Shape Design Optimization of Unimorph Piezoelectric Cantilever Energy Harvester

The most promising method for micro scale energy scavenging is via vibration energy harvesting which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. Using piezoelectric cantilevers is the most common method for vibration energy harvesting. Changing the shape of the cantilevers can lead to changing the generated output voltage and power. In this work vibration energy harvesting via piezoelectri...

Design and operation optimization of an air conditioning system through simulation: an hour-by-hour simulation study

In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...

Satellite Conceptual Design Multi-Objective Optimization Using Co Framework

This paper focuses upon the development of an efficient method for conceptual design optimization of a satellite. There are many option for a satellite subsystems that could be choice, as acceptable solution to implement of a space system mission. Every option should be assessment based on the different criteria such as cost, mass, reliability and technology contraint (complexity). In this rese...

Creating Parameterized and Energy-Efficient System Generator Designs

MATLAB/Simulink based system-level tools are becoming popular for FPGA designs these days. One major advantage offered by these tools is that the designer can make use of the ability of MATLAB/Simulink to perform arithmetic-level simulation, which is much faster than the behavioral and architectural simulations in traditional FPGA design flows. As energy efficiency of a design is becoming more ...
