In order to foster electric vehicle (EV) adoption rates, the availability of a pervasive and efficient charging network is crucial requirement. this paper, we provide decision support tool for helping policymakers locate size EV stations. We consider multi-year planning horizon, taking into account different technologies time periods (day night). Accounting these features, propose an optimizati...

Energy can be stored in quantum batteries by electromagnetic fields as chargers. In this paper, the performance of a battery with single and double chargers is studied. It shown that using two independent charging fields, prepared coherent states, power significantly improved, though average number embedded photons are kept same both scenarios. Then results reveal for case initially correlated ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) contain two main power electronics systems, namely, the traction system and battery charging system, which are not used simultaneously since occurs when EV is travelling parked. By taking advantage of this interchangeability, a single set converters that can perform functions both be assembled, classified in literature as integrated chargers (IBCs). Several IBC topologie...

Photovoltaic emulators (PVE) are power electronic systems able to reproduce the output "CurrentVoltage" characteristics of photovoltaic panels in various operating conditions. They are indispensable for the design and evaluation of the operational components of a photovoltaic energy system, such as battery chargers and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Those emulators prevent the experimenta...

However, problems such as osteoporosis due to high elasticity of metals relative to bones, and local infections and systemic problems caused by releasing metallic ions have motivated research on replacing metallic screws with non metallic ones. In this study, the composite containing poly-l-lactic acid and bioactive glass fibers were considered for the design of the screw using ABAQUS software ...

This article is the first part of a review of investigations carried out until about 1990 into the role of mechanical ventilation in reducing wound sepsis in hospitals. It deals with the design of mechanical ventilation systems to reduce airborne microbe-carrying particles (MCPs), and mainly discusses unidirectional airflow (UDAF) systems. The second part will deal with the effect of mechanical...

This paper describes an ontology model (conceptual model) based on the ITU-T Recommendation G.805 for transport network architectures. The goal is to take a step forward to the autonomic applications for transport network operation and management. Besides the conceptual model description and explanation, including its main elements (classes, properties and constraints), this paper also includes...

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...

this paper investigates the relationship between total energy consumption and gdp in six countries of the middle east , including iran,pakistan,saudi arabia,oman,bahrain and the united arab emirates. the data are annual and spanning the period 1980-2012.we employed hsiao’s (1981) methodology to examine causality relation between total energy consumption and gdp.the empirical findings show a uni...
