State estimators based on load flows and applied in electrical power systems (EPS) are a basic and crucial function in energy management systems (EMS), since they must guarantee the quality of their results for decision-making. ...

This paper presents a spatial-temporal approach for estimating the load demand of battery electric vehicles (BEV) charging in small residential areas. This approach is especially suited for simulating the driving pattern ...

Satellite remote sensing data can provide timely, accurate, and objective information on cultivated area by crop type and, in turn, facilitate accurate estimates of crop production. Here, we present a generic multi-resolution ...

The smart grid will enable a revolution in the way we manage and relates to the distribution networks through intelligent applications. For many of these applications, it is understood that one of the primary activities ...

Image acquisition systems based on multi-head arrangement of digital frame cameras, such as the commercial systems DMC, UltraCam, besides others, are attractive alternatives enabling larger imaging area when compared to a ...

A balance between forest production and protection is hard to achieve in arid zones due to their low potential for wood production. Prosopis flexuosa woodlands are the major woody formations in the Monte desert and are ...

Accurate water table depth mapping is important for water management and activity planning. The joint use of exhausted geospatial raster data with sparse field measurements could improve predictions. The aim of this work ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of multifrequency and Full-polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for retrieving both Above Ground Biomass (AGB) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) in the Amazon floodplain ...
