Distribution networks are undergoing major changes to accommodate and adapt to the new functionalities required to support smart grid infrastructure. Data communication between interoperable smart grid components will be critical in most cases as the network operators will have to act promptly to effectively operate medium and low voltage networks. Millions of smart meters and intelligent electronic...
Future smart grids will require existing distribution networks to support novel distribution management system functionalities. Millions of smart meters will be deployed in the UK in near future. Vast amounts of data from such meters and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in distribution network substations will require high speed communications. Such data will have to be concentrated at...
Power line communication (PLC) has been widely used in the Smart Grid environment as it represents a low cost communication solution for distribution networks and more recently smart metering. However, its instability under noisy channel conditions requires careful simulations and modelling before implementing any PLC-based solution. Modelling physical characteristics of PLC using different simulation...
Smart electricity distribution networks of the future with large-scale deployment of smart meters, intelligent asset condition monitoring, distributed generation and responsive demand will produce vast amounts of data requiring near to real-time analysis. Emerging Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions have the potential to enable near to real-time state estimation across large-scale...
Load board verification is normally performed by IC manufacturers on an automatic test equipment (ATE) as per of the standard test procedure prior to final test. Since test load boards are used as an interface between the automatic test equipment (ATE) and integrated circuit (IC), it is thus important to ensure that a particular load board is functioning otherwise the test integrity of all IC tested...
This paper presents a region of interest (ROI) based video coding technique for H.264 based video coding with improved error resilience and error protection in the foreground. We used the flexible macroblock ordering (FMO) tool in H.264 video coding standard to encode the video frame into three separate slices. First slice carries the background, and other two slices contains alternative macroblock...
