The Estimation Of Continuous Pq Disturbance Levels In Distribution Systems, Victor J. Gosbell, D A. Robinson

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

A simple method is given for estimating the continuous PQ disturbance level at a site. It is based on determining a "Voltage Distortion Increment" (VDI) for each segment of the network and then adding the VDIs from a given site back to an upstream site where levels are taken to be zero. The VDI is conveniently expressible in the form of S(MVA) times length (km), where "length" correspond to the physical length in the case of MV overhead lines and an equivalent length for other components. The method is verified by a comparison with field survey data. The voltage distortion …

Information hiding can be performed under the guise of a digital image. We consider the following scenario: Alice and Bob share an image and would like to use it as a cover image to communicate a message m. We are interested in answering two questions: What is the maximum amount of information that can be sent for a given level of degradation to an image? and How can this level of efficiency be achieved in practice? We require the recovered message to be the same as the embedded one. Our model begins with Alice compressing a message to obtain a …
