The Implications of COVID-19 Pandemic on Indoor Environments: Balancing Environmental Considerations and Wellbeing in Higher Educational Facilities by Shoukry, Farah

“…With no particular order, such findings include: (1)There is perceived difficulty in benchmarking carbon footprint reporting across regional university campuses to accurately reflect campuses' scale, population, geography, and nature of operations, which questions the type of metrics used for benchmarking. (2) Universities represent a potential strong key-player in accelerating the carbon footprint reporting culture on a city scale. (3) By implementing low-carbon strategies, such as improving fan efficiencies, and giving occupants control over the thermostat; thermal comfort can be greatly improved in learning classrooms. (4) There are changing needs for both students and educators on what to consider for the design of a university classroom which was inspired by the COVID-19 experience. …”

A 3-phase Z-source inverter driven by a novel hybrid switching algorithm by Malengret, Jean-Claude

“…A novel DSP control algorithm allows the inverter toachieve the following:· Run Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SV-PWM) for maximum DCbus voltage utilization while boosting the DC bus during zero space vectorstates using shoot through.· Seamless transition between modulation control and modulation / shootthrough control.· Optimised efficiency and DC bus utilisation using Hybrid Space VectorBoost Pulse Width Modulation (HSVB PWM) which is unique to thisdissertation.Such a system is particularly suited to fuel cell and particularly wind turbineapplications where the DC bus voltage is varies over a wide range resulting inthe need for a DC to DC buck/boost to regulate the DC bus to maintain a steady3-phase sinusoidal output. …”
