TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a power system laboratory at Birla Vishvakarma Mahavidyalaya (B.V.M.) Engineering College, Gujarat, India, where every experiment was designed, wired and commissioned through senior design projects.
Abstract: This paper describes a novel power system laboratory at Birla Vishvakarma Mahavidyalaya (B.V.M.) Engineering College, Gujarat, India, where every experiment was designed, wired and commissioned through senior design projects. The experiments on power system protection are especially unique in terms of their design and implementation and will be highlighted in this paper. They provide a real substation-like operating environment. Through these projects, the students, in addition to getting familiar with the fundamentals of protection, learned how different protection schemes are wired and how they operate in a real power system. For the institute, a quality laboratory was established at a low cost, which is a crucial issue for most colleges in many parts of the world.

13 Dec 2005TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system that enables elements, in particular technological objects, to be reused in the development of a project engineering solution, where the created elements are stored in a library and an exemplar of a stored element is created.
Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for managing and/or providing elements, in particular technological objects. The system enables elements, in particular technological objects, to be reused in the development of a project engineering solution. Here, at least one element is created, in particular by a user of the system, with the at least one element serving as a template for the generation of an exemplar as an image or a plurality of exemplars as images of the element. The created elements are stored in a library and an exemplar of a stored element is created, the exemplar being used in the development of a solution, in particular an automation solution.

05 Mar 2005TL;DR: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has developed and deployed institutional mechanisms to identify, define, and flow down technical and programmatic requirements which are generated external to the projects as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Well known to engineering project managers is that all projects, no matter what their final products are, should practice rigorous management of the project's requirements. Although external requirements have long been part of many engineering projects, the modern project environment contains more and more management and technical requirements levied by organizations external to the project. For many projects the scope of this challenge is large and growing. New requirements are constantly being flowed down to projects from political, regulatory, legal, and international entities, and from projects' parent organizations as well. One effective response to this challenge is for project parent organizations to assist in identifying, defining, and flowing down to projects the ever-growing number of external requirements. This paper will describe how the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has developed and deployed institutional mechanisms to identify, define, and flow down technical and programmatic requirements which are generated external to the projects

01 Jan 2005TL;DR: The experience of technical workers is rarely included in recent accounts of organizational restructuring or of the impact of high performance work techniques in manufacturing (McGovern, 1996 and 1998 provides one of the few exceptions) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Technical workers are one of the largest occupational groups in Britain’s manufacturing sector and the largest in aerospace itself. Their role of indirectly productive workers within ‘mental’ labour (Smith, 1987) or ‘productive intellectual labour’ (Armstrong, 1987) makes them as indispensable to production and the generation of profit as productive manual workers on the shop-floor. The labour embodied in a finished aircraft or aero-engine includes the work of large numbers of scientists, design engineers, technologists, stress engineers, draughtsmen and women, estimators, production engineers, quality engineers, planners and progress chasers, plus support roles contained in project engineering, procurement, marketing, accounting, sales and customer support. It is curious, therefore, that the experience of technical workers is rarely included in recent accounts of organizational restructuring or of the impact of high performance work techniques in manufacturing (McGovern, 1996 and 1998 provides one of the few exceptions).

03 Mar 2005TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for starting participants of a communication bus where a project engineering information and/or an executive instruction are sent over the communication bus to another participant.
Abstract: The method involves starting participants of a communication bus where a project engineering information and/or an executive instruction are sent over the communication bus to another participant. Project engineering information is transferred and supports variable length information. The structure of the project engineering information and/or the executive instruction is based on XML. An independent claim is included for a device.
