Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Cluster Sampling Method

Cluster Sampling Method

Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Secondary Distribution

Secondary Distribution

Secondary distribution systems provide electrical energy at the utilization voltage levels from distribution transformers to customer meters. Typical secondary voltages in the United States include 120/240 V for residential use, 208Y/120 V for residential and commercial use, and 480Y/277 V for industrial and high-rise commercial use.
In residential areas, 120/240 V single-phase, three-wire service is commonly used for lighting, outlets, and large appliances. Urban areas with high-density loads...

Frequency-dependent Selection

Frequency-dependent Selection

When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Ranks

Ranks

Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric statistics are ideal for nominal and ordinal data, requiring fewer assumptions about the population's nature or distribution. This makes nonparametric methods easier to apply and interpret, as they do not depend on parameters like mean or standard deviation. One common approach in nonparametric analysis is to sort data according to a specific criterion. For instance, we might arrange weather data from hottest to coldest days in a month or rank cities...

Ordinal Level of Measurement

Ordinal Level of Measurement

The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks in the...

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Network Engineering

Background:

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face reliability challenges due to sensor node failures from energy depletion or harsh environments, impacting data persistence and collection.
Network coding strategies like LTCDS enhance data persistence in WSNs but suffer from a 'cliff effect,' hindering data recovery at sink nodes.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of coding degree distribution on the 'cliff effect' in WSNs.
To present a novel algorithm, PLTD-ALPHA, for improved data persistence and recovery performance in WSNs.

Main Methods:

Observation of the influence of coding degree distribution strategy on the 'cliff effect'.
Development and implementation of the prioritized data storage and dissemination algorithm (PLTD-ALPHA).
PLTD-ALPHA ensures data in sensor nodes increases in degree distribution with predefined levels and prioritizes packet submission to the sink node based on degree.

Main Results:

PLTD-ALPHA demonstrates significant improvements in data collection performance and decoding efficiency.
The algorithm effectively mitigates the 'cliff effect' associated with network coding in WSNs.
Data persistence is maintained without notable degradation.

Conclusions:

PLTD-ALPHA offers a robust solution for enhancing data recovery and collection efficiency in WSNs.
The algorithm's degree-based prioritization strategy effectively addresses the limitations of existing network coding methods.
