a new Development Platform for the next generation of power system control center functionalities for hybrid ac hvdc transmission systems
Power and Energy Society General Meeting, 2017Co-Authors: Christoph Brosinsky, Andre Kummerow, Andre Naumann, Arnd Kronig, Stephan Balischewski, Dirk WestermannAbstract:New technologies, such as HVDC-links, will play a major role in future transmission system operation. The application of HVDC systems or flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), introduce new fast dynamics, which add controllability to the power system. Additionally, state of the art technology such as phasor measurement unit (PMU) based wide area monitoring systems (WAMS) enables new methods for the next generation of power system monitoring and control systems. To develop new functionalities for control centers a new Development Platform for dynamic simulation studies of control and operation functionalities for AC-HVDC systems is introduced. Therefore, a detailed understanding of every component of the distributed system is required. Hence, this paper discusses the components of the Development Platform comprising a real-time hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation system, the communication system and the control center itself. Furthermore, first new control center functionalities are also described in this paper.

regional Development Platform method rdpm as a tool for regional innovation policy 1
European Planning Studies, 2006Co-Authors: Vesa HarmaakorpiAbstract:Regional Development strategies should be based on the sound assessment of regional resources, as well as on forming dynamic capabilities aiming to develop the resource configurations in order to form regional competitive advantage. In this study, the concept “regional Development Platform” is used as a tool for assessing the regional potentials on which sustainable, competitive advantage could be built. The Regional Development Platform Method (RDPM) is presented as a tool for designing and managing a regional innovation system. It consists of eight phases, in which the underlying potential in the region is explored and the exploitation of the potential organized. The experiences gained from applying the RDPM in the Lahti region, Finland, are used to illustrate the article.

The Concept of the Regional Development Platform and Regional Development Platform Method (RDPM) as a Tool for Regional Development
2003Co-Authors: Vesa Harmaakorpi, Satu PekkarinenAbstract:Regional Development strategies should be based on sound assessment of regional business potentials and on possibilities to develop the defined potentials in order to gain competitive advantage on other regions. The assessment of the business potentials should include for example, an audit of regional industrial and institutional structures that form the basis for a regional innovation system. Each region has its own history, present potential and future possibilities, which makes it impossible to implement common strategies in individual regions. Two highly important things in building a regional innovation system are specialization and networking. Specialization in selected areas is important in order to use the scarce resources efficiently, and networked Development activities are essential in exploring and exploiting the existing potential in a region. A reasonable combination of, on the one hand, a focused Development environment and, on the other hand, a networked Development environment is crucial in building sustainable regional competitiveness in today?s world. In this study ?regional Development Platform? is used as a concept for assessing regional potentials on which sustainable competitive advantage could be built. A regional Development Platform is a concept understood as a Platform that is often industry or expertise based and presents the business potential of the actors working for the Platform. The actors of a regional Development Platform are firms, technology centres, expertise centres, research centres, educational organisations, etc. contributing to the defined Development Platform. A regional Development Platform must be separately defined each time it is utilised. The Regional Development Platform Method (RDPM) has been developed as a tool for designing and managing the regional innovation system. It consists of several phases, in which the underlying potential in the region is explored. The last phase of the method is the so-called core process sub-method that is designed to form and run future oriented innovation networks in order to exploit the existing regional potential of the defined Development Platforms. The point of departure in designing the Regional Development Platform Method has been in certain widely accepted issues in regional Development: scarce Development resources, regional path dependency, possibility for lock-ins, necessity for a certain degree of shared vision, networked Development environment, etc. The method is presented here especially as a tool for developing regional innovative capability in the modern networked environment. The current article assesses the concept of regional Development Platform in comparison with other closely related concepts and develops the Regional Development Platform Method further. The article also ponders the validity of the Regional Development Platform Method as a tool for regional Development. The article tackles the following problems: - Is the concept of regional Development Platform reasonable or merely confusing? - Is the Regional Development Platform Method a sound network leadership tool for regional Development? The experiences gained from applying the Regional Development Platform Method in Lahti region, Finland, are also used as illustrative examples in the article.

A Software Development Platform for Wearable Medical Applications
Journal of Medical Systems, 2015Co-Authors: Ruikai ZhangAbstract:Wearable medical devices have become a leading trend in healthcare industry. Microcontrollers are computers on a chip with sufficient processing power and preferred embedded computing units in those devices. We have developed a software Platform specifically for the design of the wearable medical applications with a small code footprint on the microcontrollers. It is supported by the open source real time operating system FreeRTOS and supplemented with a set of standard APIs for the architectural specific hardware interfaces on the microcontrollers for data acquisition and wireless communication. We modified the tick counter routine in FreeRTOS to include a real time soft clock. When combined with the multitasking features in the FreeRTOS, the Platform offers the quick Development of wearable applications and easy porting of the application code to different microprocessors. Test results have demonstrated that the application software developed using this Platform are highly efficient in CPU usage while maintaining a small code foot print to accommodate the limited memory space in microcontrollers.

towards a personal robotics Development Platform rationale and design of an intrinsically safe personal robot
International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008Co-Authors: Keenan A Wyrobek, Eric Berger, H F M Van Der Loos, J K SalisburyAbstract:The most critical challenge for Personal Robotics is to manage the issue of human safety and yet provide the physical capability to perform useful work. This paper describes a novel concept for a mobile, 2-armed, 25-degree-of- freedom system with backdrivable joints, low mechanical impedance, and a 5 kg payload per arm. System identification, design safety calculations and performance evaluation studies of the first prototype are included, as well as plans for a future Development.
