In this paper, the nonlinear thermal analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plate with material variation parameter (n), boundary conditions, aspect ratios and side to thickness ratios is investigated using higher order displacement model. The derivation of equations of motion…

Solar energy has been proved as an innovative and promising route for the treatment of industrial effluents, waste water and for the purification of water. The solar detoxification process has challenged the effectiveness of conventional treatment processes for the degradation…

This paper presents a new topology for converting a DC voltage to an AC one. The proposed converter is excited from two separate DC supplies so the term "Doubly-Excited". The most important features of the proposed converter are the output…

This paper presents the analysis of Automatic generation control (AGC) of a two-area hydrothermal system under traditional scenario by considering the effect of Capacitive Energy Storage (CES) and Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS). The Combined effect of these parameters on…

Multilevel inverters have gained interest in recent years in high-power medium-voltage industry. This paper considered the most popular structure among the transformer-less voltage source multilevel inverters, the diode-clamped inverter based on the neutral point converter. This paper proposes a single…

In this paper, instantaneous reactive power theory (P-q theory) based control method is proposed forthree-phase four-wire shunt active power conditioner (shunt APC) to mitigate some power qualityproblems namely, harmonic, reactive power, balancing the load currents, and elimination of neutralcurrent. The…

In this paper, the Tent map is analyzed as a source of pseudorandom bits. To evaluate the performance ofthe proposed pseudorandom bit generator, different issues were considered, such as the period length, thediscriminator value and the merit factor. The Tent…

The paper presents a quality of service aware routing protocol which provides low latency for high priority packets. Packets are differentiated based on their priority by applying queuing theory. Low priority packets are transferred through less energy paths. The sensor…

The unsteady implementation of the conceptual model of deregulation of electric utility industry in many countries has caused significant consequences in the overall health of the general population of large power transformers [LPTs]. LPTs are now subject to adverse conditions…

Pipeline tubes are part of vital mechanical systems largely used in petrochemical industries. They serve to transport natural gases or liquids. They are cylindrical tubes and are submitted to the risks of corrosion due to high PH concentrations of the…
