Optimal Operation of Integrated Energy Systems Under Uncertainties: Distributionally Robust and Stochastic Models discusses new solutions to the rapidly emerging concerns surrounding energy usage and environmental deterioration. Integrated energy systems (IESs) are acknowledged to be a promising approach to increasing the efficiency of energy utilization by exploiting complementary (alternative) energy sources and storages. IESs show favorable performance for improving the penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and accelerating low-carbon transition. However, as more renewables penetrate the energy system, their highly uncertain characteristics challenge the system, with significant impacts on safety and economic issues.

To this end, this book provides systematic methods to address the aggravating uncertainties in IESs from two aspects: distributionally robust optimization and online operation.

Presents energy scheduling, considering power, gas, and carbon markets concurrently based on distributionally robust optimization methods Helps readers design day-ahead scheduling schemes, considering both decision-dependent uncertainties and decision-independent uncertainties for IES Covers online scheduling and energy auctions by stochastic optimization methods Includes analytic results given to measure the performance gap between real performance and ideal performance

Afterward, the authors introduce sensing and control-oriented transmission for industrial network systems, which take advantage of spatial diversity gain to overcome the interference and fading, which in turn improves the transmission reliability without expending extra spectrum resources and enlarging the transmission delay.

This SpringerBrief evaluates the cooperative effort of sensor nodes to accomplish high-level tasks with sensing, data processing and communication. The metrics of network-wide convergence, unbiasedness, consistency and optimality are discussed through network topology, distributed estimation algorithms and consensus strategy. Systematic analysis reveals that proper deployment of sensor nodes and a small number of low-cost relays (without sensing function) can speed up the information fusion and thus improve the estimation capability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This brief also investigates the spatial distribution of sensor nodes and basic scalable estimation algorithms, the consensus-based estimation capability for a class of relay assisted sensor networks with asymmetric communication topology, and the problem of filter design for mobile target tracking over WSNs. From the system perspective, the network topology is closely related to the capability and efficiency of network-wide scalable distributed estimation. Wireless Sensor Networks: Distributed Consensus Estimation is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals working in wireless communications, networks and distributed computing. Advanced-level students studying computer science and electrical engineering will also find the content helpful.

However, the openness and weak communication characteristics of USNs make underwater localization much more challenging in comparison to terrestrial sensor networks. In this book, we focus on the localization problem in USNs, taking into account the unique characteristics of the underwater environment.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are emerging as a promising solution to help us explore and understand the ocean. The global market for AUVs is predicted to grow from 638 million dollars in 2020 to 1,638 million dollars by 2025 – a compound annual growth rate of 20.8 percent. To make AUVs suitable for a wider range of application-specific missions, it is necessary to deploy multiple AUVs to cooperatively perform the localization, tracking and formation tasks. However, weak underwater acoustic communication and the model uncertainty of AUVs make achieving this challenging. This book presents cutting-edge results regarding localization, tracking and formation for AUVs, highlighting the latest research on commonly encountered AUV systems. It also showcases several joint localization and tracking solutions for AUVs. Lastly, it discusses future research directions and provides guidance on the design of future localization, tracking and formation schemes for AUVs. Representing a substantial contribution to nonlinear system theory, robotic control theory, and underwater acoustic communication system, this book will appeal to university researchers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students in control theory and control engineering who wish to learn about the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of AUVs. Moreover, the practical localization, tracking and formation schemes presented provide guidance on exploring the ocean. The book is intended for those with an understanding of nonlinear system theory, robotic control theory, and underwater acoustic communication systems.

With the rapid development of robotics and communication technologies, maritime unmanned systems (MUSs) have emerged as a critical research domain due to their unprecedented capabilities in oceanographic data collection, environmental monitoring, and marine ecosystem studies. Specifically, MUSs refer to interoperable robotic systems operating synergistically in aerial, surface and underwater environments. At present, MUSs exhibit the characteristics of diversified sensing resources, decentralized architectures, and systematic coordination, making the detection-communication-control crucial for efficient operations and multi-mission adaptability. However, the traditional research predominantly adopts separate design approaches for detection, communication and control in MUSs. The separate design creates dual constraints: the detection-communication interactions lack effective feedback mechanisms while the control commands become vulnerable to information incompleteness. To address the above issue, it is urgent to co-design the detection, communication and control for MUSs. This research direction has profound strategic significance and long-term value for the future development and application of marine technology.This book is devoted to present the cutting-edge results on the integrated design of detection, communication, and control for MUSs. It first elaborates on the basic concepts of detection, communication and control in maritime environment. After that, it presents several integrated design solutions for the detection, communication, and control in MUSs, including detection-communication integration, detection-control integration, communication-control integration, and detection-communication-control integration. Finally, this book concludes with practical applications of these integrated design methodologies in modern port monitoring systems, demonstrating their effectiveness in real-world maritime scenarios.The book provides actionable insights of developing next-generation MUSs for the researchers, engineers, and practitioners in maritime robotics, autonomous systems, and networked control. A background in control theory, signal processing, or wireless communication is recommended to fully grasp the advanced techniques. Whether you're advancing academic research or optimizing industrial systems, this book equips you with cutting-edge tools to push the boundaries of maritime autonomy.

As a typical distributed cyber-physical system (DCPS), which is an intelligent system that integrates computing, communication, and control, networked robotic systems can perform higher-level tasks by sharing information and working together.
