Impact of Time Dissemination Technologies on Synchrophasor Estimation Accuracy

Mario Paolone, Guglielmo Frigo, Asja Derviskadic

The paper discusses the influence of the time synchronization technique on the synchrophasor estimation accuracy in modern Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). Specifically, we make reference to Global Positioning System (GPS), Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and ...

The White Rabbit Time Synchronization Protocol for Synchrophasor Networks

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Reza Razzaghi, Quentin Walger

Within the context of time dissemination techniques for power systems applications, the paper discusses the use of the White Rabbit (WR) protocol for synchrophasor networks. Specifically, the paper presents a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) integrating the W ...

ns-level time transfer over a microwave link using the PTP-WR protocol

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jean-Pierre Aubry, Mathieu Paul Joseph Carlos Rico

Today it is possible to achieve sub-ns level time synchronization on a wireline network while only us-level synchronization can be achieved on a wireless (microwave) link. In this paper we will, first, study the performances of different time synchronizati ...

Probing Rotational and Translational Diffusion of Nanodoublers in Living Cells on Microsecond Time Scales

Sylvie Roke, Aleksandra Radenovic, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Fabrizia Dutto, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Marie Eve Pascale Didier, Lucas Delannoy

Nonlinear microscopes have seen an increase in popularity in the life sciences due to their molecular and structural specificity, high resolution, large penetration depth, and volumetric imaging capability. Nonetheless, the inherently weak optical signals ...

Hydrodynamic and subdiffusive motion of tracers in a viscoelastic medium

László Forró, Sylvia Jeney, Elena Bertseva

We investigate the diffusive motion of micron-sized spherical tracers in a viscoelastic actin filament network over the time span of 8 orders of magnitude using optical-tweezers single-particle tracking. The hydrodynamic interactions of a tracer with the s ...

Brownian motion studied with an optical trap

Branimir Lukic

This thesis describes measurements of Brownian motion of a colloidal particle using optical trapping. Two aspects are investigated: (i) influence of inertial effects on Brownian motion, and (ii) effect of the optical trap on Brownian motion. The first part ...

Mobility Improves Coverage of Sensor Networks

Olivier Dousse

Previous work on the coverage of mobile sensor networks focuses on algorithms to reposition sensors in order to achieve a static configuration with an enlarged covered area. In this paper, we study the dynamic aspects of the coverage of a mobile sensor net ...
