Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficiency of Hybrid MPPT Techniques Based on ANN and PSO for Photovoltaic Systems under Partially Shading ConditionsMax Tatsuhiko Mitsuya, Anderson Alvarenga de Moura MenesesHybrid Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms have been investigated as an alternative to improve the performance of conventional MPPT, such as Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (InC) and Hill Climbing (HC) in Photovoltaic (PV) systems under Partially Shading Co+ndition (PSC). In the present article, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized with P&O algorithm for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2019 · 8,888 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReview on the use of FRP Composites for Facades and Building SkinsChiara BedonFiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of materials typically able to offer excellent mechanical, thermal and insulation properties, taking advantage of a combination of their constitutive fibers and polymers. Due to their intrinsic lightweight properties, FRP composites are in use for aerospace, automotive, marine industries and ballistic armor since several decades. Only in a subsequent phase, i.e. since … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 9,219 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDF Cite
