This paper presents a distributed load flow that can be implemented in decentralized control centres. This becomes essential for power system having geographically separated areas. The system is partitioned into two areas balancing the number of nodes in each area. This is done to balance the computational load on the system in each control center. The Boundary buses are treated as load buses a...

To address the ever increasing bandwidth requirements of next-generation high-performance systems, FPGA vendors are continually making incremental improvements in their device architectures. Even with these advanced architectures, designers often resort to implementing their designs using very wide on-chip buses. In fact, on-chip buses of 512, 1,024 or 2,048 bits wide are increasingly common. A...

Automated guidance of transit buses in urban areas will introduce challenges in terms of maintaining acceptable levels of service to patrons while not compromising system safety. In this report, we present the findings from conducting both an extensive literature review and field observations of the operations of transit buses in an urban setting. The scope of the research conducted under MOU 3...

Transit buses are involved in many more accidents than other vehicles. Collision Warning Systems (CWS) are therefore placed most efficiently on these buses. In our project, we investigate their operating environment and available technologies to develop performance specifications for such CWS. This paper discusses our findings of transit buses driving through very cluttered surroundings and bei...

Finding minimum number of connecting lines is as important as locating power quality monitors (PQMs) for full observability of power system. Therefore, a PQM placement method should determine both optimum buses and lines, since utilities can make better decisions for monitoring of power system with this information. This paper attempted to propose a new method to locate the PQMs at various unob...

To prove the important role of battery electric buses (BEBs) in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, we propose a framework to compare CO2 emissions between BEBs and conventional diesel (CDBs) based on low sampling frequency data at city scale Shenzhen. We applied VT-Micro model improve estimation CDBs’ emissions. A modal-activity-based method was implemented reconstruct second-by-second tr...

Communication components (address, instruction, and data buses and associated hardware like I/O pins, pads, and buffers) are contributing increasingly to the area/cost and power consumption of microprocessor systems. To decrease costs due to address buses, we propose to use narrow widths for underutilized buses (hardware-only compression) to transmit information in multiple cycles. We analyze p...

background; noise mapping in industry can be useful to assess the risks of harmful noise, or to monitor noise in machine rooms. using gis -based software for plot of noise maps in an indoor noisy work environment can be helpful for occupational hygienists to monitor noise pollution. methods; this study was carried out in noisy packaging unit of a food industry in ghazvin industrial zone, to eva...
