Distributed electricity generation is increasingly applied in the electricity grid. This generation can be more energy efficient than conventional generation; however, a large scale introduction of distributed generators implies possible instability in the grid. A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) deals with this problem by controlling the distributed generators in such a way, that the complete group a...

We discuss two aspects of polarisation in hard exclusive meson production: the leading-twist selection rule for the meson helicity, and the different partial waves of a ππ-pair which may or may not be due to the decay of a ρ. 1 Helicity in vector meson production The first half of this talk is about exclusive electroproduction of a ρ (or any other light vector meson), ep → ep + ρ, in the Bjorke...

Virtual reality applications in the context of urban planning presume the acquisition of 3D urban models. Photo realism can only be achieved if the geometry of buildings is represented by a detailed and accurate CAD model and if artificial texture or real world imagery is additionally mapped to the faces and roofs of the buildings. In the approach presented in this paper height data provided by...

A virtual factory integrated manufacturing system combined with system simulation and virtual reality is introduced in this paper. We describe the system architecture and development methodology, provide the working principle of process simulation and monitoring in virtual factory, and then explain the detailed applications of virtual factory integrated manufacturing system. With the visualizat...

The optimization of the process of implementing virtual exhibitions on the Web represents an interesting research area devoted to simplify the design and the production of virtual exhibitions, particularly for people with a scarce technical skill and strong competencies in the area to which the exhibition is related to. In the present paper we propose a web environment facilitating the producti...

While performance based animation has been widely used in film and game production, we apply a similar technique for recreational/artistic performance purposes, allowing users to experience realtime natural interaction with virtual character. We present a real-time system that allows a user to interact with a synthetic virtual character animated based on the performance of a dancer who is hidde...

Original scientific paper Nowadays the production process with as few as possible deadlocks is the most important goal of management in every company. An optimized production process can be reached with well-trained personnel and especially with well-trained schedule planners. In this contribution, a new strategy on how to train production planners for different types of production by using vir...
