The electrical power industry experiences nowadays a significant need in modern techniques for increasing the capability of power transmission systems. The reason for this lies in growing power flows, caused by ris¬ ing power consumption, and in the deregulation of the electrical market, where power flows should be more flexible. These factors demand more transmission capability from the existi...

Smart Grid is much more than IT and smart meters. A SmartGrid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity. This article first gives a background to HVDC Transmission Technology in general, and secondly describes how...

In restructured power market, power producers and customers utilize the transmission network and try to maximize their benefits. Hence it is important to improve the static ATC for allowing more transaction in future without any transmission limit violation. This paper suggests the method for establishing bilateral/multilateral transaction based on the optimal generator selection and it’s shari...

The functional requirements and system overview for a low cost data communications system for small satellite use are presented. Tradeoffs of system parameters will be discussed such as: cost, transmission speed, power consumption, spectrum useage, and system complexity. Link calculations at 137 MHz, with transmission speeds of 9600 BPS, monopole antennas, and a 50kHz bandwidth show that adequa...

The present paper describes the steady-state response and control of power in transmission line equipped with FACTS devices. Detailed simulations are carried out on two-machine systems to illustrate the control features of these devices and their influence to increase power transfer capability and improve system reliability. The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC) and ...

When talking about location-based services, one of the key factors influencing the overall service quality is the positioning accuracy that the system can rely upon. Nowadays, wireless LAN hardware supports the variation of the transmission power in a wide range. In this paper, two novel algorithms suitable for extension of common wireless LAN-based positioning systems are presented. These nove...

The reliability of the power plants and transmission lines in the electricity industry is crucial for meeting demand. Consequently, timely maintenance plays a major role reducing breakdowns and avoiding expensive production shutdowns. By now, the literature contains a sound body of work focused on improving decision making in generation unit and transmission line maintenance scheduling. The pur...

With the development of rural power market in our country, how to improve the operation more correctly and timely of power quantity collection, transmission and processing becomes a problem. The requirement of equipment in power quantity collection needs new and higher demands. The advantage of using dual-port RAM and main-spare CPU structure, when main CPU running, spare CPU supply monitoring ...

In vehicular ad hoc networks, the dynamic change in transmission power is very effective to increase the throughput of the wireless vehicular network and decrease the delay of the message communication between vehicular nodes on the highway. Whenever an event occurs on the highway, the reliability of the communication in the vehicular network becomes so vital so that event created messages shou...
