Monitoring and Forecasting in Construction Projects Using Time Buffer
Abstract: The key to project management is effective performance monitoring and forecasting. The existing methods using input- output cash flow, earned value, etc. do not differentiate between work done on the critical path and work done on non-critical paths. Such methods mask the real situation and mislead the project team because progress on one path often compensate for the delay in other. The paper proposes a more effective method to facilitate …

Finite Difference Analysis of Plane Couette Flow using MATLAB
Abstract: AbstractInternal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence, the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. An internal flow is constrained by the bounding walls, and the viscous effects will grow and meet and permeate the entire flow. Some examples of internal flows are flow between two parallel horizontal plates, Couette flow, plane poiseuille flow, flow through pipes, etc. In …

Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation Switching Technique based Single Phase Inverter
Abstract: This paper discusses about the inverter which transfers power from DC source to AC load side. Inverters are usually used in motor drive, static var compensators, uninterruptible power supplies (ups), etc. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is used because the total harmonics distortion is low as compared with other techniques. The switching scheme of sinusoidal PWM permits control of the frequency and the magnitude of the output. This switching scheme …

Maximum Power Point Tracking of a Variable Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Energy Conversion System
Abstract: Wind turbines produce maximum power at the optimal tip-speed ratio. Fixed speed wind turbines are inefficient because the turbine blades rotate at a specific mechanical speed irrespective of the prevailing wind speed. The system is therefore, not able to extract the maximum possible amount of power. In this work, a maximum power point tracking scheme for a variable-speed permanent magnet synchronous generator based wind energy conversion system is implemented in …

Wire Network Survivability for Upgraded Consistency in Smart Power Grids
Abstract: Power transmission system infrastructures transmit energy over a long distance and are essential to the operation of urban society. These configurations progressively reflect highly coupled cyber-physical structures where automated telecommunications networks are used to transmit status and control details to power transmission grid elements, i.e. smart grids. However, due to the high degree of interdependence between the contact and power grid layers, malfunction incidents may contribute to more loss of …

Integration of Electrical Vehicles in Demands Response Program
Abstract: Demand Response (DR) schemes can benefit greatly from the assistance that Electric Vehicles can offer (EVs). Electric vehicles (EVs) can operate as a burden on the grid, a source of electricity for the grid, or a form of energy storage. Utilities are able to regulate EV charging time and tariffs, collect EVs-specific metre data, and conduct DR programmes as a result of the smart grid enabling technology. In order to …
