Voltage unbalance (VU) is regarded as a power quality problem of significant concern at the electricity distribution level. Influence of unbalanced supply voltages on the adverse performance of power system and its equipment ...

A large number of faults in power distribution systems is caused due to vegetation growing near power lines. Therefore, to maintain high system reliability, outages should be prevented as much as possible before they occur. ...

Robots are becoming a part of the human society. They are intended to maintain long-term social interactions with humans. A memory about each interaction partner is essential for a robot for maintaining long-term social ...

The wide use of electrical induction motors in industries throughout the world requires, increasingly, more precision in fault diagnosis. Techniques of predictive maintenance such as Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) ...

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links are used for bulk power transmission due to its advantages over the alternating current (ac) transmission. A HVDC link between India and Sri Lanka has also being proposed. Hence it ...

A vast range of human-friendly interactive robotic heads is being developed by researchers. However these robot heads require improvements in construction and behavior to achieve more human-like performance. Therefore this ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) can be used for a number of applications in civil engineering such as powering of embedded sensors in concrete. In this paper, a multi-zone dielectric lens is designed and used to enhance ...

It is a vital requirement to have passive noise control enclosure in order to depress air borne noise of reciprocating engine type power generators. The design of these enclosures needs to be optimized in terms of the ...

Distribution system power flow analysis has significant differences when compared with that of transmission systems owing to their special topological properties. Hence, application of conventional power flow methods on ...
