Data Science for Environmental Modelling
Abstract: Abstract: Soil moisture is a critical Earth system variable linking atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological processes. However, observations are sparse and fragmented: in situ gauges provide point data, satellite missions (SMAP, SMOS, Sentinel-1) offer broad coverage at coarse resolutionQ, and land‐surface models (GLDAS, ERA5, etc.) yield estimates with their own biase. Here we propose a conceptual framework for integrated environmental data modelling, combining rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture information with machine …

Rural electrification through micro-grid design case study
Abstract: We introduce the design and experimental demonstration of a scalable DC micro-grid for rural electrification in the developing regions. The distributed control of the grid voltage is one of the main features of the DC micro-grid architecture, which allows both instantaneous power sharing and a metric for available grid power. A droop-voltage power-sharing scheme is utilized wherein the bus voltage decreases in response to low supply/high demand. Besides that, the …
