Most accounts of responsibility begin from either of two prominent points of departure: the idea that an agent must have some characterological or expressive connection to the action, or alternately, the idea that an agent must be in some sense responsive to reasons.Here, I will argue that the relation between these two approaches to moral responsi
In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) using intelligent Lyapunov based adaptive fuzzy controller is designed for standalone microgrid having photovoltaic and wind turbines as primary sources, while battery storage system and diesel generator are available as secondary sources.Moreover, any pentair hose remnant power available in the syst
Abstract Heavy rainfall brought here by typhoons has been recognised as a major trigger of landslides in Taiwan.On average, 3.75 typhoons strike the island every year, and cause large amounts of shallow landslides and debris flow in mountainous region.Because landslide occurrence strongly corresponds to the storm dynamics, a reliable typhoon foreca
This study is concerned with the coordinated charging pattern of plugin electric vehicles (PEVs) by using a simulation and control framework.The first of these is to develop a novel control technique based on a grid structure to manage the charging power of PEVs in reaction to fluctuating renewable energy sources.The grid is assumed to control and
Global energy demand has increased continuously since the last few decades and it has been a critical issue especially in industrial sector.Heat exchanger network (HEN) has received considerable attention for improving heat recovery in industrial processes.In this work, HEN synthesis for multiperiod operation has been studied.Sequential and simulta
