Auto-code generation for fast embedded model predictive controllers
Currie, J; Prince-Pike, A; Wilson, DI (IEEE, 2012)The implementation of model predictive controllers on low-cast hardware such as micro-controllers has been traditionally hampered by the high computing and associated memory demands of the algorithm. This paper describes ... -
Consumption and Foraging Behaviors for Common Stimulants (Nicotine, Caffeine)
Phillips, J; Phillips, JG; Currie, J; Ogeil, RP (Taylor & Francis, 2015)Models are needed to understand the emerging capability to track consumers' movements. Therefore, we examined the use of legal and readily available stimulants that vary in their addictive potential (nicotine, caffeine). ... -
A Distributed Machine Learning Approach for the Secondary Voltage Control of an Islanded Micro-Grid
Al Karim, M; Currie, J; Lie, T (IEEE, 2016)Balancing the active and the reactive power in a stand-alone micro-grid is a critical task. A micro-grid without energy storage capability is even more vulnerable to stability issues. This paper investigates a distributed ... -
Distributed Machine Learning on Dynamic Power System Data Features to Improve Resiliency for the Purpose of Self-healing
Karim, MA; Currie, J; Lie, T-TNumerous online methods for post-fault restoration have been tested on different types of systems. Modern power systems are usually operated at design limits and therefore more prone to post-fault instability. However, ... -
Examining the Thermal Comfort Characteristics of Naturally Ventilated Residential Buildings in New Zealand
Pokhrel, M; Anderson, T; Currie, J; Lie, T (Australian PV Institute, 2016)In New Zealand’s (NZ) mild climatic conditions most residential houses are ventilated naturally, mainly by opening windows. Previous studies have found that an overwhelming proportion of housing stock performs poorly from ... -
A Machine Learning Based Optimized Energy Dispatching Scheme for Restoring a Hybrid Microgrid
Karim, MA; Currie, J; Lie, TT (Elsevier, 2018)A microgrid operated in stand alone mode is highly vulnerable to instability when the integration of intermittent energy sources are considered. If a short circuit fault occurs in a microgrid while operating at its design ... -
Modelling and optimisation of the Otahuhu B combined cycle gas turbine power station
Lim, H; Currie, J; Wilson, DI; Rickerby, J (2013)The generation of electrical power in New Zealand is currently complicated by the governments desire to sell 49% of the state-owned existing power stations, the fact that Rio Tinto are threatening to sell Tiwai Point ... -
Residential Household Electrical Appliance Management Using Model Predictive Control of a Grid Connected Photovoltaic-Battery System
Ahmad, A; Anderson, T; Swain, AK; Lie, TT; Currie, J (Australian PV Institute, 2016)Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) based power generation technology is being pushed to the forefront as a viable alternative source of renewable energy, particularly in small-scale domestic applications. Due to the variable ... -
A Systematic Approach to Modelling Organic Rankine Cycle Systems for Global Optimization
Am, V; Currie, J; Wilson, D (IEEE, 2017)As more innovative organic Rankine cycle (ORC) designs are being proposed, it is becoming more important that a reliable and robust modelling approach is crucial for optimizing these systems. While commercial simulation ... -
The efficient modelling of steam utility systems
Currie, J; Wilson, DI (IPENZ, 2013)Industrial utility systems, traditionally the "poor forgotten cousin" of the processing industry, are now receiving the attention they deserve. While the thermodynamics and process models of utility systems are well ...
