Efficient datacenter resource utilization through cloud resource overcommitment
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
We propose an efficient resource allocation framework for overcommitted clouds that makes great energy savings by 1) minimizing PM overloads via resource usage prediction, and 2) reducing the number of active PMs via ...
Application of distance relay for distribution system monitoring
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The traditional distribution network is primarily composed of radial feeders, designed for unidirectional power flow. Therefore, many operation regulation, protection and control system, in distribution network, are based ...
Discontinuous space vector pulse width modulation techniques for a five-phase quasi Z-source inverter
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, discontinuous space vector pulse width modulation for a five-phase quasi Z-source inverter is presented. Two schemes are introduced for the continuous SVM of five-phase qZSI (SVQ1 & SVQ2) and two schemes of ...
Geometrical approach for wind farm symmetrical layout design optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Wind farm layout orientation plays an important factor to reduce the total wake loss and hence increase the capacity factor of the wind farm. Different wind farms layout design optimization techniques are widely used and ...
Simple voltage regulation method for smart grid applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The complexity of power systems and the change of demand load at the consumer make it necessary to control the voltage to avoid any unnecessary voltage drop beyond the limits allowed within the international standards and ...
Marine collection in Qatar - basis for biodiversity management
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Biological Collections, which deal directly with identifying and documenting biodiversity, have a major role in assisting biodiversity management. They form the basis for research, documenting flora and fauna and creating ...
Geochemical composition of dust from Qatar peninsula
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Atmospheric dust samples have been collected from different areas in Qatar and analyzed for major and trace element composition. This region of the Arabian Gulf represents an area largely affected by dust from natural and ...
The status of harmful algae in the Arabian Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In the ocean, microscopic plankton algae constitute a crucial food supply for filter- feeding bivalves, shellfish (oyster, mussels, scallop and clams), as well as larvae of commercially important crustaceans and finfish. ...
Neighbourhood Sustainable assessment tools analytical overview
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Worldwide recession, rapid increase in energy cost, inefficient use of nonrenewable resources, global climatic changes and pollution are all indicators of a deteriorating built environment. Improving the living conditions ...
Environmental contamination in mangrove crustaceans inhabiting Qatari waters
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The increasing level of pollutants in the marine environment is a major concern in all countries, in particular where the main diet is seafood. The major goal of this project was to assess the level of pollution and their ...
