Feasibility Study and Optimal Placement of Solar Power Plants Using Binary Genetic Algorithm
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study introduces an integrated optimization framework using a binary genetic algorithm (BGA) for optimal siting and sizing of two solar plants (865 and 739 kWp) in Karaj, Iran. The BGA outperformed conventional methods, achieving a 24.3% reduction in power losses and enhanced voltage stability.

An Innovative Rural Heating System Utilizing Coupled Cascade Thermal Storage: A Performance Analysis
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Fig. 1. New rural heating system ABSTRACT This study presents a new rural heating system based on cascaded heat storage and air‐source heat pumps. Through a comparative analysis using the TRNSYS software between this system and the traditional solar‐assisted air‐source heat pump system, it was found that compared with the latter, the new system saves ...

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two large‐scale experiments investigated fire spread mechanisms in vegetation ground fires in a pine forest and an agricultural field within the European TREEADS project. The tests, conducted in Saxony‐Anhalt and Brandenburg, targeted regions with dry, sandy soils and extensive pine stands and aim to improve suppression strategies and wildfire

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.The proposed work implements a direct flux reconstruction method for spatial discretization and a stiffness‐resilient exponential time integration method for temporal discretization on the cube‐sphere grid. A space‐time tensor formalism is employed to provide a general representation in any curvilinear coordinate system. This combination enables highly

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reservoir‐based irrigation schemes (RBISs) have been developed to minimize the adverse effects of moisture stress and improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in semi‐arid regions. However, many RBISs perform below expectations. A multistage expert elicitation approach and an indicator‐based Sustainability Assessment of Food and ...

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...
