Traditional generation and transmission expansion planning has served electric utilities well for several decades to procure the least costing set of assets to meet forecasted demand.Unfortunately, it does not consider a demand curve, in which case it procures generation and transmission assets that do not ensure maximum societal value.An Increment
Patio plays an important role in climate adaptation and microclimate adjustment of buildings.This study aims to explore enclosed patio design guidelines, which are essential for both architectural design methodology and practical projects for providing better thermally comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces.A combined qualitative and quantitative me
We consider the problem of joint estimation of states and some constant parameters for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems.This class contains systems that could be transformed into a quasi-LPV (linear parameter varying) polytopic model in the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) form.Such systems could have unmeasured premise variables, a case usually overl
The electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) is the key component of most electric aircraft, and research on its fault diagnosis technology is of great significance to improve the safety and reliability of aircraft flight.However, traditional fault diagnosis methods only focus on partial failures and cannot completely diagnose the whole EHA system.In thi
