Wanted! - Open M&S Standards and Technologies for the Smart Grid
Subtitle:
Introducing the Open Source iTesla Power Systems Modelica Library and the RaPId Toolbox for Model Identification and Validation
Abstract:
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) technologies have a broad set of applications in power systems, from infrastructure planning, through real-time testing of components, and even for training operators to use decision support systems. However, power system M&S technologies face a great challenge to meet when designing, testing, operating and controlling cyber-physical and sustainable electrical energy systems and components, a.k.a “Smart Grids”.
The speaker claims that open M&S standards can have a large role to play in the development of Smart Grids. This claim will be justified with three examples.
The first example describes the experience gained during the EU FP7 iTesla project where the iTesla Power Systems Modelica Library (iPSL) was designed using the Modelica language. The Modelica language, being standardized and equation-based, has proven valuable for the project for model exchange, and even simulation of actual power networks.
Within the iTesla project, the KTH SmarTS Lab research group has been also applying the FMI standard for model exchange in order to develop a software prototype called RaPId. The RaPId Toolbox aims to provide a “virtual laboratory” to solve parameter identification and model validation problems for any kind of model represented in an FMU, but specifically, for power systems.
The third example comes from a collaboration with Xogeny. It will be shown how it is possible to exploit the FMI to decouple the model from the simulator tool, and thus, exploit the model in unforeseen ways. This shows that is possible develop customized and stand-alone analysis tools using web technologies, giving analyst more time for “analysis”. This approach has an enormous potential for typical analysis applications, but even more, for education.
Power System Simulation: History, State of the Art, and ChallengesLuigi Vanfretti
This talk will give an overview of power system simulation technology through several decades, aiming to provide an understanding of the modeling philosophy and approach that has lead to the state of the art in (domain specific) power system simulation tools. This historical perspective will contrast the de facto proprietary software development method used by the power engineering community, against the open source development model. Aspects of resistance to change particular to the power system engineering community will be highlighted.
Given this particular context, power system simulation faces enormous challenges to adapt in order to satisfy simulation needs of both cyber-physical and sustainable system challenges. Such challenges will be highlighted during the talk.
There is, however, an opportunity for disruptive change in power system simulation technology emerging for the EU Smart Grid Mandate M/490, which requires "a set of consistent standards, which will support the information exchange (communication protocols and data models) and the integration of all users into the electric system operation." These regulatory aspects will be explained to highlight the importance of collaboration between the power system domain and computer system experts.
Open modeling and simulation standards may have a large role to play in the development of the European Smart Grid which will have to overcome challenges related to the design, operation and control of cyber-physical and sustainable electrical energy systems. To contribute to this role, the KTH SmarTS Lab research group has been applying the standardized Modelica language and the FMI standard for model exchange in order to couple the domain specific data exchange model (CIM) with the powerful and modern simulation technologies developed by the Modelica community. These efforts will be also discussed.
ECMFA 2015 - Energy Consumption Analysis and Design with Foundational UMLLuca Berardinelli
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are nowadays applied to a
wide set of domains (e.g., security, health). WSN are networks of spatially distributed, radio-communicating, battery-powered, autonomous sensor nodes. WSN are characterized by scarcity of resources, hence an application running on them should carefully manage its resources. The most critical resource in WSN is the nodes’ battery.
In this paper, we propose model-based engineering facilities to analyze the energy consumption and to develop energy-aware applications for WSN that are based on Agilla Middleware. For this aim i) we extend the Agilla Instruction Set with the new battery instruction able to retrieve the battery Voltage of a WSN node at run-time; ii) we measure the energy that the execution of each Agilla instruction consumes on a target platform; and iii) we extend the Agilla Modeling Framework with a new analysis that, leveraging the conducted energy consumption measurements, predicts the energy required by the Agilla agents running on the WSN. Such analysis, implemented in fUML, is based on simulation and it guides the design of WSN applications that guarantee low energy consumption. The approach is showed on the Reader agent used in the Wild Fire Tracker Application.

