Abstract In this paper, the first danger-evaluation method for use in various kinds of control strategies for human-care robots is proposed. In the case of a careless collision between a robot and a human, impact force and impact stress are chosen as evaluation values, and a danger index is defined to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of each safety strategy used for control. As in the previous paper on safety design, this proposed method allows us to assess the contribution of each safety control strategy to the overall safety performance of a human-care robot. In addition, a new type of robot simulation system for danger-evaluation is constructed on a workstation. The system simplifies the evaluation of danger in both the design and control of human-care robots to quantify the effectiveness of various safety strategies. Here we describe the results obtained, the successful optimization of a safety control strategy for human-care robots.

Nowadays, with the higher voice of ship energy saving and emission reduction, the research on energy efficiency management is particularly necessary. Energy efficiency management and control of ships is an effective way to improve the ship energy efficiency. In this paper, according to the new clean propulsion system configurations of 5000 tons of bulk carrier, the energy efficiency management control strategy of the clean propulsion system is designed based on the model of advanced brushless doubly-fed shaft generator, propulsion system using LNG/diesel dual fuel engine and energy consumption of the main engine for reducing energy consumption. The simulation model of the entire propulsion system and the designed control strategy were designed. The influence of the engine speed on the ship energy efficiency was analyzed, and the feasibility of the energy efficiency management control strategies was verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the designed strategies can ensure the power requirement of the whole ship under different conditions and improve the ship energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

This paper studies the operation of wind turbines in terms of three phases: start-up phase, power-generation phase, and shutdown phase. Relationships between the operational phase and control rules for the speed of rotation are derived for each of these phases. Taking into account the characteristics of the control strategies in the different operational phases, a global control strategy is designed to ensure the stable operation of the wind turbine in all phases. The results of simulations are presented that indicate that the proposed algorithm can control the individual phases when considered in isolation and also when they are considered in combination. Thus, a global control strategy for a wind turbine that is based on a single algorithm is presented which could have significant implications on the control and use of wind turbines.

Good Agreement

The cooperation mode between the engagement and disengagement clutches for vehicles equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is of vital importance to achieve a smooth gearshift, in particular for the downshift process as its unavoidable power interruption during the inertia phase. Hence, to elevate the performance of DCT downshifting process, an analytical model and experimental validation for the analysis, simulation and control strategy are presented. Optimized pressure profiles applied on two clutches are obtained based on the detailed analysis of downshifting process. Then, according to the analysis results, a novel control strategy that can achieve downshift task with only one clutch slippage is proposed. The system model is established on Matlab/Simulink platform and used to study the variation of output torque and speed in response to different charging pressure profiles and various external loads during downshifting process. Simulation results show that, compared with conventional control strategies, the proposed one can not only avoid the torque hole and power circulation, but shorten the shift time and reduce the friction work. Furthermore, to validate the effectiveness of the control strategy, the bench test equipped with DCT is conducted and the experiment results show a good agreement with the simulation results.

Solid-Oxide-Fuel-Cell (SOFC) stacks respond in seconds to changes in load while the balance of plant subsystem (BOPS) responds in times several orders of magnitude higher. This dichotomy diminishes the reliability and performance of SOFC electrodes with changes in load. In the same manner current and voltage ripples which result from particular power electronic subsystem (PES) topologies and operation produce a negative effect on the SOFC stack subsystem (SS) performance. The difference in transient response among the sub-systems must be approached in a way which makes operation of the entire system not only feasible but ensures that efficiency and power density, fuel utilization, fuel conversion, and system response are optimal at all load conditions. Thus, a need exists for the development of transient component- and system-level models of SOFC based auxiliary power units (APUs), i.e. coupled BOPS, SS, and PES, and the development of methodologies for optimizing subsystem responses and for investigating system-interaction issues. In fact the transient process occurring in a SOFC based APU should be systematically treated during the entire creative process of synthesis, design, and operational control, leading in its most general sense to a dynamic optimization problem. This entails finding an optimal system/component synthesis/design, taking into account on- and off-design operation, which in turn entails finding an optimal control strategy and control profile for each sub-system/component and control variable. Such an optimization minimizes an appropriate objective function while satisfying all system constraints. A preliminary set of chemical, thermal, electrochemical, electrical, and mechanical models based on first principles and validated with experimental data have been developed and implemented using a number of different platforms. These models have been integrated in order to be able to perform component, subsystem, and system analyses as well as develop optimal syntheses/designs and control strategies for transportation and stationary SOFC based APUs. Some pertinent results of these efforts are presented here.

This paper introduced the structure of Extended-Range Electric Vehicles as well as its characteristics. Principle researches have been offered on the parameters matching of the power-train and main components. Operating modes and control strategies were discussed, especially the two control strategies of charge sustaining mode which is shown as load following strategy and engine optimal strategy, and the effects of both control strategies are simulated and analyzed. The results indicate that the load following strategy can obviously extend battery’s lifespan, but the engine optimal strategy can reduce fuel consumption and emission effectively.

AbstractInfection prevention and control strategies aimed at reducing the occurrence of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and other antimicrobial-resistant organisms often include advice about screening patients coming from hospitals with a known resistance problem, to prevent introductions into new hospitals by shared patients. We argue that, despite being an efficient method of identifying cases, admission screening for introduction prevention is only effective if the absolute number of imported cases from other hospitals outnumbers the cases coming from the hospital’s own patient population, and therefore is only a feasible control strategy during the start of an epidemic. When determining whether import screening is still advisable, we therefore need to be continuously reminded of how Father Ted so eloquently summarised the principles of perspective: “These are small, but the ones out there are far away”.
