Identifying flexible loads, such as a heat pump, has an essential role in a home energy management system. In this study, an adaptive ensemble filtering framework integrated with long short-term memory (LSTM) is proposed for identifying flexible loads. The proposed framework, called AEFLSTM, takes advantage of filtering techniques and the representational power of LSTM for load disaggregation by ...

We prove and discuss some new refined Hölder inequalities for any p>1 and also a reversed version for 0<p<1. The key is to use the concepts of superquadraticity, strong convexity, and to first prove the corresponding refinements of the Young and reversed Young inequalities. Refinements of the Minkowski and reversed Minkowski inequalities are also given.

Bulk commodities are crucial to global economy and modern society. Some commodities, such as grain, are normally stored in cylindrical tanks. The height of the tank’s roof may be correlated to the substance quantity inside the tank, indicating that roof displacement may be associated with the volume of the bulk commodities. Here we analyzed the displacements derived from C-band Sentinel-1 data ...

A discussion related to the selection of a proper design basis for Arctic infrastructure facilities is presented. The design basis, which must be sufficiently robust to ensure safe operations of the facilities during their planned lifetime, should include relevant information available from the local and indigenous people of the area. The need to properly document all data and assumptions made ...

Rapid growth in urbanization and industrialization leads to an increase in air pollution and poor air quality. Because of its adverse effects on the natural environment and human health, it’s been declared a “silent public health emergency”. To deal with this global challenge, accurate prediction of air pollution is important for stakeholders to take required actions. In recent years, deep learning-based ...

Wireless power transfer can provide the convenience of automatic charging while the ships or maritime vehicles are docking, mooring, or in a sailing maneuver. It can address the challenges facing conventional wired charging technologies, including long charging and queuing time, wear and tear of the physical contacts, handling cables and wires, and electric shock hazards. Capacitive power transfer ...

Multiphysics simulation software has been developed to predict the key performance attributes of industrial powder coating applications based on applied process-parameter settings. The software is a Eulerian-Lagrangian finite-volume Multiphysics solver based on OpenFOAM, capable of modelling mass transfer effects between powder-coating pistols and electrically grounded metallic substrates. It considers ...

Norway has for a long time used railways as a means of transport. This method of transportation been used to haul raw materials such as wood and ore. Trains have today become competitors to cars and other means of transportation as a way to commute. However, the tracks used when hauling heavy loads are still being used regardless if the train's goods are commuters or raw materials. Heavy freight ...

Byggebransjen utvikles kontinuerlig, både med tanke på utførelse og verktøyene som benyttes på byggeplass men også hvordan selve prosjekteringsprosessen gjennomføres. Bruken av BIM i større prosjekter blir mer og mer vanlig, men potensialet som ligger i BIM som verktøy utnyttes i mange tilfeller svært lite effektivt. Det blir i mange prosjekter produsert både modell og tegninger for å sikre ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is replacing traditional manufacturing approaches – such as subtractive and molding – in some industries. The product and supply chain impacts of AM continue to extend its industrial reach, improve engineer-to-order manufacturing, and pave the way to mass customization. This study explores the supply chain changes that may arise from a full or partial transition to AM-based ...
