Large-scale simulations and performance evaluation of connected cars - A V2V communication perspective
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Performance evaluation is integral to the vast majority of research on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) technology enabled connected cars. To validate ideas and concepts, researchers have been continuously striving towards the ...
Single- and multi-source battery-less power management circuits for piezoelectric energy harvesting systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a battery-less power management unit for piezoelectric energy harvesting which exploits a diode-based rectifier, a storage capacitor, and a custom trigger circuit to extract energy from a piezoelectric ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
Optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems in buildings with low to high renewable energy ratio
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
We develop a simulation-based meta-heuristic approach that determines the optimal size of a hybrid renewable energy system for residential buildings. This multi-objective optimization problem requires the advancement of a ...
A hybrid optimization-simulation approach for robust weekly aircraft routing and retiming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We address the robust weekly aircraft routing and retiming problem, which requires determining weekly schedules for a heterogeneous fleet that maximizes the aircraft on-time performance, minimizes the total delay, and ...
Dynamic aggregated building electricity load modeling and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
In order to support the growing interest in demand response modeling and analysis, there is a need for physical-based building load models. This work presents a new approach for simulating electrical power flow in buildings. ...
Age replacement models: A summary with new perspectives and methods
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
Age replacement models are fundamental to maintenance theory. This paper summarizes our new perspectives and hods in age replacement models: First, we optimize the expected cost rate for a required availability level and ...
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ...
Morphological and structural properties of VoPcPhO:P3HT composite thin films
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report the formation of VOPcPhO and P3HT composite nanostructures by spin-coating technique. Novel structural and morphological properties of the composite film have been observed at a specific volumetric ...
