It consisted of 40 panels arranged in a ’horseshoe’ shape in a room measuring 10 by 17 meters. The 40 panels housed the different units making up the ENIAC, connected to each other by electrical cables. The configuration of these cables was part of the way the machine was programmed to solve a specific problem. Instead of writing instructions and loading them into memory, the ENIAC operated bas...

177  Abstract—The electrical energy is distributed worldwide by overhead transmission lines or cables from generating stations. However, power systems are still needed at locations which are isolated or far from electrical energy suppliers. Renewable energy resources in micro-grid power systems are interesting topics of recent research as environmental pollution and scarcity of energy resource...

Determining the aging state of low-voltage nuclear power plant cables using a nondestructive and reliable condition monitoring technique is highly desirable as experience multiple stresses during service period. This paper deals with implementation investigation such techniques, which can detect overall instrumentation control (I&C) cables, are subjected to accelerated thermal aging. The di...

The marine environment in which offshore wind turbines are located is very complex and subjected to a variety of random loads that vary with time space. As an important component power, the cable also bears impact most located. Under long-term action mechanical stresses such as tension, torsion, vibration, insulation will crack due stress fatigue leading partial discharge, seriously affects its...

Polyethylene exhibits many key characteristics including low dielectric loss, high breakdown strength and good processability. Most modern extruded high voltage cables employ cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as the insulation material. The main advantage of XLPE is its excellent thermo-mechanical properties; it is relatively cheap and has low dielectric loss and low conductivity making it an id...

A few previous reports have described cases wherein electrical wire cables were inserted into the male urethra and bladder. Electrical wire cables are available at home and are easy to insert. However, after they coil in the patient's bladder, they are difficult to remove. In February 2013, a 30-year-old man presented to the emergency room of SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center with a urethral forei...

High temperature superconducting (HTS) cables are drawing attention as transmission and distribution cables in future grid, and related researches on HTS cables have been conducted actively. As HTS cables have come to the demonstration stage, failures of cooling systems inducing quench phenomenon of the HTS cables have become significant. Several diagnosis of the HTS cables have been developed ...

ii Τὸ εὖ γίνεσθαι μὲν παρὰ μικρόν, οὐ μὴν μικρὸν εἶναι. Abstract The world's first commercial High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission link was built in 1954 between the Swedish mainland and the island of Gotland. At that time, it was proved that HVDC transmission is technically feasible. Since then, HVDC cable systems have been used worldwide in electrical energy transportation. Most HV...

In the era of Internet Things (IoT), electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS) are massively hosted everywhere in many fields where transfer energy and information is a fundamental pillar to guarantee good performance system. addition, huge technological industrial uprising ensured by emerging fourth Industrial Revolution forcing machines instruments toward massive transformations more c...
