Tapia, Estefania Alexandra (author), Colomé, Delia Graciela (author), Rueda, José L. (author)Transient stability (TS) and short-term voltage stability (STVS) assessment are of fundamental importance for the operation security of power systems. Both phenomena can be mutually influenced in weak power systems due to the proliferation of power electronic interface devices and the phase-out of conventional heavy machines (e.g., thermal power...journal article 2022

Van der Ploeg, Chris (author), Alirezaei, Mohsen (author), Van De Wouw, Nathan (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In this article, we propose a tractable nonlinear fault estimation filter along with explicit performance bounds for a class of linear dynamical systems in the presence of both additive and nonlinear multiplicative faults. We consider the case, where both faults may occur simultaneously and through an identical dynamical relationship, a...journal article 2022

Bugaje, A.-.A.B. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Strbac, Goran (author)The classical formulation of the transmission switching problem as a mixed-integer problem is intractable for large systems in real-time control settings. Several heuristics have been proposed in the past to speed up the computation time, which only limits the number of switchable lines. In this paper, a real-time switching heuristic based on...journal article 2022

de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Veerakumar, Nidarshan (author), Popov, M. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Azizi, Sadegh (author), Melgoza, Enrique (author), Terzija, Vladimir (author)Fault currents may result in cascading failures and even system collapse if not detected and cleared on time. To account for the possibility of failure of primary protection under stressed system conditions, an extra layer of protection is commonly employed, referred to as backup protection. This paper introduces an effective formulation for...conference paper 2022

(author), Michels, Dominik L. (author)We introduce Dynamic Constrained Grid (DCGrid), a hierarchical and adaptive grid structure for fluid simulation combined with a scheme for effectively managing the grid adaptations. DCGrid is designed to be implemented on the GPU and used in high-performance simulations. Specifically, it allows us to efficiently vary and adjust the grid...journal article 2022

Nikoloudi, Eirini (author), Romano, Michele (author), Memon, Fayyaz Ali (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)This paper proposes a new method to identify the near-optimal response to failures in water distribution networks in near real time. The response method is formulated as a two-objective optimization problem with objectives being the minimization of failure impacts and related operational costs. The new heuristics-based method is developed and...journal article 2022

van den Berg, M.A. (author), Owen, C.C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)This study analyses the results from basin tests with a vertically sided cylindrical pile loaded by ice failing in crushing. Tests were performed with a ‘rigid’ structure and with structural models representing a series of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators covering a wide range of mass, frequency, and damping values. The structural...journal article 2022

Martinez Garcia, M. (author), Sattar, M.A. (author), Atmani, Hanane (author), Legendre, Dominique (author), Babout, Laurent (author), Schleicher, Eckhard (author), Hampel, Uwe (author), Portela, L. (author)The performance of multiphase flow processes is often determined by the distribution of phases inside the equipment. However, controllers in the field are typically implemented based on flow variables, which are simpler to measure, but indirectly connected to performance (e.g., pressure). Tomography has been used in the study of the...journal article 2022

Mirmohammadian, Farinaz (author), Asgari, Jamal (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author)Until now, RTK (real-time kinematic) and NRTK (Network-based RTK) have been the most popular cm-level accurate positioning approaches based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in real-time. The tropospheric delay is a major source of RTK errors, especially for medium and long baselines. This source of error is difficult to...journal article 2022

Stobbe, P.J. (author), Keijzer, T. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author)Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) has made it possible to perform addition and multiplication operations on encrypted data. Using FHE in control thus has the advantage that control effort for a plant can be calculated remotely without ever decrypting the exchanged information. FHE in its current form is however not practically applicable for...conference paper 2022
