Under Frequency Load Shedding based on PMU Estimates of Frequency and ROCOF

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo, Yihui Zuo

The paper describes a local under-frequency load shedding and load restoration scheme, that exploits frequency and Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency (ROCOF) measurements produced by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) as detectors of a large contingency. The paper f ...

Assessment of the Probability of Collapse of Structures Under Earthquakes

Dimitrios Lignos

Avoidance of collapse is the most important objective in earthquake resistant design, but assessing the probability of collapse of a structure during an earthquake is technically challenging and it is computationally demanding. This paper summarizes recent ...

Seismic retrofit of cultural heritage buildings – when less is more

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Michele Godio, Andrea Penna

In 1356, Basel was subjected to an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 6.6; it is the largest known historical earthquake in central northern Europe. During this earthquake and the fire that followed large parts of Basel were destroyed. Such an event ...

Real-time multi-signal frequency tracking with a bank of notch filters to estimate the respiratory rate from the ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi

Measuring the instantaneous frequency of a signal rapidly and accurately is essential in many applications. However, the instantaneous frequency by definition is a parameter difficult to determine. Fourier-based methods introduce estimation delays as compu ...
