In this paper, we present mathematical analyses to consider the effect of material properties on the sensitivity of the Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) piezoelectric hydrophone and improve the sensitivity by choosing the proper material. The selected structure in the present paper is a piezoelectric hydrophone able to work at low frequencies. The piezoelectric hydrophones are widely used ...

In recent years, emissions from the road transportation industry in China have been increasing rapidly. To evaluate the reduction potential of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions of the industry in China, its emission inventory was calculated and scenario analysis was created for the period between 2012 and 2030 in this paper. Based on the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP...

Resilient operation of microgrid is an important concept in modern power system. Its goal is to anticipate and limit the risks, and provide appropriate and continuous services under changing conditions. There are many factors that cause the operation mode of micogrid changes between island and grid-connected modes. On the other hand, nowadays, electric vehicles (EVs) are desirable energy storag...

Power-to-gas is a promising option for storing interment renewables, nuclear baseload power, and distributed energy and it is a novel concept for the transition to increased renewable content of current fuels with an ultimate goal of transition to a sustainable low-carbon future energy system that interconnects power, transportation sectors and thermal energy demand all together. The aim of thi...

The recent studies emphasize the importance of modern technologies and reduction gases emission while neglecting significance optimum fuel. A comprehensive comparison for compressed natural gas, liquified petroleum gasoline, electricity, diesel, alternative fuels such as bioethanol biodiesel a transport fuel is carried out Pakistan. by undertaking various factor that affects economy. Therefore,...

Overhead cranes are widely used in industrial applications for material displacing. Many linear or nonlinear control schemes have been proposed for overhead cranes and implemented on electronic systems, but energy efficiency of transportation has seldom been considered in motion planning. This paper aims at finding an optimal solution of motion planning in terms of energy efficiency for overhea...
