The aim of this study is to explore different practices for accelerating the integration of generating facilities to the electricity network using smart solutions. Case studies from Great Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland and the Unites States were selected. The paper assesses and compares the different Principles of Access (POA) that have been imp...

We are on the verge of a post-PC revolution where computing power is shifting from laptops and desktops to smartphones, tablets and everyday objects such as eyeglasses and coffee machines. Those computing objects come equipped with a myriad of context sensors such as an accelerometer, a proximity sensor, a gyroscope, a GPS receiver and NFC technology. Context sensors enable the development of c...

objective(s): htlv-i and hiv virus quantification is an important marker for assessment of virus activities. since there is a direct relationship between the number of virus and disease progression, htlv- i and hiv co-infection might have an influence on the development of viral associated diseases, thus, viral replication of these viruses and co-infection were evaluated.   materials and method...

in this paper, power system restoration in the presence of svc and tcsc in partial outage conditions is considered and a new method for maximum load restoration using different control variables is presented. control variables are tap of transformers, generation rescheduling and operating points of facts devices. objective function is restored load (to be maximized) and constraints are voltage ...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of energy communities. This new definition refers to community sharing resources different types meet its needs and reduce associated costs. Optimization is one most widely used techniques for scheduling operation an community. this study, we extensively reviewed mathematical models depending on objectives constraints considered. T...

Perceptually-Adaptive Collision Detection for Real-time Computer Animation Carol O'Sullivan Supervisor: Dr. Steven Collins The aim of interactive animation systems is to create an exciting and real experience for viewers, to give them a feeling of immersion, of “being there". The tendency in the past has been to attempt to achieve this by matching as closely as possible the physics of the real ...

Evaluation of the reliability parameters in micro-grids based on renewable energy sources is one of the main problems that are investigated in this paper. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, battery as an energy storage system and fuel cell as a backup system are used to provide power to the electrical loads of the micro-grid. Loads in the micro-grid consist of interruptible...

background: the traditional cyclone has been developed for the removal of airborne silica particles from local exhaust ventilation (lev). the objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of velocity and particles load on efficiency of cyclone in the stone crushing units at azendarian area. methods: after the designing and installing the traditional cyclone, downstream and upstream sam...

In this paper, three solutions for scheduling problem of the Single-Load and Multi-Load Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in Container Terminals are proposed. The problem is formulated as Constraint Satisfaction and Optimization. When capacity of the vehicles is one container, the problem is a minimum cost flow model. This model is solved by the highest performance Algorithm, i.e. Network Simple...

Although approximate computing promises better performance for applications allowing marginal errors, dearth of hardware support and lack run-time accuracy guarantees makes it difficult to adopt. We present As-Is, an Anytime Speculative Interruptible System that takes program executes with time-proportional approximations. That is, version the output is generated early gradually refined over ti...
