AC interference from high voltage power lines can constitute an electric shock hazard and a threat to equipment integrity during both load and fault conditions. Mitigation systems are usually installed to reduce the touch voltages so that the nearby metallic utilities are safe. This paper discusses the states of the touch and step voltages for a few typical right-ofway systems under load and fa...

The flexibility combined with the computational capabilities of FPGAs make them a very attractive solution for space-based computing platforms. However, SRAM-based FPGAs are susceptible to radiation effects, including Single Event Upsets. In order to increase the fault tolerance of FPGA designs, fault mitigation techniques, such as Triple Module Redundancy, can be applied. Such techniques, howe...

This paper represents mitigation scheme of wind farm output power fluctuation in micro-grid system during grid and islanded mode. The impact of mitigation technique using sodium sulphur battery energy storage system is investigated during grid and islanded mode of micro-grid system. A micro-grid system with wind farm and photovoltaic system is used for the investigation of the mitigation of win...

and Conclusions In its March 1, 2012 Order, 1 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) accepted the proposed tariff revisions of the California Independent System Operator (ISO) to the ISO's local market power mitigation (LMPM) mechanism. As part of that ruling, the Commission ordered that " the CAISO's market surveillance committee is hereby directed to report its findings regarding the...

We construct a diffusive, bi-stable cellular automata model to elucidate the physical mechanisms underlying observed edge localized mode (ELM) mitigation by supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI). The extended cellular automata model reproduces key qualitative features of ELM mitigation experiments, most significantly the increase in frequency of grain ejection events (ELMs), and the decrea...

Reducing domestic carbon dioxide and other associated emissions can lead to short-term, localized health benefits. Quantifying and incorporating these health co-benefits into the development of national climate change mitigation policies may facilitate the adoption of stronger policies. There is, however, a dearth of research exploring the role of health co-benefits on the development of such p...

This paper studies the efficiency of subgrade stiffening next to the track as a mitigation measure for railway induced vibrations by means of a two-and-a-halfdimensional coupled finite element – boundary element methodology. The pyhsical mechanism is interpreted in the frequency–wavenumber domain, illustrating that the stiffened block of soil next to the track can act as a wave impeding barrier...

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) mitigation is extremely important to take advantage of the vastly improved bandwidth, sensitivity, and field-of-view of exascale telescopes. For current instruments, RFI mitigation is typically done offline, and in some cases (partially) manually. At the same time, it is clear that due to the high bandwidth requirements, RFI mitigation will have to be done aut...

Frequent-Pattern Tree (FP-Tree) algorithm plays a vital role in mining associations, patterns and other data mining related jobs. Currently a software risk mitigation intelligent decision network engine using rule based technique has been designed against software risk factors. A novel idea of finding the associations between different software risk mitigation factors using FP-Tree algorithm ha...

In the United States, mitigating the adverse impacts of flooding has increasingly become the responsibility of local decision makers. Despite the importance of understanding why flood mitigation techniques are implemented at the local level, few empirical studies have been conducted over the last decade. Our study addresses this lack of research by examining the factors influencing local commun...
