Smart Grids and Energy Storage Systems

Smart Grids and Energy Storage Systems: Powering the Future of Energy In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, the push towards sustainability, efficiency, and reliability is stronger than ever. Traditional power grids, though robust in their time, are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of a modern, digital, and environmentally conscious society. This is where smart grids and energy storage systems (ESS) come into play — revolutionizing how electricity is generated, distributed, and consumed. What is a Smart Grid? A smart grid is an advanced electrical network that uses digital communication, automation, and real-time monitoring to optimize the production, delivery, and consumption of electricity. Unlike conventional grids, which operate in a one-way flow (from generation to end-user), smart grids enable a two-way flow of information and energy. Key Features of Smart Grids: Real-time monitoring of power usage and quality. Automated fault detection and rapid restoration. Int...

Java important question - 10

Can we use String with switch case ?
          One of the java7 features was improvement of switch case to allow strings. So if you are using java 7 or higher version, you can use String in switch case statement.
private static void printColorUsingSwitch                                                (String color) {
switch(color) {
case "blue":
     System.out.println("Blue");
     break;
case "red":
     System.out.println("Red");
     break;
default :
     System.out.println("Invalid color       
                                       code");
}

Q) Difference between String, StringBuilder and StringBuffer in java
String :
          String is immutable object. The object created as a string is stored in the Constant string pool. Every immutable object in Java is thread safe, that implies string is also thread safe. String cannot be used by two threads simultaneously. 
          String once assigned cannot be changed.
String demo = "hello";
     // The above object is stored in constant string pool and it's value cannot be modified.
demo ="Bye";
     // new "Bye" string is created in constant pool and referenced by the demo variables
     // "hello" string still exists in string constant pool and it's value is not overridden but we lost referenced to the "hello" string

StringBuffer
          StringBuffer is mutable means one can change the value of the object. The object created through StringBuffer is stored in the heap. StringBuffer has the same methods as the StringBuilder, but each method in StringBuffer is synchronized that is StringBuffer is thread safe. Due to this it does not allow two threads to simultaneously access the same method. Each method can be accessed by one thread at a time. But being thread safe has disadvantage too as the performance of the StringBuffer hits due to thread safe property. Thus StringBuilder is faster than the StringBuffer when calling the same method of each class. 
     StringBuffer value can be changed, it means it can be assigned to the new value.
     StringBuffer can be converted to the string by using toString() method.
StringBuffer demo1 = new StringBuffer                                            ("Hello");
// The above object stored in heap and it's value can be changed.
demo1 = new StringBuffer ("Bye");
// The above statement is right as it modifies the value which is allowed in the StringBuffer

StringBuilder:
          StringBuilder is same as the StringBuffer, it stores the object in heap and it can also be modified. The main difference between the StringBuffer and StringBuilder is that StringBuilder is not synchronized. StringBuilder is fast as it is not thread safe.
StringBuilder demo2 = new StringBuilder                                          ("Hello");
// The above object too is stored in the heap and it's value can be modified.
demo2 = new StringBuilder ("Bye");
// The above statement is right as it's modifies the value which is allowed in the StringBuilder.

Operations on data structures

OPERATIONS ON DATA STRUCTURES This section discusses the different operations that can be execute on the different data structures before mentioned. Traversing It means to process each data item exactly once so that it can be processed. For example, to print the names of all the employees in a office. Searching It is used to detect the location of one or more data items that satisfy the given constraint. Such a data item may or may not be present in the given group of data items. For example, to find the names of all the students who secured 100 marks in mathematics. Inserting It is used to add new data items to the given list of data items. For example, to add the details of a new student who has lately joined the course. Deleting It means to delete a particular data item from the given collection of data items. For example, to delete the name of a employee who has left the office. Sorting Data items can be ordered in some order like ascending order or descending order depending ...

Points to Remember

• A data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data either in computer’s memory or on the disk storage so that it can be used efficiently. • There are two types of data structures: primitive and non-primitive data structures. Primitive data structures are the fundamental data types which  are supported by a programming language. Non-primitive data structures are those data structures which are created using primitive data structures. • Non-primitive data structures can further be classified into two categories: linear and non-linear data structures.  • If the elements of a data structure are stored in a linear or sequential order, then it is a linear data structure. However, if the elements of a data structure are not stored in sequential order, then it is a non-linear data structure.  • An array is a collection of similar data elements which are stored in consecutive memory locations. • A linked list is a linear data structure consisting of a grou...
