This paper describes the main technologies used for distributed generation and the optimization of a system that contains these technologies. The term distributed generation refers to the production of electricity near the consumption place. The distributed generation resources are renewable energies and cogeneration (simultaneous production of heat and electricity). Renewable energy is energy from natural resources such as wind, sunlight, tides, waves, geothermal heat and biomass. The optimization aims to minimize the electricity production costs ensuring that the load is served reliably.

This paper describes the effects of distributed generation on electric power systems. Distributed generation is a term that refers to the production of electricity near the consumption place. The effects of distributed generation are: short circuit levels are increased, load losses change, voltage profiles change along the network, voltage transients will appear, congestions can appear in system branches, power quality and reliability may be affected and the networks protections may not function properly. A load flow analysis is done for the IEEE 14 system in which a distributed generator is added, that is on-grid or off-grid.

In this contribution we introduce the Parallel Factor 2 (PARAFAC2) analysis as a novel method for the simultaneous detection and classification of neural action potentials. In order to measure these action potentials (spike signals), stem cell derived neuronal cells are cultivated on the surface of a Micro Electrode Array (MEA). Here, the neuronal cells produce ion currents, which can be measured as extracellular electric potentials. Whenever a cell or a group of cells produces ion currents, either spontaneously or evoked by a stimulus, a spike signal can be measured by the electrodes of the MEA. Stimulated cells produce spikes and groups of spikes (bursts) which propagate in space over the MEA. In the recorded data, different source types (e.g., cells which respond directly to external stimuli and cells which are triggered by other neural cells) are characterized by different spike shapes. The proposed PARAFAC2 method is able to separate these spike shapes (sources) in time, frequency and space (channels) enabling an improved performance in noisy scenarios. Furthermore, PARAFAC2 allows for a causality analysis on the measured spike signals (i.e. the identification of different signal paths). Thereby, the PARAFAC2 decomposition is able to exploit the multi-dimensional structure of the MEA data.

An optical phantom of the maternal abdomen during pregnancy is an appropriate test environment to evaluate a non-invasive system for fetal pulse oximetry. To recreate the optical properties of maternal tissue, fetal tissue and blood suitable substitutes are required. For this purpose, phantom materials are used, which consist of transparent silicone or water as host material. Cosmetic powder and India ink are investigated as absorbing materials, whereas titanium dioxide particles are examined as scattering medium. Transmittance and reflectance measurements of the samples were performed in the spectral range from 600 nm to 900 nm using integrating sphere technique. The scattering and absorption coefficients and the anisotropy factor were determined using Kubelka-Munk theory. The results were used to compute the required mixture ratios of the respective components to replicate the optical properties of maternal tissue, fetal tissue and blood, and corresponding samples were produced. Their optical properties were investigated in the same manner as mentioned above. The results conform to the values of various types of tissues and blood given in the scientific literature.

The special issue of the International Journal of Numerical Modeling: Electronic Networks, Devices And Fields carried a report on the 9th International Symposium on Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF 2013). The 9th edition was organized by the Department of Electrical engineering and computerscience of the faculty of Applied science of the University of Liège and by the Department of Electrical Energy, Systems and automation of the faculty of engineering and Architecture of Ghent University. EMF 2013 was attended by 108 participants from 19 countries and featured four keynote speakers. Twenty-two of the presented papers were selected for publication in this special issue, while the high scientific and technical quality of the symposium was well reflected in the quality of the manuscripts contained in this issue.

This work combines photoplethysmographic and electrical impedance plethysmographic measurements. A lack of blood delivery and oxygenation during pregnancy may have fatal consequences for the fetus. Photoplethysmographic measurements illuminate the tissue and measure the change of light absorption. In this contribution a photoplethysmographic measurement system is presented. The hardware concept includes an analog signal processing circuit for the photodiode and a special driver circuit to power two light sources (red and infrared LED). For photoplethysmographic measurements only one LED is required, but in view of future purposes, such as pulse oximetry, a second LED is already implemented. Furthermore this paper shows results of electrical impedance plethysmography. This designed photoplethysmographic measuring in combination with impedance cardiography might be promising in examine of fetus.