The first part explores meta-heuristic search algorithms and envisioned their application for designing distributed, self-organizing control systems using evolutionary algorithms.

INDUCTION MACHINES ANALYSIS USING LABVIEW SOFTWARE PACKAGE _Ijmet 10 04_085Isaac Samuel
Induction machines are widely used in many industries due to their robustness, ruggedness and easy maintenance feature. Due to the addition of power electronics devices and the complexity involved in the design of induction machines, their study and analysis can be very difficult. The use of software packages has been widely adopted to analyze and study the behaviours of induction machines. This work focused on the use
of an engineering software package known as Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). It is used in this work to study the behaviour and characteristics of induction machines. LabVIEW was utilized due to its cheap and userfriendly feature. This work shows that induction machines can be completely analyzed using related mathematical equations for performance analysis.
This paper presents a new simulator used to distribute and execute real-time simulations: the RT-LAB, developed by opal-RT technologies (Montreal, Canada). One of its essential characteristics is the perfect integration with MATLAB/Simulink. The RT-LAB allows the conversion of Simulink models in real time via real-time workshop (RTW) and their execution on one or more processors. In this context, the paper focuses on the RT-LAB real-time simulation as a complement to the MATLAB/Simulink environment, which has been used to perform the simulation of the Flywheel energy storage system (FESS -variable speed wind generation (VSWG) assembly. The purpose of employing a fairly new real-time platform (RT-LAB OP -5600) is to reduce the test and prototype time. This application will be executed on each element of our model that was previously developed under MATLAB/Simulink. The real-time simulation results are observed in the workstation.

Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element AnalysisIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction
motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which
contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine.
Each of these components is simulated in different software environments.
So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM
which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform
environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is
developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink
environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design
and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is
exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of
different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first
is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is
the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze
the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been
performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed
verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.

RaPId is a recursive acronym for Rapid Parameter Identification. The toolbox was built within WP3 of the FP7 iTesla project. It uses Modelica models compiled in FMUs compliant with the FMI standard, which are imported into Simulink using the FMI Toolbox for Matlab/Simulink from Modelon. Within the Matlab environment, we have developed a plug-in architecture that lets the user choose many different (or even their own) optimization solvers for parameter calibration. Not to mention, you can choose any simulation solver available in Simulink (not just trapezoidal integration!)

Model-Simulation-and-Measurement-Based Systems Engineering of Power System Sy...Luigi Vanfretti
This talk starts by exploring how electrical power systems are increasingly becoming digitalized, leading to their transformation into a class of cyber-physical systems (a system of systems) where the electrical grid merges with ubiquitous information and communication technologies (ICT).
This type of complex systems present unprecedented challenges in their operation and control, and due to unknown interactions with ICT, require new concepts, methods and tools to facilitate their operational design, manufacturing (of components), and testing/verification/validation of their performance.
Inspired by the tremendous advantages of the model-based system engineering (MBSE) framework developed by the aerospace and military communities, this talk will highlight the challenges to adopt MBSE for electrical power grids. MBSE is not only a framework to deal with all the phases of putting in place complex systems-of-systems, but also provides a foundation for the democratization of technology - both software and hardware.
The talk will illustrate the foundations that have been built by the presenter's research over the last 7 years, placed within the context of MBSE, with focus on areas of power engineering. Some of these foundations and contributions include the OpenIPSL, RaPId, SD3K, BableFish and Khorjin open source software developed and distributed online by the research group, and available at: https://github.com/ALSETLab

