Abstract The purpose of this study is to design a Photovoltaics (PV) stand-alone system for residential load in Bunaken Island using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Multiple Energy Resources). Island, the case location, popular tourist spot North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This island facing issue limited access electrical energy from grid. and techno-economic analysis leveraged software. software was dev...

Reliability, availability and scalability are major concerns in the design of distributed file systems. We have built an island-based file system (IFS) called Archipelago to solve these problems by failure isolation and low-cost consistency maintenance. The building blocks of IFS are smaller self-contained file servers called islands. The main idea underlying island-based design is the one-isla...

This study was to investigate the influence of composite resins with different elastic modulus, cavity modification and occlusal loading condition on the stress distribution of restored notch-shaped noncarious cervical lesion using 3-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. The extracted maxillary second premolar was scanned serially with Micro-CT. The 3D images were processed by 3D-DOCTO...

This paper investigates an alternative solution to prevent Load Shedding (LS) triggering during underfrequency and proposes a new technique to restore the frequency during emergency events. Demand response (DR) is considered as one of the most promising Smart Grid concepts that can be used to support the peak demand, whereas, LS is an existing last resort method during emergency grid situations...
