Metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. Since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. In this paper, Big Bang – Big Crunch and Hybrid Big Bang – Big Cr...

1 Overview SURGE (Scalable URL Reference Generator) is a WWW workload generator which is based on analytical models of WWW use. It relies on the fact that a great deal of prior work has been done in the analysis of WWW transactions, and that models for many of the important characteristics of WWW use have been developed. The goal of SURGE is to provide a scalable framework which, from the serve...
