the utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a reinforcement in reinforced con
Low cost imaging and positioning sensors are opening new frontiers for applications in near real-time Photogrammetry.Omnidirectional cameras acquiring images with 360° coverage, when combined with information coming from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), can efficiently estimate orientation and obje
Nowadays, Reinforcement Learning (RL) is applied to various real-world tasks and attracts much attention in the fields of games, robotics, and autonomous driving.It is very challenging and devices overwhelming to directly apply RL to real-world environments.Due to the reality gap simulated environment does not match perfectly to the real-world scen
A multi-hop free space optical link based on all-optical relays is presented.All-optical relays are either composed of simple optical amplifiers or optical regenerators.It has been shown that after a certain number of hops, the amplifier based relay cannot extend the range of the free space CARDIGANS optical link.Therefore, we have investigated the
