With the advent of Industry 4.0, indoor localization is central to many applications across multiple
domains. Although impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) enables high precision time-of-arrival
(TOA) based ranging and ...
This research work presents the tri-level optimization framework for the optimal scheduling of grid-connected and autonomous microgrids to diminish power losses and maximize loadability. Since the network's voltage profile ...