Hopf Bifurcation Control of Power Systems Nonlinear Dynamics Via a Dynamic St...Luigi Vanfretti
This is the second part of a two-part paper presenting a dynamic state feedback control law that guarantees the elimination of Hopf bifurcations before the occurrence of a saddle-node bifurcation. In Part I, the mathematical representation of the system's dynamics, Hopf, and Saddle-Node bifurcation theorems, and the state feedback controller design were presented. In this part, to illustrate the system analysis methodology, control design, and to carry out performance evaluation of the controller, both single-machine and multimachine power systems are analyzed. To highlight the effect of saturation phenomena, bifurcation analyses are performed before and after detailed modeling of synchronous generator saturation, for the single-machine power system case. The multimachine case is used to illustrate the scalability and applicability of the method to generic power networks.
Hopf Bifurcation Control of Power System Nonlinear Dynamics via a Dynamic Sta...Luigi Vanfretti
This two-part paper introduces a dynamic state feedback control law that guarantees the elimination of Hopf bifurcations (HB) before reaching the saddle-node bifurcations (SNB). Part I is devoted to the mathematical representation of the detailed system dynamics, investigation of HB and SNB theorems, and state feedback controller design. For purposes of dynamical analysis, the stable equilibria of the system is obtained. Then the control system is designed with the objective of preventing the voltage collapse before the SNB, such that the structural stability of the system is preserved in the stationary branch of the solutions. The controller aims to relocate Hopf bifurcations to the stationary branch of solutions located after SNB, eliminating the HB from normal operating region of the system. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller, bifurcation analysis has been performed in Part II using single-machine and multi-machine test systems.
Vulnerability of Synchrophasor-based WAMPAC Applications’ to Time-Synchroniza...Luigi Vanfretti
This paper experimentally assesses the impact of time synchronization spoofing attacks (TSSA) on synchrophasor-based Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection and Control applications. Phase Angle Monitoring (PAM), anti-islanding protection and power oscillation damping applications are investigated. TSSA are created using a real-time IRIG-B signal generator and power system models are executed using a real-time simulator with commercial phasor measurement units (PMUs) coupled to them as hardware-in-the-loop. Because PMUs utilize time synchronization signals to compute synchrophasors, an error in the PMUs’ time input introduces a proportional phase error in the voltage or current phase measurements provided by the PMU. The experiments conclude that a phase angle monitoring application will show erroneous power transfers, whereas the anti-islanding protection mal-operates and the damping controller introduces negative damping in the system as a result of the time synchronization error incurred in the PMUs due to TSSA. The proposed test-bench and TSSA approach can be used to investigate the impact of TSSA on any WAMPAC application and to determine the time synchronization error threshold that can be tolerated by these WAMPAC applications.

This tutorial will follow the seminar introducing OpenIPSL.org and give you hands-on-experience on using the library using the OpenModelica modeling and simulation environment.
It is assumed that you have very little experience with OpenModelica and the Modelica language, so detailed instructions are provided.
You will need to bring your computer with OpenModelica installed, see the following link for a .pdf information on installation: https://goo.gl/oLAFv4
You will be working with three examples. In the first example, you will work setting up a power system from scratch and performing simulations using OpenModelica and the OpenIPSL. The second example consists on performing linear analysis using OMNotebook, and implementing a power system stabilizer for the model of example one. Finally, in the third example, you will perform simulations of a typical IEEE 9-Bus power systems and perform a simple analysis of results.

Power electronics-based devices (e.g., flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) and voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC links) installations continues increasing worldwide. Their real-time performance during dynamic responses that need to be monitored
A large potential to develop suitable SE algorithms and models to monitor their dynamical behavior. However, most of the so-called dynamic SEs or forecasting-aided SEs are computationally demanding
We focus on a pseudo-dynamic PMU-only SE that is capable of addressing system dynamics with low computational demands. And this SE uses WLS algorithm.
WLS SEs use weights to take into account inaccuracies in measurements and modeling
This work focuses on how to quantify measurement weights for PMU-only SEs, mainly for the AC network measurements

