The concept of power system vulnerability assessment combines information on the level of system security as well as information on a wide range of situations, events and contingencies with regards to which a system is vulnerable. This paper attempts to investigate and evaluate the effect of line outage, generation outage and amount of load disconnected on the power transmission network losses of a large size power system. These effects will be investigated and evaluated using new proposed method based on vulnerability index of power system loss. The objectives of this work is to evaluate and compare the efficiency of the …


System Architecture And Mobility Management For Mobile Immersive Communications, Mehran Dowlatshahi, Farzad Safaei Jan 2007

System Architecture And Mobility Management For Mobile Immersive Communications, Mehran Dowlatshahi, Farzad Safaei

We propose a system design for delivery of immersive communications to mobile wireless devices based on a distributed proxy model. It is demonstrated that this architecture addresses key technical challenges for the delivery of these services, that is, constraints on link capacity and power consumption in mobile devices. However, additional complexity is introduced with respect to application layer mobility management. The paper proposes three possible methods for updating proxy assignments in response to mobility management and compares the performance of these methods.


Rfid-Based Anti-Theft Auto Security System With An Immobilizer, Geeth Jayendra, Sisil Kumarawadu, Lasantha Meegahapola Jan 2007

Rfid-Based Anti-Theft Auto Security System With An Immobilizer, Geeth Jayendra, Sisil Kumarawadu, Lasantha Meegahapola

This paper presents a novel radio frequency identification (RFID) based vehicle immobilizer system, which features low hacking probability while preserving the safety of the passengers of the hijacked vehicle. The immobilizer uses the active RFID technology where the tag is generated with comparatively large character sets. The receiving unit is intelligently integrated into three control circuits in the vehicle, namely, ignition circuit, power control unit, and automatic gear changing system, enabling it to bring the vehicle speed down to zero in a safe step by step manner. The anti-theft auto security system proposed here was tested under different weather conditions …


Application Of Semistructured Data Model To The Implementation Of Semantic Content-Based Video Retrieval System, Lilac A. E. Al-Safadi, Janusz R. Getta Jan 2007

Semantic indexing of a video document is a process that performs the identification of elementary and complex semantic units in the indexed document in order to create a semantic index defined as a mapping of semantic units into the sequences of video frames. Semantic content-based video retrieval system is a software system that uses a semantic index built over a collection of video documents to retrieve the sequences of video frames that satisfy the given conditions. This work introduces a new multilevel view of data for the semantic content-based video retrieval systems. At the topmost level, we define an abstract …


New Method Vulnerability Assessment Of Power System, Ahmed M. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini Hussain Jan 2007

New Method Vulnerability Assessment Of Power System, Ahmed M. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini Hussain

Vulnerability assessment in power systems is to determine a power system`s ability to continue to provide service in case of an unforeseen catastrophic contingency. It combines information on the level of system security as well as information on a wide range of scenarios, events and contingencies. To assess the level of system strength or weakness relative to the occurrence of an undesired event, a quantitative measure based on vulnerability index is often considered. In this study, a new vulnerability assessment method is proposed based on total power system loss which considers power generation loss due to generation outage, power line …
