The influent average concentration of CODcr and total nitrogen was 350mg-L-l and 35mg.L-l. The experiment indicated the following four operation control strategies： （1） When operation cycle was 6 hours, oxidation of organic pollutants and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification could well completed in the SBR reactor; （2） TN removal rate could be increased significantly, 40% higher than traditional SBR processes when idle period was set between influent and aeration; （3） The time of idle period could affect simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and the best time is 30 minutes; （4） Increase of sludge organic load may improve TN removal efficiency, but NH3-N removal efficiency declines.展开更多

These strategies produce perfect optimized cost savings and are not typically realized in the real world, unless a safety factor is applied. Rather than show how to improve the industry＇s ability to accurately model and simulate a true TES system design, this paper will show advanced building information strategies and energy management simulation techniques required to truly achieve the ideal optimized cost savings, determined from the TES energy simulation analysis. This paper uses the hospitality industry as a case study, showing the application of simulation and analytical modeling for an optimized partial TES system. As a result building energy managers can make better decisions through the entire building life cycle from the earliest concept model through operation and maintenance.展开更多

In the open and changeable environment on the Internet, it is of great significance to research a system flexible and capable in dynamic evolution that can find a collaboration method for agents which can be used in dynamic evolution process. With such a method, agents accomplish tasks for an overall target and at the same time, the collaborative relationship of agents can be adjusted with the change of environment. A method of task decomposition and collaboration of agents by improved contract net protocol is introduced. Finally, analysis on the result of the experiments is performed to verify the improved contract net protocol can greatly increase the efficiency of communication and collaboration in multi-agent system.展开更多

The algorithm is based on the synthetic optimization of dynamic performance and energy consumption of airship. Firstly, according to the system overall configuration, the dynamic model of HAA was established and the HAA linearized model of longitudinal plane motion was obtained. Secondly, using the classic PID control theory, the HAA attitude control system was designed. Thirdly, through analyzing the dynamic performance of airship with fin or vectored thruster control, the synthetic performance index function with different weighting functions was determined. By means of optimizing the obtained performance index function, the attitude control of high altitude airship with good dynamic performance and low energy consumption was achieved. Finally, attitude control allocation strategy was designed for the airship station keeping at an altitude of 22 km. The simulation experiment proved the validity of the proposed algorithm.展开更多