The model is suitable for power system simulation where the power electronic circuitry can be represented using equivalent voltage and current sources to model the high fre- quency switching process. Differently from the authors previous work, this model is built using as much compo- nents as possible from the MSL (Modelica Standard Library) to represent the three-phase electrical circuit, while implementing the de facto control system models used within typical power system simulation tools. To show the applicability of Modelica for modeling a VSC-HVDC, a software-to-software validation is performed using the EMTP-RV power system simulator.
Impact of GPS Signal Loss and Spoofing on Power System Synchrophasor Applicat...Luigi Vanfretti
This presentation shows an experimental assessesment of the impact of time synchronization spoofing attacks (TSSA) on synchrophasor-based Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection and Control applications. Phase Angle Monitoring (PAM), anti-islanding protection and power oscillation damping applications are investigated. TSSA are created using a real-time IRIG-B signal generator and power system models are executed using a real-time simulator with commercial phasor measurement units (PMUs) coupled to them as hardware-in-the-loop. Because PMUs utilize time synchronization signals to compute synchrophasors, an error in the PMUs’ time input introduces a proportional phase error in the voltage or current phase measurements provided by the PMU. The experiments conclude that a phase angle monitoring application will show erroneous power transfers, whereas the anti-islanding protection mal-operates and the damping controller introduces negative damping in the system as a result of the time synchronization error incurred in the PMUs due to TSSA.
The proposed test-bench and TSSA approach can be used to investigate the impact of TSSA on any WAMPAC application and to determine the time synchronization error threshold that can be tolerated by these WAMPAC applications.
Synchrophasor Applications Facilitating Interactions between Transmission and...Luigi Vanfretti
Distribution grid dynamics will become increasingly complex due to the transition from passive to active networks arising from the increase of renewable energy sources at medium and voltage level. A successful transition requires to increase the observability and awareness of the interactions between Transmission and Distribution (T&D) grids, particularly to guarantee adequate operational security.
This presentation explores how different technical means can facilitate interactions between TSOs and DSOs with the utilization of GPS-time-synchronized phasor measurements (aka Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)) with millisecond resolution. If made available in actual T&D networks, such high-sampled data across operational boundaries allows an opportunity to extract information related to different time-scales.
As part of the work carried out in the EU-funded FP7 IDE4L project (http://ide4l.eu/), a specific use case, containing PMU-based monitoring functions, has been defined to support the architecture design of future distribution grid automation systems. As a result, the architecture can accommodate for key dynamic information extraction and exchange between DSO and TSO.
This presentation presents the use case and focuses on the technical aspects related to the development and implementation of the PMU-based monitoring functionalities that can provide means to facilitate technical co-operation between transmission and distribution operations.
Optimal Multisine Probing Signal Design for Power System Electromechanical Mo...Luigi Vanfretti
This talk presents a methodology for the design of a probing signal used for power system electromechanical mode estimation. Firstly, it is shown that probing mode estimation accuracy depends solely on the probing signal’s power spectrum and not on a specific time-domain realization. A relationship between the probing power spectrum and the accuracy of the mode estimation is used to determine a multisine probing signal by solving an optimization problem. The objective function is defined as a weighting sum of the probing signal variance and the level of the system disturbance caused by the probing. A desired level of the mode estimation accuracy is set as a constraint. The proposed methodology is demonstrated through simulations using the KTH Nordic 32 power system model.
Real-Time Simulation for MBSE of Synchrophasor SystemsLuigi Vanfretti
This talk starts by exploring how electrical power systems are increasingly becoming digitalized, leading to their transformation into a class of cyber-physical systems (a system of systems) where the electrical grid merges with ubiquitous information and communication technologies (ICT).
This type of complex systems present unprecedented challenges in their operation and control, and due to unknown interactions with ICT, require new concepts, methods and tools to facilitate their operational design, manufacturing (of components), and testing/verification/validation of their performance.
Inspired by the tremendous advantages of the model-based system engineering (MBSE) framework developed by the aerospace and military communities, this talk will highlight the challenges to adopt MBSE for electrical power grids. MBSE is not only a framework to deal with all the phases of putting in place complex systems-of-systems, but also provides a foundation for the democratization of technology - both software and hardware.
The talk will illustrate the foundations that have been built by the presenter's research over the last 7 years, placed within the context of MBSE, with focus on areas of power engineering. Some of these foundations and contributions include the OpenIPSL, RaPId, SD3K, BableFish and Khorjin open source software developed and distributed online by the research group, and available at: https://github.com/ALSETLab

