The growing capacity of intermittent energy sources causes more frequent system imbalances as well congestion. Demand flexibility is a valuable resource that can be used to resolve these. Unfortunately, also contribute congestion, particularly when balance the grid. Using solve grid problems without creating new ones requires well-designed financial incentives. Congestion management mechanisms ...

Preventive maintenance practices have been proven to reduce costs in many industries. In the mining industry, preventive is main form of maintenance, especially for mobile equipment. With increase sensor data and installation wireless infrastructure within underground mines, predictive are beginning be applied equipment process. However, transition from succeed, researchers must first understan...

This paper describes a calibrated and an uncalibrated method for integrating a vision system with touch sensors and a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Traditionally, vision systems are used to measure machined parts and to localize manufacturing defects based on appearances. Our system relies on a “coarse-fine” approach to integrating vision with CMMs. Vision guides the CMM to the feature to...

The relationship between customer mindset metrics (CMMs) and consumer spending has been extensively investigated at the firm level, but little is known about it national nor how differs countries. Drawing on five publicly available datasets gathered in 10 European countries over 20 years, our study traces connections three CMMs – satisfaction, perceived service quality loyalty intentions spendi...

complied with the regulations of the University and meets with the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Facilities managers need to identify and understand deterioration/failure causes-effect patterns in order to prepare preventive maintenance plans. However, this task is difficult because of the complex interaction between different building components and their operatio...

This paper aims at proposing reference models to integrate the predictive maintenance in manufacturing system. This integration is based on the functioningmalfunctioning model of a manufacturing system, and on the contribution of predictive maintenance system and supervisory control for predictive maintenance. The results of this integration is an upgrade information-based repository for the in...
