Brain function disorders, resulting for instance from stroke, epilepsy, or other incidents can be partially recovered by rehabilitation training. Performing neuro-rehabilitation in virtual reality systems allows for training scenarios close to daily tasks, is easily adaptable to the patients’ needs, is fully controllable by clinical staff, and guarantees patient safety at all times. In this pap...

Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...

Implementation of advanced controls and diagnostic features in small commercial buildings typically requires realtime monitoring of the energy flows, such as the power consumption and cooling capacity of rooftop units. However, these measurements are expensive and therefore limit the application of these advanced features. In order to lower the measurement cost, virtual sensing technology for r...
