AC interference from high voltage power lines can constitute an electric shock hazard and a threat to equipment integrity during both load and fault conditions. Mitigation systems are usually installed to reduce the touch voltages so that the nearby metallic utilities are safe. This paper discusses the states of the touch and step voltages for a few typical right-ofway systems under load and fa...

While multicore/multiprocessor systems achieve significant speedup for many applications by exploiting loop level parallelism, they also suffer from increased reliability problems as a result of ever scaling device size. This paper addresses the reliability of loop dominated applications, aiming to execute parallel loops efficiently in the presence of various types of hardware faults. In this p...

This paper has made a qualitative and quantitative analysis by establishing the tunnel fault tree and giving the minimal cut sets of the faults in tunnel, and tested the data in tunnel combined with artificial neural network. The fault detection mechanism in this article has been simulated by MatLab and processed a lot of the actual data through the tunnel operating history. Experimental result...

Self-stabilization is a theoretical framework of nonmasking fault-tolerance for distributed networks. A self-stabilizing system is capable of tolerating any unexpected transient fault without outside intervention and, regardless of the initial state, it can converge to a legitimate global state, a predefined vector of local states, in finite time. Self-stabilization has rendered a good problem ...

Parallel scienti c computing in a distributed computing environment based on CORBA requires additional services not (yet) included in the CORBA speci cation: load distribution and fault tolerance. Both of them are essential for long running applications with high computational demands as in the case of computational engineering applications. The proposed approach for providing these services is...

The accurate modeling of micro-grid access to power system planning and design stage needs is the primary problem to solve. This paper modeled the micro grid photovoltaic power generation system ,including silicon solar cell, photovoltaic inverters, battery energy storage system, and the micro power distribution system .The use of power system analysis software (DIGSILENT) of actual power syste...

The aim of this paper is to optimize the system after restoring and reconfigure the faulted area in a distribution network after isolating the faulted block. Restoration involves changing the switch status to maximize the supply to loads that are left unsupplied after fault removal. After system optimization using reconfiguration, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used in order to control...

This paper proposes a new method, based on the analysis of the active and reactive powers of the induction motor, for the diagnosis of rotor faults in motors coupled to time-varying loads. This new method is able to discriminate the presence of a true rotor fault from a time-varying load and can be used even when both the fault and the load torque variation coexist. A theoretical analysis compl...

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are nowadays growing rapidly at the distribution level and it employs power electronic converters to ensure reliable operation to the customers. Among the RES, wind energy is now firmly established technology for electricity generation. This paper proposes a conventional PI controller and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller to GSC of PMSG, which can obtain ...

The Realize system simplifies the development of complex applications by separating the application programming from the management of resources for soft real-time CORBA applications, and from the replication of CORBA objects to provide high availability and fault tolerance. Realize uses totally ordered multicast messages to maintain consistency of the states of the object replicas, and adjusts...
