Passive optical networks are the most promising solution for access networks. Nowadays, Gigabit passive optical networks are very popular for Internet services providers. These networks have currently been limited by transmission speeds (up to 2.5 Gbit/s in downstream) which is not sufficient for all services (such as 4k video transfer etc.) because this speed is shared with all users in the network...
Identifying meaningful signal buried in noise is a problem of interest arising in diverse scenarios of data-driven modeling. We present here a theoretical framework for exploiting intrinsic geometry in data that resists noise corruption, and might be identifiable under severe obfuscation. Our approach is based on uncovering a valid complete inner product on the space of ergodic stationary finite valued...
Multilayer network analysis has become a vital tool for understanding different relationships and their interactions in a complex system, where each layer in a multilayer network depicts the topological structure of a group of nodes corresponding to a particular relationship. The interactions among different layers imply how the interplay of different relations on the topology of each layer. For a...
The paper presents new trends in the development photovoltaic (PV) power plants, with particular reference on new inverter concept with DC-link voltage over 1000 V. For the inverters with the DC-link voltage reaching the value of 1500 V, basic and most important features will be presented. The principle of appropriate PV panel configuration selection in accordance with the inverter voltage input level...
Research on critical infrastructures (CI)s deals with sensitive data that demands underlying platform to be secure, in addition, testing of CI resilience strategies requires reproducibility of results. Disruption or natural disaster scenarios can not be tested on the physical systems, thus simulations are used for experimentation on CIs and as they are inherently distributed and interdependent which...
This paper provides a timely study report of FDT and AutomationML Collaboration. AutomationML is on the shortlist of several IIoT standards. It contains several parts related to describe different aspects for in the design process of a plant. The information related to FDT are the description of the system topology and the communication relations within such a topology. The output of a CAE tool is...
This paper investigates the switching performance of a 1.2 kV half-bridge SiC MOSFET module from Sanrex. Unlike in a standard SiC MOSFET module, where the MOSFET and the anti-parallel diode chips are fabricated separately, in the chosen MOSFET module (FCA150XB120), both the MOSFET and the diode are fabricated on a single chip. The device is characterized under both hard and soft switching conditions...
Current methods of topology estimation rely on breaker statuses to obtain accurate results. However, due to the lack of availability of time stamped breaker status data in many electric systems, as well as the errors associated with this data, these methods are very limited in their current scope. Additionally, synchrophasor measurements can be used to supplement information on the connectivity between...
Power line communication characterization need complete knowledge of the network such as topology, cable parameters, connected loads, and so on. In practice, home power grids topology is not entirely acknowledged. In common cases, the blueprint showing the interconnection between power outlets is unavailable. If it exists, the lengths of the different sections are not mentioned. This work proposes...
This work analyzes some possible converter switching strategies so as to achieve higher efficiency and better current waveforms in a high power and low cost three-phase and three-level active AC-DC conversion.
Focusing on the relevant pros provided by power conversion onboard introduction (e.g. reduction of power system weight/volume), a widespread use of power converters is foreseeable in future MVDC shipboard power systems. For conveniently exploiting the power converters capability in the marine environment, a preliminary investigation about the attainable topologies must be carried out. In this paper...
Nowadays, more and more Cloud providers are appearing on the market. In this context, a typical issue is represented by the management of distributed services deployed on different federated Cloud providers. Assuming that a distributed service consists of several microservices, in this paper, we specifically focus on the setup of virtual environments and on deployment tasks required in each Federated...
The article focuses on experimental measurement of multi-carrier narrowband Power Line Communication. The aim of experimental measurements was comparison of multi-carrier narrowband Power Line Communication from the view-point of possible communication distance, available data rate and impact of noise. The specifications G3-PLC and PRIME are considered. The field test results and data rate measurements...
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), also known as Blue-tooth Smart, is part of the Bluetooth 4.0 Core specifications, introduced in June 2010 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). BLE is designed as a radio standard that minimizes power consumption and it is particularly suited for low cost, low bandwidth, low power, and low complexity applications. These aspects of the standard represent the reasons...
Mechanically interlocked molecules represent chemical architectures whose composing elements are linked because of their topology instead of covalent bonds [1]. Among them, the catenanes are analogous to an ensemble of interlaced rings, globally locked yet locally independent. We disclose in this work the equivalent of such exotic molecules in the realm of nonlinear Photonics. They appear as interlocked...
Active charge balancing is an approved technique to implement more energy-efficient and eco-friendly lithium-ion battery systems. The theoretical analysis presented in this paper provides a method to estimate the benefits of a cell-to-cell-type active charge balancing circuit in comparison to a passive balancing solution concerning energy savings and capacity gain. The calculation's variable parameters...
Dm to the trend of decentralized generation (DG) residing in low voltage distribution network, more inverters are connected to the grid in three-phase four-wire systems under asymmetrical condition. This paper presents an algorithm to balance DC-link capacitor voltages and minimize switching loss of three-level four-leg inverters which is suitable for asymmetrical condition. The algorithm is based...
Two channels are said to be equivalent if they are degraded from each other. The space of equivalent channels with input alphabet X and output alphabet Y can be naturally endowed with the quotient of the Euclidean topology by the equivalence relation. We show that this topology is compact, path-connected and metrizable. A topology on the space of equivalent channels with fixed input alphabet X and...
All international standards of data centers, Uptime Tier Classification, TIA-942, BICSI 002, BITKOM, and EN 50600, are defined system reliability design by topology. Most of topology defines by a single line diagram (SLD) of power distribution systems (PDS). The PDS design approach is using a coherent zone protection mechanism. This mechanism is tried to get rid of single points of failure by applying...
Since traffic engineering (TE) in Software Defined Networking (SDN) can be much more efficiently and intelligently implemented, Multipath in SDN becomes a new option. However, Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) size become the bottleneck of SDN. In this paper, we propose an SDN-based Dynamic Flowentry-Saving Multipath (DFSM) mechanism for inter-DC WAN traffic forwarding. DFSM adopts source-destination-based...
