Pumped storage units bring stability to the electrical power system, so they must remain connected to the grid even during grid faults. In this paper, the authors propose efficient and simple solutions for a doubly fed induction machine pumped storage (DFIMPS) system during grid faults. In case of balanced grid faults, a control reconfiguration strategy is introduced and a hardware solution is ...

Grid computing is one of the fastest emerging technologies within the high performance computing environment. Grid deployments that require access to and processing of data are called data grids. They are optimized for data oriented operation. In a data grid environment, data replication is an effective way to improve data accessibility. However, due to limited storage, a replica replacement st...

The Resource management in a grid environment is complex. Scheduling strategy plays an important role in the grid environment to schedule the user jobs, and dispatch them to appropriate grid resources. A good task scheduling method is essential to reduce the total time taken for job execution in the grid. In a grid environment, the jobs are processed at the grid resources in a fine-grained form...

In data grid, large quantity of data files is produced and data replication is applied to reduce data access time. Efficiently utilizing grid resources becomes important research issue since available resources in grid are limited while large number of workloads and large size of data files are produced. Dynamic replication in data grid aims to reduce data access time and to utilize network and...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their integration in the smart grid are challenges that sustainable societies have to tackle. Large scale uncoordinated EV charging increases peak demand and creates the need for extra grid infrastructure to be covered effectively, which is a costly solution. We propose a decentralized charging strategy for EV customers that offers savings for the individual adopters...
