Series-Connected Multi-Half-Bridge Modules Active Front-End Rectifier for Medium Voltage Variable Speed Drives
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Medium-Voltage Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) are the backbone of several critical industries. Providing the proper dc-link voltage to support the VSD's converter is crucial. Conventionally, dc-link voltage is supplied either ...
Assessment of carbon bio-fixation by mixed indigenous microalgae
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study assesses the potential use of mixed Indigenous Microalgae (MIMA) for carbon capture from flue gases in a photo-bioreactor. The effect of inlet CO2 concentration on the carbon biofixation rate was investigated. ...
Classification and trends in knowledge research relevance and context for smart farm technology development
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
With the climate change paradigm, farmers are facing changes in the environment all the time like drought, higher temperature, heavy raining, and the shift of season. Smart farm is a method for helping farmers to plant ...
Evaluation of thermal history and defect in friction stir processing of as-cast magnesium AZ91
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a thermos-mechanical process for modifying the microstructural and material properties of metals. FSP also can be used for mechanical alloying and producing metal matrix composites. Due ...
Optimal PMU placement for large practical systems Qatar grid as an example
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is a measurement devices capable of providing measurements with high accuracy, but due to its high cost it is desired to find the optimal placement for them. This paper tries to address the ...
A New Approach to Robust MPC Design for LPV Systems in Input-Output Form
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a robust model predictive control (MPC) technique is introduced to control MIMO linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems subject to input-output constraints. The LPV system is represented in input-output form, ...
Approximation of Pore Space with Ellipsoids: A Comparison of a Geometrical Method with a Statistical one
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We work with tomographic images of pore space in soil. The images have large dimensions and so in order to speed-up biological simulations (as drainage or diffusion process in soil), we want to describe the pore space with ...
Attitudes of heads of education and directors of research towards the need for social robotics education in universities
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We explored the attitudes of the Heads of Education and the Directors of Research towards the need for Social Robotics Courses in Finland. The methods consisted of a cross-sectional survey (n = 21) and data was analyzed ...
Association of networked flying platforms with small cells for network centric 5G+ C-RAN
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
5G+ systems expect enhancement in data rate and coverage area under limited power constraint. Such requirements can be fulfilled by the densification of small cells (SCs). However, a major challenge is the management of ...
Thermal degradation of aqueous amine/amino acid solutions in the presence and absence of CO 2
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The stability to thermal degradation of aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and their mixtures with glycine (Gly), in the absence and the presence of CO 2 , was investigated by Gas chromatography-flame ionization ...
