The importance of the electric power quality (PQ) demands new methodologies and measurement tools in the power industry for the analysis and measurement of the basic electric magnitudes necessary. This paper presents a new measurement procedure based on neural networks for the estimation of harmonic amplitudes of current/voltage and respective harmonic powers. The measurement scheme is built wi...

This paper reports on the development of the Electric Power and Communication Synchronizing Simulator (EPOCHS), a distributed simulation environment. Existing electric power simulation tools accurately model power systems of the past, which were controlled as large regional power pools without significant communication elements. However, as power systems increasingly turn to protection and cont...

using hartree-fock su-sheriffer-heeger (hf-ssh) model, we have studied the dependence of the energies of the ground (magnetic triplet state) and the first exited (nonmagnetic singlet state) states of the size-2 trigonal zigzag graphene nanoflake (size-2 nf) on the intensity of an external in plane static electric field at zero temperature. we identify a transition from the magnetic triplet stat...

In this work the fuel consumption of two vehicles is compared. For investigating the fuel consumption a whole vehicle simulation is developed with the SmartPowerTrains library and the SmartElectricDrives library. Both librarys are written in Modelica language. As a reference vehicle a conventional vehicle with manual transmission is modeled. A parallel hybrid electric vehicle with a starter/gen...

This paper presents an integration system ISIS has developed for electric utilities, on top of which decision support tools can be cost-effectively developed and integrated with the other information system commonly present in electric utilities. The system, called the Integrated Distribution Management System (IDMS), provides an easily configurable integration framework, and currently includes...

Traditional aircraft design has been based on peak power and peak thermal loads. With the introduction of more-electric aircraft, increasing requirements for on-demand highquality power for flight controls and electro-mechanical actuation devices will pose further challenges for energy efficiency and mission capability. This paper examines a new dynamic optimization strategy for energy manageme...

−− Servocontrol loops are an important component in the control architecture of machine tools. Such loops manage the axes based on requirements of velocity, position, and acceleration. The success of modeling and control techniques applied to this level sets the basis for production of parts with high quality as well as cycle time reduction. First, an introduction is presented for the three may...
