Parking lot reservation service based on multi-agent systems[ ]


In most of today's major cities, the search for parking spaces is an increasingly frequent problem. It has been shown that the average time required to find an on-street parking space is eight minutes. In addition, traffic problems in the city are generally caused by cars that travel to park. The concept of the smart city implies the use of technology for the collection, processing and transmission of information. In this paper we will pre-sent an indoor parking system based on the Internet of Things and multi-agent systems that will allow drivers to book their parking spacesand benefit from other services easily.

Simulation and Analysis Effect of Distribution Transformer Energizing on Electrical Power Quality[ ]


Power transformers are critical components of the electricity networks. The energizing of large power transformers has long been consid-ered a critical event in the operation of an electric power system. When a transformer is energized by the utility, a typical inrush current could be as high as ten times its rated current. This could cause many problems from mechanical stress on transformer windings to har-monics injection, and system protection malfunction.

The SQL vs NoSQL Differences and Similarities[ ]


The conventional SQL database is portrayed in the conventional DBMS, which guarantees the respectability of information and consistent connections. For some product development, these are the standards of an appropriate DBMS. However, over the most recent couple of years, seeing the speed of information development and the absence of assistance from conventional databases for this problem, the Not Only SQL (NOSQL) databases were created.

Optimum Impacts of Renewable Energy Generation on Voltage Dip and Voltage Profile in a Distribution Network[ ]


Growth in electrical energy demanded is not the sole reason to consider for an alternative energy supply options, aside from the fact that initial capital of a conventional power generation methods is higher, most of the conventional methods of electrical energy generation using coal, fossil fuels etc, are producing carbon dioxide when burned to generate energy. Human-induced climate change is already being blamed for the higher-than-usual incidence of extremely damaging weather experiences such as global warming, etc. Renewable energy generation (REG) are sustainable energy supply options and environmentally friendly that can significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels, carbon dioxide induction and environmental risk caused by the conventional energy generation.
