Super-Paramagnetic Clustering Super-paramagnetic clustering (SPC) is a Monte Carlo iteration of the Potts model, a generalization of the Ising Model. SPC clustering is performed by evaluating simulated interactions (states) between individual data points and their...
Wavelet Transformation The wavelet transformation (WT) is a method of signal representation that enables simultaneous analysis in the time and frequency domains and aids the analysis of nonstationary signals such as spike trains by inducing sparsity. The wavelet...
Spiking Model In Vivo Neurophysiology The animals employed for neurophysiological recording were adult, male Long-Evans rats acquired at 4 months of age. The animal protocols used were approved by the University of Kansas Medical Center Institutional Animal Care and...
Noise in MEA recordings In addition to inherent noise coming from the source, i.e. the neuron, as previously described, there are several other sources of additive noise in an extracellular recording coming from the biological interface, the electrode interface and...
Interaction between Electric Vehicles charging and the grid Besides the charging station, EVs are viewed as a possible solution to integrating the renewable energy to the power grid. One of the impact of EVs on renewable energy is load shifting. The typical daily...
Large scale charging at public facilities In this section, we present the framework of EV charging in public charging facilities. In US, there are several major parties that invest in public EV charging stations. The government spends in charging stations in public...
Large Scale Charging in Distribution System In this section, we discuss the framework of the large-scale EV charging in a distribution system. As shown in Figure 2.7, EVs are attached to residential houses or public chargers distributed in a wide area. A service...
Charging scheduling of single Electric Vehicles In this subsection, we present a generic formulation of the scheduling problem of single EV charging. Here we assume the state of charging (SOC) is linear in the power consumptions and discharging is forbidden. Since the...
Spike Waveforms In theory, an action potential waveform or template could be unequivocally and unambiguously linked to a single neuron. However, in practice this is a difficult problem because the recorded signal is non-stationary due to several time varying...
Home charging Electric Vehicles models and impacts on distribution systems The most commonly used charging method would be charging at home using level 1 or level 2 charging outlets. In this section, we present the charging framework of a single EV in a residential...
Charging behavior of an Electric Vehicles battery To study the EV charging behavior or design the battery management system, we need to understand how the batteries of EVs are charged and discharged. There are four kinds of batteries that are commonly used in electric...
Electric vehicle Charging Standards There are typically three levels of charging stations: Level 1, Level 2 and DC Fast Charge (DCFC) 1. These levels denote different charging rates of an electric vehicle’s battery. The use of higher level charging stations will...
Broad classifications of Electric vehicle charging methodologies The great challenge and potential of EV charing problems have attracted plenty of attention to this area. The subject can be probed from different angles. An EV owner wants to minimize the total charging...
Overview of technology: challenges and limitations of large scale charging of Electric Vehicle Impacts and challenges However, before the win-win situation comes true, multiple technical challenges need to be solved. It has been shown that, with no proper...
Importance of Electric Vehicle charging The anxiety of driving range has been the greatest barrier of wide EV adoption. Thus the convenient access of charging facilities and fast charging technology are essential for success of EVs. Residential are unlikely to...
Electric Vehicle history The first electric car is considered to be invented by Scotsman Robert Anderson, somewhere in-between 1832 and 1839. Unfortunately, the exact date is unknown and the detail design was lost. In the same time, Sibrandus Stratingh, a Dutch...
