The impact of uncontrolled charging plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on distribution networks is investigated using a probabilistic approach based Monte Carlo simulations. A model simulating daily residential and commercial electrical demand estimates the existing networks. PEV operator simulates actions drivers throughout typical day to estimate for vehicle charging. Three are studied that suburban, urban rural networks, respectively. analysis focused peak increases, secondary transformer...
A true global CO2 emissions standard is still not available. EN16258 currently the most internationally accepted for transport and logistics. Moreover, emission standards have been developed by associations a single mode of or specific regions (e.g., North America). This research suggests recommendations all modes based on freight/logistics transportation. First, relevant methods are addressed explained. Based ISO IWA 16, they then compared combined into overview. case study introduction...

Interest in the power potential of tidal streams is growing worldwide. While latest assessment for Canadian coastlines estimates a resource approximately 42 GW, these results are based on average kinetic energy flux through channel. It has been shown, however, that this method cannot be used to obtain maximum extractable electricity generation. This work presents an updated theory from stream channel linking bay open ocean. The ocean may estimated, within 15 per cent, as 0.22ρ gaQ 0 , where...
A relative humidity sensor based on polymer-coated optical fibre Bragg gratings is presented. This fully functional has response time and resolution comparable to the current capacitive (RH) sensors, but with greater applicability. Numerical experimental methods are used determine effects of coating thickness diameter sensitivity coated Pyralin. Transient results indicate that thicknesses less than 4 μm needed achieve a 5 s, competitive commercial RH sensors. Using thin coatings ∼2 μm, for...
