Transportation Electrification in a Grid With Increased Non-Wires Alternatives [Viewpoint]

Options for off-grid electrification in the Kingdom of Bhutan

Bhutan sells electricity across the border to India. However large sections of its population do not have access to electricity. The harsh mountainous terrain coupled with sparse and dispersed settlements in Bhutan makes grid extension difficult, costly and economically unviable. Therefore, it is worth looking at renewable energy options to meet electricity demand in remote locations. This stud...

Sustainability and Development Impacts of Off- Grid Electrification in Developing Countries an Assessment of South Africa's Rural Electrification Program

Previous studies have shown that provision of sustainable electricity supply to rural households is essential to bring development to off-grid populations. For this reason, most developing countries put large efforts into rural electrification programs to stimulate development and reduce poverty. However, to be sustainable these programs need to recover costs, which poses a challenge to remote ...

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Transportation: An Analysis of Alternatives

features of short story in translated and non-translated literature: a polysystemic perspective

ترجمه متون ادبی در دنیای امروز از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. فرهنگ های مختلف با استفاده از متون ادبی ملل و فرهنگ های دیگر سعی در غنی کردن فرهنگ و ادبیات کشور خود دارند. کشور ما نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نیست. در ایران، ترجمه متون ادبی اروپائی که با دوران مشروطه ایرانی آغاز می شود موجب تغییرات اساسی در فرهنگ، شیوه زندگی و تفکر ایرانیان شده است. در این دوران نه تنها در امورات سیاسی و فکری کشور تغی...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...
