Spatial Model of Optimization Applied in the Distributed Generation Photovoltaic to Adjust Voltage Levels

The main objective of this work is to develop a methodology for analyzing the quality of the voltage level in the distribution power grid to identify and reduce the violations of voltage limits through the proposition of optimal points for the allocation of photovoltaic distributed generation. The methodology uses the geographic location of the power grid and its consumers to perform the grouping and classification in spatial grids of 100×100 m using the average annual consumption profile. The generated profiles, including the grid information, are sent to the photovoltaic distributed generation allocation algorithm, which, using an optimization process, identifies the geographic location, the required installed capacity, and the minimum number of photovoltaic generation units that must be inserted to minimize the violations of voltage limits, respecting the necessary restrictions. The entire proposal is applied in a real feeder with thousands of bars, whose model is validated with measurements carried out in the field. Different violations of voltage limits scenarios are used to validate the methodology, obtaining grids with better voltage quality after the optimized allocation of photovoltaic distributed generation. The proposal presents itself as a new tool in the work of adapting the voltage of the distribution power grid using photovoltaic distributed generation.

Weapon-Target Assignment Problem Using Modified Water Wave Optimization Algorithm

The weapon-target assignment (WTA) is a classic problem. The WTA mathematical model is that warship formations are reasonably equipped with weapons resources for each weapon system to attack the air threaten targets. The purpose of targets optimization is to maximize combat effectiveness, that is to say, the mathematical expectation is maximum. We adopt the greedy strategy and improved propagation operation is to strengthen the water wave optimization (WWO) search performance. This article elaborates a modified water wave optimization (MWWO) to solve the WTA problem, which can detect optimized allocation decision matrix and search for the maximum mathematical expectation. Based on parameter optimization, the overall performance of the MWWO is more stable, the search speed is accelerated and the accuracy is improved. The experiment results indicate that the MWWO are verified and avoids local optimum, and can be more convenient for solving the WTA and obtain better performance.

Analysis and Application of Verifiable Computation Techniques in Blockchain Systems for the Energy Sector

The energy system is becoming increasingly decentralized. This development requires integrating and coordinating a rising number of actors and small units in a complex system. Blockchain could provide a base infrastructure for new tools and platforms that address these tasks in various aspects—ranging from dispatch optimization or dynamic load adaption to (local) market mechanisms. Many of these applications are currently in development and subject to research projects. In decentralized energy markets especially, the optimized allocation of energy products demands complex computation. Combining these with distributed ledger technologies leads to bottlenecks and challenges regarding privacy requirements and performance due to limited storage and computational resources. Verifiable computation techniques promise a solution to these issues. This paper presents an overview of verifiable computation technologies, including trusted oracles, zkSNARKs, and multi-party computation. We further analyze their application in blockchain environments with a focus on energy-related applications. Applied to a distinct optimization problem of renewable energy certificates, we have evaluated these solution approaches and finally demonstrate an implementation of a Simplex-Optimization using zkSNARKs as a case study. We conclude with an assessment of the applicability of the described verifiable computation techniques and address limitations for large-scale deployment, followed by an outlook on current development trends.

Reducing exposure to COVID-19 by improving access to fever clinics: an empirical research of the Shenzhen area of China

Background The current 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is hitting citizen’s life and health like never before, with its significant loss to human life and a huge economic toll. In this case, the fever clinics (FCs) were still preserved as one of the most effective control measures in China, but this work is based on experience and lacks scientific and effective guidance. Here, we use travel time to link facilities and populations at risk of COVID-19 and identify the dynamic allocation of patients’ medical needs, and then propose the optimized allocation scheme of FCs. Methods We selected Shenzhen, China, to collect geospatial resources of epidemic communities (ECs) and FCs to determine the ECs’ cumulative opportunities of visiting FCs, as well as evaluate the rationality of medical resources in current ECs. Also, we use the Location Set Covering Problem (LSCP) model to optimize the allocation of FCs and evaluate efficiency. Results Firstly, we divide the current ECs into 3 groups based on travel time and cumulative opportunities of visiting FCs within 30 min: Low-need communities (22.06%), medium-need communities (59.8%), and high-need communities (18.14%) with 0,1–2 and no less than 3 opportunities of visiting FCs. Besides, our work proposes two allocation schemes of fever clinics through the LSCP model. Among which, selecting secondary and above hospitals as an alternative in Scheme 1, will increase the coverage rate of hospitals in medium-need and high-need communities from 59.8% to 80.88%. In Scheme 2, selecting primary and above hospitals as an alternative will increase the coverage rate of hospitals in medium-need and high-need communities to 85.29%, with the average travel time reducing from 22.42 min to 17.94 min. Conclusions The optimized allocation scheme can achieve two objectives: a. equal access to medical services for different types of communities has improved while reducing the overutilization of high-quality medical resources. b. the travel time for medical treatment in the community has reduced, thus improving medical accessibility. On this basis, during the early screening in prevention and control of the outbreak, the specific suggestions for implementation in developing and less developed countries are made.

Optimized Allocation of Resources for Intelligent Construction of Training Venues for Track and Field Teams

Because of the problems of low allocation efficiency and accuracy in the traditional resource allocation model for the intelligent construction of track and field team training venues, this paper proposes a new intelligent construction resource allocation model for track and field team training venues. A distributed data collection method is adopted to select the index data for the intelligent construction of the track and field team training venues to optimize the allocation of resources and the mined resource allocation index through extracting the optimized index characteristics. The goal of the optimization problem is transformed into a single-objective solving problem. The suggested approach is based on the two-level programming concept. The simulation experimental results show higher efficiency and better allocation effect of the proposed scheme compared to other state-of-the-art approaches. Our evaluation and observations suggest that the accuracy of the intelligent construction of track and field team training venues is between 90% and 99% which is higher than two other benchmarked models. Furthermore, the proposed model can quickly reach to an optimal decision.

Developing a Hybrid Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Allocation of Renewable DGs in Distribution Network

Distributed generation (DG) is becoming a prominent key spot for research in recent years because it can be utilized in emergency/reserve plans for power systems and power quality improvement issues, besides its drastic impact on the environment as a greenhouse gas (GHG) reducer. For maximizing the benefits from such technology, it is crucial to identify the best size and location for DG that achieves the required goal of installing it. This paper presents an investigation of the optimized allocation of DG in different modes using a proposed hybrid technique, the tunicate swarm algorithm/sine-cosine algorithm (TSA/SCA). This investigation is performed on an IEEE-69 Radial Distribution System (RDS), where the impact of such allocation on the system is evaluated by NEPLAN software.
