Control of Power Flow in Transmission Lines using Distributed Series ReactorsNazir, Mohammad Nawaf 19 June 2015 (has links)
Distributed Series Reactors (DSRs) can be used to control power flow to more fully utilize the capacity of a transmission network, delaying investment in new transmission lines. In this study the IEEE 39 bus standard test system is modified to a 3-phase, unbalanced model consisting of 230 kV, 345 kV and 500 kV lines, where lines of different voltage run in parallel. This model is used to study load growth and the effect of adding DSRs to alleviate resulting overloads, and in particular to alleviate overloads on lines of different voltage running in parallel. The economic benefit of adding DSRs to the network is compared to the addition of new transmission lines in the network. In the second part of the work, the effect of unsymmetrical operation of DSRs on a single transmission line is studied and compared to the symmetrical operation of DSRs. It is found that the unsymmetrical operation of DSRs is more economical. Finally the unsymmetrical operation of DSRs to reduce voltage imbalance in the network is considered. / Master of Science

Coding performance on satellite channels using AX.25 protocolJesser, William Augustus 30 June 2009 (has links)
A form of data transmission which is increasing in popularity is satellite communication. In order to insure that data is received correctly, certain error control strategies are employed. In packetized transmission, automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) schemes and error correcting codes have been employed. Currently a combination of both is not employed by the AX.25 protocol. The purpose of this project is to determine which error correcting code should be combined with ARQ to provide the optimum performance.
This project investigates the performance of the (7,4) Hamming code, (23,12) Golay code, Reed-Solomon, RS , codes over the Galois fields of 16, GF(16), and 256, GF(256), elements, and common rate convolutional codes of various constraint lengths. The codes are evaluated on three primary criteria, which include: throughput vs. input bit error rate, coding complexity, and burst error performance.
The class of Reed-Solomon codes over GF(256) was chosen to be superior due to the throughput and burst error performance. The encoding complexity is small, but the decoding is more complicated. The conclusion is that error correcting codes should be employed in ARQ satellite systems. However, the error correcting strength of the code must be determined by observing the channel characteristics. / Master of Science

A heuristic method for reducing message redundancy in a file transfer environmentBodwell, William Robert January 1976 (has links)
Intercomputer communications involves the transfer of information between intelligent hosts. Since communication costs are almost proportional to the amount of data transferred, the processing capability of the respective hosts might advantageously be applied through pre-processing and post-processing of data to reduce redundancy. The major emphasis of this research is development of the Substitution Method which minimizes data transfer between hosts required to reconstruct user JCL files, Fortran source files, and data files.
The technique requires that a set of user files for each category of files be examined to determine the frequency distribution of symbols, fixed strings, and repeated symbol strings to determine symbol and structural redundancy. Information gathered during the examination of these files when combined with the user created Source Language Syntax Table generate Encoding/Decoding Tables which are used to reduce both symbol and structural redundancy. The Encoding/Decoding Tables allow frequently encountered strings to be represented by only one or two symbols through the utilization of table shift symbols. The table shift symbols allow less frequently encountered symbols of the original alphabet to be represented as an entry in a Secondary Encoding/Decoding Table. A technique is described which enables a programmer to easily modify his Fortran program such that he can take advantage of the Substitution Method's ability to compress data files by removing both informational and structural redundancy.
Each user file requested to be transferred is preprocessed at cost, C[prep], to reduce data (both symbol and structural redundancy) which need not be transferred for faithful reproduction of the file. The file is transferred over a noiseless channel at cost, C[ptran]. The channel consists of presently available or proposed services of the common-carriers and specialized common-carriers. The received file is post-processed to reconstruct the original source file at cost, C[post]. The costs associated with pre-processing, transferring, and post-processing are compared with the cost, C[otran], of transferring the entire file in its original form. / Ph. D.

Transparent Asynchronous Transmitter Receiver Interface (TAXI) communications for fiber optic data linksSankaran, Mahadevan 10 January 2009 (has links)
Serial or parallel data links have been the primary tools of data transfer across physical layer boundaries for point-to-point communication systems. However there exists a tradeoff between these two kinds of data transfer mechanisms based on their cost-effectiveness and complexity. A recent technological advancement has altered this trade-off considerations. A new chip-set from Advanced Micro Devices offers a high performance integrated alternative to traditional serial/parallel data transfer techniques. The Transparent Asynchronous Transmitter Receiver Interface chipset offers a new means to establish a transparent high speed serial link between two high performance parallel buses. The current TAXlchip set has a maximum effective data rate throughput of 140Mbps which is ten times faster than the RS-422 drivers and receivers. The TAXIchip set can be used in conjunction with the optical components and optical fiber to form a simple fiber optic communication link. The inherent advantages of optical communications can be combined with the versatility of the TAXIchip set to establish TAXI links using optical fiber to cover distances up to several kilometers.
This thesis will systematically develop on the TAXI communication system Focus of the effort will be on understanding the functionality of the building blocks of the TAXIchip set and the encoding and decoding schemes of the chip set. On obtaining a complete understanding of the communication system fundamentals the communication system will be interfaced to the optical media with a specific reference to the development of the Optical Slip Ring. / Master of Science

