THE GRID The Grid plan‚ Grid street plan or Gridiron plan is a type of city plan in which streets run at right angles to each other‚ forming a grid. In the context of the culture of Ancient Rome‚ the grid plan method of land measurement was called Centuriation.

Exploring the virtual reality conjecture Brian Whitworth Introduction Computers today simulate entire worlds‚ with their own time‚ space and objects‚ but that our world could be so is normally a topic of science fiction‚ not physics. Yet that the world is illusory has a long history. In Buddhism‚ the world expresses the Universal Mind‚ in Hinduism it is Maya‚ the illusion of "God’s play”‚ and to Plato it was just shadows flickering on a wall1. That the world is digital is also not new‚ as to

Abstract— The aim of this paper is to present the complete modeling and simulation of wind turbine driven doubly-fed induction generator which feeds ac power to the utility grid. For that‚ two pulse width modulated voltage source converters are connected back to back between the rotor terminals and utility grid via common dc link. The grid side converter controls the power flow between the DC bus and the AC side and allows the system to be operated in sub-synchronous and super synchronous mode of operation

It was in October 1991 the Eastern and Northeastern grid was synchronized. It took a long 12 year period‚ March 2003‚ to synchronize the coal rich power producing states to the power consuming states of western INDIA. During the intervening period of 1991 to 2003 there were frequent incidences of regional

The Delhi Metro came to a standstill yet again on Tuesday afternoon after services were suspended for two hours due to collapse of the Northern Power Grid for the second consecutive day‚ causing inconvenience to commuters. As the power grid collapsed at around 1 pm‚ Delhi Metro trains stopped on tracks‚ some inside tunnels‚ due to no supply of power and passengers stuck in the trains were evacuated immediately. Nine trains stopped inside

Introduction Electric fields are produced by charges. Charges may be one of two signs‚ positive or negative. Changing the positions of positive and negative charges can alter an electric field. An electric field is a vector quantity from which the magnitude and direction of an electric force is determined. The electric force is due to the presence of charged particles. Charge is the attribute of matter by which matter responds to electromagnetic forces. Charge is responsible for all electrical

attempts at reform. Some alternatives to fossil fuels include solar‚ hydro‚ and wind power‚ but replacing the resources would only be a small step to protecting the future. A more necessary change would be the reconstruction of electric grids‚ such as the forty year old grid in the United States that costs the government upwards of $200 billion a year to maintain. Clearly‚ there isn’t one single idea that could be the true solution. There would have to be a mixture of multiple solutions to solve the
