In the generation of photoemitted electron bunches for the use in accelerators, metals are limited by their low QE. Previous work [P. Musumeci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110(2013)] has shown that charge yield from infrared light is increased by a factor of 120 by etching nanopatterns into the cathode. However, utility of the electron bunch is also based on its thermal emittance, or angular spread...

network expansion studies normally offer new power lines, new substations or expansion of existing substations. they are generally proposed based on technical requirements, but financial restrictions are not considered. because of financial restrictions, ranking of network expansion plans is required. in this paper an algorithm for such ranking, based on technical and financial view points and ...

This paper describes an inverter-interfaced distributed generation system that is interconnected with the electric power system. This system has two main goals: to serve customers with reliable electric power and to improve power quality. This system is interfaced through inverters because they are effective to control output voltage and current. Because DGs are interconnected with the electric...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. the critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...
