Small range localization using wireless ultrasound sensor network by Tan, Eric Wee Shan

“…Another type of localization method, analytical localization, is also used and it involves the use of Triangulation and Trilateration. However, when ultrasound is introduced to the localization systems, noise was introduced and it can cause variations of the distance measurement readings from the sensors and renders the analytical localization methods to be producing inaccurate results. …”

Numerical study on the operation rules of hydropower generation by Tan, Benjamin Zhi Wen

“…The modeled cascade system was shown to both increase and stabilize the power output of the existing downstream reservoir against seasonal flow variations, and possess good model reliability when inflows are stationary. Simulations using a novel power prediction method proposed herein based on the introduction of discrete drought events were also found to exhibit good accuracy in predicting long-term power output trends under extreme events.…”
