Expansão da capacidade de transmissão de sistemas ópticos através da tecnologia WDM: um estudo de caso sobre o sistema da Eletronorte

Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta dois projetos, sendo um referente ao sistema Tramo Oeste, e o outro ao sistema Pará – Maranhão; relacionado ao trecho Marabá – Santa Maria, com bombeamento remoto e amplificação Raman. A dissertação trata da expansão da capacidade de transmissão do sistema óptico da Eletronorte, no Tramo Oeste. Atualmente, esse sistema opera à taxa STM1 (155 Mb/s). Também é usada uma nova tecnologia para eliminação de estações repetidoras, através do bombeamento remoto. Essa técnica se fundamenta no uso de amplificadores ópticos bombeados remotamente, por meio das fibras ópticas do cabo OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) já instaladas no sistema.Esses amplificadores ópticos são constituídos somente por componentes passivos; e, além disso, podem ser acomodados em caixas de emendas ópticas; as quais são fixadas nas torres das linhas de transmissão do sistema, ao longo do enlace; sendo que as fontes ópticas para a realização do bombeamento remoto são localizadas e alimentadas nas próprias subestações terminais. A simulação dos sistemas é através de um software comercial de simulação Optisystem 4.1™. Esta dissertação propõe mudanças nos sistemas ópticos para aumentar a capacidade de transmissão por WDM; bombeamento remoto para estações sem repetição, e uso de amplificação Raman. Aborda-se ainda, a concepção de um backbone óptico DWDM, que é um convênio de cooperação técnica entre a Eletronorte e o Governo do Estado do Pará; e os resultados das simulações desse backbone óptico. É feita uma análise crítica comparativa deste, com os projetos dos sistemas ópticos do Tramo Oeste e do sistema Pará – Maranhão; referente ao trecho Marabá – Santa Maria.

Modelos paramétricos simples e causais para cabos de cobre apropriados para caracterização de enlaces em sistemas G.fast

O G.fast é um novo padrão da União Internacional de Telecomunicações que almeja atingir 1 Gb/s sobre enlaces de cobre curtos, utilizando freqüências de até 212 MHz. Essa nova tecnologia requer modelos paramétricos precisos de cabo para fins de projeto, simulação e testes de avaliação de desempenho. A maioria dos modelos de cabo de cobre foram desenvolvidos focando o espectro VDSL - isto é, freqüências de até 30 MHz - e adotam suposições que são violadas quando a faixa de freqüência é estendida para freqüências G.fast. Esta tese apresenta novos modelos de cabo simples e causais capazes de caracterizar com precisão enlaces de cobre compostos por segmentos individuais ou múltiplos, tanto no domínio do tempo quanto no domínio da freqüência. Resultados utilizando as topologias de referência do padrão G.fast mostram que, além de serem precisos, os novos modelos são atrativos devido ao baixo custo computacional e fórmulas fechadas para ajuste de seus parâmetros junto a dados medidos.

Desenvolvimento de um novo conceito para o índice de Wobbe

The increasing demand for alternative fuels lead to the search for solutions to use these fuels in old equipments and bring for new equipments the necessity of alternative fuels based burners. As a solution for these necessity the Gas Interchangeability`s studies came in evidence, because it studies the possibility of changing one fuel for another without changing the initial condition. In integrated industries, as most of steel industries, there is a link between process, the byproducts of one process are used as fuel for other process. There are new conditions for the equipments, that will be developed for these fuels, but even in these industries there will be situations which the byproduct won`t be available, and the process cannot stop. Using the gas interchangeability`s concepts is possible to work with security in both cases. Using alternative fuels in fossil fuel based burners and having a back-up solution for new technology burner. But using these new solutions were verified that there are some cases which the interchangeability`s methods does not work with satisfactory results, and for this reason, this study came to develop a new concept for the Method of Wobbe Index to evaluate the possibility to increase the range of the satisfactory results

Medidores inteligentes: o primeiro passo em direção as redes inteligentes

Smart grids are the focus of major study today because of the necessity of modernization in electrical systems and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that increases global warming. Reaching the best deployment method, you must first of all know the current electrical system and how to use them for the benefit of this new technology. Preparing the action plan we should be aware of the main points of smart grids in each step of the electricity system - generation, transmission and distribution. Analyzed these topics, this work will focus on the first step in the implementation of the smart grids: the smart meters, tool which is already being implemented in Brazil. The main characteristics and applications of these devices, as well as their communication structure with the core distributors will be showed during the paper. Finally, we present a case study which will be discussed and analyzed based in the results obtained with the implementation of smart meters in the city of Vancouver, Canada, where we have a considerable savings already in the first year, with fully paying the initial investment and still have a profit

