Journal ArticleDOI
Three-phase power flow calculations using the current injection method
TL;DR: In this paper, a sparse formulation for the solution of unbalanced three-phase power systems using the Newton-Raphson method is presented, where the Jacobian matrix is composed of 6/spl times/6 block matrices and retains the same structure as the nodal admittance matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) for non-thermal ablation without muscle contraction
Christopher B. Arena,Michael B. Sano,John H. Rossmeisl,John L. Caldwell,Paulo A. Garcia,Marissa Nichole Rylander,Rafael V. Davalos +6 more
TL;DR: H-FIRE is a feasible technique for non-thermal tissue ablation that eliminates muscle contractions seen in IRE treatments performed with unipolar electric pulses and has the potential to be performed clinically without the administration of paralytic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new heuristic reconfiguration algorithm for large distribution systems
F.V. Gomes,Sandoval Carneiro,José Luiz Rezende Pereira,M.P. Vinagre,Paulo A. Garcia,Leandro Ramos de Araujo +5 more
TL;DR: A reconfiguration algorithm which is specially suited to large scale distribution systems is presented, which uses a heuristic strategy that starts with the system in a meshed status, with all maneuverable switches closed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Characterization and Numerical Modeling of Tissue Electrical Conductivity during Pulsed Electric Fields for Irreversible Electroporation Treatment Planning
TL;DR: This investigation characterizes changes by measuring the electrical conductivity and temperature of ex vivo renal porcine tissue within a single pulse and for a 200 pulse protocol, providing a potential method to estimate conductivity as a function of electric field and pulse length for other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Distribution System Reconfiguration Approach Using Optimum Power Flow and Sensitivity Analysis for Loss Reduction
F.V. Gomes,Sandoval Carneiro,José Luiz Rezende Pereira,Marcio P. Vinagre,Paulo A. Garcia,Leandro Ramos de Araujo +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for distribution system reconfiguration based on optimum power flow (OPF) in which the branch statuses (open/close) are represented by continuous functions is presented.
