This paper aims to evaluate the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of importing electrical power into Singapore, generated from a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in Australia, through long-distance subsea high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable. A cost optimization model was developed estimate capacities system components. comprehensive assessment built manufacturing and use t...

We present an algorithm for the real-time simulation of virtual cables using inverse kinematics. A cable is modeled by consecutive cylinder segments of equal size. The segments are connected by ball joints. At every joint there is a spiral spring acting against the excursion of the joint. Given a start and an end position of the cable, the algorithm calculates the shape of the cable that leads ...

In this paper we study the problem of manipulating and transporting multiple objects on the plane using a cable attached at each end to a mobile robot. This problem is motivated by the use of boats with booms in skimming operations for cleaning oil spills or removing debris on the surface of the water. The goal in this paper is to automate the task of separating the objects of interest from a c...

This paper investigates the performance of the semiactive control system based on magnetorheological fluid (MR) dampers for suppressing excessive vibration of stay cable installed in cable-stayed bridges under wind load. The cable model is extracted from a 156.3 m long stay cable with high tension. The external wind load is generated from the widely used wind load spectrum such as the Kaimal sp...

Short-circuit calculations are extremely important in the application and setting of protective relays and the analysis of power system operations. This paper illustrates the calculation of fault currents and voltages during intermediate faults in underground cables, taking into consideration the cable sheath bonding and grounding method. The compensated ground loop impedance for faults along t...

A parametric macro model for a single and dual conductor power cable for transient thermo-electrical coupled simulation in PSPICE will be derived. The articledepicts the modelling of a simplified, singleand dual conductor cable and its use during simulation. Its verification against experiment and finite element simulation shows a good agreement. The derived singleand dual conductor PSPICE cabl...

The NIST RoboCrane is a cable-suspended robot with the potential to reduce the disadvantages of conventional cranes. One weakness of the RoboCrane is the need for at least three fixed rigid support points for the six overhead cable connections. In many potential applications, these rigid support points are simply not available. This article presents a new RoboCrane support concept based on rigi...
