Genetic-convex model for dynamic reactive power compensation in distribution networks using D-STATCOMs
(2021-04-21)
This paper proposes a new hybrid master–slave optimization approach to address the problem of the optimal placement and sizing of distribution static compensators (D-STATCOMs) in electrical distribution grids. The optimal ...
Reduction of annual operational costs in power systems through the optimal siting and sizing of STATCOMs
(2021-04-17)
The problem of the optimal siting and placement of static compensates (STATCOMs) in
power systems is addressed in this paper from an exact mathematical optimization point of view. A
mixed-integer nonlinear programming ...
Solid-state photocatalysis for plastics abatement: A review
(2022-06-17)
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic increase in plastic wastes associated with the use of single-use masks, gloves, gowns, and other personal protective equipment (PPE). The accumulation of PPE, especially single-use ...
Experimental data on the production and characterization of biochars derived from coconut-shell wastes obtained from the Colombian Pacific Coast at low temperature pyrolysis
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
Biochars are emerging eco-friendly products showing outstanding properties in areas such as carbon sequestration, soil amendment, bioremediation, biocomposites, and bioenergy. These interesting materials can be synthesized ...
Performance evaluation of structures with reinforced concrete columns retrofitted with steel jacketing
(2021-01)
Several existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings fail to conform with current seismic codes, increasing its susceptibility to damage and collapse during earthquakes. A concern for building upgrading and rehabilitation ...
The use of infrared spectroscopy and machine learning tools for detection of Meloidogyne infestations
(2020-08-01)
Plant parasitic nematodes are generally soilborne pathogens that attack plants and cause economic losses in many crops. The infested plants show nonspecific symptoms or, often, are symptomless; therefore, diagnosis is ...
Assessing and classification of academic efficiency in engineering teaching programs
(2021-03-31)
This research uses a three-phase method to evaluate and forecast the academic efficiency of
engineering programs. In the first phase, university profiles are created through cluster analysis. In
the second phase, the ...
Selection of hydrological probability distributions for extreme rainfall events in the regions of Colombia
(2020-05-14)
Frequency analysis of extreme events is used to estimate the maximum rainfall associated with different return periods and is used in planning hydraulic structures. When carrying out this type of analysis in engineering ...
Hydrological considerations for sizing of a barge discharge pipeline runway
(2021-11-01)
A key element for water supply systems is the design of the water intake components. Mobile floating platforms (barges) are helpful when the hydraulic system displays substantial variations in water levels. This study ...
