Central Station Electric Power for Railroad Operation

Secure Electric Power Grid Operation

This thesis examines two problems concerning the secure and reliable operation of the electric power grid. The first part studies the distributed operation of the electric power grid using the power flow problem, which is vital to the operation of the grid. The power flow problem is a feasibility problem for finding an assignment of complex bus voltages that satisfies the power flow equations a...

Design of Micro - Hydro - Electric Power Station

Micro-hydro-electric power is both an efficient and reliable formof clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from small rivers and streams. The micro-hydro project designed to be a run -of-river type, because it requires very little or no reservoir in order to power the turbine. The water will run straight through the turbine and back into t...

Pedestrian Behavior Understanding at Railroad Station

Protection of critical transportation infrastructure such as railroad station is an important topic in these days. In this paper, we develop a new rule based approach to video surveillance system for detecting situations where pedestrians may be in peril, as well as suspicious action or interactions at railroad station. We analyze here two general types of pedestrian involved behaviors: (i) sin...
