Summary form only given as follows. A model for the calculation of lightning-induced voltages is presented with the aim of assessing the effect of corona when power distribution lines are illuminated by lightning electromagnetic fields. Corona is taken int ...
An interesting correlation between the quench pressure and the generated power was observed in the quench runs of the QUELL experiment. The experimental results indicate that the instantaneous values of the quench pressure and power generated by the normal ...
High-temperature superconductors (HTS) exhibit hysteresis, which is the main cause for losses in the subcritical domain. This behavior is well predicted by Bean's critical-state model, which is a subset of the classical Preisach model. We present a paramet ...
Two methods for the estn. of the current bypass in solid state electrochem. are presented. The current bypass was estd. from the current-voltage curves of a tubular cell with one bipolar element and from the current-voltage curves of a monolith with severa ...
The energy market liberalization requires using the actual transportation network in a more flexible and more efficient way. What is needed are strategies and facilities that will improve the energy flux sharing, as well as the maintaining of the node volt ...
NOVELTY - After disconnection from normal control (3) a pulse generator (4) sends positive and negative pulses to a motor winding R. The response currents are measured (5) from voltages (Vpr,Vnr) which appear after a fixed time on a neutral resistor (2) an ...
The amplitude-enhancement effect of ground resistivity and corona on voltages induced by lightning electromagnetic fields on overhead transmission lines, earlier analyzed by the authors in previous works, is here emphasized. Various examples explaining the ...
Following the analytical description of the collisionless high-voltage capacitive RF sheath in Lieberman (1988) and of the collisional high-voltage capacitive RF sheath in Lieberman (1989), electrical sheath parameters are calculated for a square-wave ie R ...
The paper presents an active sharing device, for equalizing the voltages across a series connection of supercapacitors. This ensures an optimal value for the stored energy. Based on a buck-boost topology, this device is designed and controlled to propose a ...
High power microwave (HPM) and ultra wide band (UWB) sources can represent a threat for the sensitive equipment of various military and civil targets. The paper focuses on effects on aircraft and discusses the modeling possibilities available today to esti ...
