Recent Topic of Olfactory Information Technology

Prof. Takamichi Nakamoto

Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan

Abstract

Olfactory information technology is recently evolving. It is intended to handle even olfaction in cyberspace. First, odor reproduction technique is presented. Odor can be approximated using small number of odor components when we adjust the mixture composition. The technique to extract odor components and the experimental data will be presented, Then, the technique of predicting odor impression is presented. Odor impression made up of several odor descriptors is predicted from mass spectrum using deep learning. Natural language processing is also used to characterize odor descriptors. Finally, an olfactory display to blend multiple ingredients is explained. We recently evaluated the reproduced smell from olfactory display using sensory test. The principle of olfactory display and result of sensory test are presented in this conference.

Operation of Future Power Systems with High Penetration of IBRs: A Stability-constrained Optimization Approach

Dr. Fei Teng

Imperial College, United Kingdom

Abstract

Future power systems are transitioning towards low inertia, low grid strength and low short-circuit level, driven by the large-scale integration of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs). This leads to enormous challenges in optimising the system operation and designing an efficient electricity market. Given the more diverse operating conditions and increasing control interactions, the existing operational strategies, that decouple device-level control and system-level optimization, are not sufficient anymore to maintain the efficient and reliable operation of future power systems. This talk will present a new generation of system operation strategies to simultaneously optimise the control design and the operation decision through a stability-constrained optimization framework. The talk will briefly introduce the development of the efficient modelling of control capabilities of IBRs, the optimization-friendly dynamic stability constraints, the extension of the optimization framework and the uncertainty management in system dynamics.
