A Study Of The Status And Future Of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage In Power Systems, X Xue, Eric Cheng, Danny Sutanto
A Study Of The Status And Future Of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage In Power Systems, X Xue, Eric Cheng, Danny Sutanto
Professor Darmawan Sutanto
Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems offering flexible, reliable, and fast acting power compensation are applicable to power systems to improve power system stabilities and to advance power qualities. The authors have summarized researches on SMES applications to power systems. Furthermore, various SMES applications to power systems have been described briefly and some crucial schematic diagrams and equations are given. In addition, this study presents valuable suggestions for future studies of SMES applications to power systems. Hence, this paper is helpful for co-researchers who want to know about the status of SMES applications to power systems.
A Study Of Continuous Pq Disturbance Levels In Mv/Lv Distribution Systems, Victor Gosbell, D Robinson
A Study Of Continuous Pq Disturbance Levels In Mv/Lv Distribution Systems, Victor Gosbell, D Robinson
Dr Duane Robinson
Distribution Network Service Providers need to be aware of the general variation of PQ disturbances across their network, from the sites as diverse as the MV bus bar of a zone substation, the end of a MV feeder, and at the near and far ends of LV mains. This paper develops an understanding of PQ variations across such a system from survey results correlated with approximate analysis used to assign a PQ disturbance ranking to each site. The work will concentrate on continuous PQ disturbances, defined as those due to load current effects, for example voltage deviations, unbalance, fluctuations and …
Nursing Information Systems: Applying Usability Testing To Assess The Training Needs For Nursing Students, Yiyu Qiu, Ping Yu
Nursing Information Systems: Applying Usability Testing To Assess The Training Needs For Nursing Students, Yiyu Qiu, Ping Yu
Dr Ping Yu
Objective: In order to ensure the successful implementation of a nursing information system (NIS), nurses and nursing students must be adequately trained. In order to do this effectively, it is essential to understand their training needs. This study focuses on the training needs of nursing students in particular through the identification of the usage problems they encounter. Usability testing, which involves observing users' interaction with an NIS, overcomes the deficiencies of traditional approaches of training needs analysis such as interview and survey. The study applied usability test to assess training needs of nursing students to learn to use a specific …
A Preliminary Investigation Of Complex Adaptive Systems As A Model For Explaining Organisational Change Caused By The Introduction Of Health Information Systems, Kieren Diment, Ping Yu, Karin Garrety
A Preliminary Investigation Of Complex Adaptive Systems As A Model For Explaining Organisational Change Caused By The Introduction Of Health Information Systems, Kieren Diment, Ping Yu, Karin Garrety
Dr Ping Yu
This paper documents the preliminary development of a framework for evaluating organisational change processes during the implementation of an electronic nursing documentation system in residential aged care facilities. It starts with a brief outline of organisational change processes. This is followed by a more detailed exposition of the principles underlying complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory, where we explain how mathematical concepts can be used to illuminate qualitative research approaches. Finally we present some preliminary findings on the facilitators and barriers for the introduction of the electronic documentation system, explained with reference to the CAS theory, based on analysis of interviews …
Design Of A High Temperature Superconductor Magnetic Energy Storage Systems, R L Causley, Christopher Cook, Steve Gower
Design Of A High Temperature Superconductor Magnetic Energy Storage Systems, R L Causley, Christopher Cook, Steve Gower
Christopher Cook
The University of Wollongong (UoW) has received funding for the research and development of a 20 kJ high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage device (HTS SMES). This SMES will be operated at 25 K in contrast to most existing HTS designs, which operate at 77K. This paper includes a literature review of the current technology for the configuration of the SMES coil and a summary of the work done at UoW to date. Solenoidal and toroidal coils designs are compared to determine which will provide the required level of energy stored for a minimum superconductor and device volume. The design …
