We developed the Sparks system as a physical alternative to existing connectedness mediator systems. While several systems are under investigation, they are limited by their confinement to the traditional display. We address this issue, in part, by collocating the visualization and the user within the physical environment of the scenario. We describe the specific aspects of the system that capitalize on both foreground and peripheral attention to facilitate communication throughout a conversation. We discuss our ongoing research where architectural surfaces are used to provide interactive layers of information related to elements present in the space, and conclude with a discussion of the benefits of the system in combining the immediacy of the physical environment with the dynamic data handling characteristics of a digital system.","PeriodicalId":308705,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Review","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117332326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wide frequency range of the model is achieved by means of dual and extended Cauer circuits, equivalent circuits used for eddy current modeling. The complete lumped circuit reproduces the expected response well. However, because of resonances in the coil, the model cannot be experimentally verified for higher frequencies than 5 kHz. The parameters of the lumped circuit are mainly acquired from field calculations and aggregate the eddy current losses In the stranded conductor of each tum. The aggregate considers the contact resistance between the strands. The eddy current model can be used as a part of a complete model of the coil intended for e. g. lightning impulse simulations, as the winding is discretised into short pieces. The results of the paper are of special interest for coaxially insulated electric machines, such as the commercially available Powerformer and Dryformer.","PeriodicalId":308705,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123037937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It preserves the privacy of the corporate information of the participants and provides the right signals to achieve economic efficiency. It recognizes and properly models the technical (physical and intertemporal) constraints of the participant thermal power generators. From a mathematical point of view, the proposed tool results in a mixed-integer linear programming problem that can be efficiently solved using currently available branch and cut software. To illustrate the adequate functioning of the proposed market clearing procedure, different realistic ease studies are analyzed in detail.","PeriodicalId":308705,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122106085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much research has been issued to deal with the defects of the fast Fourier transform (FFT). Those methods may cause the characteristics of the original signal to be altered or may solve this problem in part only. The defects of spectrum analysis cannot be solved efficiently and completely by those methods. These defects result because frequency scales cannot match with signal characteristics. This paper is based on a concept to establish a complete solution divided into three steps. First, this paper analyzes the signal characteristics to be the basis of spectrum adjustment. A simple and accurate algorithm is used to find the frequency and amplitude of each component. Next, this paper finds optimum spectrum parameters to make the new spectrum match with signal characteristics. Finally, this paper takes the parameters to reanalyze the original signal. The method will make spectrum analysis reach optimization. Every procedure in this paper compares with traditional ones to prove its benefits. Moreover, we verify the theory feasible by analyzing actual signals.","PeriodicalId":308705,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128638564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many questions are being asked about the reliability of utility systems across the nation, there are currently no standards for recording or measuring interruption minutes, number of customers affected, major events, whether to include transmission and or distribution as well as many other issues. The methods used for calculating the indices and the definitions for the information have a major role in calculating reliability measures as defined in a recent IEEE standard. This paper will provide the results of a nationwide survey on the recording or measuring of the data used to calculate reliability indices and associated practices. It will point out some of the pitfalls of using differing methodologies in the recording of data behind the measures. These differences often cause discrepancies when comparing reliability indices between utilities.","PeriodicalId":308705,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
