Energy efficiency analysis of converter-fed induction motors by Mushenya, John

“…The test rig, which boasts of a Genesis 7i high-speed Data Acquisition System, also provides an energy-efficient platform for investigating the steadystate and dynamic characteristics of converter-fed motors. By utilizing the capability of the Data Acquisition System to segregate the fundamental and harmonic components of measured input electrical power, it was found that a PWM power supply can be used in place of a conventional Variac to estimate the sinusoidal supply efficiency of an induction motor. …”

Access network selection schemes for multiple calls in next generation wireless networks by Orimolade, Joseph Folorunsho

“…The RAT selection method was modeled with constraints on terminal battery power, service cost and network congestion to select a specified number of RATs that optimizes the terminal interface utility. The results obtained show an optimum RAT selection strategy that maximizes the terminal utility and selects the best RAT combinations for user's parallel-streaming for voice, video and file-download.…”
