Veículos elétricos conectados a Smart Grids: os desafios do fluxo bidirecional de cargas (V2G)

Optimisation de la diffusion de l'énergie dans les smarts-grids. (Energy distribution optimisation in Smart Grids)

Current technological systems include a societal component due to the impact of users. These complex systems contain numerous sub-systems which actors have conflicting even antagonist objectives. Considered as the evolution of the current Power Grid, the Smart Grid is a perfect example of complex system. This term refers to an electrical optimized network integrating the behavior and actions of...

Inovação e Reuso: Desafios para o Ensino e a Prática do Design de IHC

In this work, we investigate the motivations of Computer Science students to consult existing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design solutions. We discuss the results considering theories and practices well known in the literature, and we conclude with some challenges for the teaching and practice of HCI design.

Snake-3D na Modelagem Tridimensional e Medição do Comprimento de Arcos Elétricos

It is proposed a novel approach based on a three-dimensional active contour (3D-snake), for the tracking and measurement of the length of artificially generated electrical arcs captured by a calibrated pair of cameras. The 3D-snake is represented by a B-spline which evolves in 3D space constrained by internal and external forces. The external forces come from pairs of images of the arc in evolu...

Privacy preservation for V2G networks in smart grid: A survey

Vehicle to grid (V2G) network is a crucial part of smart grid. An electric vehicle (EV) in a V2G network uses electricity instead of gasoline, and this benefits the environment and helps mitigate the energy crisis. By using its battery capacity, the vehicle can serve temporarily as a distributed energy storage system to mitigate peak load of the power grid. However, the two-way communication an...
