In this paper, we focus on technical facilities and technologies used at the Johann Gregor Mendel station (James Ross Island, Antarctica) with a special respect to energy sources used for running the station. Construction of the station is evaluated from energy demand and energy loss points of view. Detailed description of main energy sources, i.e. wind turbines, solar thermal panels, and diese...

Canadian researchers are now trying to exploit much more energy from solar sources, hydropower, wind, and biomass. Given the fact that reducing the carbon pollutant level is a political priority in Canada, this paper studies the feasibility of providing sanitary hot water and space heating demands of a four-member family in 10 provinces in this country. The feasibility analysis was performed by...

Electric vehicle charging stations are essential infrastructure in developing electric vehicles. In order to construct reasonable amount of electric vehicle charging stations with proper locations, a mathematical multi-level layout planning model, which aims at minimizing the initial construction investment and the users’ charging cost simultaneously, is employed in this paper. An improved gene...

The transition to new forms of urban transport, which are environment friendly, efficient, and cost-effective has become a pressing issue modern times. Battery electric buses being deployed worldwide, marking change in public transport planning operations. emergence fast ultra-fast wireless charging for brought about the need processes associated decision-support models their deployment. object...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the advantages of low pollution, energy consumption, and high efficiency, so they are highly valued by governments, enterprises, consumers. However, promotion use electric is restricted to a certain extent because their limited range. This paper selects vehicle intercity medium- long-distance travel as research object, takes classical flow-capturing location problem...

This paper presents experimental results carried out in the SIRENE irradiation test facility, installed at ONERA (Toulouse, France), on stacked polyimide / adhesive structures used on solar panels. This study aims at following the evolution of the charging potential built up at the surface of these structures during an eclipse event in geostationary orbit. We have been able to demonstrate that ...
