The advancements in real-time processing and computing power made searching for new approach regarding energy systems possible. Some former solutions are partial, exceeded, or unclear like smart grid, enernet, and microgrid. In our turn, we proposed another view to the energy systems and, at the same time, a holistic vision, and an analogy with the autonomous functioning of the biological cells. In our view, the energy systems must be thought firstly as part of the nature; secondly the system must be conceived as a whole that includes consumers, generators, storage facilities, metering infrastructures, grids and rules; thirdly, to get safety and efficiency it must be modular/cellular and able to do its best as well as part of an ensemble as well as stand alone. To achieve this final require we have made an analogy with the DNA of the biological cell, and the result are the so-called Intelligent Energy Cells/Systems. Because the arrival of carbon-free energy in the future will be done through the massive use of solar energy, the advantages of this intermittent and fluctuating energy are presented, too.","PeriodicalId":184970,"journal":{"name":"New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 15","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123332240","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}

In order to make the production process more efficient, it was approached the automatic realization of the programs for numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools based on the characteristics of the features that make up the part.

The performance of structural elements is well appreciated, when their ability to absorb and dissipate energy by post elastic deformations subjected to several cycles of these loading are naturally imbedded at low cost. Ductility of flexural element is the only chief governing property for healthy performance of structural element. Although numerous factors contribute towards ductility of Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (RGPC), low calcium-based fly ash and GGBS have chemical proportions which make RGPC develop significant ductility along with steel reinforcement, when they are mixed in an intelligent way satisfying structural and economic conditions. In the present research work influence of low calcium fly ash, GGBS, River sand, M-sand, Steel Grade, manufactured fibers and natural fibers on ductile behavior of RGPC are studied by load testing 51 under reinforced flexural elements. Similar tests done by other researchers on the flexural ductilites of Ordinary Portland Cement based flexural elements indicate Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete Structural Elements are highly comparable and appreciated.","PeriodicalId":184970,"journal":{"name":"New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 15","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127411425","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 research examines the ventilation system for thermal comfort in residential buildings in a selected government housing estate in south-west Nigeria. In view of this, the study identifies the landscape elements and the level of interest and desirability of users about the use of landscape elements in their environments. There has been little investigation into the mechanisms of ventilation for thermal comfort in residential buildings. According to the survey results, while establishing natural ventilation through such mechanism, 78.0 percent were windows, 12.5 percent soft landscape elements, and 9.5 percent were a mix of window and courtyard. As a result, the study indicated that windows of appropriate size and landscape elements should be used to improve natural ventilation in residential buildings.","PeriodicalId":184970,"journal":{"name":"New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 15","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130973543","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}

In the majority of cases, either the plant model is incorrectly established or the plant characteristics are subject to change over time. In addition, most applications demand both good tracking and good disturbance rejection, which are two competing objectives. The controller must account for parameter fluctuations as well as ensure stable performance in the face of external disturbances, necessitating a robust control approach to controller design. To achieve the robustness requirements, a classical PID controller with no robustness requirements is supplemented with H optimization based gain tuning. The H(infty) optimization approach is used to develop a PID controller in this research. PID controller does not inherently provide enough robustness to internal and external disturbances. Different performance goals for tracking and disturbance rejection are defined and PID gains are tuned to meet the goals in H(infty) sense. For modelling and simulation, a commercial Maxon RE35 motor is chosen.","PeriodicalId":184970,"journal":{"name":"New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 15","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124334684","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}

Copper is widely used as a material for electrical contacts on account of its high electrical and thermal conductivities, low cost and ease of fabrication. By stirring molten alloy to obtain vortex using a steel stirrer covered with alumina and rotating at 500 rpm, composites of copper alloy containing 0–8 weight percent WC were manufactured utilising the liquid metallurgical approach. The experimental results demonstrated that as the WC content in the composites increases, the density of the composites increases, which is consistent with the values calculated using the mixtures rule. Cu–WC composites' hardness and ultimate tensile strength improved as the WC concentration in the matrix increased, while ductility decreased. For ultimate tensile strength and hardness, a model analysis of composites was performed, and it was discovered that the approximate mechanics of materials prediction Paul model is consistent with experimental results. The experimental values were consistent with the theoretical results of electrical resistivity of composites estimated using the P.G Klemens model.","PeriodicalId":184970,"journal":{"name":"New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 15","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123299774","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}
