Many electric power generators use gas turbines as power sources. Typically they are connected to the turbines through a mechanical gearbox in order to adapt their synchronous speed to the optimal rotation speed of the turbine, which is very often much hig ...
Supercapacitor represent one of the newest innovations in the field of electrical energy rtorage, and are subject of several developments in the industry for many different and news applications. Supercapacitors, which can supply a high instantaneous power ...
Growing demand for the solid state meters for power and energy measurement leads to the fully integrated Hall sensor based microsystem solutions. In this paper we describe fully integrated SOI Hall sensor based microsystem for power and energy measurements ...
The Commission E Open Meetings papers are a choice between a status report for the Working Group activity or a short presentation of a subject in the area of the respective WG, which seems more relevant for the period between two such Open Meetings. The di ...
Power Factor Corrected rectifiers are a new tendency in development of power supplies. In the last few years, a lot of R&D activities have led to a new category of products for one-phase applications. In this contribution, a new simplified topology is prop ...
Supercapacitors are components for energy storage. Due to their series resistors, the energy efficiency of supercapacitors can be low. In this paper, the unloading of supercapacitors with constant current and power are studied, to identify and take into ac ...
In recent years, power variations and energy criteria have been the main motivations for developing regenerative drive converters for elevators [1]. A better performing solution for power smoothing can be easily found by using a supercapacitor-based storag ...
This abstract presents a perform study on SOLERO, a new and innovative rover concept for regional mobility on planetary surfaces. A rover is the most suited element to bring scientific instrument to a specific site in order to examine geology, mineralogy o ...
The goal of a class of sensor networks is to monitor an underlying physical reality at the highest possible fidelity. Sensors acquire noisy measurements and have to communicate them over a power- and possibly bandwidth-constrained interference channel to a ...
Supercapacitors are new and powerful components for energy storage. Compared with batteries, the amount of energy they can store is low. But, as power sources they have the property to be re-loadable in a few seconds [1][2][3]. In that case, the needed ins ...
