Electric vehicles (EVs) require an onboard battery charger unit and a management system (BMS) that balances the voltage levels for each cell. So far, both units are two completely autarkic power electronics systems. The circuit presented here operates as when EV is connected to grid balancer driving. Thus, proposed utilises functions in one therefore eliminates need of having reducing complexit...

Driven by increasing in the demand for cloud computing, providers are constantly seeking configuration mechanisms designed to simply install a reliable and easy-to-manage architecture—similar installing an operating system on computer using thumb drive. Accordingly, software components can be packaged into lightweight portable containers, then easily deployed managed through orchestration tools...

9 The information power grid (IPG) being developed by NASA is designed to harness, the power of geographically distributed computers, databases, and human expertise, in order to solve large-scale realistic computational problems. This type of a metacomputing infrastructure is necessary to present a unified virtual machine to application developers that hides the intricacies of a highly heteroge...

THE TOOL-SET for PVM will comprise a set of integrated tools which can either be used individually or in concert. THE TOOL-SET will be composedof a debugger, a performance analyzer, a visualizer, a deterministic execution controller, a load balancer including a checkpointgenerator,and a parallel file system. All tools will be available under the GNU General Public License Agreement. First versi...

The authors report the development of the laboratory model of a microcontroller-based Static Var Compensator (SVC). A prototype of an automatically controlled voltage balancer using thyristors valves to switch the capacitors and inductors has been investigated. A digital control scheme incorporating a microcontroller is developed. At each sampling time, the loading conditions are measured by a ...
