Private And Public

The selection of power sub-station location and distribution line routing in power systems is one of the important strategic decisions for both private and public sectors. In general, contradictory factors such as availability, and cost, affects the appropriate selection which adheres to vague and inexact data. The work presented in this research deals with the development of models and techniques for planning and operation of power distribution system. The work comprises a wider framework from the siting of a sub-station to load flow analysis. Work done also shows the application of quantum- geographic information system (Q-GIS) in finding load point coordinates and existing sub-station locations. The proposed integrated approach provides realistic and reliable results, and facilitates decision makers to handle multiple contradictory decision perspectives. To accredit the proposed model, it is implemented for power distribution planning in Bihar which consists of 9 divisions. A Cubic Spline Function-based load flow analysis method is developed to validate the proposal.

IntroIntroducción: Un exoesqueleto se conceptualiza como un mecanismo estructural externo cuyos segmentos y articulaciones se corresponden con las del cuerpo humano y es capaz de coordinar y amplificar sus movimientos. El objetivo del trabajo se enfoca en desarrollar una tecnología de plataforma robótica de asistencia y métodos de cuantificación para la rehabilitación motora de miembros superiores en ambientes clínicos y ambulatorios para pacientes con afecciones motoras como resultados de enfermedades cerebrovasculares.Métodos: Se presenta a partir de una concepción integradora el diseño del prototipo de un exoesqueleto que permite al paciente realizar movimientos combinados a partir de los cuatro grados de libertad que provee el dispositivo de rehabilitación. El sistema es controlado por medio de una interfaz de usuario desarrollada en Labview que soporta el control e interacción del usuario con el exoesqueleto, lo cual posibilita que el terapeuta puede modificar la rutina que debe realizar el paciente incluyendo nuevas trayectorias y el número de repeticiones a seguir por el exoesqueleto en las articulaciones de hombro, codo y muñeca. Adicionalmente, posibilita la retroalimentación visual de la actividad electromiográfica del paciente durante la rehabilitación.Resultados: Se presenta el diseño mecánico de la armadura, implementación de los sistemas de potencia, el desarrollo del sistema de control y de la interfaz de usuario así como su integración con el sistema mecánico.Conclusiones: Se desarrolla y pone en funcionamiento una avanzada plataforma robótica capaz de desarrollar diversas rutinas terapéuticas combinando 4 grados de libertad en hombro, codo y muñeca, capaz de controlar a través de la interfaz desarrollada desplazamientos regulados, exactos y repetitivos, así como seguir cronológicamente la evolución del paciente registrando la actividad mioeléctrica durante el proceso de rehabilitación.<br /><br /><br /><br />Background: Robot-assisted therapy or exoskeleton is an active mechanical device that can be easily adjusted to fit a different patient limb length, and is able to coordinate and amplify movements. The aim of this study focuses on developing a robotic training system and quantification methods for upper limbs rehabilitation in clinic environments to be used in survivor stroke patients with motor disorders or loss of physical strength on one side of the body.Methods: From an integrated approach, a design of one exoskeleton is presented which allows patients perform complex movements in four degrees of freedom (DOF) rehabilitation system. The system is controlled by means of user interface developed with Lab view v8.6 software that supports control and user interaction with the exoskeleton; so it’s possible for therapist to modify the patient routine including new movements and a number of repetitions in articulating joints of shoulder, elbow and wrist. On other hand system permits bio- feedback of electromyogram patient activity during rehabilitation sessions.Results: Biomechanical analyses and structure design, implementation of power systems, the development of the control system and user interface as well as its integration with the mechanical system is presented.</p><p><br />Conclusions: A robot arm exoskeleton device with four DOF; able to develop complex, accurate and repetitive therapeutic routines for articulating joints of shoulder, elbow and wrist trough an interface is shown. The device permits to follow chronologically patient outcomes recording the electromyogram activity during rehabilitation progress.

The paper addresses research into the prospects for the development of Mongolia’s energy sector with its gradual entry into the international energy markets of neighboring countries through the involvement of local resource potential and the expansion of energy transmission and transportation systems. Rational use of rich primary natural energy resources (coal, solar energy, and nuclear energy), in combination with a favorable geographic location of the country, should contribute to the achievement of the crucial goals to transform Mongolia into an energy exporting-importing country, which is stipulated by the raw materials and energy strategy of the country for the next 15-30 years. In this context, the research considers an integrated approach to the development of the energy system of Mongolia and highlights three hierarchical development levels of backbone transmission lines. The research outcomes are presented as a structure of Mongolia’s energy sector with internal and external functional connections. The conclusion emphasizes the need to build a scientifically grounded rational network structure of the main backbone transmission lines, which will shape the Unified energy system with developed connections to the electric power systems of Russia and China, and through them, to the super grid of the NEA countries. This will allow Mongolia to occupy its place in a successfully developing energy and economic space of the region, which is beneficial not only for Mongolia but also for the NEA countries.
