The article proposes an approach to evaluate human-computer interaction in the collective decision-making model. It is believed that all team members interact with each other through a distributed information system. The approach involves considering, when modelling, the personality characteristics of perception, each member of the team as a set of cognitive styles. Within the scope…

Power converters are electronic devices widely applied in industry, and in recent years, for renewable energy electronic systems, they can regulate voltage levels and actuate as interfaces, however, to do so, is needed a controller. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) are applied to power converters comparing output voltage versus a reference voltage to reduce and anticipate error. Using…

The phasor Measurement Unit is a modern tracking tool mounted on a network to track and manage power systems. PMU is accurate and time-synchronized device that gives voltage phasor measurements in nodes and current phasor measurements connected to those nodes where the PMU is installed. This study introduces the Genetic Algorithm for optimization of allocation…

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a contactless communication technology based on a radio frequency (RF) field using a base frequency of 13.56 MHz. NFC technology is perfectly designed to exchange data between two devices via simple touch gestures. RFID is the process of identifying an object directly by radio frequency. There are two important components…

Smart animal husbandries require the adoption of dedicated tools to assess the contribution of each animal to the production process. The IoT platform presented in this article is a real-team monitoring system for voluntary weighing of cattle. To this end, the ISO 18000-6 standard is used for animal identification through an ultra-high-frequency radio link between…

No other form of technological development had negatively skewed from existing regulations as the siting of petrol filing stations. An audit of the degree to which their operators repeatedly violate the rules regulating their location and operations may encourage the legislature to pass laws that can ensure a balance between the economy and the environment.…

In this paper, hexa spacer damper is proposed and its vibration damping effect on the 765 kV power transmission network under the influence of fluctuating wind (10-60 Hz) loading is validated. This asymmetrical loadings led the bundle of Zebra ACSR conductor to be twisted and hence, cause mechanical and electrical instabilities across the span length.…
