Incentivizing alternative fuel vehicles: the influence of transport policies, attitudes and perceptions
(Springer New York LLC, 2018)
This paper aims to evaluate the influence of policies, attitudes and perceptions when incentivizing alternative fuel vehicles. The impact of possible policies such as gasoline taxes increases, purchase price subsidies, tax ...
Integration of energy storage systems in AC distribution networks: Optimal location, selecting, and operation approach based on genetic algorithms
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
This paper presents a method to find the optimal location, selection, and operation of energy storage systems (ESS- batteries-) and capacitors banks (CB) in distribution systems (DS). A mixed-integer non-linear programming ...
Machine learning models for early dengue severity prediction
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
Infection by dengue-virus is prevalent and a public health issue in tropical countries worldwide. Also, in developing nations, child populations remain at risk of adverse events following an infection by dengue virus, as ...
Ultrasound image enhancement: A review
(2012)
Medical ultrasound imaging uses pulsed acoustic waves that are transmitted and received by a hand-held transducer. This is a mature technology that it is widely used around the world. Among its advantages are that it is ...
Distributed energy resources integration in single-phase microgrids: An application of IDA-PBC and PI-PBC approaches
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
This paper presents a unified Hamiltonian formulation for controlling distributed energy resources (DERs)in ac single-phase microgrids (SP-MGs)via proportional-integral passivity-based control (PI-PBC), and interconnection ...
Organic versus conventional: A comparative study on the shelf life of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) crops
(Universiti Putra Malaysia, 2019)
Yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is one of the most appetising fruits worldwide due to its intense flavour. There have been few published studies comparing the evolution of storage quality parameters and shelf ...
A model for the simulation of the chill block melt spinning (CBMS) process using OpenFOAM®
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2020)
This work shows the results of a numerical model developed to simulate the CBMS technique for the production of the Fe78Si9B13 metallic magnetic ribbons for application in electronics. The model proposes a numerical ...
Heuristic approach for optimal location and sizing of distributed generators in AC distribution networks
(World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society, 2019)
This paper addresses, from a heuristic point of view, the problem of the optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in alternating-current distribution networks with radial topology. A master–slave ...
Current PI Control for PV Systems in DC Microgrids: A PBC Design
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019)
This paper proposes a passive PI control for applications of photovoltaic (PV) systems integrated with boost DC-DC converters. The proposed controller guarantees asymptotically stability in closed-loop for the boost DC-DC ...
Current control mode in PV systems integrated with DC-DC converters for MPPT: An IDA-PBC approach
(IEEE Computer Society, 2018)
In this paper, an interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) theory is employed to obtain maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic (PV) module. A current control mode is selected ...
