The paper has investigated the derivation. features and characteristics of passive sentences in JA. After exposing the structure of passivization in JA to the claim of the Minimalist Program. it has been found that a lot of its aspects can be straightforwardly accounted for in the light of feature-checking and …

Handbook of Energy Efficiency in Buildings: A Life Cycle Approach offers a comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the subject with a further focus on the Life Cycle. The editors. renowned academics. invited a diverse group of researchers to develop original chapters for the book and managed to well integrate all …

This paper addresses the design and implementation of a high-frequency full bridge bidirectional isolated dc–dc converter intended for high-power applications. The proposed BIDC system. consists of two symmetrical single phase full bridge VSCs. two dc capacitors. auxilary reactors and an high frequency (HF) transformer that provides the required galvanic isolation. …

In this paper. a real-time fusion system for human action recognition has been developed that uses data from two differing modality sensors: vision depth and inertial. The system merges the probability outputs of the features from these two differing modality sensors in real-time via a decisionbased fusion method involving collaborative …

As the prototype testing showed. the proposed operation method of the PMSM in dual-inverter topology at a single phase AC grid achieved performances. which are comparable to drive system solutions with an active PFC stage. The benefit of this solution is the displacement of additional PFC inductors. These inductors are …

A probabilistic methodology for optimal scheduling of load reductions recoveries in a day-ahead planning of transmission networks is proposed in the paper. The methodology recognizes several types of uncertainties. and finds optimal demand response scheduling using the network security and customer economics criteria. Impacts of wind generation and real-time thermal …

A voltage source Class-D inverter was exploited for the first time in a test rig for IPT rectifier characterisation independent of the magnetic link. The developed test rig makes the measurement of ac power feasible with commercially available passive voltage and current probes. while providing IPT conditions for the circuits …

Fig. 4 shows the die photo of a 5-6 GHz low-noise lowpower I Q DRC in 0.18μm CMOS technology. and the die-size is 1.5 x 1 mm2 including the DC RF pads. By on-wafer measurement. the total current consumption is 4.75mA at the supply voltage of 1.8 V. Fig. 5 …

Generation maintenance scheduling (GMS) plays an important role in power system operations. The restructuring of the power industry has forced changes to the traditional maintenance mechanism. On one hand. the generation companies seek to maximize their profit. On the other hand. the independent system operator (ISO) strives to maintain the …
