Big data analysis is becoming an increasing field of interest for research to analyse, identify and predict final user's behaviour. For this reason, in the energy sector, smart metering is generally used to find new business opportunities and,…
As the risk associated with wildfires in the western United States increases every year, it becomes fundamental to research alternatives to both improve the resilience and reliability of engineering systems against those types of events, as well as…
This paper is based on the premise that the principal purpose of science and technological development should be the well-being of society in harmony with environmental sustainability. Vaclav Smil [1] argues “commonly used measures of energy use – be…
The continuous population increase in many developing and developed countries leads to an increase in CO2 and SO2 emissions and oil consumption at an alarming rate in many sectors, mainly the transportation sector. As a result, natural gas is rapidly…
Industrial Control System (ICS) used in critical infrastructure like energy sector, oil and natural gas, chemical processing, waste water treatment etc. are of great importance since it serves to a larger population and hence termed as National…
Across the natural world, many species have evolved methods for amplifying their decision-making accuracy by thinking together in real-time closed-loop systems. Known as Swarm Intelligence (SI) in the field of biology, the process has been deeply…
RNA-GA with whale search based LSSVMs is proposed for modeling multivariable systems. Inspired by whale behavior, the RNA-GA with the search adopts whale shrinking encircling and the spiral update strategies to enhance the local search ability, and…
Fractionation of crude oil in crude distillation unit (CDU) is an energy intensive process. Fractionation is carried out based on the cutpoint temperatures, i.e., the tray temperature of the CDU at which a product stream is separated. Rigorous…
Different attempts have been made so far all over the world for a cleaner and greener environment. Waste management is the need of an hour. To make the country a better place to live in, it should be made smarter. To view the locality a litter free…
The continuous population increase in many developing and developed countries leads to an increase in CO2 and SO2 emissions and oil consumption at an alarming rate in many sectors, mainly the transportation sector. As a result, natural gas is rapidly…
Deeper decarbonization of the transport sector requires building a wide coverage electric vehicle charging network that can meet driver's mobility patterns and refueling habits in a seamless manner. Currently, major market players mainly deploy…
Controlling and defensive the higher air greatness has gotten one in everything about first imperative occasions in different creating and metropolitan districts at the present. The greatness of air is adversely contacting collectible to the…
To achieve net-zero in the transportation sector, there is a need to deploy public electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers to boost customer confidence. Currently, charge point operators and EV manufacturers focus on deploying chargers to cover highway…
Hazardous materials transportation is risky and an accident at any point of route can lead to severe consequences including fatalities, injuries, and environmental degradation. Routing hazardous materials is one of the main strategies to reduce the…
