This paper describes the integration of power electronic and energy storage applications in distribution substations. Auxiliary circuits must provide motor-driven power switches, protection relays and telecontrol systems with constant power supply, thus minimising power outages and their negative effects on consumers. Requirements on the apparatus are proportional to the distributed voltage lev...

According to the conclusions of the study “Smart Portugal 2020”, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can contribute to a reduction of 15% in our ecological footprint. The role of innovation and the early adoption of solutions that could reduce consumption in all economical sectors will be vital to the 20/20/20 European Strategy [1]. Active network management for generation, sto...

The article discusses various solutions that exist in the field of remote control robotic devices equipped with manipulators. New approaches are presented for organizing joint telecontrol multiple manipulators using user inputs. following usage scenarios considered: architecture a system many and interfaces, including such promising areas as deep machine learning neural interfaces.

The mobile agent computing paradigm has been explored by the research community over recent years; however, little research has been conducted in its use in the development of robot architectures. We have been examining the use of mobile agents as a distributed control paradigm for structuring multiple robot architectures. Although many advantages of mobile agents are claimed in literature, our...

This article explores a number of improvements made on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems which allow them to be successfully used for automated surveillance. Even telecontrol operators who have limited experience with computers were able to employ the system without any difficulties. Other advances made by taking advantage of the strongest features of embedded and multi-a...

The rapid growth of telecontrol systems is one of the major trends in today’s network-oriented community. The implementation of generic frameworks, consisting of reusable components that can form the basis for the development of such systems, is a necessity. There is a plethora of associated applications that can be developed in a distributed environment, such as audio/video teleconferencing, g...
