Delivering building demand flexibility for grid-interactive operation: from perception and cognition to decision, execution, and verification

As both buildings and power systems undergo rapid decarbonization, demand flexibility (DF) in buildings has emerged as a key enabler for renewable energy integration, grid reliability, energy resilience, and efficient and low carbon operation. By dynamically adjusting building en...

Operational Availability Assessment of Tidal Stream Turbines Using Environmental Data and Fuzzy Logic Inference

In hybrid energy systems, maintaining an optimal scheduling strategy for real-time distribution systems, particularly in triple hybrid power generation units, remains a critical challenge. The lack of an efficient real-time observability platform for off-grid hybrid units directl...

A Capacitive Tactile Sensor Digital Twin for Real-Time Synthetic Data Generation and Sim-to-Real Transfer in NVIDIA Isaac Sim

With advances in robotic manipulation in recent years, tactile sensing has become increasingly important in scenarios where visual information is unreliable or insufficient. However, the development of learning-based tactile algorithms and policies is limited by the cost and time...
