  • Requirements that relay protection design should meet

    Requirements that relay protection design should meet

    To accomplish the design objectives, four criteria for protection should be considered: fault clearing time; selectivity; sensitivity and reliability (dependability and security). Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “last line” of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. For professionals working in utilities, industries, or renewable energy systems, understanding these standards is not optional—it is essential.

  • Design a wavelength division multiplexing system

    Design a wavelength division multiplexing system

    In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. This technique enables bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber (also called wavelength-division duplexing) as well as multiplication of capacity. The. SystemsA WDM system uses a at the to join the several signals together and a at the to split them apart. With the right type of fiber, it is possible to have a device that does both s. Originally, the term coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) was fairly generic and described a number of different channel configurations. In general, the choice of channel spacings and frequency in these co.
