Recently, several research groups in cryptography have presented new elliptic curve model based on Edwards curves. These new curves were selected for their good performance and security perspectives. Cryptosystems based on elliptic curves in embedded devices can be vulnerable to Side-Channel Attacks (SCA), such as the Simple Power Analysis (SPA) or the Differential Power Analysis (DPA). In this...

The concept of a power curve is introduced, as well as the principles of the power conversion performed by a wind turbine. As an appropriate approach for the estimation of the annual power production of a wind turbine, the procedure to determine the power curve after the international standard IEC 61400 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is discussed. As another approach is ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the description of power system QV curves by using the method of fuzzy modeling for analysis of voltage stability. Voltage instability of power system comes from increasing load rapidly, and causes bus voltage to drop. When voltage is out of control and it can be voltage collapse. The QV curve can identify voltage stability limit, and it determine robustnes...

P-V curve and V-Q curve (often term as Q-V curve) are widely used for planning and operation studies. The P-V curve and V-Q curve of an unbalanced three-phase system, unlike the balanced three-phase system, may not have similar loading margin (LM) and reactive power margin (RPM) on each phase. Therefore, DIgSILENT Programming Language (DPL) has been used to study the maximum loading point (MLP)...

Unified formula for computing elliptic curve point addition and doubling are considered to be resistant against simple power-analysis attack. A new elliptic curve formula known as unified binary Huff curve in this regard has appeared into the literature in 2011. This paper is devoted to analyzing the applicability of this elliptic curve in practice. Our paper has two contributions. We provide a...

Forecasting wind power is an important part of a successful integration of wind power into the power grid. Forecasts with lead times longer than 6 hours are generally made by using statistical methods to postprocess forecasts from numerical weather prediction systems. Two major problems that complicate this approach are the nonlinear relationship between wind speed and power production and the ...

BACKGROUND Risk prediction models have been proposed for various diseases and are being improved as new predictors are identified. A major challenge is to determine whether the newly discovered predictors improve risk prediction. Decision curve analysis has been proposed as an alternative to the area under the curve and net reclassification index to evaluate the performance of prediction models...
