   Design And Implementation Of A Laboratory Pseudo-Master Oscilloscope Network
By Aurelio Costa, Joao Nunes, Silviano Rafael, Joao F. Martins [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents the design, development and implementation of a laboratory pseudo-master oscilloscope network. The purpose of the network is to centralize the data from a series of several laboratory working benches into only one regular PC. The decision to store the experimental data is taken in each working bench, running the oscilloscopes as pseudo-master units. In order to cover large inter-benches distances the RS-485 protocol was adopted to establish the network over several oscilloscopes. A management software was developed to manage the data flow through all the network, the storage, in different folders, and visualization of the data obtain from the oscilloscopes. The stored data can be sent directly to a printer or embedded in other software applications. The potential of the developed system is shown, namely regarding to flexibility, cost and performance, in the scope of laboratory working quality.

   Design Of A Small Personal Electric Vehicle As An Educational Project

Abstract: Engineering education should comprise more than theoretical knowledge. A design project with close relationship to present technology and the student’s environment provides hands-on engineering experience and training of general engineering skills. Electric vehicles are an example of technology. Building an electric go-kart is an economical and real-life educational design project.

   On The Use Of Matlab/simulink As A Tool For The Study Of Power Systems Transient
By L. Sousa Martins, Dulce F. Pires, V. Fernao Pires [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for the modelling of power systems on the transient analysis. In this methodology the MATLAB/SIMULINK" program is used. This program width their non linear blocks can be advantageously used for different kind of variable situations on electrical power networks, such as fault diagnosis and stability control. Furthermore, the modelling effort and required simulation times are smaller than the conventional simulators, such as EMTP. Since state space models are used, this simulation tool is useful to study the transient phenomena and easier to compare with power systems laboratory results. This paper summarizes the used method and gives some examples.
