This article aims at comparing two controls to follow the maximum power point, making use of DC-DC converters for PV uses. All transformers operate continuously. To fulfil maximum power, we will exploit two MPPT controls: a traditional perturb – observe ‘P&O’ and a smart one – the fuzzy logic ‘FL’. The goal of this article…

With the rising number of web services created to build complex business processes, selecting the appropriate web service from a large number of web services respond to the same client request with the same functionality are developed independently but with different quality of service (QoS) attributes. From this point, there are many approaches to web…

In grid connected wind turbine (WT) systems, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach has a crucial role in optimizing the wind energy efficiency. To search for the maximum power value of the wind turbine, this contribution proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking System (MPPT) for wind turbine related to a permanent magnet synchronous…

The Anopheles gambiae’s CYP6Z3 protein belongs to the Cytochrome P450 family and functions in oxidation-reduction processes, many studies including our previous work on elucidating insecticide resistance genes of the Anopheles also implicated her in pyrethroid insecticide resistance. Model prediction, functional analysis, and enrichment of the target gene with triplex binding sites may become a useful…

A significant problem of routing protocols in the Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET) is a significant overhead cost due to the high mobility of networking nodes. The problem is caused by a need to send information messages about locations of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In order to reduce the amount of service information, the following…

Industry 4.0 implementation stipulates effective actuator control. In the present work, a complex order PIa+jb Dc+jd (COPID) controller was designed for a fractional order model of a direct current (DC) motor system. For comparisons, the DC motor system model was also controlled using the conventional proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID), proportional resonant (PR) and fractional…

The article suggests four circuit topologies for the practical simulation of grounded and floating lossy inductors. All the suggested circuits use commercially available integrated circuit LT1228 chips as active elements, and only two passive elements, namely one resistor and one capacitor. The first two of the proposed circuits employ only a single LT1228 active element…

South Africa is aiming to achieve a generation capacity of about 11.4GW through wind energy systems, which will contribute nearly 15.1% of the country’s energy mix by 2030. Wind energy is one of the principal renewable energy determinations by the South African government, owing to affluent heavy winds in vast and remote coastal areas. In…

Compared to other types of autonomous vehicles, the single-seat is the simplest when designing, since its compact design makes it an option that can simplify different mechanical aspects and enhance those of greater importance such as the steering and the braking system. Likewise, the electronic and electrical design may be a great improvement on the…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…

Biodiesel was produced from lard using a CaO catalyst derived from eggshells. The effects of catalyst loading and transesterification reaction time were investigated. The results revealed that the increase in yield of biodiesel occurred at all catalyst loading when the reaction time was increased. The optimal reaction time was obtained at 60 minutes. The results…
