Classes of performance measures expressed in terms of H2-norms have been recently introduced to quantify the response of coupled dynamical systems to external perturbations. For the specific case of electric power networks, these measures quantify for instance the primary effort control to restore synchrony, the amount of additional power that is ohmically dissipated during the transient follow...

Given a set of points P, a conflict-free coloring of P is an assignment of colors to points of P, such that there exist a point p in any subset of P whose color is distinct from all other points in that subset of P. This notion is motivated by frequency assignment in wireless cellular networks: one would like to minimize the number of frequencies (colors) assigned to base stations (points), suc...

In this paper, winding function method (WFM), applied to a faulted synchronous generator, is modified and is used for online diagnosis of mixed eccentricity fault. For the first time, the static and mixed eccentricities are modeled in synchronous generators. A modified winding function (MWF) method introduced here is more precise compared with previous methods. This MWF enables to compute the a...

In this study, an ab initio molecular dynamics method is employed to investigate how the existence of stacking faults (SFs) influences the response of SiC to low energy irradiation. It reveals that the C and Si atoms around the SFs are generally more difficult to be displaced than those in unfaulted SiC, and the corresponding threshold displacement energies for them are generally larger, indica...

This paper introduces an approach to detect the existence of the faulted switch, identify which switch is faulty, and reconfigure the STATCOM. This approach is illustrated on an elevenlevel STATCOM and the effect on the dynamic performance and the total harmonic distortion (THD) is analyzed Many static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs) utilize multilevel converters due to the following: 1) lo...

A new fault attack, double counting attack (DCA), on the precomputation of 2t-ary modular exponentiation for a classical RSA digital signature (i.e., RSA without the Chinese remainder theorem) is proposed. The 2t-ary method is the most popular and widely used algorithm to speed up the RSA signature process. Developers can realize the fastest signature process by choosing optimum t. For example,...

This paper presents a novel transient current differential algorithm for earth fault detection in unearthed (isolated) and compensated neutral medium voltage (MV) networks. The proposed algorithm uses the transient residual currents, which are very sensitive for earth faults detection. The transient values of residual currents are calculated for each feeder in the network and used as an earth f...

Renewable power is expected to increase drastically in the coming years due energy transition. A large part of newly installed generators will be connected system through inverters and electronic converters, whose behaviour differs from synchronously network. One main differences current contribution during symmetrical asymmetrical faults which can affect protection systems. New grid codes esta...
