POTENCY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

Developments of sensor technologies rely on the permanent technical progress in the fields of manufacturing and information technologies. The choice of a novel technology for a certain sensor system is not necessarily associated with improved sensor features. An optimal performance to cost ratio is in general only obtainable by the choice of suitable combinations of both manufacturing technology and signal processing. This paper gives an overview about the role of information technology in sensor technologies involving sensor design, signal processing and sensor communication. Special care...

ELECTRIC POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENT

The proliferation of non-linear and time-variant loads is causing a number of disturbances on the electric network, from a more and more significant distortion of both currents and voltages, to transient disturbances on the supply voltage. In this respect the electric network behaves as an "healthy carrier" of disturbances, so that a disturbance generated by one customer can be distributed to other customers, causing possible damage to their equipment. The measurement of the quality of the electric power in a network section is therefore becoming an impelling need, especially in a...
