    Noise-Enabled Observability of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Using the Empirical Observability Gramian Nathan D. Powel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Kristi Morgansen, Chair Juris Vagners Mehran Mesbahi Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Aeronautics & Astronautics c Copyright 2016 Nathan D. Powel University of Washington Abstract Noise-Enabled Observability of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Using the Empirical Observability Gramian Nathan D. Powel Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Kristi Morgansen Aeronautics & Astronautics While control actuation is well understood to influence the observability of nonlinear dy- namical systems, actuation of nonlinear stochastic systems by process noise has received comparatively little attention in terms of the effects on observability. As noise is present in essentially all physically instantiated systems, complete analysis of observability must account for process noise. We approach the problem of process-noise-induced observability through the use of a tool called the empirical observability Gramian. We demonstrate that the empirical observability Gramian can provide a unified approach to observability anal- ysis, by providing sufficient conditions for weak observability of continuous-time nonlinear systems, local weak observability of discrete-time nonlinear systems, and stochastic observ- ability of continuous-time stochastic linear systems with multiplicative noise. The empirical observability Gramian can be used to extend notions of stochastic observability that depend explicitly on linear systems structure to nonlinear stochastic systems. We use Monte Carlo methods to analyze the observability of nonlinear stochastic systems with noise and control actuation. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page List of Figures . iii List of Tables .

    Energy Saving and Voltage Stabilisation in Urban Electrified Public Transport of Belgrade – Analysis of Simulation Results

    10th International Scientific Conference “Science and Higher Education in Function of Sustainable Development” 06 – 07 October 2017, Mećavnik – Drvengrad, Užice, Serbia ENERGY SAVING AND VOLTAGE STABILISATION IN URBAN ELECTRIFIED PUBLIC TRANSPORT OF BELGRADE – ANALYSIS OF SIMULATION RESULTS Gavrilovic Branislav1, PhD; Bundalo Zoran2, PhD 1 Railway College of Vocational Studies, Belgrade, SERBIA, [email protected] 2 Railway College of Vocational Studies, Belgrade, SERBIA, [email protected] Abstract: The power consumption of a tram is characterized by distinct peaks combined with a low average value. Using an on- board energy storage, the overhead line peak power and energy consumption can be reduced. The storage device introduces a degree of freedom for control of the power flow. To incorporate the freedom an energy management is required. The design of the energy management can be seen as a multi-objective optimization problem with the objectives “minimize line peak power” and “minimize energy consumption”. As common to most multiobjective optimization problems it is not possible to minimize both objectives at the same time. This paper describes new on board energy storage systems applied in the urban electrified public transport in Belgrade (R. Serbia) Keywords: regenerative brak , energy consumption savings 1. INTRODUCTION The urban electrified public transport in Belgrade, employ the low voltage DC systems at 600 V, which are usually the most economic. In this case, the pantograph connects directly the contact line to the power inverters of the train by means of filter capacitors. The average distance between substations is very limited for example, in a subway at 750 V with heavy traffic, it can be of the order of 1.5 km, with minimum values of 1.3 km.

    Stadt(Ver)Führungen 2018 Programm

    Projektbüro im Kulturreferat Stadt(ver)führungen 1 Wochenende | 800 routen | 8 euro visionen 21. – 23. September 2018 in nürnberg und fürth ARCHITEKTUR VORWORT / INHALTSVERZEICHNIS Visionen Nürnberg macht sich fit für die Zukunft. Und die Kultur dient dabei als Zugpferd; gerade in der Entwicklung einer Vision für eine lebenswerte (Kultur-)Stadt 2025 und darüber hinaus. Überall findet sich Aufbruch: der Bau einer neuen Universi- tät in Nürnberg, die Entwicklung zukunftsweisender Materialien in der Energie- wirtschaft, innovative Robotik in der Chirurgie, virtuelle Museumslandschaften, die Entwicklung einer internationalen Ethik des Völkerrechts, die Untersuchung neuer Formen des städtischen Zusammenlebens in europäischen Forschungs- projekten sowie Wohn- und Arbeitsformen, in denen sich die Menschen gegen- seitig unterstützen und inspirieren. Das Schlagwort „Partizipation“, das gerade bei Zukunftsvisionen erhöhte Bedeutung erlangt, hat in Nürnberg seit der Kulturladenbewegung der 70er Jahre eine gewisse Tradition. Signifikant sind dafür auch Formate wie die Stadt(ver)führungen, die auch in der 19. Auflage wieder sachkundigen Bürgern, bekannten Persönlichkeiten, professionellen Stadtführern sowie engagierten Vereinen und Institutionen Raum geben, ihre Visionen auszudrücken und zu vermitteln. Wesentlich ist die Begegnung der Menschen miteinander bei der klassischen Führung und bei partizi- pativen Formen wie der offenen Probe eines Theaterstücks, dem internationalen Frauenfrühstück, dem Jodelworkshop, der Kreation eigener Visionen im Forschungslabor oder der gemeinsamen Erstellung eines Kunstwerks. Die enorme Bandbreite des Themenspektrums ist den vielen Beteiligten zu verdanken, die sich intensiv für diese Art der Wissensvermittlung engagieren. Ihnen gilt mein herzlicher Dank ebenso wie den Mitarbei- tern im Projektbüro des Kulturreferats und den Förderern für ihre Unterstützung: dem ESW – Evangelisches Siedlungswerk, der VR Bank Nürnberg, den Nürnberger Nachrichten sowie dem Funkhaus Nürnberg.

    IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN INDIA; PART II An Overview in Pictures on advisable Rolling Stocks for Light Rail and Regional Rapid Transit - the Future of Mobility in India with Urban Rail By Dr. F.A. Wingler, Germany, April 2020 INTRODUCTION With a massive drive, India is on the way to provide MOBILITY as a SERVICE, MaaS, and to mitigate its often chaotic Urban Transport Environments. Investing in METRO- RAIL alone – although deployed in India in a large scale – does not solve the transport and traffic problems in congested areas. “Urban Rail” is a technical collective term encompassing Metro Rail, Commuter Rail, Light Metro, Light Rail Transit (“Metro-Lite”), Regional Rapid Transit and (Ultra) Very Light Rail Vehicles. India is proceeding to integrate Metro-Rail, Commuter Rail and Governmental Indian Railways within multimodal urban, suburban, interurban and regional public transport schemes by Hubs with LIGHT-METRO, LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, METRO-LITE and REGIONAL RAPID (Semi-High Speed) TRANSITS, RRTS. With Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite there is in India the aspect of INTEROPERABILITY of Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite with Metro Rail sharing track, lines and infrastructure as TRAM-METRO-TRAIN within a comprehensive Urban Rail Concept. Other affiliated transport modes to be connected and integrated are Rubber Tyred Bus Rapid Transit, BRT or METRO-NEO, WATER-METRO and Aerial METRO ROPEWAY: 1 Artist`s Concept for Dehradun Metro Ropeway; by F.A. Wingler The cost effective METRO-LITE can be regarded as the “YOUNGER SISTER OF METRO-RAIL”, and REGIONAL RAPID TRANSIT as the “FASTER BROTHER OF METRO RAIL”. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, LRT, WITH LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES, LRV The origin for LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT or “METRO-LITE” is based on electric City Trams, that started worldwide at begin of the last century.
