Dynamic control over real and reactive power flow is one of the key areas of concern for the modern grid. Traditional FACTS-based devices have proven to be too costly and complex to achieve any significant market penetration. Modifying existing transmission assets to make them controllable may be a cost-effective method of increasing the grid controllability. […]
Read moreIn this paper, we consider the problem of distributed parameter estimation in imperfect environments for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By imperfect environments, we refer to distortions that can be caused by sensor noise, quantization noise and channel effect. A novel statistical model is proposed to quantify these errors in WSNs. The first and second order […]
Read moreThe current evolution of system architectures leads towards implementation of large number of processor cores into the same circuit. This evolution actually supports the performance increase and provides the capability to support the execution of very complex applications. Nevertheless, if these new architectures propose high computational performances, an important bottleneck appears for the communications between […]
