This paper presents the development of an off-grid photovoltaic energy supply in Chongwe District, Zambia, which delivers electricity to a health post and three supporting buildings. The system includes 23.3 square metres of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) panel with a peak output of 3.4 kW, and 21.1 kWh of storage using absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries. The design methodology for the...
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is investigating technologies and methods to enhance the next generation of tactical simulation-based trainers. A primary research objective is to increase the number of simultaneous Soldiers that can train and collaborate in a shared, virtual environment. Current virtual programs of record cannot support the Department of the Army's goal to train at the company...
Virtual world simulation for military training is an emerging domain. As such, detailed analysis is required to optimize the performance the simulators. Unfortunately, due to a lack of extensive virtual world performance analysis, simulator administrators often make arbitrary resource allocations to support their environments and training scenarios. In this paper, we provide a lightweight predictive...
The offshore node will be a key component of a future European Supergrid. The offshore AC hub (or SuperNode) is presented as one possible topology of an offshore node. Tranche A is an area within Dogger Bank, which is one of the UK's largest offshore wind development zones. It is a likely location of an offshore AC hub and therefore is used as a case study. Two strategies are presented for control...
