Optimal Battery Charging Schedule for a Battery Swapping Station of an Electric Bus With a PV Integration Considering Energy Costs and Peak-to-Average Ratio

IEEE Access
Across the globe, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly in mass transit systems such as electric buses (E-bus), is on the rise in modern cities. This surge is attributed to their environmentally friendly nature, zero carbon emissions, and

The combined influence of different compositions of grinding media and surfactants on the efficiency of the clinker grinding process

Вестник Дагестанского государственного технического университета: Технические науки
Objective. Currently, cement is crushed in mills to a specific surface area of 2500-3000 and 3500-4500 cm2/g or more. Further grinding of clinker sharply worsens the properties of the resulting product.

Cortical Cell Diameter Is Key To Energy Costs of Root Growth in Wheat1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2019
Genotypic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in root cortical cell diameter play key roles in reducing energy costs of root growth under high soil penetration resistance. Root growth requires substantial amounts of energy and thus carbohydrates.

The Energy Costs of Historic Preservation [PDF]

, 2017
We explore the impact of historical preservation policies on domestic energy consumption. Using panel data for England from 2006 to 2013 and employing a fixed effects strategy, we document that (i) rising national energy prices induce an increase in home
