The consequences due to lightning on different building shapes needs a comprehensive knowledge in order to provide the information to the common man. This paper is mainly concern with the development of a small scale model to study impulse flashover and attachment pattern of protected building structures due to lightning strike. The lightning strike pattern of buildings is based on the practical experimental...
Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a newly arising heterogeneous multiprocessor platform which may improve the heavy data transmission between CPU and GPU in traditional heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms through shared virtual memory. However, as other heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms, it is complex and error-prone to write HSA programs. Therefore, we design and implement a translation...
Lattice-based cryptography has recently produced several time-efficient cryptosystems that are provably secure under assumptions that are not known to be more easily solvable by quantum computers. An interesting research direction is improving their storage complexity, as current solutions are far from practical with respect to this metric. In this paper we show that program obfuscators for point...
Humans possess an extraordinary ability to learn new skills and new knowledge for problem solving. Such learning ability is also required by an automatic model to deal with arbitrary, open-ended questions in the visual world. We propose a neural-based approach to acquiring task-driven information for visual question answering (VQA). Our model proposes queries to actively acquire relevant information...
The GI0 distribution is a competitive tool for SAR image description. This distribution is useful for describing speckled imagery because it models adequately areas with different degrees of texture. Data simulation is crucial for the development of new methods of automatic interpretation of this type of images. We compare four alternatives for generating data under the GI0 distribution. The experiments...
This paper investigates a novel task of generating texture images from perceptual descriptions. Previous work on texture generation focused on either synthesis from examples or generation from procedural models. Generating textures from perceptual attributes has not been extensively studied yet. Meanwhile, perceptual attributes, such as directionality, regularity and roughness are important factors...
In a large ship, Power Management System (PMS) which manages power system should be tested in various operating conditions and fault situations. During its function tests, the PMS should be connected to the ship's power system. However, the test has limitations due to cost, test condition and safety. In this paper, a control Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) system is proposed for the function...
We study the profitable amount of additional storages in the German electricity network. The more storages there are the less profitable they become. To account for this effect, we construct a price model based on German data from 2015. This price model is based on the merit order theory and the explanatory variables are conventional generation and export. Then we build a cost model for different...
We consider the closest lattice point problem in a distributed network setting and study the communication cost and the error probability for computing an approximate nearest lattice point, using the nearest-plane algorithm, due to Babai. Two distinct communication models, centralized and interactive, are considered. The importance of proper basis selection is addressed. Assuming a reduced basis for...
We present new data structures for quasistrict higher categories, in which associativity and unit laws hold strictly. Our approach has low axiomatic complexity compared to traditional algebraic approaches, and gives a practical method for performing calculations in quasistrict 4-categories. It is amenable to computer implementation, and we exploit this to give a machine-verified algebraic proof that...
It has become a common practice of the manufacturers to provide only black-boxed models of devices to their buyers. These black-boxed models are compatible with time domain simulations. In this paper, a black-boxed EMT simulation model of a synchronous generator was connected to a known multi-machine power system, and an improved Prony Analysis method was used to identify the modes of the system from...
The Brazilian power system is a hydrothermal system mainly composed of hydroelectric generation. In order to deal with the uncertainties related to future water inflows a hydroelectric power plant receives an assured energy certificate. In general, those assured energy certificates correspond to energy that each plant can produce considering a 5% risk of energy not supplied. Also, they represent the...
The dynamic nature of real-world networks, such as social networks and communication networks, has increased the focus towards real-time dynamic graph analysis. Observations made based on real-time analysis of dynamic graphs reflect the latest properties of the graph and have the most value in real-time analysis. Computing graph properties of large-scale, fast-evolving graphs in real-time is challenging...
Zambia's national power grid is facing a constraint in meeting the present and expected future demand. Solar photovoltaic (PV) power is a promising option for large-scale renewable energy integration in Zambia as there is abundant insolation, averaging 5.5kWh/m2/day. However, large-scale integration of solar will increase the variability and uncertainty in the power supply, which can result in blackouts...
The occurrence of wide-area cascading events suggests that the power system is operating at reduced safety margins. The generation dispatches provided by current energy markets may influence the risk of cascading outages. This paper aims at estimating the risk of cascading outages associated with diverse dispatch solutions by integrating market-based power dispatch models and a cascading failure analysis...
As the German Energiewende policy enters the latter stages of its goal to dismantle the country's nuclear power plant fleet, the southern state of Bavaria must decide how it will replace its nuclear generation capacity. This study extends a renewable capacity expansion model that was initially developed to find optimal extensions of wind and solar generation and transmission for Texas, United States...
Hydrothermal systems should be characterized by a transmission-intensive nature in order to deal with climatic phenomena which, for example, can determine dry conditions in one region while there are large rainfalls in another one. Thus, the grid must be robust to deal with the different export/import patterns among regions and accommodate several economic dispatches. This paper describes a multiyear...
An investigation on the reasons for failure of the own needs supply in one of the blocks of a big electrical power plant in Bulgaria has been presented. The investigation presented is based on a computer model, which adequacy is experimentally verified. The computational investigations with the model show that the reliability of the own needs supply depends on the excitation regime of the generators.
In this paper, a hybrid measurement and model-based method is proposed which can estimate the dynamic state Jacobian matrix in near real-time. The proposed method is computationally efficient and robust to the variation of network topology. A numerical example is given to show that the proposed method is able to provide good estimation for the dynamic state Jacobian matrix and is superior to the model-based...
This paper presents the development and characterization of an electric power generator device using a piezoelectric material made of Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT). The device was built like a mechanical structure in which were coupled eight piezoelectric cells subjected to cyclical loads of traction and compression, which work as electricity generator. For the experimental characterization, a system...
