Fault analysis is of vital importance in power systems, and the techniques employed must be reliable, accurate, and fast. With the advent of time- and frequency-domain analyses in power systems, reflectometry techniques have been introduced.

This article presents a computational tool to calculate some parameters of hydroelectric plants, focusing mainly on microhydroelectric generation; it also evaluates the energy potential of small hydro plants. This computational tool was developed using MATLAB, and it presents a graphical interface that makes it user friendly. The computer program and related knowledge are easy to understand and apply; because the equations implemented are very simple, the tool is not computationally demanding. In fact, although it was developed and designed to help teach undergraduate electrical engineering students attending on classes hydroelectric generation, this tool can be used to estimate the hydroelectric generation potential of a site, which is the first step before starting a hydro plant project.

This work presents a novel RF on-chip inductor that overcomes the problems with conventional large-sized inductors, which cannot be placed in an integrated circuit (IC) for large inductance values. The proposed inductor depends mainly on the meminductor, a new passive circuit element that has memory properties. This new circuit element is argued to be common in the nanoscale, where the dynamical properties of electrons and ions are likely to depend on the history of the system. Being nonlinear, it is shown that, by a suitable arrangement of meminductors and through appropriate initial values for their inductances, we can achieve a linear nanoscale inductor.

Every year, power companies in the United States prepare themselves for natural disasters that can potentially harm their transmission and distribution networks. A tornado or hurricane can take out transmission lines in the power grid, leaving cities in the dark.
