A Refined General Summation Law For Vu Emission Assessment In Radial Networks, Jayatunga Vitharanage Upuli Priyadarshani Jayatunga, Sarath Perera, Philip Ciufo, Ashish P. Agalgaonkar Jan 2015

A Refined General Summation Law For Vu Emission Assessment In Radial Networks, Jayatunga Vitharanage Upuli Priyadarshani Jayatunga, Sarath Perera, Philip Ciufo, Ashish P. Agalgaonkar

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Voltage unbalance (VU) management of power systems requires the development of well researched engineering practices to maintain acceptable VU levels while utilising the total VU absorption capacity of the power system. In this regard, IEC/TR 61000-3-13:2008 prescribes a VU emission allocation methodology based on a stochastic approach which uses a general summation law in order to aggregate numerous sources of unbalance to take into account their random variations. On the other hand, recent deterministic studies on VU emission assessment at the post-connection stage of unbalanced installations present a complex VU factor based approach to determine constituent components of the post-connection …


Velocity Distribution In Non-Uniform/Unsteady Flows And The Validity Of Log Law, Ishraq Alfadhli, Shu-Qing Yang, Muttucumaru Sivakumar Jan 2013

Velocity Distribution In Non-Uniform/Unsteady Flows And The Validity Of Log Law, Ishraq Alfadhli, Shu-Qing Yang, Muttucumaru Sivakumar

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

This study investigates the longitudinal velocity profiles in steady and unsteady non-uniform open channel flows by analyzing the data available in the literature. It was found that for steady/unsteady flow in the Log law is applicable only in the inner region where y/hg


Location Privacy Under Dire Threat As Uberveillance Stalks The Streets, Katina Michael, Roger Clarke Jan 2012

Location Privacy Under Dire Threat As Uberveillance Stalks The Streets, Katina Michael, Roger Clarke

Associate Professor Katina Michael

Location tracking and monitoring applications have proliferated with the arrival of smart phones that are equipped with onboard global positioning system (GPS) chipsets. It is now possible to locate a smart phone user down to 10 metres of accuracy on average. Innovators have been quick to capitalise on this emerging market by introducing novel pedestrian tracking technologies which can denote the geographic path of a mobile user. At the same time there is contention by law enforcement personnel over the need for a warrant process to track an individual in a public space. This paper considers the future of location …


Why Don't We Teach Software Engineers About The Law?, Anne Fuller, Peter Croll Jan 2002

Why Don't We Teach Software Engineers About The Law?, Anne Fuller, Peter Croll

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Much work has been done in recent years developing software engineering curricula. SE research has traditionally focused on the needs of very large corporations undertaking equally mammoth and complex development projects, consequently, current curricula tend to focus on this model. Yet by far the majority of software development is undertaken by Small to Medium Enterprises. The rise of the internet as a platform for commercial applications has partly driven this move away from monolithic software development. Depending on the nature of the application itself many of these products can be described as 'critical' with the failure of such a product …