Abstract [en]
Real-time monitoring of electromechanical oscillations is of great significance for power system operators; to this aim, software solutions (algorithms) that use synchrophasor measurements have been developed for this purpose. This thesis investigates different approaches for improving mode estimation process by offering new methods and deepening the understanding of different stages in the mode estimation process.
One of the problems tackled in this thesis is the selection of synchrophasor signals used as the input for mode estimation. The proposed selection is performed using a quantitative criterion that is based on the variance of the critical mode estimate. The proposed criterion and associated selection method, offer a systematic and quantitative approach for PMU signal selection. The thesis also analyzes methods for model order selection used in mode estimation. Further, negative effects of forced oscillations and non-white noise load random changes on mode estimation results have been addressed by exploiting the intrinsic power system property that the characteristics of electromechanical modes are predominately determined by the power generation and transmission network.
An improved accuracy of the mode estimation process can be obtained by intentionally injecting a probing disturbance. The thesis presents an optimization method that finds the optimal spectrum of the probing signals. In addition, the probing signal with the optimal spectrum is generated considering arbitrary time domain signal constraints that can be imposed by various probing signal generating devices.
Finally, the thesis provides a comprehensive description of a practical implementation of a real-time mode estimation tool. This includes description of the hardware, software architecture, graphical user interface, as well as details of the most important components such as the Statnett’s SDK that allows easy access to synchrophasor data streams.

