Locating lightning strikes and flashovers along overhead power transmission lines using electromagnetic time reversal

Mario Paolone, Gianluca Antonini, Reza Razzaghi, Keyhan Sheshyekani, Marco Scatena

The paper presents a method to identify the location of direct lightning strikes to overhead transmission lines and potential subsequent flashover(s). The method is based on the electromagnetic time reversal theory and relies on the use of a single measure ...

A Semi-Analytical Method to Evaluate Lightning-Induced Overvoltages on Overhead Lines Using the Matrix Pencil Method

Jun Guo

Lightning electromagnetic fields can couple to overhead power transmission and distribution lines, causing serious effects to the power system. Lightning electromagnetic fields that couple to overhead lines have a nonuniform distribution along the line con ...

Microwave Imaging of Brain Stroke

Mina Bjelogrlic

Brain stroke is an age-related illness which has become a major issue in our ageing societies. Early diagnosis and treatment are of high importance for the full recovery of the patient, as reminded in Anglo-Saxon countries by the abbreviation FAST (Face, A ...

Thermal mechanical analyses of the mm-wave miter bend for the ITER electron cyclotron upper launcher first confinement system

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis, Matteo Vagnoni, Florian Ramseyer

Each of the 4 ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher (ECHUL) features 8 transmission lines used to inject microwave power of up to 1.31 MW (at the source) per line, into the plasma at 170 GHz. The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons via (empty ...

Experimental verification of optimal frequency range for microwave head imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Mina Bjelogrlic, Benjamin Fuchs

This work presents the experimental verification of the power transmission of a radiating field into the human head for Microwave Imaging (MWI) applications. We aim at finding the range of frequencies that optimize the power scattered by any anomalies from ...

Formulation of the Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Equations in Terms of Scalar and Vector Potentials

Marcos Rubinstein

More than 60 years ago, Prof. S. Rusck introduced a coupling model to take into account the interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power transmission and distribution lines. The model which assumes that the ground is perfec ...

Polynomially Solvable Instances of the Shortest and Closest Vector Problems With Applications to Compute-and-Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei

A particular instance of the shortest vector problem (SVP) appears in the context of compute-and-forward. Despite the NP-hardness of the SVP, we will show that this certain instance can be solved in complexity order O(nψlog(nψ)) , where ψ=sqrt(P ||h||^2+1) ...

Comparison-Based Optical Assessment of Hyperboloid and Ellipsoid Reflectors in a Beam-Down Solar Tower System With Linear Fresnel Heliostats

Meng Lin

Beam-down concentrating solar tower (BCST) is known for its merits in easy installation and maintenance as well as lower convection heat loss of the central receiver (CR) when comparing to a traditional concentrated solar tower system. A point-line-couplin ...
