All-optical label swapping is a promising approach to ultra-high packet-rate routing and
forwarding directly in the optical layer. In this paper, we review results of the DARPA Next …

As a result of the increase in penetration of inverter-based generation such as wind and solar,
the dynamics of the grid are being modified. These modifications may threaten the stability …

The paper discusses our studies of oil pollution in the Black and Caspian Seas. The research
was based on a multi-sensor approach on satellite survey data. A combined analysis of oil …

Renewable resources are becoming more and more obtainable and affordable due to the
development of technology and the enactment of government policies. Electric utilities are …

The goal of this effort was to assess the effect of high penetration solar deployment on the
small signal stability of the western North American power system (wNAPS). Small signal …

This report describes data collection and analysis of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment events,
which consist of faults and fa ilures that occur during the normal operation of a distributed …

This article presents a novel fault detection, characterization, and fault current control algorithm
for a standalone solar-photovoltaic (PV) based dc microgrids. The protection scheme is …

This article presents a method for calculating costs associated with operation and maintenance
(O&M) of photovoltaic (PV) systems. It compiles details regarding the cost and frequency …

Monomolecular surface films ("sea slicks") are well known to dampen small-scale waves at
the water surface, thereby influencing transport processes at the air-sea interface. Because of …

The chapter shows the examples and results of satellite monitoring of oil pollution in the
Southeastern Baltic Sea obtained in 2004–2012. The beginning of this work was initiated by “…