Binding CIM and Modelica for Consistent Power System Dynamic Model Exchange a...Luigi Vanfretti
Poster Presentation at the IEEE PES General Meeting.
The Common Information Model (CIM) is considered the most prominent data model for power systems information exchange between Transmission System Operators (TSO), facilitating coordination of TSO for steady-state operation. However, information exchange should also consider power systems dynamic models required to perform dynamic simulations so to coordinate TSOs operations under emergency conditions. This work describes the design and implementation of a mapping between CIM and Modelica. The Modelica models provide a strict mathematical representation of power system dynamic models using a standardized modeling language. The proposed solution combines both modeling languages, thus providing a CIM-compliant unambiguous power system model exchange and simulation solution considering both steady-state and dynamic models.
Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing of an Excitation Control System for Os...Luigi Vanfretti
Poster Presentation at the IEEE PES General Meeting.
A feature of an Excitation Control System (ECS) for synchronous generators is to enable power system stabilization by providing an additional input to the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for external stabilization signals. This paper explores this feature by externally generating stabilization signals which are fed as an analog input to a commercial ECS. This allows bypassing the built-in PSS function in the ECS and gives more freedom to the end-user to utilize custom stabilizer models. ABB’s Unitrol 1020 Excitation Control System is coupled with Opal-RT’s eMEGAsim Real-Time simulator to perform Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation of the ECS. The output of several stabilizer models is fed to the ABB’s Unitrol 1020 ECS as external power system stabilization signals to analyze their performance for small signal stability enhancement.
PMU-Based Real-Time Damping Control System Software and Hardware Architecture...Luigi Vanfretti
Poster Presentation at the IEEE PES General Meeting. Low-frequency, electromechanically induced, inter- area oscillations are of concern in the continued stability of inter- connected power systems. Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC) systems based on wide-area measurements such as synchrophasor (C37.118) data can be exploited to address the inter-area oscillation problem. This work develops a hardware prototype of a synchrophasor-based oscillation damping control system. A Compact Reconfigurable Input Output (cRIO) con- troller from National Instruments is used to implement the real- time prototype. This paper presents the design process followed for the development of the software architecture. The design method followed a three step process of design proposal, design refinement and finally attempted implementation. The goals of the design, the challenges faced and the refinements necessary are presented. The design implemented is tested and validated on OPAL-RT’s eMEGASIM real-time simulation platform and a brief discussion of the experimental results is included.
Poster Presentation at the IEEE PES General Meeting.
This paper presents a PMU-based state estimation algorithm that considers the presence of voltage source converter- based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) links. The network model of a VSC-HVDC link with its control modes is developed and then combined with an AC model to accomplish a hybrid AC/DC network model. The measurement model in this algorithm considers the properties of PMU measurements, thus separating the network model with measurements. Additionally, DC link measurements are assumed to be sampled synchronously, time-stamped and reported at the same rate as PMU measure- ments. Then, by applying the nonlinear weighted least squares (WLS) algorithm, a PMU-based state estimator can solve for both AC and DC states simultaneously. To validate the algorithm, a simulation study for a 6-bus hybrid AC/DC test system is shown in this paper.
Towards Consistent Model Exchange and Simulation of VSC-HVDC Controls for EMT...Luigi Vanfretti
Poster Presentation at the IEEE PES General Meeting.
Design of voltage source converters (VSC) for high- voltage direct current (HVdc) systems requires extensive simula- tion tools that are accurate and reliable. Before the installation of VSC-HVdc links, different simulation-based studies need to be performed by different parties and using different electromag- netic transient (EMT) simulation platforms. Previous work shows that even with a pedantic re-implementation of the models from the ground up, simulation results are still inconsistent between different EMT tools.This paper demonstrates a methodology, which provides a higher consistency between the simulation tools Simulink and PSCAD. This methodology is complex and exposes several limitations. Hence, the is a need for the adoption of a standardized equation-based modeling language for EMT model exchange.
Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Status
Quo:
Multiple
simulation
tools,
with
their
own
interpretation
of
different
model
features
and
data
“format”.
Implications
of
the
Status
Quo:
-‐ Dynamic
models
can
rarely
be
shared
in
a
straightforward
manner
without
loss
of
information
on
power
system
dynamics
(parameter
not
equal
to
equations,
block
diagrams
not
equal
to
equations)!
-‐ Simulations
are
inconsistent
without
drastic
and
specialized
human
intervention.
Beyond
general
descriptions
and
parameter
values,
a
common
and
unified
modeling
language
would
require
a
formal
mathematical
description
of
the
models
– but
this
is
not
the
practice
to
date.
These
are
key
drawbacks
of
today’s
tools
for
tackling
pan-‐European
problems.
19. Power
System
Modeling
limitations,
inconsistency
and
consequences
• Causal
Modeling:
– Most
components
are
defined
using
causal
block
diagram
definitions.
– User
defined
modeling
by
scripting
or
GUIs
is
sometimes
available
(casual)
• Model
sharing:
– Parameters
for
black-‐box
definitions
are
shared
in
a
specific
“data
format”
– For
large
systems,
this
requires
“filters”
for
translation
into
the
internal
data
format
of
each
program
• Modeling
inconsistency:
– For
(standardized
casual) models
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
model
definition
is
implemented
“exactly”
in
the
same
way
in
different
SW
– This
is
even
the
case
with
CIM
(Common
Information
Model)
dynamics,
where
no
formal
equations
are
defined,
instead
a
block
diagram
definition
is
provided.
– User
defined
models
and
proprietary
models
can’t
be
represented
without
complete
re-‐implementation
in
each
platform
• Modeling
limitations:
– Most
SWs
make
no
difference
between
“model”
and
“solver”,
and
in
many
cases
the
model
is
somehow
implanted within
the
solver
(inline
integration,
eg.
Euler
or
trapezoidal
solution
in
transient
stability
simulation)
• Consequence:
– It
is
almost
impossible
to
have
the
same
model
in
different
simulation
platforms.
– This
requires
usually
to
re-‐implement
the
whole
model
from
scratch
(or
parts
of
it)
or
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
“re-‐
tuning”
parameters.
This
is
very
costly!
An
equation
based
modeling
language
can
help
in
avoiding
all
of
these
issues!

