Critical time windows for renewable resource complementarity assessment

Wind resource assessment for urban renewable energy application in Singapore

In highly urbanized and energy intensive countries like Singapore all possible avenues for power generation need attention. In this context, rooftop installations of both solar and wind energy are of particular interest for Singapore, especially because of Singapore's condition of land limitation. Decentralized and distributed energy sources such as rooftop wind and solar installations have num...

A critical assessment of renewable energy usage in the USA

The displacement of non-renewable fossil fuels by renewable energy resources has occurred at a low rate in the USA. But a large number of drivers is expected to cause significant expansion of the US renewable energy industry in the near future. Included among the extrinsic drivers, or those that are not directly related to renewable energy resources, are reductions in natural gas and crude oil ...

On the complementarity of short-time fourier analysis windows of different lengths for improved language recognition

Previous works have shown that remarkable performance improvements can be attained in speaker and language recognition tasks by combining several heterogeneous systems that provide complementary information. In this work, the complementarity of several i-vector language recognition systems, using Mel-Frequency Cepstral-Coefficient (MFCC) features computed on ShortTime Fourier Analysis windows o...

Time Delayed Dynamic Model of Renewable Resource and Population

This paper reconsiders a "Ricardo-Malthus" dynamic model of population and renewable resource developed by Brander and Taylor [1998]. To this end, it sheds light on a delay in production, a key feature of long-run evolution in a pre-industrial economic society. It is clear that the delay has a considerable effect on long-run dynamics of natural resource and population This notwithstanding, many...
