State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Smart Grid Applications for a Practical Implementation of IP over Narrowband Power Line Communications
(MDPI, 2017-11-06)
Abstract
Currently, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems have equipped the low voltage section with a communication system that is being used mainly for metering purposes, but it can be further employed for ...
Field Trials for the Characterization of Non-Intentional Emissions at Low-Voltage Grid in the Frequency Range Assigned to NB-PLC Technologies
(MDPI, 2019-09-18)
The paper describes the results of a measurement campaign to characterize the non-intentional emissions (NIE) that are present in the low voltage section of the electrical grid, within the frequency range assigned to ...
A comprehensive review of the impact of transmission technologies on the electrical grid
(Imprenta Universidad de Antioquia, 2019-05-17)
The electrical infrastructure needs the integration of communication technologies, and in recent decades the progress has been significant. Therefore, this work presents the latest advances in this subject, as well as new ...
Mitigation Techniques to Reduce the Impact of Wind Turbines on Radar Services
(MDPI, 2013-06)
Radar services are occasionally affected by wind farms. This paper presents a comprehensive description of the effects that a wind farm may cause on the different radar services, and it compiles a review of the recent ...
Aspects of quality control of wind profiler measurements in complex topography
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
It is well known in the scientific community that some remote sensing instruments assume that sample volumes present homogeneous conditions within a defined meteorological profile. At complex topographic sites and under ...
Influence of Training Set Selection in Artificial Neural Network-Based Propagation Path Loss Predictions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
This paper analyzes the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the received power/path loss in both outdoor and indoor links. The approach followed has been a combined use of ANNs and ray-tracing, the ...
Enhanced Operation of Electricity Distribution Grids Through Smart Metering PLC Network Monitoring, Analysis and Grid Conditioning
(MDPI, 2013-01)
Low Voltage (LV) electricity distribution grid operations can be improved through a combination of new smart metering systems' capabilities based on real time Power Line Communications (PLC) and LV grid topology mapping. ...
Analysis of the Channel Influence to Power Line Communications Based on ITU-T G.9904 (PRIME)
(MDPI, 2016-01)
ITU-T G.9904 standard, also known as PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution (PRIME), is a Power Line Communications standard for advanced metering, grid control and asset monitoring defined by the International ...
A uniform phase representation for the harmonic model in speech synthesis applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-10-16)
Feature-based vocoders, e.g., STRAIGHT, offer a way to manipulate the perceived characteristics of the speech signal in speech transformation and synthesis. For the harmonic model, which provide excellent perceived quality, ...
