In December 2015, the world has reached an agreement in Paris by which many countries commit to bolster their efforts about reducing adverse climate changes. Hence, we can expect that decarbonization will even attract more attention in different energy sectors in near future. In particular, both generation side and consumption side are required to be run more congruently and environmentally friendly...
Replacing a portion of current light-duty vehicles (LDVs) with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) offers the possibility to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels together with environmental and economic benefits. However, charging a myriad of PHEVs will certainly introduce a huge new load to the power grid. In the framework of the development of a smarter grid, the primary focus of the present...
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can significantly increase the elasticity of residential electricity demand. This elasticity can be employed to shape the daily aggregated electricity demand profile of a system comprised of a large number of residential PEVs' users sharing one electricity retailer or an aggregator. In this paper, we propose a joint demand shaping and altering algorithm for managing...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to become widespread in future years. Thus, it is foreseen that EVs will become the new high-electricity-consuming appliances in the households. The characteristics of the extra power load that they impose on the distribution grid follow the patterns of people's random usage behaviors. In this paper, we seek to provide answers to the following question: assigning...
Electric vehicles (EVs) add significant load on the power grid as they become widespread. The characteristics of this extra load follow the patterns of people's driving behaviours. In particular, random parameters such as arrival time and charging time of the vehicles determine their expected charging demand profile from the power grid. In this paper, we first develop a model for uncoordinated charging...
A helical antenna is a helical shaped conductor winded around a cylinder. This antenna can radiate in different modes but the axial mode is one of the most commonly used ones since in this mode, it gives the maximum radiation power. This paper presents a novel, simple and inexpensive method to measure the radiated power density around base transceiver stations (BTS). We designed an optimized helical...
In this paper, we introduce a novel fuzzy adaptive algorithm for blind detection of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) signals in a multiuser communication scenario. We make use of fuzzy control systems to wisely determine the appropriate step size of the adaptive algorithm based on the quality of the received signal. We have used the popular minimum output energy (MOE) blind...
Due to binary nature of halftone images it is often difficult to process them without causing keen degradation compared to grayscale images. Therefore, it gives the purpose to develop many algorithms to reconstruct grayscale images from their corresponding halftones which is called inverse halftoning. A fast and computation-free technique to accomplish inverse halftoning is the Look-Up Table (LUT)...
