Todays power system is in a transformation phase towards a Smart Grid due to the integration of renewables and availability of advanced information technologies allowing it to be controlled in a more optimized way. The design, implementation, and validation of corresponding applications and functions can be a very complex task. The usage of common rules and domain standards can support this process but a formalized design approach is missing today. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the current state of practice in designing Smart Grids applications and to identify open gaps. Moreover, important requirements for the definition of a common application modeling language are discussed and a first formalized approach is presented.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) networks are increasingly utilized in highly demanding scenarios such as medical applications. In such cases hardware designs emerge as a prominent approach to address processing demanding tasks offering significant advantages over respective software based solutions. In such cases reconfiguration capabilities enable the achievement of critical trade-off between adequate performance and resource conservation. In this context the main contribution of this paper is the proposal and performance evaluation of a reconfigurable encryption module with respect to the encryption key size aiming towards WSN utilization. Performance will be presented with respect to encryption process delay, reconfiguration delay and power consumption projecting to energy expenditure.

This paper presents a method to improve the accuracy of synchronous control systems for dual linear stages driven by linear servomotors in order to quickly eliminate the velocity and position synchronous errors of the dual linear stages. Two velocity controllers and a synchronous controller are designed for the control system. To decrease the velocity tracking errors, two velocity controllers are designed to follow the velocity tracking commands which are also the desired velocity profiles specified by the given tasks and have optimized acceleration and deceleration characteristics. Moreover, the synchronous controller is designed to quickly and stably eliminate the position and velocity synchronous errors of the two dual linear stages by improving the damping characteristics of the synchronous control system. The experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronous control system.

A full understanding of many unconventional hydrocarbon resources is not possible because either there are no datasets or only incomplete or unevaluated. Some resources do not even have datasets from wells that have been drilled for exploration purposes. Specifically, unevaluated information on coal, tight gas, shale gas and gas hydrates, is delaying use of technologies that are in place in the market on a commercial scale. In addition, lack of knowledge makes the environmental impact of exploiting an unconventional resource, unpredictable. As a result of the unknowns involving exploration and development risks, productibility and recovery costs, the development of these global resources is being delayed. Evaluation and organization of data on these unconventional resources are needed for any analysis of petroleum ecosystems. As a solution, we propose a robust data-warehousing and mining approach, supported by ontology. Data from unconventional data need to be gathered in a proactive and systematic way. These multidimensional heterogeneous data can be integrated to explore unknown multiple connections among attributes of multiple dimensions of unconventional resources (from different geographic, geological and production regimes). This paper presents an attempt to make use of ontologies written for multiple dimensions to facilitate connections among unconventional petroleum ecosystems. Fine-grained data assist the data-mining procedures for forecasting, in competent and turbulent markets. Sweet spots may have been hidden in databases. The proposed methodology is robust and may be able to resolve issues associated with mining of sweet spots and uncover them from unconventional resource data warehouses and to help adapt technologies for tapping these sweet spots. If the proposed methodology is successful, it can be applied in any basin for all unconventional reservoir ecosystems present.

The emergence of the Smart Grid promises a new generation of innovative applications and services that are based on the fine-grained information acquired almost in “real-time” from the underlying infrastructure. To realize this vision, (open) platforms providing access to the smart meter data as well as potential management and value-added functionalities are needed. These will offer basic energy services that can be commonly used by application developers. We depict here our assessment from implementing and operating such a platform in a pilot that took place in Spain in 2012, and draw some lessons learned that affect their design and performance.

In the paper, the mechatronic design of a new type of Powerball®, named ControlledBioBall, carried out to overcome the present drawbacks, is be presented and discussed with special focus on the software developed in the editor LabVIEW®. Devices for wrist rehabilitation must be able to make movements of the wrist quirky and complex. Powerball® is such a market existing device that can be used for wrist rehabilitation and also as a sports aid for strengthening the wrist. The operation of Powerball® is based on the gyroscope principle. While the gyroscope is spinning, the movement of the wrist will tilt the shell and a reaction moment will be produced. Nevertheless, Powerball® in the existing market have considerable limitations, such as: must be manually started; the rotation speed is not controlled; the torque must be at least equal to the minimum torque to maintain the rotation of the mass inside Powerball®, and finally, due to the small panel attached to the ball patients will find inconvenience to view and manipulate it. This manner, for improving the effectivity of the wrist rehabilitation processes, a new type of Powerball® has been developed. This will have adjustable speed given by an electric motor inside the ball, and consequently the manual start and the requirement of minimum torque will be eliminated. Also, a system composed by sensors, data acquisition board and human-machine interface will be considered to allow the process of rehabilitation to be fully controlled..

Networked Control Systems (NCS) are widely used in industrial applications. Ethernet has recently been used as the communication protocol in NCS. Since overcoming faults is crucial in control systems, fault-tolerance in NCS is being extensively investigated. This paper focuses on the fault-tolerance aspect of Ethernet-based NCS at the network fabric level. It proposes a novel architecture that achieves successful recovery from any single link or switch failure. The model was also tested and proved to be fault-tolerant for some multiple failures.

In order to maximize cost and quality gains, industrial automation systems need to incorporate the best practices of software engineering in their application development process. However, this requires the right set of tools and methodologies that cater to the needs of the automation domain. While there have been a few efforts towards applying state-of-the-art software engineering tools and techniques to the automation domain, these have not been universally adopted. This paper discusses some of the challenges in adopting software engineering principles for industrial automation application development. Further, the paper presents a case for research activities to look for more practical solutions for industrial applications.

The usage and deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is rapidly increasing in many different monitoring and control applications. In the majority of these applications, energy is a key factor in sensor networks since the sensor nodes are battery powered and hence have limited resources of energy. In this context, choosing a proper energy-efficient routing technique can increase the network life time. In this paper, a new Hybrid Energy-Efficient (HEE) routing protocol is proposed. HEE uses Direct Transmission (DT) and Minimum Energy Transmission (MTE) which are two of the simplest methods in terms of computational complexity. However the design of routing techniques is highly dependent on the application and the performance may vary based on environmental parameters. The novel proposed method is applicable for different networks regardless of the size and distances between the nodes and also with different parameters such as number of nodes and message length. Simulation results show how HEE performs more efficiently in terms of energy consumption when comparing to DT and MTE.

Many implementations of the OPC-UA are increasingly available. Until now, use of technologies like the OPC-UA was limited to embedded systems with a sufficient amount of memory resources. OPC-UA offers a scalable feature set that could be tailored according to application demands. We believe that a key to successfully enable Internet of Things for the industrial automation applications lies in bringing down the OPC-UA into low end resource-limited devices, such as sensors. Because the OPC-UA provides a powerful information representation that is exchangeable through interoperable services. This paper has investigated the OPC-UA as a middleware solution for such resource-limited devices. For a proof of concept we have implemented an OPC-UA server based on the “Nano Embedded Device Server profiles” of the OPC Foundation.
