What Will the European Climate Look Like in the Future? A Climate Analog Analysis Accounting for Dependencies Between Variables by B. Bulut, M. Vrac, N. deNoblet‐Ducoudré

“…This study investigates climate analogs, which allow the possibility to find, today, a place on land where climatic conditions are similar to those that a specific area will face in the future. The grid‐based calculation of analogs over the selected European domain was carried out using a newly proposed distance between multivariate distributions, the Wasserstein distance, that has never been used so far for climate analog calculations. …”

Performance analysis of static var compensators for distance protection of Nigerian 132-kV sub-transmission network using Matlab/ Simulink model by Akintunde Alayande, Sunday O. Akınbode, Ignatius K. Okakwu, Ajibola Oyedejı

“…In this paper, the influence of the Static Var Compensators (SVC) on distance relay protection when connected to the sub-transmission network of the Nigerian 132-kV grid system is investigated. This is carried out by monitoring the error margin of the fault locator associated with the distance protective relays when SVC is connected to the transmission line. …”
