Volume 3, Issue 6 - 4 Articles
This issue explores four significant research papers addressing key challenges in renewable energy, electrical safety, network education, and vehicular networks. The first study improves wind power forecasting for Senegal’s Taïba Ndiaye wind farm using machine learning. The second paper proposes a safer microwave-based water heating method to prevent electrocution risks in bathing appliances. The third study evaluates network simulation tools for educational purposes, comparing their effectiveness in teaching computer networks. The fourth paper introduces a new simulation tool for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), focusing on energy efficiency in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. These diverse works demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary research in solving complex technological challenges, offering innovative solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in our increasingly connected world.

Using Artificial Intelligence Models to Predict the Wind Power to be fed into the Grid
by Sambalaye Diop, Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye and Issa Zerbo
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page # 1-9, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0306001
Abstract: The Taïba Ndiaye wind farm, connected to the SENELEC grid, plays a key role in offsetting shortfalls in electricity consumption, with an installed capacity of 158.7 MW. Moreover, as an intermittent power station, its production is highly dependent on the environmental conditions in the region. Bad weather can disrupt the electricity network, requiring forecasting methods… Read More

Microwave and Microcontroller Technology to Achieve Warm Water Bathing
by Prashobh Karunakaran, Mohammad Shahril Osman and Badrul Hisham Hossain
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page # 10-17, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0306002
Abstract: Using electricity to heat up water was among the first uses of electricity by Thomas Edison and the electric kettle has become ubiquitous. But the possible electrocution of humans is low in the above but not so in the bathing water heater where the heating element through which up to 3.6 kW of electricity flows… Read More

Educational Applications and Comparative Analysis of Network Simulators: Protocols, Types, and Performance Evaluation
by Nikolaos V. Oikonomou and Dimitrios V . Oikonomou
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page # 18-32, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0306003
Abstract: This work explores the role of simulation in computer networks, discussing various network types, communication protocols, and the utilization of network simulators, with a focus on educational settings. We specifically analyze and compare five prominent network simulators: Cisco Packet Tracer, Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition, GNS3, NS-3, and Mininet. These tools are examined in terms of… Read More

SimulatorBridger: System for Monitoring Energy Efficiency of Electric Vehicles in Real-World Traffic Simulations
by Reham Almutairi, Giacomo Berg and Graham Morgan
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page # 33-40, 2024; DOI: 10.55708/js0306004
Abstract: The increasing popularity and attention in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have prompted researchers to develop accurate and realistic simulation tools. Realistic simulation for VANETs is challenging due to the high mobility of vehicles and the need to integrate various communication modalities such as Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) interactions. Existing simulators lack the capability to… Read More
