This paper proposes a new algorithm for blocking the operation of Indirect Symmetrical Phase Shift Transformer (ISPST) differential relay when subjected to different operating conditions except internal fault condition. The proposed algorithm is amalgamation of Phase angle shift (PAS) threshold and Optimal Radial Basis Function Neural Network (ORBFNN). PAS between source and load side currents ...

Automation systems, e.g., hydro power plants and industrial automation systems include heterogeneous engineering disciplines, e.g., mechanical, electrical, process, and software engineering, and raise additional challenges for quality assurance activities, e.g., identifying defects in change management processes where different disciplines are involved. Our observations in industry shows variou...

Modern GPUs can accelerate the execution of inherently data-parallel applications in General-Purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing. However, real-world algorithm realizations on GPUs differ from synthetic benchmarks. In this poster we stress the performance limits of GPUs. We measure the performance of our CUDA implementation of a recommended image compression algorithm (CCSDS-122.0-B-1) for space data...

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is an attractive technique that enables coexistence with other radio systems using very short pulses and spread spectrum. However there are potential interferences each other if UWB and other radio system are used same frequency band at close range. This paper discusses interference detection and mitigation techniques for pulse based UWB (p-UWB). A multi-carrier template wa...

This paper presents a laboratory model for a shunt static var compensator (SVC). Such shunt static var compensator (SVC) is useful in the control of power distribution feeders. The type of the SVC considered in this investigation is the famous thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) configuration. LABVIEW software has been used as a practical platform to control the operation of the SVC thyristors. ...

In this paper, we introduce the diagonal of the modified Riesz distribution defined in 2 , IR  r r . We propose the estimators of different parameters of this new distribution by two method, firstly by the moment method and secondly by the maximum likelihood method. The performance of the both estimators are studied by calculating the Mean Square Error (MSE). KeywordsDiagonal of the modified R...

This paper proposes a novel received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based self-adaptive indoor positioning algorithm which can be utilized in non-line-of-sight (LOS) environments through the employment of a weighted feedback framework. This algorithm is composed of the following parts: optimized RSSI algorithm, offset-triangulation algorithm and weighted feedback framework. The developed self...

The δ-Matching problem calculates, for a given text T1..n and a pattern P1..m on an alphabet of integers, the list of all indices Iδ = {i : maxmj=1 |Pj − Ti+j−1| ≤ δ}. The γ-Matching problem computes, for given T and P , the list of all indices Iγ = {i : P m j=1 |Pj − Ti+j−1| ≤ γ}. When a “don’t care” symbol occurs, the associated difference is counted as zero. In this paper, we give experiment...

This paper presents accelerated lifetime tests on a polypropylene film capacitor. Experimental parameters (20% droop, 5 Hz repetition rate) simulate anticipated operating conditions encountered in the SLAC P2 Marx. Elevated film electric field stress is utilized as the acceleration parameter. Results indicate that, for the particular film of interest, a film stress of ~290 V/μm corresponds to a...

Low power and robust circuitry are permanent hotspots in VLSI design. Adiabatic logic is one of potential breakthroughs for these goals. Especially, designing reliable clock tree is very significant for adiabatic logic due to four-phase clocked power required for pipelined data transmission in adiabatic system. In this paper, we present analysis of charging speed and clock types that influence ...
