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 - 12

What is the use of final keyword in java ?
          final keyword is used in different contexts. First of all, final is a non-access modifier applicable only to a variable, method or a class. Following are different contexts where final is used,
a) Final variable - To create constant variable.
When a variable is declared with final keyword, it's value can't be modified, essentially a constant. This also means that you must initialize a final variable. If the final variable is reference this means that the variable cannot be rebound to reference another object, but the internal state of the object pointed by that reference variable can be changed. i.e. you can add or remove elements from final array or final collection. It is good practice to represent final variables in all uppercase, using underscore to separate words.
Java interface variables are by default final and static.
b) Final methods - Prevent method overridding.
We can use the final keyword with methods to make sure child classes can't override it.
c) Final Classes - Prevent inheritance.
Final keyword is used in class to make sure no other class can extend it , for example String class is final and we can't extend it.

What purpose does the keyword final, finally and finalize fulfill ?
Final :
          Final is used to apply restrictions on class, method and variable. Final class can't be inherited, final method can't be overridden and final variable value cannot be changed.
Finally :
          Finally is used to place important code,it will be executed whether exception is handled or not.
Finalize :
          Finalize is used to perform cleanup processing just before object is garbage collected.

What are the uses of a final class ?
          There are two uses of a final class,
1. To prevent inheritance :
          A class declared with final keyword cannot be extended. For example, all wrapper classes like Integer, Float etc. are final classes. We can not extend them.
final class A
{
// Methods and fields
}
// The following class is illegal
class B extends A
{
// Compile-error! Can't subclass A
}

2. To create an immutable class :
          The other use of final with classes is to create an immutable class like the predefined String class. You can not make a class immutable without making it final.

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...
