Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

Xiao, J. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Communication-based distributed secondary control is deemed necessary to restore the state of islanding AC microgrids to set points. As its limited global information, the microgrids become vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which by falsifying the communicating singles, like the angular frequency, can disturb the power dispatch in the microgrids...journal article 2024

Wei, Zeyong (author), Chen, Honghua (author), Nan, L. (author), Wang, Jun (author), Qin, Jing (author), Wei, Mingqiang (author)Current point cloud denoising (PCD) models optimize single networks, trying to make their parameters adaptive to each point in a large pool of point clouds. Such a denoising network paradigm neglects that different points are often corrupted by different levels of noise and they may convey different geometric structures. Thus, the intricacy of...journal article 2024

Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Reinforcement of the legacy grid infrastructure will be very costly and thereby unrealistic. Consequently, weak grid connection of electric vehicle (EV) chargers will sooner or later be the case. It may however bring instability issues since the EV chargers that can work well in strong grid conditions usually do not fit the weak grid...conference paper 2023
