As far as the design of SPDs is concerned, the need exists for simplifying its circuit structure in fulfilment of the prerequisite condition of protective reliability. The circuit simplification for SPDs is of benefit to lower the cost of manufacture and reduce the size of chassis. Considering that the traditional SPD that has been extensively used on single-phase AC power supply lines requires...

Abstract Floating wind turbines (FWTs) with shared mooring systems can be one of the most cost- effective solutions in reducing costs. First, static configuration a line is estimated using elastic catenary equation. The present study investigates global responses two FWT system. Two configurations different horizontal distances between FWTs are considered. In first configuration, placed 750m ap...

A unified database platform capable of storing both motion captured data and information about these motions (metadata) is described. The platform stores large motion captured data in order to be used by different applications for searching, comparing, analyzing and updating existing motions. The platform is intended to be used to choose a realistic motion in simulation of production lines. It ...

For a mobile manipulator to be used in areas such as offices and houses, it is desirable that the mobile platform be small sized. In the case of a small-sized platform, the mobile manipulator may tip over when moving at high speed or executing tasks in the presence of disturbances. Therefore, it is necessary to simultaneously consider both stabilization and manipulation while coordinating vehic...

Metal oxide surge arresters (ZNO) are used widely in power system to protect equipments from over voltages. Non uniform potential distribution leads to the depressed service life and low safe reliability, so grading ring is applied on HV surge arrester order to uniform the electric field distribution. One of the problems of arresters is leakage current in power frequency that different paramet...
