Key factors for determining the locations of industrial plants in an industrial estate are related to total investment cost, which pertains to land, building, energy, and facilities that are built into the system. However, existing studies are scarce, therefore in this study, we develop a model for determining the plant-layout assignment in an exemplified industrial estate. The single-objective Mixed Integer Linear Optimization Programming (MILP) approach isused to evaluate cost minimization under a number of confining requirements. The model is verified through the demonstrated case study using an area of the industrial estate by classifying the factory types into 4 categories, which are 1) toxic-related industry, 2) general industry, 3) warehouse, and 4) office center (i.e. safe zone). The initial results illustrate that industrial plants in an industrial estate that are found close to the office zone with respect to the desired cost minimization.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115282747","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}

A proposed parallel 2-phase boost converter with interleaving algorithm is selected to step-up a low output dc voltage of fuel cell to a utilized dc grid level. Using the MFC approach, we put forward simple solutions to nonlinear control problems in power electronics domain. To corroborate the proposed scheme, a dc/dc power converter (2.5-kW two-modules in parallel) is implemented in the laboratory. The studied control law based on the MFC characteristic is realized by fully digital calculation in a dSPACE MicroLabBox platform.

A hollow metallic rectangular waveguide (HMRW) that operates near its cut-off frequency of the fundamental TE10 mode is used to mimic the ENZ metamaterial, allowing the wave to tunnel through the waveguide with an effectively infinite phase-velocity. As a waveguide transition, the ENZ waveguide directly interconnects HMRW and microstrip in the same plane with a minimum insertion loss of 0.7 dB at the 33.06 GHz, overcoming the significant impedance mismatch and geometry difference between HMRW and Microstrip. As a bandpass filter, the design has a near-flat passband with the minimum insertion loss of 0.7 dB and a bandwidth of 1.31 GHz centered at 32.96 GHz, which leads to a Q-factor of 25.17. The work offers a step towards a novel dual-function waveguide transition and bandpass filter that can be used in a variety of functional components for millimeter-wave multichip modules and hybrid integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132704805","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}

Yaw rate and vehicle sideslip rate are used as a control parameter in PID controller to determine motor torques and brake pressures. Brake force is applied at each wheel whenever motor brake torque is activated. With the contribution of AB, overall required motor torques for countering yaw moment are drastically reduced in four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle while similar stability performance can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131436911","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}
