ArabicTutor: a Multimedia m-Learning Platform for Learning Arabic Spelling and Vocabulary
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Internet-enabled Mobile devices are increasingly used for enhancing the learning experience particularly for language learning. They can be exploited to allow learners to access and interact with multimedia learning resources ...
Review of existing transportation sustainability initiatives and their applicability to Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Sustainable development is Qatar's main national goal. The fact that Qatar has secured the World Cup bid for 2022 will make it the first Arab country to host the world cup. This honor and Qatar's plan to advance its ...
Developing a framework for pre-design process simulation for green buildings
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
There is an increasing awareness towards the construction of sustainable green buildings. Green rating systems worldwide, such as LEED, are providing standards to aid in the construction of green building. During the ...
A design example of an 8-pole radial AMB for flywheel energy storage
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
High speed flywheel energy storage systems normally use magnetic bearings to reduce friction loss. Bearing load consists of radial forces with or without axial forces according to drive configuration and requirements. The ...
On the development of flywheel storage systems for power system applications: A survey
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Energy storage systems cannot be considered energy sources but having the ability of storing and discharging energy. They have a vital rule in the reliability and power quality of power systems. There are several energy ...
A wind turbine architecture employing a new three port magnetic gear box
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generator based wind turbines to convert the turbine's low speed mechanical power into high-speed mechanical power to drive the electrical generator. ...
Elimination of reverse recovery effects associated with CoolMOS devices employing current source inverter topology
(
IET
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
MOSFET transistors are continuously being an essential part of power electronic converters due to their low switching losses at high switching frequencies. However, the traditional power MOSFET suffers from a relatively ...
Fault ride-through capability enhancement based on flywheel energy storage system for wind farms connected via VSC high voltage DC transmission
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a recovery strategy for wind energy-fed voltage source converter high voltage DC transmission systems, capable of maintaining power balance between the AC and DC sides during different AC faults. This ...
Active and reactive power management of photovoltaic-based interline dynamic voltage restorer in low voltage distribution networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
A dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a series connected device that can support the voltage at existing critical loads during voltage sags. Voltage restoration may need active and/or reactive power injection into the ...
Simplified generic on-line PWM technique for single phase grid connected current source inverters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mandatory restrictions for a current source inverter's (CSI's) proper operation, like continuity of the DC link current, complicate the corresponding PWM generation especially in the case of single phase systems. Classical ...
