In the last decade, the massive penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) has brought significant technical challenges to all the aspects related to the planning and operation of distribution networks. Thus, smart grid concept has evolved as a new operat ...
Neurotechnology includes artificial devices integrated with the neural tissue to mitigate the burden of neurological and mental disorders. This field has significantly expanded its range of applications thanks to the development of flexible, stretchable an ...
As non-controllable power sources, photovoltaics can create overvoltage and overloading in low voltage (LV) distribution feeders during periods of high generation and low demand. This is usually prevented passively by limiting the penetration level of PV t ...
In this work, the effect of sulphur poisoning of the Ni-YSZ electrode of an SOEC operated in co-electrolysis mode was investigated. Short-term tests with exposure up to 5 ppmv of SO2 were performed at OCV and under polarization (0.25 A cm−2). The two-stage ...
This article discusses formulas for the surge/ characteristic impedance of vertical conductors. Calculated results of the surge impedance are compared with measured results on vertical conductors and transmission towers. The accuracy of the available time- ...
The need to increase efficiency and reduce operating cost of shipboard DC power distribution networks results in a desire to increase the operating voltage of such installations to the medium voltage levels. Devices such as solid state bus-tie switches are ...
Tribocorrosion of passivating metals is a dynamic phenomenon causing degradation of materials by a combination of mechanical wear and electrochemical dissolution. The mechanical action typically produces a local removal of particles, metal as well as oxide ...
This chapter describes two of the most adopted software tools for the evaluation of the lightning performance of transmission and distribution lines, namely FLASH and LIOV-EMTP (Lightning Induced OverVoltage - ElectroMagnetic Transient Program), together w ...

A gravitational energy storage device is described where the kinetic energy to recover while braking a vertically moving mass is compensated by an auxiliary storage device based on supercapacitors. The characteristic power surge occurring by a fast decreas ...
In this article, we present a machine learning-based method to locate lightning flashes using calculations of lightning induced voltages on a transmission line. The proposed approach takes advantage of the preinstalled voltage measurement systems on power ...
