Due to the variations in weather conditions, photovoltaic systems adopt a technique based on maximum power point tracking to extract the maximal power of the solar module. In the literature, there are many different methods classical and intelligent of maximum power point tracking (MPPT). But, due to the semiconductor effect, the current-voltage characteristics of the…

In this study, we conducted an experimental study and efficiency optimization of the outer rotor (hub) BLDC (brushless direct current) motor and axial BLDC motor for light electric vehicles. Both motors were investigated in the simulation environment and experimentally. The axial flux BLDC motor had a rated power of 10 KW, and a rated speed…

This article explains the fundamental principles of the economic policy that are integrated into the decentralized public platform Waterfall. The platform has a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) based system architecture and is designed to develop decentralized applications and financial services. The main goal of this work is to create a favorable environment that incentivizes positive…

Continuously Variable Series Reactor (CVSR) is a device that can vary the reactance in an ac circuit by controlling the magnetization of a ferromagnetic core, shared by ac and dc windings. The bias dc current can change the equivalent ac reactance(inductance) in order to, for example, control load flow, damp oscillations, or fault current limitation.…

Over the past decade, Bitcoin’s unprecedented performance has underscored its po-sition as the premier asset class. Starting from an insignificant value and reaching an astounding high of around 65,000 U.S dollars in 2021 – all without a central con-trolling authority – Bitcoin’s trajectory is undoubtedly a historical feat. Its intangible nature, initially a subject of…

This paper describes the design of a phase shifter with electrically adjustable parameters employing only one voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA) and one floating capacitor. This circuit requires no external resistors, resulting in a resistorless design and a low component count. The proposed circuit implements a first-order all-pass filter response with electronic control of its…

Currently, the quality and quantity of product must be inspected before transporting. Currently the popular unsealing box product inspecting is performed by weighing the box where the errors occur according to the tolerance of the weighting machine and tolerance weight of the product. On the other hand, the quantity of product can be inspected automatically…

Blockchain technology has been successfully applied in many fields for immutable and secure data storage. However, for applications with on-chain big data, blockchain scalability remains to be a main concern. In this paper, we propose a novel scalable storage scheme, called HistoChain, for a consortium blockchain network to manage blockchain data. We use a current…

Recently, many problems have been caused by battery fires. The existing BMS(Battery Managment System) measured the voltage of each cell of the battery through the physical connection between the battery and the control module. However, if a battery with up to 1000 VDC becomes inoperable due to an external factor, the battery is damaged, and…

Currently one of the urgent goals of mathematical education is the organization of effective work with gifted students. Based on the study of various approaches to teaching mathematically gifted students, many years of experience of teachers, students’ work, and an analysis of curricula and materials for schools with in-depth study of mathematics, an author’s model…

The relevance of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) controllers in controlling power network parameters is causing them to be included in contemporary networks. But for the intended objectives to be attained, the best device positioning and parameter settings are essential. This work compares the performance of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and firefly algorithm (FA) in…

Sleep stage performs a vital role in people’s daily lives in the detection of sleep-related diseases. Conventional automated sleep stage classifier models are not efficient due to the complexity linked to the design of mathematical models and extraction of hand-engineering features. Further, quick oscillations amongst sleep stages frequently lead to indistinct feature extraction, which might…

The paper presents two robust and efficient control algorithms based on (i) Optimal Control Allocation (OCA) and (ii) Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC). The robotics system consists of two rovers with mecanum wheels and mounted two 7-DOF arms carrying a common load. The overall system is an underdetermined one with non-holonomic constraints. The developed control…

Carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) has a huge advantage over the Si- MOSFET. In MOSFET switching occurs by altering channel resistivity whereas in CNTFET switching occurs by modulation contact resistance. CNTFET generates three to four times of drive current than MOSFET. Transconductance of CNTFET is four times higher than the MOSFET. The average carrier…

Massive integration of inverter dominated renewable energy systems (RESs), i.e., wind turbines (WTs), reduces the reliance on conventional alternator-based power stations. The system inertia and damping aspects of the power system were significantly decreased by this extensive integration of inverter-based WT system, which impacts on the fault ride-through (FRT) competence and thus precipitates the frequency…

While it is commonly accepted that climate change needs to be addressed to protect both human and environmental health, it is not widely understood what steps need to be taken to accomplish this daunting task. Additionally, there is currently no formal definition of what constitutes a ‘green’ company or ‘green’ best practice, despite the rising…

The South African government has embarked on the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI), to increase access to healthcare and improve service delivery. However, the project has being encountering various challenges, which are not empirically known. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that influence the implementation of the NHI from…

Process mining is an innovative technique through which inefficiencies in production systems can be eliminated. This technique has therefore become very important internationally in recent years and is also useful for pursuing the improvement of production systems by extrapolating process knowledge from event logs recorded by information systems. Process mining has easy application in production…

This paper is an extension of the work originally presented in the 26th International Con- ference on Automation and Computing. This study regarding hardware prefetching aims at concealing cache misses, leading to maximizing the performance of modern processors. This paper leverages prefetch coverage improvement as a way to achieve the goal. Original work proposes two…

Before succumbing to the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have sustained a ubiquitous presence in human lives and society. ICTs have changed the standards and dynamics of educational practices (EPs). Many academic institutions had already integrated technological-based pedagogical instructions into their educational practices but, in various cases, faced challenges of failing to…

The use of a battery to power an electrical or electronic system is accompanied by battery management, i.e. a set of measures intended to preserve it for preventative maintenance, thus the cost reduction. This management is generally based on two key parameters, the (remaining useful life) RUL and the (State-of-health) SOH, which relate respectively to…
