Techno-Economic Analysis of Packed Bed Type Thermal Batteries for Surplus Renewable Energy Storage
Abstract: Low carbon electricity from renewables will form the bed rock of the energy transition necessary for climate change mitigation. However, variable renewable generators suffer from intermittency and variability – there can be large surplus power available at times which cannot be dispatched to the grid. At many times, the practice is to curtail surplus renewable output, which is wasteful and not economic. There are also phases when generation is not …

Flexural Behavior of Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The operational health of the road network is of the utmost importance for economic and social life. Fatigue life is affected by the growth and accumulation of cracks, under the action of repeated vehicular loading, aging and effect of the environment. The flexural behavior of asphalt concrete depends mainly on the flexibility of the pavement mixture which deteriorate gradually with time. Recycling could be a suitable action to reserve such …

Effect of encroaching vehicles on capacity of signalized intersections in mixed traffic conditions
Abstract: This paper estimates capacity of signalized intersections in heterogeneous traffic conditions considering the effect of encroaching vehicles. Accurate estimation of capacity of signalized intersections plays vital role in evaluating performance of whole road network. In the present paper two sets of saturation flow values are estimated separately by considering and not considering the effect of encroaching vehicles. Also, the capacity of the signalized intersections is found considering the effect of …
