Requirements engineeringRequirements engineering (RE) is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering. The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference series on requirements engineering that has evolved into the International Requirements Engineering Conference.
Electric power conversionIn all fields of electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another. A power converter is an electrical or electro-mechanical device for converting electrical energy. A power converter can convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and vice versa; change the voltage or frequency of the current or do some combination of these. The power converter can be as simple as a transformer or it can be a far more complex system, such as a resonant converter.
Bobine Teslathumb|Bobine Tesla (Nikola Tesla Memorial Centre, Smiljan, Croatie). La bobine Tesla, ou transformateur de Tesla, est une machine électrique fonctionnant avec du courant alternatif à haute fréquence et permettant de produire de très hautes tensions. Elle porte le nom de son inventeur, Nikola Tesla, qui l'a mise au point vers 1891. L'appareil consiste en deux ou trois circuits de bobinage couplés et accordés par résonance. Il n'y a pas de noyau métallique comme dans les transformateurs électriques classiques : c'est un transformateur à noyau d'air.
Business requirementsBusiness requirements, also known as stakeholder requirements specifications (StRS), describe the characteristics of a proposed system from the viewpoint of the system's end user like a CONOPS. Products, systems, software, and processes are ways of how to deliver, satisfy, or meet business requirements. Consequently, business requirements are often discussed in the context of developing or procuring software or other systems. Three main reasons for such discussions: A common practice is to refer to objectives, or expected benefits, as 'business requirements.
OnduleurUn onduleur est un dispositif d'électronique de puissance permettant de générer des tensions et des courants alternatifs à partir d'une source d'énergie électrique continue. Son fonctionnement est à dissocier des autres convertisseurs comme les convertisseurs AC/AC, les redresseurs (AC/DC) ou encore les convertisseurs DC/DC. Cependant un onduleur peut être associé à d'autres convertisseurs pour en changer la fonction. Le nom anglais de l'onduleur, « inverter », vient du fait qu'historiquement l'onduleur avait la fonction inverse d'un redresseur.
Non-functional requirementIn systems engineering and requirements engineering, a non-functional requirement (NFR) is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviours. They are contrasted with functional requirements that define specific behavior or functions. The plan for implementing functional requirements is detailed in the system design. The plan for implementing non-functional requirements is detailed in the system architecture, because they are usually architecturally significant requirements.
Software requirementsSoftware requirements for a system are the description of what the system should do, the service or services that it provides and the constraints on its operation. The IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology defines a requirement as: A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective. A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document.
Software requirements specificationA software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be developed. It is modeled after the business requirements specification (CONOPS). The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user interactions that the software must provide to the user for perfect interaction.
Gestion des exigencesLa gestion des exigences consiste à gérer les exigences hiérarchisées d'un projet, à détecter les incohérences entre elles et à assurer leur traçabilité. Dans de nombreux métiers, l'expression de ces exigences donne lieu à une quantité de documents dont la cohérence et la qualité conditionnent le succès ou l'échec des projets concernés. Il existe des logiciels spécialisés qui permettent d'aider à la réalisation de cette activité.
Transformer typesA variety of types of electrical transformer are made for different purposes. Despite their design differences, the various types employ the same basic principle as discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, and share several key functional parts. This is the most common type of transformer, widely used in electric power transmission and appliances to convert mains voltage to low voltage to power electronic devices. They are available in power ratings ranging from mW to MW. The insulated laminations minimizes eddy current losses in the iron core.
