We demonstrate the feasibility of using novel, small energy harvesters to power atmospheric sensors and radios simply attached to a single conductor of existing overhead power distribution lines. We demonstrate the ability to harvest the required power for operating multiple atmospheric and power-system sensors, together with short-range radios that could broadcast atmospheric sensor data to th...

abstract in this paper, a fuzzy pid with new structure is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. in this study, a new structure and effective of the fuzzy pid-type load frequency control (lfc) is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. the main objective is to eliminate the deviations in the frequency of different area...

In this demonstration we present the MICIE platform for on-line risk assessment in scenarios with heterogeneous interdependent Critical Infrastructures (CIs) such as power distribution networks, power plants, refineries, water distribution networks, transportation systems and telecommunication networks. These CIs are highly exposed to a large number of threats, including natural hazards, compon...

A diagnostic of a power law distribution is that a log-log plot of frequency against rank yields a (nearly) straight line. For instance, Zipf (1935) plotted word token counts in a variety of texts against the inverse rank of each distinct word type and showed that typically such plots approximate a straight line. The characteristic ‘Zipf curve’ of word frequency against rank deviates from this ...
