Economic Dispatch And Optimal Sizing Of Battery Energy Storage Systems In Utility Load-Leveling Operations, Chin H. Lo, Max Darwin Anderson Dec 1999

Economic Dispatch And Optimal Sizing Of Battery Energy Storage Systems In Utility Load-Leveling Operations, Chin H. Lo, Max Darwin Anderson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Battery energy storage (BES) systems show promise of savings for both the utility and the customer. An algorithm combining multi-pass dynamic programming (MPDP) with a time-shift technique has been developed for two purposes: economic dispatch of BES and finding optimal BES power and energy capacities in a power system. Due to the daily cyclic nature of the load curve, a 168-hour load curve is decomposed into seven 24-hour subsections for easy management. Each subsection is treated independently. Decomposition can save computation time and computer memory. A time-shift technique provides better starting state values and improves the finding process of the …

Measuring Information Quality Of Web Site: Development Of Instrument, P. Katerattanakul, Keng Siau Dec 1999

Measuring Information Quality Of Web Site: Development Of Instrument, P. Katerattanakul, Keng Siau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Web sites have been extensively used to provide information to consumers. While practitioners and researchers have proposed different criteria for effective Web site design based on common sense, intuition, and rules-ofthumb, effective Web site design focusing on the quality of the information it provides has rarely been studied. In this research, we propose a framework and develop an instrument to measure the information quality of individual or personal Web sites. The theoretical foundation of this research is the information quality framework. The proposed framework and instrument were tested in an individual or personal Web site context.

Mining Multiple-Level Association Rules In Large Databases, Jiawei Han, Yongjian Fu Dec 1999

Mining Multiple-Level Association Rules In Large Databases, Jiawei Han, Yongjian Fu

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

A top-down progressive deepening method is developed for efficient mining of multiple-level association rules from large transaction databases based on the Apriori principle. A group of variant algorithms is proposed based on the ways of sharing intermediate results, with the relative performance tested and analyzed. The enforcement of different interestingness measurements to find more interesting rules, and the relaxation of rule conditions for finding `level-crossing' association rules, are also investigated in the paper. Our study shows that efficient algorithms can be developed from large databases for the discovery of interesting and strong multiple-level association rules.

Optimal Power Allocation In Cdma Forward Link Using Dependency Between Pilot And Traffic Channels, Seung Jong Park, Dongwoo Kim, Chang Yeon Kim Dec 1999

Optimal Power Allocation In Cdma Forward Link Using Dependency Between Pilot And Traffic Channels, Seung Jong Park, Dongwoo Kim, Chang Yeon Kim

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper shows a new method for minimizing the transmit power on CDMA forward link channels. Different from previous works, the proposed method uses the dependency that exists between the respective signal qualities of the pilot channel and traffic channels. Since present CDMA forward link exploits coherent demodulation with continuously transmitting pilot signals, the stronger the pilot channel is, the less traffic power may be required while the same transmission quality is maintained. With laboratory tests, the dependency is graphed. And then an optimal pilot signal quality is found, which minimizes the total transmit power. Considering various mobile environments, -10 …

The Window Distribution Of Multiple Tcps With Random Loss Queues, Archan Misra, Teunis Ott, John Baras Dec 1999

The Window Distribution Of Multiple Tcps With Random Loss Queues, Archan Misra, Teunis Ott, John Baras

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Two approximate techniques for analyzing the window size distribution of TCP flows sharing a RED-like bottleneck queue are presented. Both methods presented first use a fixed point algorithm to obtain the mean window sizes of the flows, and the mean queue length in the bottleneck buffer. The simpler of the two methods then uses the ‘square root formula’ for TCP; the other method is more complicated. More often than not, the simpler method is slightly more accurate; this is probably due to the fact that window sizes of the different flows are negatively correlated.

Dielectric Plug-Loaded Two-Port Transmission Line Measurement Technique For Dielectric Property Characterization Of Granular And Liquid Materials, K. Mubarak, R. Zoughi, Aaron D. Benally, Karl Joseph Bois, Larry F. Handjojo Dec 1999

Dielectric Plug-Loaded Two-Port Transmission Line Measurement Technique For Dielectric Property Characterization Of Granular And Liquid Materials, K. Mubarak, R. Zoughi, Aaron D. Benally, Karl Joseph Bois, Larry F. Handjojo

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

There are numerous dielectric property characterization techniques available in the microwave regime each with its own uniqueness, advantages and disadvantages. The two-port completely-filled waveguide (transmission line) technique is a robust measurement approach which is well suited for solid dielectric materials. In this case, the dielectric material can be relatively easily machined to fit inside the waveguide and the subsequent measurement of the scattering parameters of this two-port device renders the dielectric properties of the material filling the waveguide. However, this technique is not well suited for measuring the dielectric properties of granular and liquid materials. These materials are used in …

Wide-Bandwidth Multi-Resolutional Analysis Of A Surface-Mounted Pm Synchronous Machine, S. D. Sudhoff, Jerry L. Tichenor, James L. Drewniak Dec 1999

Wide-Bandwidth Multi-Resolutional Analysis Of A Surface-Mounted Pm Synchronous Machine, S. D. Sudhoff, Jerry L. Tichenor, James L. Drewniak

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Advances in power semiconductor devices have led to inverters with unprecedented voltage edge rates. This has decreased inverter switching losses and enabled the use of increasingly higher switching frequencies. However, faster edge rates and higher switching frequencies increase electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems, machine insulation stress, bearing currents, and other aspects of system design. Typical computer simulations used to design and evaluate proposed electric drive systems cannot be used to predict these high-frequency effects. A wide-bandwidth multi-resolutional analysis that allows designers to anticipate and quantify high-frequency effects is detailed in this paper. The approach is specifically applied to permanent magnet synchronous …

Imagining The Future: Training Hong Kong Lawyers For The 21 St Century, David N. Smith Dec 1999

Imagining The Future: Training Hong Kong Lawyers For The 21 St Century, David N. Smith

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Hong Kong must commit itself now to becoming one of the leaders in legal education in Asia and the world. To do so, it must dramatically rethink the structure, process and content of legal education. This will not be easy, but it is essential if Hong Kong is to continue to serve as one of the great centres of finance, trade and technology in the world and if it is to maintain and secure a position of leadership in 21st century China and the Pacific region.
