But over time, scientists have realized that something was missing to give life, so to speak, to the small chip with a brain： One needed to awaken its senses and develop its muscles! This challenge was solved through MEMS （micro electro mechanical systems）. Indeed, MEMS today are equipped with the sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch through microsensors. They are also capable of physical exertion through small muscles called microactuators. These new capabilities open wide fields of imagination and important specific applications.展开更多

The number of power transformers age more than 30 years old and nearing retirement is increasing. If this window of opportunity is not grabbed, there would be great reluctance to replace recently installed highly priced capital asset. Major projects of developing HTS transformers are well making progress in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea and China which indicate the interest. The efforts must have been appropriately verified through the economic interest of the discounted losses. Consequently, it is very important to develop an understanding of the fundamental HTS transformer design issues that can provide guidance for developing practical devices of interest to the electric utility industry. The parameters of HTS transformer need to be validated before any effort is to carry out to model the behaviour of a distribution network under a range of conditions. The predicted performance and reliability of HTS transformers can then be verified through the network modelling and analysis calculation. The ultimate purpose is to furnish electric utilities precise information as to which HTS transformers work under various applications with greater technical efficiency and proven reliability.展开更多

LabView based state estimation calculator has been chosen as the main platform because it is a user friendly and easy to apply in power systems. This research work is intended to simultaneously acclimate the power system engineers with the utilization of LabView with electrical power systems. This proposed work will discuss about the configuration and the improvement of the intelligent instructional VI （virtual instrument） modules in power systems for state estimation solutions. In the proposed model state estimation has been carried out and model has been developed such that it can accommodate the latest versions of state estimation algorithm.展开更多

Firstly, the transient behavior is analyzed and the conduction overlap- ping angle γ, is defined. Secondly, seven possible short-circuit current paths induced by different γ values are identified, and the corresponding engineering short-circuit current calculation methods for both AC and DC sides are proposed. And then, the influences of impedance distribution factor κ and equivalent short-circuit resistance Rsc on short-circuit currents are elaborated the proposed analysis methods.
