Circuit Emulation Service (CES) o ers backward compatibility between Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology and the existing circuit-switched telephony services. However, meeting its quality of service requirements is not trivial. The cell transfer delay (CTD) of a connection should be controlled to be no larger than the delay in legacy circuit-switched networks, which usually imposes a co...

In piecewise-smooth dynamical systems, situations can arise where the asymptotic attractors of the system in an open parameter interval are all chaotic (e.g., no periodic windows). This is the phenomenon of robust chaos. Previous works have established that robust chaos can occur through the mechanism of border-collision bifurcation, where border is the phase-space region where discontinuities ...

High penetration of renewable energy poses a significant challenge in operation of power system. A potential solution for this problem is utilizing Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of BESS ability to peak shave and smooth the load curve of an actual circuit on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The distribution circuit has about 850 kW o...
