Load forecasting has become in recent years one of the major areas of research in electrical engineering. In a deregulated, competitive power market, utilities tend to maintain their generation reserve close to the minimum required by an independent system operator. This creates a need for an accurate instantaneous-load forecast for the next several minutes. An accurate forecast eases the probl...

Statistical channel models based on BER performance are presented for a frequencyand time-selective vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communications link in an expressway environment in Atlanta, Georgia, where both vehicles traveled in the same direction. The models are developed from measurements taken using the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique at 2.45 GHz. A collection of tapped del...

The development of wideband mobile communications systems require a better knowledge of the characteristics of the mobile channel as described by its impulse response. Such impulse response can be modelled as a tapped delay line with unknown delays, amplitudes and phases associated with each tap. In order to obtain satisfactory estimates of these parameters a wideband channel sounder is require...

La identificación de niños bilingües con Trastorno del Desarrollo Lenguaje (TDL) es compleja, y la evaluación narración puede ser particularmente valiosa en este contexto. Por ello, el objetivo estudio contribuir a sistematizar difundir creciente cuerpo literatura que investiga las habilidades narrativas población infantil bilingüe TDL, través una revisión sistemática guiada por siguientes preg...

In recent years, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas systems have quickly become an inevitable wireless technology not only for WLANs but also for mobile networks. Based on the benefits of using multiple transmit antennas and multiple receive antennas, MIMO systems can provide high quality and high speed services. However, for high speed transmission, frequency-selective fading (FSF)...

A method of adaptive system identification for the modeling of an optical trap's system dynamics is presented. The system dynamics can be used to locate the corner frequency for trapping stiffness calibration using the power spectral method. The method is based on an adaptive least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm, which adjusts weights of a tapped delay line filter using a gradient descent method. ...

|This paper addresses the channel estimation problem for slow frequency-selective fading channels using training sequences and the maximum likelihood (ML) approach. In the literature people usually assume a symbol period spaced delay-tapped-line model and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Due to the preltering in the receiver front end, if the sampling rate is larger than one sample per sym...

A gamma neural network topology is investigated for a system identification application. A discrete gamma memory structure is used in the input layer, providing delayed values of both the control inputs and the network output to the input layer. The discrete gamma memory structure implements a tapped dispersive delay line, with the amount of dispersion regulated by a single, adaptable parameter...

This Paper deals with digital simulation of FC-TCR, which can enhance the Power Quality of a power system. Reactive power is controlled by using tapped inductor system. This system reduces THD in the line current. Smooth variation of reactive power can be obtained by varying the firing angle of TCR. This circuit eliminates switching transients and improves the life of the capacitors. The simula...

This paper describes the model-based development process of hard real-time software with the Timing Definition Language (TDL): modeling and simulation of TDL components in Matlab®/Simulink®, their mapping to a specific platform and finally the code generation.
