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 ...
Non-standard characteristic of overcurrent relay for minimum operating time and maximum protection level
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Industrial overcurrent relays such as MiCOM P123 (overcurrent and earth fault protection relay) often offer three individual options for separate settings. These settings can be separately tuned and such ability can be ...
Optimal adaptive control of drug dosing using integral reinforcement learning
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, a reinforcement learning (RL)-based optimal adaptive control approach is proposed for the continuous infusion of a sedative drug to maintain a required level of sedation. To illustrate the proposed method, ...
Efficient software platform TFSAP 7.1 and Matlab package to compute Time?Frequency Distributions and related Time-Scale methods with extraction of signal characteristics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This article describes the source code used in the TFSAP toolbox (Boashash, 2016). It is extended with additional functions to allow reproducible research as presented in Boashash and Ouelha (in press). These codes can be ...
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 ...
Evaluation of a novel greenhouse design for reduced cooling loads during the hot season in subtropical regions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Greenhouses provide an optimized growth environment for plants. However, providing this environment is energy intensive. In subtropical regions, most of this energy is to cater for the required cooling. The cooling demand ...
