Commonly, a modelling and simulation approach is used for parameter optimization and system behavior analysis of assembly system components. However, such simulation approaches are often not well integrated or its analysis is still based on a specific physical domain. This paper proposes an integrated simulation approach that can be used for designing, analyzing and optimizing the entire physical domain as well as the control system of mechatronic components in an assembly system. The state-of-the-art, requirements, our concept and the limitations of an integrated simulation approach are explained in this paper. A case study of the development of conveyor systems using the multi-domain simulation tool OpenModelica is also presented. On-going research shows that the integrated approach offers various benefits such as reduced development time and minimized errors, as well as maintenance during the commissioning process.

Case Study Site

Currently, the sewer system, treatment plant and receiving water body are normally considered as separate units in water quality management. The study reported in this paper analyses the potential of integrated control of the urban wastewater system in its entirety. Assembly and implementation of an integrated simulation and optimisation tool, named SYNOPSIS, are presented. This software package allows water quantity and quality processes in the urban wastewater system to be simulated. Furthermore, optimisation modules included in this tool can be applied for off-line optimisation of control strategies. This procedure is exemplified for a semi-hypothetical case study site. Results obtained for this case study suggest that integrated control of the urban wastewater system can indeed lead to some improvement of its performance. This study demonstrates that a tool is now available for assessment of the potential of integrated control.

Defining the centrality of nodes and layers in multilayer networks is of fundamental importance for a variety of applications from sociology to biology and finance. This chapter presents the state-of-the-art centrality measures able to characterize the centrality of nodes, the influences of layers or the centrality of replica nodes in multilayer and multiplex networks. These centrality measures include modifications of the eigenvector centrality, Katz centrality, PageRank centrality and Communicability to the multilayer network scenario. The chapter provides a comprehensive description of the research of the field and discusses the main advantages and limitations of the different definitions, allowing the readers that wish to apply these techniques to choose the most suitable definition for his or her case study.

Energy Community

In this paper, we investigate the economic benefits of an energy community investing in small-scale photovoltaics (PVs) when local energy trading is operated amongst the community members. The motivation stems from the open research question on whether a community-operated local energy market can enhance the investment feasibility of behind-the-meter small-scale PVs installed by energy community members. Firstly, a review of the models, mechanisms and concepts required for framing the relevant concepts is conducted, while a clarification of nuances at important terms is attempted. Next, a tool for the investigation of the economic benefits of operating a local energy market in the context of an energy community is developed. We design the local energy market using state-of-the-art formulations, modified according to the requirements of the case study. The model is applied to an energy community that is currently under formation in a Greek municipality. From the various simulations that were conducted, a series of generalizable conclusions are extracted.

The City

Due to irregular and uncontrolled expansion of cities in developing countries, currently operational landfill sites cannot be used in the long-term, as people will be living in proximity to these sites and be exposed to unhygienic circumstances. Hence, this study aims at proposing an integrated approach for determining suitable locations for landfills while considering their physical expansion. The proposed approach utilizes the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) to weigh the sets of identified landfill location criteria. Furthermore, the weighted linear combination (WLC) approach was applied for the elicitation of the proper primary locations. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) and cellular automation-based Markov chain method were used to predict urban growth. To demonstrate the applicability of the developed approach, it was applied to a case study, namely the city of Mashhad in Iran, where suitable sites for landfills were identified considering the urban growth in different geographical directions for this city by 2048. The proposed approach could be of use for policymakers, urban planners, and other decision-makers to minimize uncertainty arising from long-term resource allocation.
