Over the past eight decades the ice-infested Northern Sea Route (NSR) has been steadily developed although historically it has been of little interest to commercial shipping companies. However, the shorter routes, more open waters, and the increasing demand for shipping have caused shipping companies to reconsider shipping along these routes. The NSR is now part of an overall world transportation...
The Arctic region has a harsh and sensitive environment at a remote location where special local considerations will influence the design, operation and management of any waste handling system installed in the region. In order to develop a suitable waste handling system in the High North, the main technological and operational challenges need to be identified and tackled. In this paper a methodology...
Connections are present in all electrical circuits, they come in many shapes and materials, but all share one common trait: they are involved directly or indirectly in many grid faults. The integrity of power system grids plays a fundamental role in the smart grid context. The monitoring of equipment and assets contributes significantly to the reliability of electric power systems. This article aims...
This paper proposes an interactive Web 3D virtual experience environment based on O3D. A virtual experience hall was implemented with an educational goal of "saving the earth from global warming." The interactive Web 3D virtual experience hall is capable of providing flexible services without being confined to a specific platform. A storytelling approach was employed to maximize the interactive...
Designing induction motors for use in Arctic environments involves a number of challenges. Average winter ambient temperatures which drop below the lower limits specified in the relevant standards can affect all motor components. Other environmental factors that must be taken into account include harsh wind, ice and snow conditions. Even greater precaution is required when designing motors for hazardous...
