A variational technique will be used to compute the electromagnetic fields of traveling waves in a helical slow-wave circuit with helical dielectric support. by generalizing the trial fields from those used in an earlier study and by applying point- matching constraints, an efficient computation… More

Parallel processing of sparse matrices has been a disappointing enterprise to date. the "vectors" that can be processed simultaneously are too short to achieve much improvement over serial processing. attempts to increase the size of these vectors simply increase the number of operations rather than… More

Electrical power systems routinely experience disturbances or faults. Protective relays and controllers are used to take corrective action by isolating the faulted equipment and stabilizing the system. The analysis and design of these protection and control systems require simulation of the power… More

To ensure the reliable operation of the electric grid when subject to disturbances, tools are needed for the design and analysis of wide-area control and protection algorithms. This project will develop a new platform that that will enable power system engineers to study the impact of protective… More
