Rare fission mode processes (ternary or quaternary fission) of low-energy and spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei, in which light charged particles are emitted, are the subject of intense experimental and theoretical studies, since these studies can be attributed to one of the main ...

Digitization of industrial processes using new technologies (IoT—Internet of Things, IoE—Internet of Everything), including the agriculture industry, are globally gaining growing interest. The precise management of production inputs is essential for many agricultural companies because limited or expensive ...

Prosumer microgrids (PMGs) are considered as active users in smart grids. These units are able to generate and sell electricity to aggregators or neighbor consumers in the prosumer market. Although the optimal scheduling and operation of PMGs have received a great deal of attention...

Although much efforts have been devoted to the optimal design of the energy systems, there is a research gap about the multi-year load growth-based optimal planning of microgrids. This paper tries to fill such a research gap by developing a novel method for the optimal de...

The paper deals with hardware solution of a fully digital dead-time generator. The circuit is applicable to the H-bridges based on any type of semiconductor switching devices including SiC, IGBT, Si-MOSFET and up-to-date GaN HEMTs. The generation of dead-times is ensured by commercially...

The performance and response of a Timepix3 detector with a 500 μm thick GaAs:Cr sensor layer was investigated in different radiation fields. The sensor resistivity was ρ 109 Ω cm. Fitting different modified Hecht functions, which take the small pixel effect into account, the m...

Four hybrid pixel detectors of Timepix3 technology, installed in the ATLAS experiment, were continuously taking data from April 2018 until the end of the Run-2 data taking period (December 2019). These detectors are synchronized with each other and the LHC orbit clock. They are...

A new predictor–corrector filter for attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) using data from an orthogonal sensor combination of three accelerometers, three magnetometers and three gyroscopes is proposed. The filter uses the predictor—corrector structure, with prediction based on gyroscopes and&...

State-of-the-art methods for determining thermal impedance networks for IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules usually involves the establishment of the relationship between the measured transistor or diode voltage and temperature under homogenous temperature distribution across the IGBT module. ...

Efficiency of an IPMSM motor is influenced by the operating point (OP) of the machine. The optimal operating point can be found by using either direct search methods or model-based methods. Model-based methods are sensitive to parameter uncertainties of the equivalent circuit of th...

Electromagnetic transients are considered in the implementation of three-phase automatic reclose on the transmission line of extra high voltage 750 kV. The influence of automatic shunting of phases and pre-insertion active resistance for limiting the characteristics of the aperiodic component of&...

A dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) composed of a coupling structure and a bent T-shaped resonator loaded by small L-shaped stubs is presented in this paper. The first band of the proposed BPF covers 4.6 to 10.6 GHz, showing 78.9% fractional bandwidth (FBW) at 7.6 GHz, and&...

Active integral electronic elements in smart clothes can increase the utility value of the garment and the user's comfort. This article is primarily focuses on the comfort of clothing designed especially for the elderly, or people with impaired thermoregulatory capabilities. The research...

The paper proposes a design and construction of a special plated capacitor exhibiting very good high-frequency characteristics. The capacitor is designed to minimize the parasitic parameters like ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ESL (equivalent series inductance) and to be suitable for ...

A new method, which involves the addition of alkaline Al2O3 (3 wt%) and activated clay (5 wt%) as adsorbents for homogeneous synthetic trimethylolpropane triesters (TME), is reported here to not only improve electrical properties but also to shed light on future volume production. ...

The contribution describes the design of Timepix-based hodoscope for cubesat applications, such as Pilsen-Cube2, developed by the University of West Bohemia. The hodoscope is composed of two Timepix detectors with silicon thickness of 300 μm, placed in back-to-back arrangement and rotated re...

The deployment of the energy storage systems by prosumers is steadily growing due to uncertainties of renewable energy resources. There is a knowledge gap about the techno-economic analysis of the loss of life (LOL) cost of the battery storage systems (BSSs) in the optimal day...

Single Event Effects (SEE), caused generally by single energetic particles, pose an important issue when implementing electronics in a harsh radiation environment. In this work, we present an electronic system for measuring SEEs temporally and spatially correlated with Timepix3 detectors. The...

At present, the most commonly used electrical insulating materials, including cold-curing epoxy resins, are well designed for normal operating conditions. However, new generations of materials should also be capable of withstanding extreme emergency conditions, e.g., in case of fire. For this...
