In this module we present an overview of an electrical power system. The electrical power system is a network of interconnected components which generate electricity by converting different forms of energy, (thermal, hydro, and nuclear are the most common forms of energy converted) to electrical energy; and transmit the electrical energy to load centers to be used by the consumer. The system co...

BACKGROUND Local field potentials may allow a more precise analysis of the brain electrical activity than the electroencephalogram. In this study, local field potentials were recorded in the thalamocortical axis of rats to (i) compare the performance of several indexes of anesthetic depth and (ii) investigate the existence of thalamocortical correlated or disrupted activity during isoflurane st...

ity. Afterdischarges were less likely to be induced by direct hippocampal stimulation during periods when the hippocampal LFP had already been suppressed with preceding preparatory stimulation. Evoked potentials produced in the hippocampus by thalamic stimulation were also suppressed when preparatory direct hippocampal stimulation was provided. The authors were also able to demonstrate 2 novel ...

ite power and grounding audits/evaluations of commercial and industrial locations routinely identify electrical power system grounding and bonding problems. According to S. Frank Waterer, an electrical engineering IEEE Fellow at Schneider Electric with more than 30 years of experience, approximately 70% of all anomalies, dysfunctions, or problems associated with power distribution systems are d...

Synaptic responses of interneurons in the rat lateral amygdala (LA) to electrical microstimulation of putative cortical and thalamic afferents were studied in slice preparations in situ. The EPSPs at both thalamic and cortical inputs were composed of two major components that were sensitive to 6,7-dinitroxaline-2,3-dione and DL-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV), indicating mediation through...

PURPOSE The brain is a highly interconnected neuronal assembly in which network analyses can greatly enlarge our knowledge on seizure generation. The cortico-thalamo-cortical network is the brain-network of interest in absence epilepsy. Here, network synchronization is assessed in a genetic absence model during 5 s long pre-ictal->ictal transition periods. METHOD 16 male WAG/Rij rats were equ...

Wind parks and their impact on electrical power systems have become an important area for analysis over the last decade. Particularly, the influence of wind turbines on power quality of electrical power systems is today a subject of study for several electrical and wind turbine manufacturing companies, standards committees, and universities. In this paper, a new probabilistic model for analyzin...

The open access transmission of electrical power from a seller to a buyer through a transmission network owned by third group is called wheeling. One of the key issues in newly emerged deregulated electrical power market/industry is assessment of power wheeling prices. Assessment and analysis of electrical power wheeling prices has become a challenging task as now several factors are to be inco...
