Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation format that has recently attracted lots of consideration interior the long-haul fiber-optic transmission community. The most important advantage of optical OOFDM is its unlimited capability of canceling Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) caused by Chromatic Dispersion (CD) and Polarization-Mode Dispersion (PMD). Specifically, Coherent OOFDM (CO-OFDM) presents a good and…

In this paper an offline motion-planning algorithm is presented for robotic manipulators. In this method to solve the path-planning task, the Transition-based Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (T-RRT) algorithm was applied, that requires a cost-function over the search space. The goal of this cost-function is to keep distance between the actual position and configurations that cause collisions.…

With increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration on distribution feeders, voltage functions is always a challenge. To control these variations due to the intermittent nature of PV generation,many utility companies use the traditional voltage regulating devices such as ON/OFF load tap changers, voltage regulators, switched capacitor banks and reactors. The use of smart inverters (SI) has been…
