NUST houses the fastest Supercomputer in Pakistani Academia

Modern day scientific progress, research and discovery is dependent on computational capability. In many fields, large-scale physical experimentation has been replaced by computational modelling and simulation. The computational approaches reduce cost through eliminating the needs for designing several physical prototypes iteratively. Moreover, the development time can be reduced through improving design maturity by building detailed…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Power Plants

In order to run power plant operations smoothly, power plant faults need to be detected, located and classified quickly. For this, artificial neural network approaches are considered significant tool in related application of power system. Power plants failures can take place due to multiple factors for instance lightning strikes, damage of equipment’s at power generation…
