This paper deals with a comparative analysis carried out on two types of PV panels widely spread on the market: polycrystalline and thin-film (CIS technology). The research was focused on the performance evaluation of the studied PV panels in real operation conditions. In this context the influence of different parameters (temperature, solar irradiance and shadowing effect) on panels' performance...
This paper presents a Robotics laboratory conceived for the Electrical Engineering students. The laboratory work comprises two stages - a preliminary one, in which they apply Robotics concepts by means of ready to use platforms, and a second one, when the students are engaged in a complex project, whose goal is to develop their own platform. There are detailed the work stages, emphasizing both the...
e-Learning, with its various aspects, represents a major trend in education. This paper presents a solution to extend the traditional multiple choice tests to effectively graphic design of calculus equations for an electric workshop. Equation built procedure was augmented using animated pedagogical agents to increase the effectiveness of learning and practical skills and improve the attractive aspect...
This paper presents the hardware and software structures of a proposed data acquisition and processing system, which is designated to perform an automated inspection of roads pavement condition. The system was designed to gather information from multiple sources - laser-based imaging systems for road profiling, cameras for environmental images, proximity sensors, all information being spatially correlated...
A solution to improve the lower overall photo-voltaic panel efficiency is to provide it with a forced cooling system. In this way a hybrid conversion device is derived and electric and thermal energies are obtained simultaneously. To model such system, two major and different components should be considered: solar cells and cooling radiator. The main purpose of this paper is to study the electrical...
This paper describes a system for power supply, monitoring, control and communication for isolated temporary habitats. The system described consists in six modules and offers all the necessary equipment in order to operate a fully functional camp.
Research in e-Learning, Micro Learning and all activities where ITC and multimedia are implied in the process of learning brought a significant debate on the utility of narration in the process. Far from intended to solve this discussion, this paper is about the use of animated agents in presentation integrated with LabVIEW with the benefit of Data Acquisition and Virtual Instrumentation for activities...
Applications in Field Robotics often require synchronous acquiring various environment information using multiple sensors and devices, including digital cameras. For such applications, this paper proposes a software architecture that is designed to cope with large amount of mixed type data, acquired with various sample times, and gathered from multiple sensors and sensing devices. By allowing the...
