The transportation sector is experiencing a significant shift towards electrification, with electric motorcycles emerging as a vital component of this transformation in ASEAN countries, especially Thailand. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the design and simulation of an electric motorcycle driving control system that is tailored based on the demographic profile of the rider. By employing model-based system design methodology along with integrating demographic data into the control system, we can explore different software algorithms to enhance the safety, efficiency, and user experience of e-motorcycles, addressing the diverse needs and capabilities of riders. In this case, the driving modes were proposed and divided into 3 modes as Parental mode suitable for teenage drivers, Fun mode suitable for skill drivers, and Comfort mode for elders. Detail analysis of algorithms and electric motorcycles acceleration performance were also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Autonomous robotics and vehicles have a wide range of uses in self-driving cars as automation and electrification progress. Everywhere self-driving vehicles are trending in the automobile industry. Autopilot vehicles are changing innovation in the automobile industry with the best technologies. An important part of autopilot vehicles is the navigation system. While making or using autopilot vehicles, safety is the most important criterion for everyone. Finding the lanes and the curves is crucial for self-driving cars to function properly. The car can be driven more safely with the use of lane and curve detection. In this paper, we introduced a novel preprocessing method openCV. In preprocessing stage, the HUV color transform is employed to extract the white features and add preliminary edge feature detection. Then, the ROI is selected using the proposed preprocessing technique. This new preprocessing method is used to detect the lane. The performance of proposed method is evaluated using the standard KITTI road database. The results obtained are superior to the existing preprocessing and ROI selection techniques. The proposed model finds the road's perfect boundaries to monitor it as a lane occurs in real-time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The government of India introduce many programs for village electrification, as more than 70% of Indian population are living in the villages. Today villages are the major stockholder for economic growth of India. The major challenges for village electrification are grid connectivity and reliability of grid for providing un-power supply 24/7 to each household. In this paper, we are discussing the implementation of Hybrid isolated microgrid based on Bio-mass and Solar. The availability of Bio-mass is more feasible from animal wastage, agricultural wastage and as well as food wastage. These all wastage are used as a fuel for Bio-mass power plant for electrical generation. The Bio-mass plant is integrated with solar power plant to fulfil the 24/7 demand. In this, we are discussing basic model of isolated microgrid along with economical parameters for each house electrification in village. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Even though conversion of oil based fuel (Bahan Bakar Minyak) into gas fuel (Bahan Bakar Gas) for transportation (both land and sea) is one of the priority programs of the government of Indonesia, rules that have been established merely basic rules of gas fuel usage license for transportation, without discussing position of gas fuel related to oil based fuel in detail. This paper focus on possible strategic behavior of the key players in the oil-gas fuel conversion game, who will be impacted by the position of gas fuel as complement or substitution of oil based fuel. These players include industry of oil based fuel, industry of gas fuel, and the government. Modeling is made based on two different conditions: government plays a passive role and government plays an active role in legislating additional rules that may benefit industry of gas fuel. Results obtained under a passive government is that industry of oil based fuel need to accommodate the presence of industry of gas fuel, and industry of gas fuel does not kill/ eliminate the oil based fuel, or gas fuel serves as a complement. While in an active government, the industry of oil based fuel need to increase its negotiation spending in the first phase so that the additional rule that benefitting industry of gas fuel would not be legislated, while industry of gas fuel chooses to indifferent; however, in the last stage, gas fuel turned to be competitive or choose its role to be substitution.

Indonesia government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, in the beginning of year 2016, introduced a program named "Indonesia Terang" or Bright Indonesia. The aimed of this program is to speed up Electrification Rate (ER) with priority to the six provinces at Eastern area of Indonesia including Papua Province. The target of Indonesian's ER by 2019 is 97%. While the Indonesian's national ER already high (88.30%) in 2015, Papua still the lowest ER (45.93%) among the provinces. The scenario to boost up ER in the Eastern area by connected the consumers at villages which not electrified yet to the new Renewable Energy sources. This paper presents an overview of current situation of Electricity Infrastructure and Operation particularly on the mountain area which has high populated compare to coastal area but the average RE below 10%. Case studies of electricity infrastructure profile from mountain area were conducted to identify and reveal the challenge to achieve the Bright Indonesia objectives. Also, the assessment of the visibility according to the high target from this program will be presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiresponse semiparametric regression is simultaneous equation regression model and fusion of parametric and nonparametric model. The regression model comprise several models and each model has two components, parametric and nonparametric. The used model has linear function as parametric and polynomial truncated spline as nonparametric component. The model can handle both linearity and nonlinearity relationship between response and the sets of predictor variables. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the application of the regression model for modeling of effect of regional socio-economic on use of information technology. More specific, the response variables are percentage of households has access to internet and percentage of households has personal computer. Then, predictor variables are percentage of literacy people, percentage of electrification and percentage of economic growth. Based on identification of the relationship between response and predictor variable, economic growth is treated as nonparametric predictor and the others are parametric predictors. The result shows that the multiresponse semiparametric regression can be applied well as indicate by the high coefficient determination, 90 percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the electrification of chemically identical spherical particles by collision is experimentally investigated in an ambient of Nitrogen gas. It is found that a particle carries net charges after collision with another particle, and the net charge is related to the diameter ratio and relative velocity between the two particles. The particle with larger diameter carries positive net charge after collision. A maximum net charge carried by the particle is found for a diameter ratio of 0.5-0.7 under a given relative velocity. The net charge increases then decreases with the increase of relative velocity under a given diameter ratio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PV Off-Grid systems have demonstrated to be a good solution for the electrification of remote areas [1]. A hybrid system is one kind of these systems. The principal characteristic is that it uses PV as the main generator and has a backup power supply, like a diesel generator, for instance, that is used when the CPV generation is not enough to meet demand. To study the use of CPV in these systems, ISFOC has installed a demonstration hybrid system at its headquarters. This hybrid system uses CPV technology as main generator and the utility grid as the backup generator. A group of batteries have been mounted as well to store the remaining energy from the CPV generator when nedeed. The energy flows are managed by a SMA system based on Sunny Island inverters and a Multicluster-Box (figure 1). The Load is the air-conditioning system of the building, as it has a consumption profile higher than the CPV generator and can be controlled by software [2]. The first results of this system, as well as the first chances of improvement, as the need of a bigger CPV generator and a better management of the energy stored in the batteries, are presented in this paper.

Generation of contact electrification or tribo-charging consists of two processes as (1) contact and charge transfer, and (2) separation and charge fixation. To discuss the rate process of charge development the process (1) is important but process (2) is also important to discuss the maximum or equilibrium charge held by a particle. Especially in normal air, the amount of charge held by a single particle can be limited due to gas discharge. This limitation has been discussed in the relationship between Paschen’s gas breakdown limit and potential curve of particle surface in the vicinity of metal target. In the previous works, estimated maximum charges and results of experiments using single particles showed good agreements. On the other hand, „modified Paschen‟ attracted interest recently, for micro-gap discharge region, in which such gas breakdown between particle and metal target in such contact and separation process can take place. In this paper, the maximum charge held by a single particle as a function of particle size is discussed in details, with comparing the cases using conventional Paschen curve and modified Paschen to give the gas breakdown limit potential. The results showed a 50 µm as a critical particle size to transfer maximum charge determined by conventional Paschen to modified Paschen. However, a few experimental reports (in citations) showed higher gas breakdown resistivity in such micro-gap range less than 5µm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
