The climate changes in the last few years created a major need to integrate more renewable energy sources and other low-carbon technologies into the power system network. This causes to face more changes in the power system network, which are particularly visible in distribution power networks. A higher penetration of the distributed energy resources, installed at low- voltage and or medium-voltage ...

Generally, the current source inverter is considered more reliable than the voltage source inverter due to the presence of inductor as an energy storage element on the DC link, but a disruption in the inductor current could significantly risk its reliability. To guarantee the reliable operation of current source inverter, an overlap time must be added to the gate signals of its switches. This ensures ...

Distribution grids are subject to a drastic evolution in their operating conditions due to the high integration of renewable energy resources (RES) and their ability to regulate voltage. To cope with this issue, modern solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are equipped with smart inverters enabled with communication capabilities that allow the coordinated operation to offer services such as controlling ...

This paper proposes a two-stage deep feed-forward neural network (DNN) to tackle the acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) problem. DNNs are a viable solution for the AAI task, but the temporal continuity of the estimated articulatory values has not been exploited properly when a DNN is employed. In this work, we propose to address the lack of any temporal constraints while enforcing a ...

In this paper, we present a novel concept of tracking cargoes at open ports using remote sensing images and convolution neural network (CNN) to classify various dry bulk commodities. The dataset used is prepared using Sentinel-2 atmospherically corrected (Sentinel-2 L2A) images covering 12 spectral bands. There are total 4995 labeled and geo-referenced images for four different cargoes-bauxite, ...

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) with a rearrangeable structure can quickly adjust their productivity to meet the dynamic market changes and the demand for high-variety products. Industry 4.0 technologies have enhanced the RMS flexibility and made the automation of the reconfiguration of the manufacturing system possible. As an Industry 4.0 technology, wireless power transfer (WPT) can ...

Capacitive power transfer (CPT) is a near-field wireless power transfer (WPT) technology that has attracted attention in different charging applications. By utilizing electric fields, CPT gives charging systems advantages in terms of cost, weight, flexibility, and mobility. This paper surveys a number of empirical published works in a period between 2015 and 2023. Additionally, it discusses theoretical ...

Rapid growth in urbanization and industrialization leads to an increase in air pollution and poor air quality. Because of its adverse effects on the natural environment and human health, it’s been declared a “silent public health emergency”. To deal with this global challenge, accurate prediction of air pollution is important for stakeholders to take required actions. In recent years, deep learning-based ...

Cyber infrastructures have been extensively used for power system monitoring, control, and operation because of the development of new information and communications technology (ICT) in power systems. Deployment of cyber-physical co-simulation in the case of a realistic distribution network is still a big challenge. Hence, to solve the problem of modelling complex distribution networks, a ...
