Inertia location and slow network modes determine disturbance propagation in large-scale power grids

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Laurent Vincent Pagnier

Conventional generators in power grids are steadily substituted with new renewable sources of electric power. The latter are connected to the grid via inverters and as such have little, if any rotational inertia. The resulting reduction of total inertia ra ...

On Non-Uniform Transient Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Overhead Transmission Lines

Jun Guo

Transient electromagnetic fields can couple to overhead power transmission and distribution lines, causing damage to the connected equipment. In real cases, incident electromagnetic fields exhibit different spatial and temporal waveform distributions along ...

Locating lightning strikes and flashovers along overhead power transmission lines using electromagnetic time reversal

Mario Paolone, Gianluca Antonini, Reza Razzaghi, Keyhan Sheshyekani

The paper presents a method to identify the location of direct lightning strikes to overhead transmission lines and potential subsequent flashover(s). The method is based on the electromagnetic time reversal theory and relies on the use of a single measure ...

A Semi-Analytical Method to Evaluate Lightning-Induced Overvoltages on Overhead Lines Using the Matrix Pencil Method

Jun Guo

Lightning electromagnetic fields can couple to overhead power transmission and distribution lines, causing serious effects to the power system. Lightning electromagnetic fields that couple to overhead lines have a nonuniform distribution along the line con ...

Microwave Imaging of Brain Stroke : Contributions to Modeling and Inverse Problem Resolution

Mina Bjelogrlic

Brain stroke is an age-related illness which has become a major issue in our ageing societies. Early diagnosis and treatment are of high importance for the full recovery of the patient, as reminded in Anglo-Saxon countries by the abbreviation FAST (Face, A ...

Thermal mechanical analyses of the mm-wave miter bend for the ITER electron cyclotron upper launcher first confinement system

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis, Avelino Mas Sanchez, Matteo Vagnoni, Phillip Miguel Santos Silva, Florian Ramseyer

Each of the 4 ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher (ECHUL) features 8 transmission lines used to inject microwave power of up to 1.31 MW (at the source) per line, into the plasma at 170 GHz. The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons via (empty ...

Realistic Wind Farm Layout Optimization through Genetic Algorithms Using a Gaussian Wake Model

Fernando Porté Agel, Nicolas Otto Kirchner Bossi

Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) can be useful to minimize power losses associated with turbine wakes in wind farms. This work presents a new evolutionary WFLO methodology integrated with a recently developed and successfully validated Gaussian wake mo ...

Experimental verification of optimal frequency range for microwave head imaging

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Michael Mattes, Benjamin Fuchs, Benjamin Fuchs, Mina Bjelogrlic

This work presents the experimental verification of the power transmission of a radiating field into the human head for Microwave Imaging (MWI) applications. We aim at finding the range of frequencies that optimize the power scattered by any anomalies from ...

Formulation of the Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Equations in Terms of Scalar and Vector Potentials

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

More than 60 years ago, Prof. S. Rusck introduced a coupling model to take into account the interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power transmission and distribution lines. The model which assumes that the ground is perfec ...

Polynomially Solvable Instances of the Shortest and Closest Vector Problems With Applications to Compute-and-Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei

A particular instance of the shortest vector problem (SVP) appears in the context of compute-and-forward. Despite the NP-hardness of the SVP, we will show that this certain instance can be solved in complexity order O(nψlog(nψ)) , where ψ=sqrt(P ||h||^2+1) ...
