Measurement of concrete internal strain using a three-dimensional transducer system

A new three-dimensional transducer system is introduced in this paper, which enables the measurement of six internal components of strain tensor in concrete members. Laboratory tests and strain analyses were carried out to evaluate this tranducer system. The results show that the system is effective in measuring internal strains of concrete members. It was then embedded in a reinforced concrete bridge deck in Macomb County, Michigan. Field tests were conducted to measure the strains in the deck under truck wheel load. The results were used to understand the deck's strain and stress behavior under truck wheel load.

安全约束条件下的经济调度优化模型研究

发电侧放开竞争的电力系统需要更加有效、准确的决策工具对有限的资源进行调度规划。短期经济调度优化问题是一个混合整数非线性规划问题,很难得到有效最优解,尤其是对于大规模电力系统。为了提高求解效率,本文提出了一个考虑安全约束的经济调度优化模型(Security-Constrained Economics Dispatch,SCED),主要采用线性化思想处理经济调度优化问题的模型以及各种约束,采用基于校正的交替求解方法,使得调度优化结果在运行成本最小化的前提下满足系统的安全稳定约束。同时,将本文方法运用到IEEE 30节点系统进行测试,从而验证本文方法有效性。     

A discrete model for optimal operation of fossil-fuel generators of electricity

This paper presents a new discrete approach to the price-based dynamic economic dispatch (PBDED) problem of fossil-fuel generators of electricity. The objective is to find a sequence of generator temperatures that maximizes profit over a fixed-length time horizon. The generic optimization model presented in this paper can be applied to automatic operation of fossil-fuel generators or to prepare market bids, and it works with various price forecasts. The model’s practical applications are demonstrated by the results of simulation experiments involving 2009 NYISO electricity market data, branch-and-bound, and tabu-search optimization techniques.     

Haul road defect identification using measured truck response

Current management techniques for the maintenance of mine haul roads, such as ad hoc blading, scheduled blading and even maintenance management systems, have shortcomings in complex mining environments. This paper investigates the possibility of using the response of haul trucks to aid the management of haul road maintenance. The question arises as to whether truck response data can be used to recognize road defects at specific locations, in terms of type and size. This is important since different defect types require different road maintenance strategies. A modeling methodology based on dynamic equilibrium of the unsprung mass of a haul truck is proposed and investigated.

Bundle Relaxation and Primal Recovery in Unit Commitment Problems. The Brazilian Case

We consider the inclusion of commitment of thermal generation units in the optimal management of the Brazilian power system. By means of Lagrangian relaxation we decompose the problem and obtain a nondifferentiable dual function that is separable. We solve the dual problem with a bundle method. Our purpose is twofold: first, bundle methods are the methods of choice in nonsmooth optimization when it comes to solve large-scale problems with high precision. Second, they give good starting points for recovering primal solutions. We use an inexact augmented Lagrangian technique to find a near-optimal primal feasible solution. We assess our approach with numerical results.
