A conventional bus service has a line plan that consists of a set of lines with fixed routes designed to operate under normal conditions. Thus, the performance of the service depends on how stable those conditions are. ...

This article presents an alternative transmission line model, using the formulation of the Folded Line Equivalent (FLE). The model is based on Norton equivalents derived from the FLE short-circuit and open-circuit admittance ...

A transmission line digital model is developed direct in the phase and time domains. The successive modal transformations considered in the three-phase representation are simplified and then the proposed model can be easily ...

This paper proposes a set of performance factors for load characterization and revenue metering. They are based on the Conservative Power Theory, and each of them relates to a specific load non-ideality (unbalance, reactivity, ...

The traditional methodology for defining the ampacity of overhead lines is based on conservative criteria regarding the operating conditions of the line, leading to the so-called static line rating. Although this procedure ...

In this work it is presented a methodology applied by Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN, Brazil) in order to assess its blast furnace 3 carbon refractory hearth lining conditions. The aim of the investigation was the ...

Polymer processing is a fundamental key to achieve the desired properties to reach the needs of polymer applications. Thus, it is important to understand how the processing can contribute to material characteristics during ...
