This thesis presents an overview of the different types of hybrid electric vehicle structures and basic guidelines regarding choice of components. The simulation model of a hybrid electric vehicle was created for this thesis to investigate the impact on fuel efficiency in relation to rolling resistance coefficient and vehicle weight. Although the model is not designed for optimal engine operation, ...

Abstract Modern power systems need more intelligence and flexibility to maintain and control a generation load balance from subsequent serious disturbances due to the emerging of more renewable energy sources. This problem is becoming more significant today because of the increasing number of micro-grids (MGs). MGs usually use renewable energies in electrical production those fluctuate naturally. ...

In this thesis, the designing of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for the power electronic laboratory of UiT- Campus Narvik has been carried out. The relevant topics and literature regarding the elements in a photovoltaic system and grid connection standards have been studied and reviewed. A system with the capacity and ratings of solar modules currently available has been designed in Simulink. ...

The modern Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO-satellites) technology is highly complex and reliable than it was yesterday. Nowadays, the LEO-satellites applications extend from civilian to military applications. However, LEO-satellites require a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) service, to achieve various tasks which require positioning and localizing. The challenge is to have a GNSS receiver ...

Simulation of Soil-Structure Interaction becomes more and more the focus of computational engineering in civil and mechanical engineering, where FEM (Finite element Methods) for soil and structural mechanics and Finite Volume for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) are dominant. New advanced formulations have been developed for FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) applications using ALE (Arbitrary ...

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions (of Muckenhoupt-Bradley type) for the validity of q -analogs of (r, p) -weighted Hardy-type inequalities for all possible positive values of the parameters r and p . We also point out some possibilities to further develop the theory of Hardy-type inequalities in this new direction.

We consider the q-analog of the Riemann-Liouville fractional q-integral operator of order n∈Nn∈N. Some new Hardy-type inequalities for this operator are proved and discussed.

In a bounded domain with a thin periodically punctured interface we study the limit behavior of the bottom of spectrum for a Steklov type spectral problem, the Steklov boundary condition being imposed on the perforation surface. For a certain range of parameters we construct the effective spectral problem and justify the convergence of eigenpairs.

The paper deals with the Neumann spectral problem for a singularly perturbed second-order elliptic operator with bounded lower order terms. The main goal is to provide a refined description of the limit behaviour of the principal eigenvalue and eigenfunction. Using the logarithmic transformation, we reduce the studied problem to an additive eigenvalue problem for a singularly perturbed Hamilton–Jacobi ...

In [14] we investigated some Vilenkin—Nörlund means with non-increasing coefficients. In particular, it was proved that under some special conditions the maximal operators of such summabily methods are bounded from the Hardy space H1/(1+α) to the space weak-L1/(1+α), (0 < α ≦ 1). In this paper we construct a martingale in the space H1/(1+α), which satisfies the conditions considered in [14], and so ...