36. Why
“Model
Validation”?
• iTesla
tools
aim
to
perform
“security
assessment”
• The
quality
of
the
models
used
by
off-‐line
and
on-‐line
tools
will
affect
the
result
of
any
SA
computations
– Good
model:
approximates
the
simulated
response
as
“close”
to
the
“measured
response”
as
possible
• Validating
models
helps
in
having
a
model
with
“good
sanity”
and
“reasonable
accuracy”:
– Increasing
the
capability
of
reproducing
actual
power
system
behavior
(better
predictions)

with

&
Optimization:
FMI
and

• FMI
stands
for
flexible
mock-‐up
interface:
– FMI
is
a
tool
independent
standard to
support
both
model
exchange
and
co-‐simulation
of
dynamic
models
using
a
combination
of
xml-‐files
and
C-‐code,
originating
from
the
automotive
industry
• FMU
stands
for
flexible
mock-‐up
unit
– An
FMU
is
a
model
which
has
been
compiled
using
the
FMI
standard
definition
• What
are
FMUs
used
for?
– Model
Exchange
• Generate
C-‐Code
of
a
model
as
an
input/output
block
that
can
be
utilized
by
other
modeling
and
simulation
environments
– FMUs
of
a
complete
model
can
be
generated
in
one
environment
and
then
shared
to
another
environment.
• The
key
idea
to
understand
here
is
that
the
model
is
not
locked
into
a
specific
simulation
environment!
• We
use
FMI

to
build

The
RaPId Mock-‐Up
Software
Implementation
• RaPId is our proof of concept
implementation (prototype) of a software
tool for model estimation and validation.
The tool provides a framework for model
identification/validation, mainly
parameter identification.
• RaPId is based on Modelica and FMI –
applicable to other systems, not only
power systems!
• A Modelica model is fed through an
Flexible Mock-‐Unit (i.e. FMU) to Simulink.
• The model is simulated and its outputs are
compared against measurements.
• RaPId tunes the parameters of the model
while minimizing a fitness criterion
between the outputs of the simulation
and the experimental measurements of
the same outputs provided by the user.
• RaPId was
developed
in
MATLAB.
– The
MATLAB
code
acts
as
wrapper to
provide
interaction
with
several
other
programs
(which
may
not
need
to
be
coded
in
MATLAB).
• Advanced
users
can
simply
use
MATLAB
scripts
instead
of
the
graphical
interface.
• Plug-‐in
Architecture:
– Completely
extensible
and

• Optimization

• Specific

47. Conclusions
and
Looking
Forward
• Modeling
power
system
components
with
Modelica
(as
compared
with
domain
specific
tools)
is
very
attractive:
– Formal
mathematical
description
of
the
model
(equations)
– Allows
model
exchange
between
Modelica
tools,
with
consistent
(unambiguous)
simulation
results
• The
FMI
Standard
allows
to
take
advantage
of
Modelica
models
for:
– Using
Modelica
models
in
different
simulation
environments
– Coupling
general
purpose
tools
to
the
model/simulation
(case
of
RaPId)
• There
are
several
challenges
for
modeling
and
validated
“large
scale”
power
systems
using
Modelica-‐based
tools:
– A
well
populated
library
of
typical
components
(and
for
different
time-‐scales)
– Support/linkage
with
industry
specific
data
exchange
paradigm
(Common
Information
Model
-‐ CIM)
• Developing
a
Modelica-‐driven
model
validation
for
large
scale
power
systems
is
more
complex
challenge
than
the
case
of
RaPId.
• We
have
released
RaPId as
a
Free
and
Open
Source
Software,
and
the
iTesla Power
Systems
Modelica library
will
be
released
shortly.
