In such growing areas as remote applications in large public networks, intelligent agent support, intellectual property and copyright protection, the hardware security level offered by existing processors is insufficient. They lack protection mechanisms that prevent the user from tampering critical data owned by those applications. Some devices make exception, but have not enough processing pow...

Abstract In power systems, busbars connect important components such as generators, transmission lines, and loads. A typical fault occurrence on the busbar may result in isolation of faulty sections from other normally operating parts system resulting differential protection operation. Although main busbars' scheme is protection, its operation significantly affected by magnetic saturation curre...

Modern communication systems and information technology create significant new threats to information privacy. In this paper, we discuss the need for proper privacy protection in cooperative intelligent transportation systems (cITS), one instance of such systems. We outline general principles for data protection and their legal basis and argue why pure legal protection is insufficient. Strong p...

 Due to the advancement of power electronics devices and control techniques, modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become most attractive for multiterminal direct current (MTDC) grids thanks its relevant features, such as modularity scalability. Despite their advantages, conventional MMCs face a major challenge with: i) fault-tolerant operation strategy; energy losses in conversion; iii)...

in this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (pmus) is proposed to minimize the number of pmu installation subjected to full network observability. three main purposes of pmus output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. we have combined binary imperialistic competitio...

As the primary transportation tools for modern people, Autos are facing a tremendous transform. With shortcomings which couldn’t be overcome, Ancient animal-drawn vehicle had been replaced by motor vehicles. However, motor vehicles still have inextricable malpractices such as lower security, lower speed, dependent for energy sources, lacking of environmental protection, single purpose, lower ef...

Intelligent building (IB) technologies have widespread applications in the building design and development. In this regard, it is necessary to develop intelligent building assessment models in order to satisfy the clients, professionals, and occupants' growing demands. To this end, this paper proposes an integrated analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference degree approach (PDA) under the ...
