Demand side response (DSR) provides a flexible approach to managing constrained power network assets. This is valuable if future asset utilization is uncertain. However there may be uncertainty over the process of procurement of DSR from customers. In this context we combine probabilistic modelling, simulation and optimization to identify economically optimal procurement policies from heterogeneous customers local to the asset, under chance constraints on the adequacy of the procured DSR. Mathematically this gives rise to a search over permutations, and we provide an illustrative example implementation and case study. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Energy management: flexibility, risk and optimization’.

In functional electrical stimulation, selective stimulation of axons is desirable to activate a specific target, in particular muscular function. This implies to simulate a fascicule without activating neighboring ones i.e. to be spatially selective. Spatial selectivity is achieved by the use of multicontact cuff electrodes over which the stimulation current is distributed. Because of the large number of parameters involved, numerical simulations provide a way to find and optimize electrode configuration. The present work offers a computation effective scheme and associated tool chain capable of simulating electrode-nerve interface and find the best spread of current to achieve spatial selectivity.

This paper presents a modified power supply system based on the current alternating current (AC)-fed railways with neutral zones that can further improve the eco-friendliness and smart level of railways. The modified system complements the existing infrastructure with additional energy-storage-based smart electrical infrastructure. This infrastructure comprises power electronic devices with energy storage system connected in parallel to both sides of each neutral zone in the traction substations, power electronic devices connected in parallel to both sides of each neutral zone in section posts, and an energy management system. The description and functions of such a modified system are outlined in this paper. The system allows for the centralized- and distributed-control of different functions via an energy management system. In addition, a control algorithm is proposed, based on the modified system for regenerative braking energy utilization. This would ensure that all the regenerative braking energy in the whole railway electrical system is used more efficiently. Finally, a modified power supply system with eight power supply sections is considered to be a case study; furthermore, the advantages of the proposed system and the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm are verified.
