In the current industrial development, an increasing number of sensors is applied for monitoring of any kind of appliances and machines. A predictive mathematical model allows for realistic assessment of the health state of the appliance, indication of service requirements, as well as control of the appliance, serving as so-called digital twin on a control…

This paper investigates the efficiency benefits of replacing the Silicon diodes of a commercial IGBT module for the main inverter application of an electric vehicle with Silicon Carbide diodes, leaving the package, operating conditions and the system unchanged. This ensures that the comparison is directly between the chip technologies without any scope for discrepancies arising…

Log-periodic antennas have high electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range. The large length of the antennas is their significant disadvantage caused by the fact that each active region consisting of several radiators operates in a narrow frequency range. To extend this range, it is proposed to use radiators with concentrated capacitive loads, providing in-phase…

The key objective of this study is to analyse the heat transfer processes involved in the evaporation and condensation of water in a water distillation system employing a thermoelectric module. This analysis can help to increase the water production and to enhance the system performance. For the analysis, a water distillation unit prototype integrated with…

The main target of this article is to perform the multidimensional analysis of multipath propagation in an indoor and outdoor environment at higher frequencies i.e. 15 GHz, 28 GHz and 60 GHz, using “sAGA” a 3D ray tracing tool. A real world outdoor Line of Sight (LOS) microcellular environment from the Yokusuka city of Japan…

This paper reports the results of an empirical, 3D full wave inversion (FWI) numerical analysis which provides an estimation of the performance of multi-static handheld ground penetrating radar (GPR,) compared to a bi-static system, for landmine detection using FWI imaging. The experiments are based on simulated data and provide a more realistic evaluation of the…

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) are devices made up of several electrical and mechanical components. They consist of mechanical functions (sensing, thermal, inertial) and electrical functions (switching, decision making) on a single chip made by microfabrication methods. These chips exhibit combined properties of the two functions. The size of system has characteristic dimensions less than 1mm but…

This paper presents an analysis of a parallel connection of one synchronous generator and one self-excited induction generator that feeds a resistive load and an Induction Motor. The system voltage and frequency are controlled by a voltage control loop and a speed control loop connected to synchronous generator. The induction generator speed is controlled by…

In modern powers systems, one of the most considerable topics is economic load dispatch (ELD). ELD is non-linear problem and it became non-convex and non-smooth problem with some constraints such as valve point loading effect. ELD is very crucial for energy generation and distribution in power systems. For solving ELD problem, a lot of methods…

This paper presents the modelling and analysis of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) which are used in direct driven small scale wind turbines. The 3 kW PM generator which is driven directly without gear system is analyzed by Ansoft Maxwell 2D RMxprt. The performance analysis of generator includes the cogging torque in two teeth, induced…

Nowadays, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) (Heart Attack) is ubiquitous and one of the major reasons of death worldwide. Early screening of people at risk of having IHD may lead to minimize morbidity and mortality. A simple approach is proposed in this paper to predict risk of developing heart attack using smartphone and data mining. Clinical…

Over the years, wind loading codes has been a crucial tool in determining design wind loads on buildings. Due to the limitations of these codes especially in height, wind tunnel testing is recommended as the best approach in predicting wind flow around buildings but carrying out wind tunnel testing in the preliminary as well as…

The objective of this paper is to investigate the use of the 1-D wavelet analysis to extract several patterns from signals data sets collected from healthy and faulty input-output signals of control systems as a preliminary step in real-time implementation of fault detection diagnosis and isolation strategies. The 1-D wavelet analysis proved that is an…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of integrated content and English education. To fulfill this, 30 studies conducted in elementary school setting matching the meta-analysis criteria, such as being quantitative, experimental, or having affective statistical results after searching for the key words of “content-based”, “theme-based” and “integrated learning” on the accessible…

Multi-attribute reverse auction is widely used for the procurements of enterprises or governments. To overcome the difficulty of identifying bidding attribute weight and score function of the buyer, the multi-round auction and bidding models with multiple winners are established based on fuzzy data envelopment analysis. The winner determination model of the buyer considers the integrated…

In futures markets, a single asset is generally represented by several contracts with different maturities. The selection of specific contracts is an inevitable task that also creates new opportunities, especially in terms of speculative trading. Evaluating immediate and upcoming trading costs for all considered contracts might lead to a significantly improved performance. Among that, even…

Study the content of images is considered an important topic in which reasonable and accurate analysis of images are generated. Recently image analysis becomes a vital field because of huge number of images transferred via transmission media in our daily life. These crowded media with images lead to highlight in research area of image analysis.…

A company’s ability to find the most profitable technology is based on a precise forecast of achievement potential. Technology Management (TM) uses forecasting models to analyse future potentials, e.g. the Gartner Hype Cycle, Arthur D. Little’s technology lifecycle or McKinsey’s S-curve model. All these methods are useful for qualitative analysis in the planning of strategic…

The concept of renewable energy is increasing day by day because the electrical applications are moving towards utilization of renewable sources and due to this factor electric power is also gaining ground and new type of converters are modelled in order to get high utilization of renewable sources.
