A numerical methodology is proposed for the calculation of transient electromagnetic interference induced by overhead high-voltage power lines in metallic structures buried soil—pipelines oil or gas transportation. series 2D finite element simulations was employed to sample harmonic response a given geometry section. The inverse Laplace transform results allowed obtaining time domain evolution ...

Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSN) constitute one of the promising application areas of the recently developed wireless sensor networking techniques. The main difference between WUSN and the terrestrial wireless sensor networks is the communication medium. The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic (EM) waves in soil and the significant differences between propagation in air pr...

This work proposes a piecewise linear network model to approximate structures observed in an image. An energy function is used to capture the characteristics of the structure. The energy function consists of two parts: the prior energy term and the data energy term. The prior energy term is calculated using prior information about the structures of interest. The data energy term is calculated u...

Due to the high attenuation of radio frequency (RF) signals in underground mines and the statutory power restriction of communication gadgets especially for coal mines, the wireless communication systems have restricted applications in the underground mines. The paper discusses different radio frequency communication techniques being employed for Indian underground mines. Experiments were condu...

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a process for storing and delivering energy as electricity. A CAES facility consists of an electric generation system and an energy storage system. Only earth based geological structures can currently store adequate potential energy in the form of a pressurized air mass required by commercial electric turbines. Earth based structures suitable for service ...
