This study explores the fabrication and performance analysis of ultra-thin III-V solar cells using indium phosphide (InP) epitaxial wafers through two approaches: substrate thinning via lapping and thermocompression bonding. The thinning method reduced the substrate thickness to 160 μm, while the bonding process achieved a final thickness of 0.9 μm. ...

High penetration of photovoltaic (PV) sources causes volatility in distribution networks, challenging conventional operational strategies. This study introduces a multi-objective optimization framework using a Stabilized Genetic Algorithm (SGA) that co-optimizes daily energy losses and switching asset depreciation over typical and extreme loading scenarios. Contradicting common assumptions, results show that zero ...

This study forecasts electricity demand for Vietnam’s data center sector through 2030 in the context of rapid digitalization and the accelerating adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), both of which are expected to exert significant pressure on national power infrastructure. Using a baseline IT load of 524.7 MW in 2025 derived ...

The laboratory can be seen as an environment where students can enhance their skills by transferring theoretical knowledge into practice.

Full-duplex non-orthogonal multiple access wireless networks with energy harvesting have the potential to improve spectral efficiency and save energy. However, wireless signals are susceptible to eavesdropping by other devices within their coverage area. This paper studies the security performance of a full-duplex non-orthogonal multiple access wireless network with energy harvesting ...

In electronic circuits that use various integrated circuits (ICs), ICs may malfunction while assembled, used, and repaired. There are numerous ways to verify that ICs are operating, such as by measuring basic current and voltage with a VOM meter. However, many sophisticated operations are hard to measure and test, and ...

The rising demand for automation in agriculture and manufacturing necessitates efficient, cost-effective sorting systems to replace labor-intensive manual processes. This paper introduces an innovative system integrating a Siemens S7-1200 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), LabVIEW-based image processing, and OPC (OLE for Process Control) communication for automated tomato sorting. Utilizing real-time vision ...

The paper analyzes the radial distribution power system with the series connection of FACTS devices, which is easily implemented using a formula from the power flow equation (PFE - power flow equation) with the voltage magnitude and power flow on the lines are treated as independent variables. When control variables ...

This paper presents a method for liquid level stabilization using a fuzzy logic algorithm implemented on the PLC S7-1200. Maintaining liquid levels accurately is a critical requirement in various industrial processes to ensure safety, efficiency, and consistent product quality. The proposed approach employs fuzzy logic to manage the inherent nonlinearities ...

As fossil fuel resources are gradually depleting, countries are increasingly focusing on developing renewable energy as a sustainable alternative. A trend is the shift of the energy market towards a decentralized model, where renewable energy can be traded flexibly. This is partly evidenced by the rise of blockchain-based solutions in ...

This paper is devoted to guiding parents in organizing classrooms and bedrooms for their children, ensuring that they have the most reasonable position to rest and study. That is how to design, arrange, and select items in a room to serve two children of the same sex, aged from 6 ...

This research investigates the effectiveness of three Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms—Incremental Conductance (IC), Perturb and Observe (P&O), and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)—in optimizing power output in grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) systems. Each algorithm was tested under varying environmental conditions, focusing on performance in terms of energy extraction, stability, and ...
