- The estimation of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) potential is crucial for policymaking around sustainable energy plans. But it is difficult to accurately estimate the availability of rooftop area for solar radiation on a city-scale. In this study, a generic framework for estimating the rooftop solar PV potential on a city-scale using publicly available high-resolution satellite images is proposed. A deep learning-based method is developed to extract the rooftop area with image semantic segmentation automatically. A spatial optimization sampling strategy is developed to solve the labor-intensive problem when training the rooftop extraction model based on prior knowledge of urban and rural spatial layout and land use. In the case study of Nanjing, China, the labor cost on preparing the dataset for training the rooftop extraction model has been reduced by about 80% with the proposed spatial optimization sampling strategy. Meanwhile, the robustness of the rooftop extraction model in districts with different architectural styles and land use has been improved. The total rooftop area extracted was 330.36 km(2), and the overall accuracy reached 0.92. The estimation results show that Nanjing has significant potential for rooftop-mounted PV installations, and the potential installed capacity reached 66 GW. The annual rooftop solar PV potential was approximately 311,853 GWh, with a corresponding estimated power generation of 49,897 GWh in 2019.

- In this study, we present fuzzy adaptive control based on residual nonlinearity approximation in the presence of protection constraints for the target trajectory tracking problem observed in automatic train operation. Herein, protection constraints refer to a condition wherein the speed and position of a controlled train are not allowed to surpass the boundaries imposed by automatic train protection and moving authority. By defining proper coordinate transformation, the protection constraints are converted to an error-prescribed performance control problem that facilitates operational efficiency by reducing the margin with respect to target trajectories. Based on the prescribed performance control methodology, we present an improved scheme using fuzzy residual nonlinearity approximation and establish the uniformly ultimately boundedness (UUB) property. A novel feature therein is that the ultimate boundary of the proposed scheme is simultaneously characterized by the prescribed performance functions and control parameters, with rigorous and analytically mathematical expressions; while pioneering the prescribed performance control methodology, the ultimate boundary is characterized solely by the prescribed performance functions. To verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed scheme, the controllers are applied to the automatic train operation on the Beijing Yizhuang line, which contains 13 operational intervals. Finally, comparative and simulation results are presented to validate the proposed method.
