Description: This tele-seminar series gives the results from a PSERC project (Executive Summary | Full Report) that examined the impact of increased penetration of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind generation on power system dynamic performance and hence reliability. DFIG wind turbines use controls that effectively isolate the inertia from the grid. In addition, large wind farms are ty...

OBJECTIVE The Food Craving Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T) is commonly used to assess habitual food cravings among individuals. Previous studies have shown that a brief version of this instrument (FCQ-T-r) has good reliability and validity. This article is the first to use Confirmatory factor analysis to examine the psychometric properties of the FCQ-T-r in a cross-validation study. METHOD Habitu...
