That is the maximum time a severe disturbance can be applied without the system losing its stability. Important factors to consider are power angle, moment of inertia of the whole power plant, X/R ratio in the net and which excitation system is being used for the synchronous generator. Prolonging the CFCT by changing reactance in the net or increasing the inertia constant by upgrading the power plant have been proven to be effective but expensive methods. The purpose of this paper is to understand CFCT and how tuning the excitation system can be a cost-effective method to extend it. Tuning in this paper done by monitoring the step responses on three different excitation models. Modelling and calculation are executed in a simulation software where a fault is simulated on one power line with one single 54.5 MW generator. CFCT is then first calculated with standard settings and later with adjusted settings. The rotor angle stability shows minor improvement after the tuning with different results for all three exciters.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127908366","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 weight of the proposed 45-degree sectoral lens is significantly less than the original full spherical lens by a factor of 16. The unidirectional pattern suitable for Ku-band satellite communications, radar and other applications is achieved. Conventionally, a high-gain parabolic reflector antenna is low cost and popular for satellite communications. However, its antenna size is huge and usually installed on the rooftop. Thus, it is unsuited for installation on vehicles, aircrafts, ships and modern buildings. This paper proposes a size and weight reduction technique, where the 45-degree sectoral lens is installed in a corner reflector. A virtual source (image source) technique is employed to create virtual full spherical dielectric lens. The corner reflector increases the effective aperture area resulting in the antenna gain enhancement. It is found that the proposed antenna size is smaller than the conventional parabolic reflector and original full spherical lens with the same electrical performances. Thus, it is well suited for modern communication systems where a high-gain antennas are required.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128574222","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}

At the conceptual design stage, the designers conceive a design concept by developing design parameters to satisfy the given functional requirements. The relationships between the set of functional requirements and the set of design parameters are represented in a design matrix. However, the design concept often has off-diagonal element(s) in the design matrix. These elements consequently create coupling terms that increase the complexity of the design concept. In the Axiomatic Design framework, eliminating an off-diagonal element from a design matrix will increase the flexibility design interaction structure, therefore reducing the design complexity. This paper presents a method to reduce the complexity in engineering design and technical systems. It helps support the designer identifying which coupling term(s) should be eliminated to decouple a coupled design, also to decrease the complexity of a decoupled design.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127377904","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}

Next, we employ Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) to analyze criteria weights for 3D printer selection-related factors. In particular, factors concerning 3D printed product, 3D printer characteristics, and material properties are considered in this evaluation with a number of associated sub-factors. The initial results show that the most essential factor for both types of decision makers is product factor, followed by material, and printer, respectively.

However, many concerns, e.g., data security have been raised considerably in Thai cloud-based environments. To gain more understandings, this research aims to provide insights into key enablers of cloud computing adoption and acceptance and to compare identified key enablers with two different time periods. A systematic literature review and questionnaire-based surveys were performed. The review result from 46 original papers reveal 12 key enablers influencing cloud computing adoption and acceptance.

The data were analyzed by stepwise multiple linear regressions. The findings indicate that two enablers (i.e., clear cloud usage policy and appropriate plan) continuously had significant correlations with cloud adoption; while three enablers (i.e., clear cloud usage policy, appropriate plan, and cost effectiveness) constantly had significant correlations with cloud acceptance, in both 2017 and 2019.","PeriodicalId":404700,"journal":{"name":"2019 Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C)","volume":"60 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114023773","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}
