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 ...
CO2 greenhouse emissions in Oman over the last forty-two years: Review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article Review)
In the Sultanate of Oman, oil and natural gas related activities have the most important shares of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) and are also the primary cause of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the ...

A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ...
Performance evaluation of gas-power strategies for building energy conservation
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The work provided herein involves a comparison of natural gas and hydrogen fuels for the purpose of energy conservation for buildings via alternative energy generation methodologies. A case study simulation was developed ...
Risk based life cycle assessment conceptual framework for energy supply systems in large buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes an environmental assessment framework that integrates the conventional life cycle assessment (LCA) with risk assessment for the purpose of evaluating energy conservation systems in buildings from ...
Supercooling elimination of phase change materials (PCMs) microcapsules
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Microencapsulated phase change materials (PCM) must not experience any supercooling, otherwise cannot be used in any latent heat applications. In this study Rubitherm®RT58 and1-octadecanol were selected as nucleating agents ...
Unravel the impact of anchoring groups on the photovoltaic performances of diketopyrrolopyrrole sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two D-?-A dyes, one with a strong electron withdrawing cyanoacrylic acid DPP 20 and one with a weak acceptor carboxylic acid DPP 21 have been synthesized and characterized for their application in dye-sensitized solar ...
Emulsion stability and cross-linking of PMMA microcapsules containing phase change materials
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The microencapsulation of paraffin as a phase change material (PCM) using poly methyl methacrylate (PMM) as a shell was investigated by means of suspension polymerization. The increase in the emulsion stability by using ...
