Statistical relationship between RMS and QP spectra of voltage measurements in the 9–150 kHz range
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
The main objective of this work is to obtain an empirical relationship between the root-mean-square and the quasi-peak spectra of voltage recordings in the electrical grid, based on a statistical analysis of a set of ...
On the suitability of the CISPR 16 method for measuring conducted emissions in the 2–150kHz range in low voltage grids
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
The IEC 61000–2–2 standard defines the compatibility levels to evaluate the conducted disturbances in the low voltage grid for the 2-150 kHz range. For frequencies 9–150 kHz, they are defined in terms of quasi peak values ...
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ...
Simplified Formulae for the Estimation of Offshore Wind Turbines Clutter on Marine Radars
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
The potential impact that offshore wind farms may cause on nearby marine radars should be considered before the wind farm is installed. Strong radar echoes from the turbines may degrade radars' detection capability in the ...
