A GIS-MOPSO integrated method for optimal design of grid-connected HRES for educational buildings (2020)
Book Chapter

In this paper, an optimal design of a grid-connected PV-battery-hydrogen hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) at a University campus in Ouargla, Algeria is carried out. To achieve this goal, geographical information system (GIS), CAD software and mu... Read More about A GIS-MOPSO integrated method for optimal design of grid-connected HRES for educational buildings.

A de-risked bio-inspired condylar prosthetic knee joint for a robotic leg test rig (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design of the human knee joint has been a challenging task due to the presence of intricate parts, complex mechanisms and their interdependence which joins them together. A bio-inspired design for the condylar knee joint has been proposed in earl... Read More about A de-risked bio-inspired condylar prosthetic knee joint for a robotic leg test rig.

Application of machine learning towards design optimisation of bio-inspired transfemoral prosthetic socket for robotic leg test rig (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the past century many medical advancements in prosthetics have been achieved, however, discomfort in prosthetic socket remains one of the toughest challenges faced by both amputees and prosthetists. Wearing an uncomfortable socket can lead to user...

Bias compensation-based parameter and state estimation for a class of time-delay non-linear state-space models (2020)
Journal Article

This study presents, based on bias compensation, an integrated parameter and state estimation algorithm for a class of time-delay non-linear systems which are described by canonical observable state-space model. In technical development, the state-sp... Read More about Bias compensation-based parameter and state estimation for a class of time-delay non-linear state-space models.

Scaling up self-stratifying supercapacitive microbial fuel cell (2020)
Journal Article

Self-stratifying microbial fuel cells with three different electrodes sizes and volumes were operated in supercapacitive mode. As the electrodes size increased, the equivalent series resistance decreased, and the overall power was enhanced (small: ES...
