Comprehensive simulation of snow crystal deposition and electric field characteristics of composite sheath improved porcelain cantilever insulator in a wind and snow environment

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2022
The installed porcelain insulators on existing railway lines in China are prone to "snow flash" in winter. In order to prevent the occurrence of "snow flash" and improve the reliability of the insulators, a composite-porcelain insulator is designed.

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.

Enhanced Tire–Snow Sinkage Modeling for Optimized Electric Vehicle Traction Control in Northern China Snow Conditions

World Electric Vehicle Journal
The interaction between tires and snow layer is fundamental for vehicle safety on snowy roads. Due to the instantaneous high torque output characteristics of electric vehicles, they are more prone to slipping when driving in snow, which exacerbates the ...

Reliably flattened radar backscatter for wet snow mapping from wide-swath sensors

, 2013
Retrieval of wet snow extent with high temporal resolution over large areas that include topography requires use of wide swath SAR and radiometric terrain correction to enable backscatter comparisons across different orbital tracks. We report on springtime wet snow mapping using a time series of Envisat ASAR wide swath (WS) images covering the Swiss ...

Thermochronologic Constraints on the Extensional History of the Ibex Hills, Southeastern Black Mountains, Death Valley, California

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
A. Modeled T‐t paths for samples in the northern Ibex Hills, showing steady cooling throughout much of the Cenozoic, until rapid Miocene cooling. B. Weighted mean paths for each sample in this study. Note that all show a rapid cooling event at or just after 10 Ma, which is interpreted to represent exhumation as a result of regional extenstion ...