Avaliação uterina e ovariana de éguas por meio da ultrassonografia Doppler

Doppler ultrasonography is a new technology that has been study by researchers to improve the physiologic and pathologic knowledge about reproduction. This technology is based on Doppler-shifts frequencies or ultrasonic, these frequencies can be increase or decrease according to the movements of the red cells in the vessel. Color Doppler and power Doppler are the two possibilities to use the Doppler ultrasonography. Color Doppler is based in more the one color that show the direction of the blood f low and power Doppler is based in one color that change according of the flow intensity. Doppler ultrasonography can be demonstrated with the spectral mode to verify blood flow in large vessels, because of this, it is not use in equine reproduction. Studies in equine reproduction have been doing to verify uterus blood flow in cyclic mares and to observe the vascular perfusion in mares with cists, uterine vascular perfusion post breeding and verify the affects of drugs to decrease the uterus fluid in mares with problems in uterus perfusion. The ovarian irrigation during the estrus cycle was analyze with the measurement of the principal hormones during the estrus cycle in mares, the integrity of the corpus luteus, the irrigation of the future dominant follicle and the consequences in the ovarian irrigation after luteolyse induction also were study. Nevertheless, more than the knowledge that existed about Doppler ultrasonography, new studies have been doing to improve the forms to use Doppler ultrasonography in equine reproduction

Análise de desempenho de lâmpadas LEDs e LFCs como alternativas em iluminação residencial em função da implementação da portaria ministerial n° 1007 que limita o uso de lâmpadas incandescentes no Brasil

With the imposition of the suspension of production and subsequent banning of incandescent light bulbs will be necessary to replace it by other more energy-efficient. Although the main alternative is the compact fluorescent lamp, the environmental impact caused by it due to incorrect disposal and the amount of harmonics included in the network resulting in losses related to the quality of electric power system makes them sought new alternatives for lighting systems that are efficient and have low environmental impact. In this context, the LED (Lighting Emitting Diode), based on solid-state components, is presented as an option for new projects and replacement of existing lighting. In this work we studied aspects of energy, environmental and economic impacts of a possible replacement of conventional lighting systems for new technology. From laboratory tests and surveys of the costs of different types of lamps used for residential lighting, we performed a comparative analysis considering energy and economic aspects which showed that the LED technology, but has a high initial investment, it is best when power quality and environmental preservation are relevant factors in decision making for the choice of technology to be used in the lighting system

A implantação da televisão digital terrestre na Espanha

This monograph has as objectives introduce digital terrestrial television, describing the process of installation of this in Spain, their technical qualities and possibilities of change and innovation that this creates. The exposure of the different chapters of this monograph has a objective presenting and discussing what are the characteristics of this new technology, your birth, what is its importance in communication and how this is inserted inside the Spanish reality. The introduction of digital terrestrial television in Spain is cited as an example of a pioneer in the development and installation of this new technology, but also appears as a nation that has come a way with some economic failures, reaching one of the largest cases of delayed installation of digital television in Western Europe. Making use of the European system for digital terrestrial television (DVB-T - Digital Video Broadcasting) it was possible some advances as the quality of communication and strengthening national public television system, but many vices of analog system were transferred this new system, as the concentration of channels to a foreign group and interactivity opportunities were wasted. Digital terrestrial television can provides better picture quality and sound, possibility of interactivity, mobility, hypermedia and multiprogramming, while the latter tool may lead to the democratization of media, opening it to other social agents. Going much further than just a technological advancement, digital television is strongly connected with the politics and the economy of the nation in which it operates

Relações públicas e o Brand Management: storytelling 2.0 na construção de relacionamentos

According to the Informational Society of the twentieth century, man develops society of the spectacle, where life becomes virtual and the individual ceases to be a spectator becoming the protagonist of wikiciberepopéia and organizations seeking to gain the attention and time of its consumers through new communication strategies. If the great epics of mankind brought mythical heroes, divine, with powers (mostly above the mortals), in the era of new technologies, the common man is in the hands the opportunity to become the hero of his own ciberepopéia. Increasingly resistant to traditional advertising, the new model of media consumer, the prosumer, the storytelling is transforming into one of the main communication tools of contemporary organizations. Offer your audience a creative and relevant content across several media platforms is a major brand positioning strategies currently used, in addition to providing the transmission of values and organizational principles in a subjective manner. Storytelling where objects are extensions of the human body (eg, the cell can be treated as an extension of the ears) is a strong indication of a technocratic society, because we can consider the new technologies as extensions of the human brain (as new store technologies, create meanings, share information through a specific language) and the individual who is on the edge of new technology ends up being excluded from certain social events. This new world tends to put an end to separation between seemingly contrary ideas, such as reality/fiction, natural/cultural and the man who emerges from this medium is not the creator, but rather, transforming what already exists. The current human evolution takes place from about half the human mind and tell stories that go beyond the media saturation that really emocionem and who have a real meaning for those who listen, to be interconnected with the socio-environmental reality of this new consumer, is a major chall...
