This remuneration should be performed by system users, who must pay proportionally to its network usage. However, there is still no consensus about wich is the best criterion to be adopted to allocate these costs. The most widely used methods take into account the power ows only at normal operating conditions. however, it is recognized that the transmission system is planned and operated to accommodate power also at contingency scenarios, which requires additional transmission capacity. Moreover, part of the idle capacity is due to the characteristics of network investments and uncertainty in relation to demand. Thus, the costs allocated by these methods may not re ect the actual usage of the system. In this context, this work presents a transmission cost allocation method that takes into consideration all these network characteristics. The total costs are decomposed into three components, each of these associated with a part of the transmission capacity of the system and its function. These costs are then allocated based on their system usage in diferent operating scenarios. To validate the proposed method, tests are performed on small and medium power systems. Comparisons are established with some methods more used in the literature, where it is observed that the proposed method provides complete consistency with the expected results for the problem. It was also found that this method offers subsidies to consumers allowing them to define their security requirements. / Com a implantação do novo modelo econômico nos sistemas de potência, a adequada remuneração das empresas provedoras de serviços de transmissão tem se tornado um assunto de grande importância. Esta remuneração deve ser realizada pelos usuários do sistema, que devem pagar proporcionalmente ao seu grau de utilização da rede. No entanto, ainda não há um consenso do melhor critério a ser adotado para alocar estes custos. Os métodos mais utilizados levam em consideração os uxos de potência apenas quando a rede opera em condições normais. No entanto, sabe-se que o sistema de transmissão é planejado e operado para acomodar os uxos também em cenários de contingência, o que exige capacidade adicional de transmissão. Além disso, parte da capacidade ociosa é devido às características dos investimentos no setor e à incerteza em relação à demanda. Desta forma, os custos alocados por estes métodos pode não re etir a real utilização do sistema. Neste contexto, este trabalho apresenta um método de alocação dos custos pelo uso da transmissão que leva em consideração todas estas características da rede. Os custos totais são decompostos em três componentes, cada uma destas relacionada com parte da capacidade de transmissão do sistema e sua função. Estes custos são então alocados aos usuários da rede com base no seu grau de utilização do sistema em diversos cenários de operação. Para validar o método proposto, são realizados testes em sistemas de potência de pequeno e médio porte. Comparações são estabelecidas com alguns dos métodos mais aplicados na literatura, onde constata-se que o método proposto apresenta total coerência com os resultados esperados pelo problema. Veri ca-se ainda que este método oferece subsídios aos consumidores para que estes possam de nir quais seus requisitos de segurança.

Calculation methods of electric power loss in 10 kV distribution network were analyzed in this study. It was examined what influence to power loss calculations has the cable resistance dependency on temperature and cable load. Voltage losses dependency on step-down transformer load, active and reactive power coefficients cosφ and sinφ was also an object of this research. It was intended to analyze comparative power loss dependences for various cross-section 10 kV cables too. Electric power loss calculations according to average load current are made for the real distribution network.

This thesis focuses on the enhancement of the IEEE 802.15.4 beaconless-enabled MAC protocol as a solution to overcome the network bottleneck, less flexible nodes, and more energy waste at the centralised wireless sensor networks (WSN). These problems are triggered by mechanism of choosing a centralised WSN coordinator to start communication and manage the resources. Unlike IEEE 802.11 standard, the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol does not include method to overcome hidden nodes problem. Moreover, understanding the behaviour and performance of a large-scale WSN is a very challenging task. A comparative study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed ad hoc WSN both over the low data rate IEEE 802.15.4 and the high data rate IEEE 802.11 standards. Simulation results show that, in small-scale networks, ad hoc WSN over 802.15.4 outperforms the WSN where it improves 4-key performance indicators such as throughput, PDR, packet loss, and energy consumption by up to 22.4%, 17.1%, 34.1%, and 43.2%, respectively. Nevertheless, WSN achieves less end-to-end delay; in this study, it introduces by up to 2.0 ms less delay than that of ad hoc WSN. Furthermore, the ad hoc wireless sensor networks work well both over IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 protocols in small-scale networks with low traffic loads. The performance of IEEE 802.15.4 declines for the higher payload size since this standard is dedicated to low rate wireless personal access networks. A deep performance investigation of the IEEE 802.15.4 beaconless-enabled wireless sensor network (BeWSN) in hidden nodes environment has been conducted and followed by an investigation of network overhead on ad hoc networks over IEEE 802.11 protocol. The result of investigation evinces that the performance of beaconless-enabled ad hoc wireless sensor networks deteriorates as indicated by the degradation of throughput and packet reception by up to 72.66 kbps and 35.2%, respectively. In relation to end-to-end delay, however, there is no significant performance deviation caused by hidden nodes appearance. On the other hand, preventing hidden node effect by implementing RTS/CTS mechanism introduces significant overhead on the network that applies low packet size. Therefore, this handshaking method is not suitable for low rate communications protocol such as IEEE 802.15.4 standard. An evaluation study of a 101-node large-scale beaconless-enabled wireless sensor networks over IEEE 802.15.4 protocol has been carried out after the nodes deployment model was arranged. From the experiment, when the number of connection densely increases, then the probability of packet delivery decreases by up to 40.5% for the low payload size and not less than of 44.5% for the upper payload size. Meanwhile, for all sizes of payload applied to the large-scale ad hoc wireless sensor network, it points out an increasing throughput whilst the network handles more connections among sensor nodes. In term of dropped packet, it confirms that a fewer data drops at smaller number of connecting nodes on the network where the protocol outperforms not less than of 34% for low payload size of 30 Bytes. The similar trend obviously happens on packet loss. In addition, the simulation results show that the smaller payload size performs better than the bigger one in term of network latency, where the payload size of 30 Bytes contributes by up to 41.7% less delay compared with the contribution of the payload size of 90 Bytes.

