Data assimilation (DA) combines incomplete background values obtained via chemical transport model predictions with observational information. Several 3-Dimensional variational (3DVAR) and sequential methods (e.g., ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF)) are...
Dynamic state estimation (DSE) for generators plays an important role in power system monitoring and control. Phasor measurement unit (PMU) has been widely utilized in DSE since it can acquire real-time synchronous data with high sampling frequency....
The effectiveness of snow data assimilation is closely related to the satellite data quality control that affects snow cover data used for assimilation and meteorological forcings that drive land surface model to estimate snow depth, especially over...
The Brazilian Northeast (BNE) is located in the tropical region of Brazil. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and its climate and vegetation are strongly affected by continental plateaus. The plateaus keep the humid air masses to the east and are r...
The use of alternative fuels derived from residues in energy-intensive industries that rely on fossil fuels can cause considerable energy cost savings, but also significant environmental benefits by conserving non-renewable resources and reducing was...
Renewable active sludge is a smart material for wastewater treatment and the protection of surface water bodies. The generated pellets (dried and pelletised dehydrated anaerobically stabilised excess sludge) are produced in a quantity of 31.4 ±...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) are important imaging modalities for the assessment and prognosis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). However, setting the findings from both into spatial and temporal conte...
Napier grass is a herbaceous biomass that can be used as biofuel; however, its high ash, potassium, sulfur and chlorine content may cause problems when combusted. Napier grass was submitted to vapothermal carbonization (VTC) and hydrothermal carboniz...
This paper validates and presents the efficiency and performance of Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) control as a mitigating control in managing risks of high volatility of electric current flows from the wind turbine generator to the distributed lo...