Evaluating the effectiveness of mobile telecommunication services in Durban and Lagos.Abatan, Omotayo Kayode. 11 September 2013 (has links)
Telecommunication includes voice, video and internet communication services. Thus, mobile
telecommunication services involve voice communication, video streaming, graphics and television
services at high speed. Technology development in mobile telecommunication has enabled users to
exchange data using cell phones, laptops and other telecommunication devices. More so, understanding
the concept of user experience is very important in the context of provision of mobile
telecommunication services.
This research will evaluate the effectiveness of mobile telecommunication services in Durban, South
Africa and Lagos, Nigeria amongst first-year IT students of the University of KwaZulu-Natal and Lagos
State University. The research is focused on the actual experience and perceptions of first-year IT
students. The study will examine the factors that influence first-year IT students' judgment of the
quality of mobile telecommunication services. It will also access the impact of quality of mobile
telecommunication services on the loyalty of first-year IT students towards their network operator.
However, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is the theory adopted for this research, which explains
how attitude of users determine the intention to use technology and the intention eventually influences
the overall use of such technology. The objectives of this research highlight opportunities associated
with understanding first-year IT students' experiences and perceptions of mobile telecommunication
services in UKZN, Durban and LASU, Lagos. Other opportunities include giving an insight into the
operations of network providers, determine the quality of mobile telecommunication services and
understanding the impact of mobile telecommunication services on students in UKZN and LASU.
Another significance of this study allows network providers to understand students' behaviour and to
respond to their preferences. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2011.

The design of a telemetry system for Grumeti reservesLabuschagne, Adriaan S. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng (Electrial and Electronic Engineering.))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / This thesis covers the design and development of a radio telemetry system
to assist in management of the Grumeti reserves. This was accomplished
through the integration of a digital data transmission system into the existing
analog voice radio network, while minimizing any possible interference.
The primary application of the system is vehicle tracking, but it is also capable
of supporting other telemetry data in the future. The system relies on
a server based at the reserve headquarters and various client telemetry units
installed in the vehicles. A vehicle’s location is requested via the server application.
The results are displayed on a digital map and stored into a database.
Various methods are used to reduce radio interference and support reliable
transmission of data. The system is also designed to be affordable, maintainable
and robust. Two prototypes were implemented to perform various tests
and establish the feasibility of the sysem. It proved to be capable of meeting
the main objectives and implementation will commence in the future.

Satellite data transmission by means of a multi-channel systemSmith, David 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / The aim of this thesis is to find an a ordable and upgradeable manner of increasing the data
rate of current satellite systems. The compression, modulation and amplification techniques and
telecommunication regulations restrict the data rate, which are bypassed by designing a parallel
channel configuration.
In order to test this solution a system is developed that is based on the existing standards of
DVB-S and MPEG-2. The combination of these standards protect the data from interference,
package the data for ease of storage, modulate the data to more effectively radiate the signal and
shape the spectrum to adhere to telecommunication regulations.
The spacing between the channels is reduced and the transmitted signal is amplified to inject interference
into the system. The effect of this interference on the receiver is shown by transmitting
image data and comparing the received image with the original.

A fixed-point DSP architecture for software-defined radioKriegler, Wouter 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / Due to ever evolving wireless communication standards and technologies, the need for
more flexible radio terminals are becoming more sought after in order to adapt to these
new standards. Software-defined radio offers a solution to this demand. Software-defined
radio is a radio communication system where signal processing components that have
typically been implemented in hardware are replaced by reconfigurable and re-useable
software modules running on a digital processor.
The need exists to rapidly create new SDR applications without designing an entire
system from the ground up, and without specialised knowledge of the target platform.
This thesis initially describes the design of a generic SDR architecture that is highly
reconfigurable and promotes a high level of code re-use. The research forms part of
a larger project to design a domain-specific language (DSL) in which to describe SDR
functionality in a platform-independent way. In this thesis, the code synthesis from the
DSL is extended to support the Freescale DSP563xx family.
