We consider the optimal scheduling of hydropower plants in a hydrothermal interconnected system. This problem, of outmost importance for large-scale power systems with a high proportion of hydraulic ...

Microplastics seem to be everywhere—in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. They have turned up in human organs, blood, testicles, placentas and even brains. While the full health ...

Low-code and modular programming environments are transforming PLC programming, with vendors providing pre-packaged libraries and objects that eliminate traditional IEC-61131-3 style coding, allowing ...

Abstract: Repetitive motion planning (RMP), obstacle avoidance (OA), and joint-limit avoidance (JLA) are essential for ensuring the positioning accuracy and safe operations of joint-constrained ...

Abstract: A swarm-exploring neurodynamic network (SENN) based on a two-timescale model is proposed in this study for solving nonconvex nonlinear programming problems. First, by using a ...
