As in engineering, medicine, agriculture, etc., innovative approaches are sought in the discipline of architecture with the solution proposals offered by nature. Designers looking for creative solutions, especially in producing the most effective constructions with the most materials, providing energy efficiency in built environments, designing ecologically and harvesting water and developing methods that imitate and learn from nature. One of the main actors in the global agenda on climate change and the clean water problem is built environments. In this context, water harvesting methods to be developed through architectural design also emerge as one of the current research topics. In this paper, research has been conducted on how the water harvesting knowledge in nature can be integrated into architecture; A biomimetic shell proposal has been developed to provide atmospheric water gain. Firstly, the concept of biomimetics is clarified through a literature review and examples of water balance strategies of living things in nature are presented. Then, architectural examples inspired by these strategies are analyzed. The selected living organisms were analyzed in the field study section and a design concept that can harvest water on the building facade was developed based on the biological information obtained. Inspired by the water harvesting principles of cactus and Bromeliaceae plants, this design is presented as an alternative for water harvesting with different usage possibilities in built environments.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, these vehicles' grid level penetration will increase proportionally, which challenges the existing grid infrastructure in terms of its reliability and energy management capabilities. New techniques to store and consume massive quantities of energy from the power grid, as well as infusing the captive energy within the EV in response to grid demands, are emerging with the advent of electric vehicles. Everything could be handled smoothly only if we schedule the EV operation (charging/discharging) more optimally and efficiently using scheduling algorithms. Despite the existence of many routings and charging schedule computations, nature-inspired optimization approaches might play a critical role in responding to such routing challenges. Researchers have created several optimum scheduling approaches, such as Dynamic Programming, Differential Evolutionary Optimization Techniques, Collaborative Optimization Scheduling, Two-stage optimal scheduling strategy, and so on. The optimum schedule review examines the operation of an EV fleet while considering uncertainty sources and varied EV operating circumstances by integrating heuristic and meta-heuristic techniques. This paper exhibits a deep review on the various EV optimal scheduling techniques and adopted algorithms which are the emerging best practices like predictive analytics, dynamic routing, user centric planning, multi-objective optimization, etc. that reflect the industry's focus on leveraging advanced technologies, data-driven decision-making, and collaborative approaches to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of electric vehicle routing and charging scheduling.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140403272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models were tested using an earthquake dataset. Experimental results show that the CNN+GRU model performs better than others according to MSE, RMSE, MAE and MAPE metrics.

Thus, the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the potential of using standalone small-scale concentrated solar power collectors in order to generate process heat at a moderate temperature, which directly utilizes thermal energy without the need to generate electricity. A parabolic trough collector (3.6m2) was designed and manufactured, including a dual-axis solar tracking system with and without an insulating function. An insulating cavity was incorporated to minimize the heat losses collected by the absorbed tube. The experiments were carried out during a time of high winds and unfavorable weather in Sabratha City. The findings of the experiments demonstrated that the produced temperature and the collected heat energy progressively increase until they reach their maximum value, and then gradually decrease. The maximum water temperature was 96ºC at a flow rate of 0.5L/min, and the highest amount of heat energy was 550W/m². Wind speed showed an important impact on the produced temperature; therefore, various comparative experiments were carried out in the same climate condition; the experiment with the insulating function presented the least heat loss, and it takes a higher edge of 11% in terms of efficiency. In addition, the water temperature rose to 120°C where steam was generated at a zero flow rate, while the oil reached 194ºC. In addition, a mathematical model was also implemented to theoretically study energy balance; with little expected discrepancy, its predictions and the experimental results agreed. In conclusion, the results presented reasonable markers of interest despite the poor environmental conditions during the experiments.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139280434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decrease of energy usage is a top objective in the design of the settlements from an economic and environmental standpoint. Therefore, the design parameters affecting the energy consumptions in the settlement textures are evaluated with a holistic approach, both settlement scale and building scale. The study is focused to determine appropriate values for the design parameters. In addition, energy modelling and simulations were carried out with BIM software, and the use, advantages and capabilities of BIM systems were tested in the energy efficient design for reducing energy consumptions.

This research suggests a Model-In-The-Loop (MIL), Software-In-The-Loop (SIL), and Processor-In-The-Loop (PIL) methodologies-based complete prototyping strategy for flyback converters using the TI F28069M Launchpad kit. These techniques can be combined to evaluate control strategies accurately and quickly, speeding up design cycles and enhancing system reliability. The proposed prototyping platform is presented in this work, along with a thorough explanation of each prototyping stage and its associated advantages. The effectiveness of the suggested approach for 50W rated power flyback converter in terms of quick algorithm development, system simulation, real-time control implementation and controller design accuracy is analyzed and shown by experimental results. The results show that the performance of the designed controller for the flyback converter is almost the same as in MIL and SIL implementation in terms of the overshoot and settling time in the reference voltage tracking. On the other hand, in the PIL implementation, the overshoot performance of the controller deviates by 1.18% more than in SIL and MIL implementation. These also confirm that the flyback control system's performance is reliable and effective during all phases of development.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139301462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
