Higher efficiency and lower losses are widely considered as the best metrics to optimize, in a high-power converter performance context. To provide a solution to the ever-increase of high switching frequencies challenges, we must explore soft-switching technologies to resolve interface issues and reduce the switching losses. This manuscript describes a comparative analysis between the fixed-bandwidth…

The Coriolis force in the ocean at mid to high latitudes can cause significant deviation of flow over bottom topography, including formation of Taylor columns. Structures in a tidal zone will experience zero inertial current between every tidal change. Around periods of directional change, the Coriolis force may be tapped into for energy. Factors like…

This research aims to investigate the energy and power management of a battery-supercapacitors Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for Electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional DC-DC converter, a battery and a set of supercapacitors were employed to construct the parallel semi-active architecture of HESS. Two strategies of Rule-Base Linear Quadratic Regulators (R-B LQRs) were proposed to…

The world is witnessing unprecedented advancements in ICT (Information & Communication Technology) related fields. These advancements are further boosted with the emergence of big data. It goes without saying that big data requires two major operations: storage and processing. The latter is usually provided through High-Performance Computing (HPC) which is delivered through two main venues:…

Advances in channel modeling allow wireless communication designers to accurately model and understand the channel’s phenomena within different propagation scenarios. A precise channel model results in the wireless system’s optimized performance while considering trade-offs due to the effects of the channel. The geometric-based stochastic channel model considers different interacting objects affecting the parameters using the…

Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…
