Bio-Inspired Electricity Storage Alternatives to Support Massive Demand-Side Energy Generation: A Review of Applications at Building Scale
(MDPI, 2021-07-26)
This work has its origin in the growing demands of energy regulations to meet future local targets and to propose a global implementation framework. A literature review related to conventional electrical energy storage ...
Scheduling Mandatory-Optional Real-Time Tasks in Homogeneous Multi-Core Systems with Energy Constraints Using Bio-Inspired Meta-Heuristics
(Graz University of Technology, 2019-05-28)
In this paper we present meta-heuristics to solve the energy aware reward based scheduling of real-time tasks with mandatory and optional parts in homogeneous multi-core processors. The problem is NP-Hard. An objective ...
Nature-Inspired Protecto-Flexible Impact-Tolerant Materials
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020-01-01)
The search for impact-tolerant, light-weight flexible materials has challenged materials scientists and engineers for decades. In this quest, many researchers have focused on studying natural armor as a guide to propose ...
Surface wave energy absorption by a partially submerged bio-inspired canopy
(IOP Publishing, 2018-05)
Aquatic plants are known to protect coastlines and riverbeds from erosion by damping waves and fluid flow. These flexible structures absorb the fluid-borne energy of an incoming fluid by deforming mechanically. In this ...
Poultry litter stabilization by two-stage composting-vermicomposting process: Environmental, energetic and economic performance
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05)
Poultry litter (PL) is a heterogeneous mixture that contains bedding materials, antibiotics, dead skin, feed scraps, water, feathers and the resulting microbiota from poultry production cycle. Although its treatment does ...
A rigorous computational model for hydrogen production from bio-ethanol to feed a fuel cell stack
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-02)
A pseudo dynamic rigorous model of a bio-ethanol processor system (BPS) to produce hydrogen for feeding a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM-FC) is presented. The main contribution of this work is to give the overall ...
An analysis of urban block initiatives influencing energy consumption and solar energy absorption
(MDPI AGSwitzerland, 2023)
Plant-wide control design for fuel processor system with PEMFC
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-10)
The main contribution of this work is the application of a novel technique for the plant- wide control design to a challenging bio-ethanol processor system for hydrogen produc- tion. It is based on steam reforming, followed ...
Pheromone-based In-Network Processing for wireless sensor network monitoring systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2012-12)
Monitoring spatio-temporal continuous fields using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has emerged as a novel solution. An efficient data-driven routing mechanism for sensor querying and information gathering in large-scale ...
