EXTENDED SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS FOR EXACT RELAXATION OF THE COMPLEMENTARITY CONSTRAINTS IN STORAGE-CONCERNED ECONOMIC DISPATCH

Extended sufficient conditions for exact relaxation of the complementarity constraints in storage-concerned economic dispatch

Storage is widely considered in economic dispatch (ED) problems.To prevent simultaneous charging and discharging of a storage device, a storage-concerned ED problem should involve complementarity constraints for every storage device to make the problem strongly non-convex.In this case, the conventional Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions are u

Assessment of soil-structure interaction on a 51-story building from the spectral ratio of earthquake recordings

The soil-structure interaction (SSI) can significantly alter the characteristics of recorded motions in buildings.The ratio of Fourier amplitude spectrum of the top-story accelerations to that of the foundation accelerations permits the identification of the natural frequency of the fixed-base building.In this study, records of the Chi-Chi earthqua
