Abstract: The method for creating an optical fiber ribbon of the present disclosure includes a first step of arranging a plurality of optical fibers in parallel to each other for creating the optical fiber ribbon. In addition, the method includes a second step of intermittently bonding the plurality of optical fibers partially at specific intervals using a matrix material. Further, intermittent bonding of the plurality of optical fibers is in pattern of text. Furthermore, intermittent bonding of the plurality of optical fibers allows the optical fiber ribbon to bend along preferential axis. Moreover, intermittent bonding of the plurality of optical fibers is in pattern of text.

Abstract: An apparatus optimizes a hybrid power system with respect to long-term characteristics of the hybrid power system. The apparatus includes a real-time controller of the hybrid power system and a processor. The processor cooperates with the real-time controller and is structured to input current measurements of information from the hybrid power system and hybrid dynamics information including continuous dynamics and discrete time dynamics that model the hybrid power system. The processor provides online optimization of the hybrid power system based upon the input, and outputs a power flow reference and a number of switch controls to the real-time controller based upon the online optimization. The processor is further structured to provide at least one of: real-time forecasts or real-time prediction of future information operatively associated with the hybrid power system as part of the input, and real-time processing of the online optimization.
