Loss Model Control for Efficiency Optimization and Advanced Sliding Mode Controllers with Chattering Attenuation for Five-Phase Induction Motor Drive by Hassen Moussa (19759911)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper proposes firstly a Second Order Sliding Mode Control (SOSMC) based on a Super Twisting Algorithm (STA) (SOSMC-STA) combined with a Direct Field-Oriented Control (DFOC) strategy of a Five-Phase Induction Motor (FPIM). The SOSMC-STA is suggested for overcoming the shortcomings of the Proportional Integral Controller (PIC) and the Conventional Sliding Mode Controller (CSMC). …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”
