Developing solar-powered electric bus networks in high-density cities can greatly mitigate their increasing energy and environmental challenges such as carbon emission, street-level air pollution, and renewable penetration to the power grid. However, such solar-powered electric bus networks face a charging control issue that is caused by the severe and frequent mismatch between PV power generation and bus charging demand. Without proper consideration of this mismatch, renewable energy generation...

New Law Will Extended, Expand and Increase Federal Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit to New Technologies, Fuels, and Energy Users.

Articulated loaders, excavators, rollers, and cranes are important construction tools and have been upgraded and improved with new technologies like 3D animations, load weighting, and...

Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in power grid blackouts globally. In July 2012, over 700 million people in India were affected by grid blackout; 20 of the 28 Indian states suffered the power outage and this blackout was one of the world’s worst grid outages. Such power grid blackouts have been reported in Brazil (1999), in the USA and Canada (August 2003), in Russia (2005), and many more places. To avoid such power grid blackouts, the load frequency is desired to be const...

Wanjiku Kanjumba broke all barriers to become the first Kenyan Scientist-Astronaut candidate to graduate from the Advanced PoSSUM Space Academy, USA, program.

Ready for a paradigm shift? Not since the invention of the horseless carriage and the electric light bulb have Americans faced such radical changes in how they travel or power their homes. In years to come, skyrocketing gasoline prices could pressure citizens to either buy electric cars or use public transportation. The migration away from fossil fuels to renewables also will mandate new ways to deliver power to customers, including setting up “microgrids” of neighborhoods — area...

Abstract This article investigates the adaptive resilient event-triggered control for rear-wheel-drive autonomous (RWDA) vehicles based on an iterative single critic learning framework, which can effectively balance the frequency/changes in adjusting the vehicles control during the running process. According to the kinematic equation of RWDA vehicles and the desired trajectory, the tracking error system during the autonomous driving process is first built, where the denial-of-service (DoS) atta...
