Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCLs) are used in power system network to mitigate the overcurrent and its prominent effects. Nowadays, Coated Conductors (CCs) are widely used for novel design of SFCL for such applications. In this paper, comparative study on the operational characteristics of Resistive-SFCL based on BSCCO and YBCO Coated Conductors under fault condition is analyzed for an 110kV/9kA network. Also Electro-thermal Model of Coated Conductor is studied in MATLAB software. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed Resistive-SFCL, several case studies of Coated Conductors have been carried out in MATLAB. The results show the choice of optimal configuration of CCs as SFCL which effectively improves the thermal stability and current limiting characteristics under fault condition in the network.
Optical burst switching (OBS) is developed as an alternative switching technology, which combines advantages of both Optical circuit switching (OCS) and Optical packet switching (OPS) and avoids the disadvantages. In OBS control packet called control burst is separated from data packet called data burst. A control burst is sent in advance, which configures the switches in the path for the data burst. Due to lack of adequate contention resolution technique data burst loss is high in OBS. Schemes such as fiber delay line (FDL), wavelength conversion, deflection routing are the solution to prevent network congestion. But they have their own limitations. So a contention resolution technique is needed in OBS. In this paper we propose a scheme to minimize contention and to control traffic flow in the network. The proposed scheme logically divides a given network to clusters and selects a node as cluster head from each cluster. Cluster head keeps track of the resources available in the network and exchange the status of the resources among themselves to maintain up-to-date information. A node within a cluster that wishes to send a burst make request to its cluster head for a available wavelength on the path to destination. If a unused wavelength is available on the path to its destination, then it send a reply message with the available wavelength else send a reply no wavelength is available. Node after receiving a reply from the cluster head send a control burst followed by data burst on the wavelength that it has received from cluster head. If the reply says no wavelength is available then it waits for some specified time and sends another request. Since the cluster heads maintain the status of the resources at any time, t, it will minimize the contention of bursts. We made a comparison between the different techniques using simulation. Our simulation result shows propose method gives lower burst loss.
For channel routing problems, Deutsch's channel examples were used extensively as benchmarks for testing new algorithms. However, it is also important to test the performance of channel routing algorithms on a wider variety of difficult examples. In this paper, we present a random channel routing generator which can generate difficult channel routing instances of arbitrary size. In this paper our goal is to generate those channels using Genetic Algorithm, which have maximum constraints (both vertical and horizontal constraint).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
