Quantifying savings in spaces energy demands and CO2 emissions by shading and lighting controls in the Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the deceleration in worldwide annual energy consumption and CO2 emissions, many countries, such as in the Arabian Gulf, are still unarguably far from following this international trend. This study investigates the ...
Modeling and control for new LLCL filter based grid-tied PV inverters with active power decoupling and active resonance damping capabilities
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
LLCL filters utilization decreases single-phase transformerless inverter's AC-Side volume significantly. Conversely, the inherent 2nd order power harmonic ripples burden inverters' DC-Side. In fact, the passive solution ...
Simulation of wellbore construction in offshore unconsolidated methane hydrate-bearing formation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The unconsolidated nature of offshore methane hydrate-bearing formation poses challenges to sustainable methane gas production as the weak formation is susceptible to disturbance during wellbore construction. This could ...
