The neurocognitive processing of emotions evoked by visual stimuli (based on affective images) could involve internal structures of the brain. Currently, numerous studies suggest the possibility of studying th...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The electric power sector is transitioning to opt for renewable energy sources (RES) to meet the energy demand. Adding RES into the distribution system reduces dependency on fossil fuel-based power generation....
Chapter
The most commonly used composite materials in engineering are glass or carbon fibers embedded in a matrix, usually a thermoset or thermoplastic polymer.
Chapter
The study of damage has been of a great interest to different scientific communities, and several theories or approaches have been generated to predict crack initiation, propagation, and degradation of materia...

In this paper, we attempt to understand the limits to the loading of real and reactive powers at individual buses of radial feeders kee** the desired system constraints at specified values. To observe these ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
For evaluation of operational suitability of a system, reliability is considered as an important parameter for the analysis. Evaluation of reliability of photovoltaic arrays (PVA) operation is necessary for cr...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we present an optimal renewable energy resource allocation for a rural microgrid using four renewable energy resources—solar PV energy, micro-hydro energy, wind energy and biomass energy. A linea...
Chapter and Conference Paper
PV power can be best utilized for water pum** systems (WPS) for irrigation and drinking water applications. For the small DC application, generally permanent magnet DC motor (PMDCM) is preferred for direct c...