In today's digital world, information and communication technology accounts for 3% and 2% of the global power consumption and CO2 emissions respectively. This alarming figure is on an upward trend, as future telecommunications systems and handsets will become even more power hungry since new services with higher bandwidth requirements emerge as part of the so called 'future internet' paradigm. In addition, the mobile handset industry is tightly coupled to the consumer need for more sophisticated handsets with greater battery lifetime. If we cannot make any significant step to reducing the energy gap between the power hungry requirements of future handsets, and what battery technology can deliver, then market penetration for 4G handsets can be at risk. Therefore, energy conservation must be a design objective at the forefront of any system design from the network layer, to the physical and the microelectronic counterparts. In fact, the energy distribution of a handset device is dominated by the energy consumption of the RF hardware, and in particular the power amplifier design. Power amplifier design is a traditional topic that addresses the design challenge of how to obtain a trade-off between linearity and efficiency in order to avoid the introduction of signal distortion, whilst making best use of the available power resources for amplification. However, the present work goes beyond this by investigating a new line of amplifiers that address the green initiatives, namely green power amplifiers. This research work explores how to use the Doherty technique to promote efficiency enhancement and thus energy saving. Five different topologies of RF power amplifiers have been designed with custom-made signal splitters. The design core of the Doherty technique is based on the combination of a class B, class AB and a class C power amplifier working in synergy; which includes 90-degree 2-way power splitter at the input, quarter wavelength transformer at the output, and a new output power combiner. The frequency range for the amplifiers was designed to operate in the 3.4 - 3.6 GHz frequency band of Europe mobile WiMAX. The experimental results show that 30dBm output power can be achieved with 67% power added efficiency (PAE) for the user terminal, and 45dBm with 66% power added efficiency (PAE) for base stations which marks a 14% and 11% respective improvement over current stateof- the-art, while meeting the power output requirements for mobile WiMAX applications.

Before putting new power distribution installation into operation and before the connection to grid is needed to validate connectivity of the installation. Purpose of verification is to check compliance with the technical conditions of relevant regulations. Ones of the most important conditions include compliance with the prescribed connection voltage tolerance at the connecting device – and even in the worst-case – and provide necessary short-circuit capability of the other devices in a connected grid. Main task of my master’s thesis is just checking that the voltage tolerance and the control of short-circuit resistance. The calculations were performed by using the dispatching control system that works with the current parameters of the distribution system equipment 110 kV. Theoretical part of thesis describes two main points of the method of calculating the network operation and the method of calculating short-circuit conditions. Based on these theoretical processes are relevant input data processed and evaluated in the dispatching control system. The calculation and evaluate results are presented in the final part of the master’s work.

This master-thesis analyzes issues of suggestion configuration of power supply network of industrial business. The option of the scheme of the configuration, the voltage level, the way of compensation of the reactive power, the way of the suppretion of the energetic interference and other requirements is included in the main tasks. This option has to be convenient with the requirements of the industrial business. The important point of this proposal is to prevent the influence of the superordinate distribution network. The compensation which keeps the power factor in the prescribed limits is one of the precautions against the influencing of the network. The second precaution is the elimination of energetic interference. The higher voltage, the fluctuation and the asymmetry of the voltage are the interferences which have the biggest impact on the industrial networks. The master-thesis offers the summary of the possibilities and ways of the elimination of the basic elements of the energetic interference.
