The multi-float multi-mode wave energy converter (M-WEC) M4 has essentially linear hydrodynamics characteristics in operational and even extreme waves. This is in contrast to point-absorber and most raft-type devices where ...

Developing optimal control strategies with capability of real-time implementation for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) has drawn explosive attention. In this study, a novel hierarchical control framework is proposed ...

In this paper, a rule learning based energy management strategy is proposed to achieve preferable energy consumption economy for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. Firstly, the optimal control sequence of fuel cell power ...

IEEE Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of lithium-ion batteries plays an important role in intelligent battery management systems (BMSs). The current RUL prediction methods are mainly developed based on offline training, ...

As a kind of large flexible structure, high-rise buildings need to consider wind-resistant and anti-seismic problems for the safety of occupants and properties, especially in coastal areas. This paper proposes an infinite ...

Wave energy converters with capacity similar to, or greater than, wind turbines are desirable for the supply of electricity to the grid. It is shown that this may be provided by multiple floats in a hinged raft-type ...

With the development of connected and automated vehicles, eco-driving control is reckoned to generate unprecedented potential on energy-saving in electrified powertrain. In this paper, a data-driven based eco-driving control ...
