The problem of intermittent generation peaking is highly concerned by the grid operator. To build control model for solving unbalance of peaking is great necessary. In this paper, we propose reserve classification control model which contain constant reserve control model with real-time reserve control model to guide the peaking balance of the grid with intermittent generation. The proposed model associate time-period constant reserve control model with real-time reserve control model to calculate, and use the peaking margin as intermediate variable. Therefore, the model solutions which are the capacity of reserve classification are obtained. The grid operators use the solution to achieve the peaking balance control. The proposed model was examined by real grid operation case, and the results of the case demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.

This paper is concerned with the effect of real-time maximum deceleration in car-following. The real-time maximum acceleration is estimated with vehicle dynamics. It is known that an intelligent driver model (IDM) can control adaptive cruise control (ACC) well. The disadvantages of IDM at high and constant speed are analyzed. A new car-following model which is applied to ACC is established accordingly to modify the desired minimum gap and structure of the IDM. We simulated the new car-following model and IDM under two different kinds of road conditions. In the first, the vehicles drive on a single road, taking dry asphalt road as the example in this paper. In the second, vehicles drive onto a different road, and this paper analyzed the situation in which vehicles drive from a dry asphalt road onto an icy road. From the simulation, we found that the new car-following model can not only ensure driving security and comfort but also control the steady driving of the vehicle with a smaller time headway than IDM.

A cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) system targeted to obtain a high level of user acceptance must replicate the driving experience in each CACC vehicle without compromising the occupant’s comfort. “User acceptance” can be defined as the safety and comfort of the occupant in the CACC vehicle in terms of acceptable vehicle dynamics (i.e., the maximum acceleration or deceleration) and string stability (i.e., the fluctuations in the vehicle’s position, speed, and acceleration). The primary objective of this study was to develop an evaluation framework for the application of a driver car-following behavior model in CACC system design to ensure user acceptance in terms of vehicle dynamics and string stability. The authors adopted two widely used driver car-following behavior models, ( a) the optimum velocity model (OVM) and ( b) the intelligent driver model (IDM), to prove the efficacy of the evaluation framework developed in this research for CACC system design. A platoon of six vehicles was simulated for three traffic flow states (uniform speed, speed with constant acceleration, and speed with constant deceleration) with different acceleration and deceleration rates. The maximum acceleration or deceleration and the sum of the squares of the errors of the follower vehicle speed were measured to evaluate user acceptance in terms of vehicle dynamics and string stability. Analysis of the simulation results revealed that the OVM performed better at modeling a CACC system than did the IDM in terms of acceptable vehicle dynamics and string stability.

Abstract This paper presents the design and development of a Multi-module Deployable Manipulator System (MDMS) as well as a dynamical formulation for it. The system is designed for experimental investigations aimed at dynamics and control of this variable geometry manipulator by implementing different control algorithms to regulate its performance. The manipulator operates in a horizontal plane and is unique in that it comprises of four modules, each of which has one revolute joint and one prismatic joint, connected in a chain topology. Each module has a slewing link of approximately 20cm length and is capable of extending by 15cm. The manipulator design involves the selection and sizing of actuators, the design of mounting and connecting components, and the selection of hardware as well as software for real-time control. The dynamical model is formulated using an O(N) algorithm, based on the Lagrangian approach and velocity transformations. The O(N) character is computationally efficient permitting real-time control of the system.
