This paper reports on the results of a recent attempt by the Power Systems Engineering Research Center (Pserc) and EPRI to determine the technical tools missing in currently unfolding electric power restructuring scenarios.

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

Title of Document: APPLYING RELIABILITY ANALYSIS TO DESIGN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS FOR MORE-ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT Baozhu Zhang, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Research Assistant Professor Huan Xu, Aerospace Engineering and Institute for Systems Research The More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) is a type of aircraft that replaces conventional hydraulic and pneumatic systems with electrically powered co...

Weakly electric fishes have been an important model system in behavioral neuroscience for more than 40 years. These fishes use a specialized electric organ to produce an electric field that is typically below 1 volt/cm and serves in many behaviors including social communication and prey detection. Electrical behaviors are easy to study because inexpensive and widely available tools enable conti...

Smooth and elaborate gut motility is based on cellular cooperation, including smooth muscle, enteric neurons and special interstitial cells acting as pacemaker cells. Therefore, spatial characterization of electric activity in tissues containing these electric excitable cells is required for a precise understanding of gut motility. Furthermore, tools to evaluate spatial electric activity in a s...

United States electric utility industry is moving toward a new power grid that will accommodate bi-directional energy flow and the incorporation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Currently, utility companies lack tools to identify locations on the electric grid that can sustain DERs’ adoption. This research explores the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a class of tools for dev...
