A microgrid can be characterized by its integration of distributed energy resources and controllable loads. Such brings unique challenges to the management control which significantly different from conventional power systems. Therefore, a system (EMS) needs re-designed with consideration characteristics microgrids. To this end, we propose EMS named platform (MP). We take into account all functional requirements (i.e., forecast, optimization, data analysis, human-machine interface) address...
Abstract It is generally acknowledged that existing computer-aided design systems have inefficient user interfaces. Especially during the concept shape stage, these prove to be cumbersome because of two reasons: (i) they require usage two-dimensional (2D) input devices, while designs are typically three-dimensional (3D); and, (ii) CAD specification dimensions, which may not precisely known at stage. To overcome limitations, this research proposes use virtual reality (VR) devices provide a...
Abstract The design paradigm called virtual prototyping (VP) is important because of the need to manufacture products in a short period time and cost effective manner. By replacing building physical prototypes for testing various issues such as usability, life-cycle analysis, functionality so on with "virtual models" computer analyzing them, achieved. One that has become increasingly "design-for-disassembly (DFD)" paradigm. A well designed product easy disassemble obvious advantages when it...
A product is typically designed in the assembled configuration. However, CAD systems do not analyze design for disassemblability, a significant part of maintenance. This paper presents new methodology performing disassembly evaluation models designs involves analyzing disassemblability utilizing several techniques, such as selective and destructive disassembly, to assess: (i) ease maintenance, (ii) sequencing maintain selected set components (iii) cost The utilizes metric quantitative...
Certain applications of passive radio frequency identification (RFID), such as those in healthcare where the patient's name, or medical record must be stored, require data within a tag to encrypted.Encrypted an RFID has potential affect accuracy time read/write by reader.The current research measures and analyzes effects encryption, distance read delay between two cycles on write function infrastructure.The also evaluates (R/W) that is encrypted compares this with unencrypted data.The...
Abstract This paper describes the development of a computer system architecture for mechanical conceptual shape design within virtual environment — COVIRDS1 (COnceptual VIRtual Design System).
This paper presents a disassembly tool to support environmentally conscious product design. The consists of software program that gives recommendations design based on analysis. analysis analysis, disassemblability computing an optimal sequence and rating. These considerations make easier disassemble therefore are beneficial the environment.
Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) analysis saves time and reduces production costs by anticipating manufacturing problems at a product’s design stage. Performing of created Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems requires higher level geometrical abstraction its component features. For complicated parts, such as those found in injection molding, this problem becomes very difficult. The current approach presents computationally efficient to converting the basic topological elements used CAD into...
Abstract Rapid shape creation and visualization of solid models remains a tedious task despite advances in the field Computer Aided Design (CAD)/Solid Modeling. CAD systems require significant level detail, such as vertices, edges, faces to be specified by user, even before simplest shapes can created viewed. In addition, most have an essentially 2D interface for designing artifacts. This makes artifact visualization, example interactive rotation, difficult since all manipulations achieved...
From the customer domain perspective, interoperation implies that external systems are able to control customer's energy resources as well read energy-related information. These two types of accesses an resource affect operation differently. However, most existing security mechanisms were designed at individual level and cannot efficiently handle such fine-grained access. To resolve issue fine granularity, this paper proposes a new mechanism, Resource Centric Security, leverages concept...
