One of the most critical infrastructures in world is electrical power grids (EPGs). New threats affecting EPGs, and their different consequences, are analyzed this survey along with approaches that can be taken to prevent or minimize those thus improving EPG resilience. The necessity for systems become resilient such events becoming compelling; indeed, it important understand origins consequences faults. This provides an analysis types faults respective causes, showing which ones more...

A Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS) is a novel paradigm of cyber-physical and cyber-social systems with highly inhomogeneous distributed nature integrating dynamic stochastic hybrid including computation, communication, sensing actuation, social systems.Their usage can be traced to homes such as smart homes, manufacturers in Industry 5.0, critical infrastructures, cities, medicines, healthcare systems, many other examples. They simplify speed up tasks provide higher level control...

The integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid has heightened variability and uncertainty in generation, challenging Distribution System Operators (DSOs) Transmission (TSOs) effective management. Coordinated generation management between DSOs TSOs is vital to enhance capacity for new ensuring stability reliability while accommodating sources. This coordination prevents distribution constraints, maintaining balance requirements.

In this work, a generalized mathematical formulation is proposed to model generic public transport system, and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) optimization used determine the optimal design of system in terms charging infrastructure deployment (with on-route off-route charging), battery sizing, schedules for each route network. Three case studies are validate while demonstrating its universal applicability. First, three individual routes with different characteristics demonstrated....

Energy communities, mostly microgrid based, are a key stakeholder of modern electrical power grids. Operating based energy community is challenging topic due to the involved uncertainties, complexities and often conflicting objectives. The aim this paper present novel methodology demonstrating that flexibility can contribute each member’s wellbeing when grid fault occurs. A three-house will be modelled considering as consumption sources non-controllable controllable devices in house. As...

Inductive superconducting fault current limiters have already demonstrated their technical viability in electrical networks. Its architecture and robustness make them potentially adequate for distribution networks, this type of devices is considered as an enabling technology the advent embedded generation with renewable energy sources. In order to promote growth maturity these technologies, fast design tools must be developed, allowing simulating different materials grids diverse...

The sand pile model, in conjunction with Bean is often applied to describe single grain bulk superconductors. However, several applications such as electric motors, multiseeded bulks are needed, due the need increase sample dimensions. In this paper, an extension of model presented order manage type materials. Multiseeded HTS superconductors, produced, e.g., by top-seeded melt growth process, characterized intra- and intergrain currents, these reflected model. identifying currents from flux...

This article presents a 10-year experience of soft and transferable skills acquisition through the involvement PhD students in organization an international conference. Soft is currently perceived as core component doctoral studies. Examples include writing communication, teamwork, time management, leadership, resource negotiation, problem solving, listening, planning, entrepreneurial spirit, mastering ethics awareness, etc. The need for such due to leading role that are expected play...

Electrification of public transport systems has become a strategic priority due to the highly versatile potential electric vehicles (EVs) as distributed energy resources (DERs) Despite logistic ease transitioning conventional fully-electric ones, latter must be properly designed adhere technical constraints and minimize their total ownership cost (TOC). Most published work addresses this issue with narrow scope, such modeling very specific case study, leading non-generic models which are...

This paper introduces a tool for the optimization of CMOS integrated spiral inductors. Its aim is to offer designers first approach on designing inductors without need fabrication. The core an procedure where technology constraints inductor layout parameters are considered by applying user-defined discretization design variables. User-defined between may also be accounted for, as way taking into account heuristics. For those cases device area major concern minimization considered. On other...

In his paper the design of LC-VCOs is addressed. Due to high-density integration needs as well low cost fabrication, RF applications are usually implemented in CMOS technology. However, this technology development brought up several issues such degradation on-chip LC tank quality factor, yielding VCO's phase noise limitation. To overcome phase-noise limitations, optimization methodologies used. Since electromagnetic simulations timely expensive, model based approaches needed. work...

Power electronics (PE) plays a major role in electrical devices and systems, namely electromechanical drives, motor generator controllers, power grids, including high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission. PE is also used for the protection against grid disturbances, like voltage sags or breakdowns. To cope with these back-up energy storage are used, uninterruptible supplies (UPS) flywheels. Some of may use superconductivity. Commercial semiconductor (power diodes, MOSFETs, IGBTs, Darlington...

This paper presents the design of a test rig for an all HTS linear synchronous motor.
