Simulation, Planning and Operational Platform for Emergency Management Systems II (SIMPLANEMS II)- Publications

CSTEP undertook a project to develop a platform that would help model the scale and impact of disasters and provide analysis, tools and exercises to handle it.

An approach to regional planning in India- Publications

Urbanisation in India today is synonymous with booming unplanned and unsustainable mega cities.

Sustaining Engineering Informatics: Toward Methods and Metrics for Digital Curation- Publications

Ensuring the long-term usability of engineering informatics (EI) artifacts is a challenge, particularly for products with longer lifecycles than the computing hardware and software used for their design and manufacture.

The Flip Side of Metcalfe’s Law: Multiple and Growing Costs of Network Exclusion- Publications

The study of networks and network science has grown in the last decade, but most network models fail to capture the costs or loss of value of exclusion from the network.

Analytical derivation of equivalent functional form of explicit J-V model of an illuminated solar cell from physics based implicit model- Publications

Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent the J–V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent as j = (1 − vm)/(1 + αv), here the normalized voltage, v and normalized current density j can be represented as v = V/Voc and j = J/Jsc respectively, whereVoc is the open circuit voltage and Jsc is the short circuit current density.

IT Analysis and Roadmap for HESCOM- Publications

In this report, we examine current and proposed IT initiatives being undertaken by HESCOM, and suggest changes in the technology design as well as a roadmap for IT initiatives.

Analytical derivation of explicit J–V model of a solar cell from physics based implicit model- Publications

Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent the J–V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent as vm + jn = 1.

Moving from Li to Na ion intercalation battery: electronic charge transfer mechanism in cathodes studied with ab-initio methods- Publications

Sodium intercalation batteries might prove to be a viable alternative of lithium ion batteries, which is both expensive and in short supply due to unavailability of lithium.

Correlation Between Central Receiver Size and Solar Field Using Flat Heliostats- Publications

In Central Receiver Systems (CRSs), thousands of heliostats track the sunrays and reflect beam radiation on to a receiver surface.

Guest Editorial: Special issue on Engineering Informatics- Publications

The paper titled “Engineering Complex, Information-based,Networked Industrial Systems: A Research Roadmap” by Albert Jones et al argues for a new and different approach to design and understand what they termed as complex information-based networked industrial _CINI_ systems.
