Transitioning from centralized to distributed control : using SGAM to support a collaborative development of web of cells architecture for real time control
This paper shares some early experiences of developing the Web of Cells (WoC) concept for real time implementation supported by the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) reference framework. One of the use cases identified for the WoC concept is elaborated upon and is mapped to SGAM, providing one of the first examples where the SGAM reference framework has been used to develop a future distributed control architecture for real time implementation in power systems. Furthermore, this paper offers some insight into the key contributions that this approach can bring, such as a more effective interdisciplinary collaboration, better understanding of the control problem, and its implementation and validation
Education and training needs, methods, and tools
The importance of education and training in the domain of power and energy systems targeting the topics of cyber-physical energy systems/smart grids is discussed in this chapter. State-of-the art laboratory-based and simulation-based tools are presented, aiming to address the new educational needs
Laboratory coupling approach
This chapter deals with the coupling of smart grid laboratories for joint experiments. Therefore, various possibilities are outlined and a reference implementation is introduced. Finally, the vision of a distributed, virtual research infrastructure is presented
Hardware-in-the-loop assessment methods
The importance of using real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop techniques for the domain of power and energy systems is covered by this chapter. A brief overview of the main concepts is provided as well as a method for their integration into a holistic validation framework for testing smart grid systems. Also, corresponding reference implementations are outlined
Q^2 Dependence of the S_{11}(1535) Photocoupling and Evidence for a P-wave resonance in eta electroproduction
New cross sections for the reaction are reported for total
center of mass energy =1.5--2.3 GeV and invariant squared momentum transfer
=0.13--3.3 GeV. This large kinematic range allows extraction of new
information about response functions, photocouplings, and coupling
strengths of baryon resonances. A sharp structure is seen at 1.7 GeV.
The shape of the differential cross section is indicative of the presence of a
-wave resonance that persists to high . Improved values are derived for
the photon coupling amplitude for the (1535) resonance. The new data
greatly expands the range covered and an interpretation of all data with
a consistent parameterization is provided.Comment: 31 pages, 9 figure
Measurement of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering with a Polarized Proton Target
The longitudinal target-spin asymmetry A_UL for the exclusive
electroproduction of high energy photons was measured for the first time in
p(e,e'p\gamma). The data have been accumulated at Jefferson Lab with the CLAS
spectrometer using 5.7 GeV electrons and a longitudinally polarized NH_3
target. A significant azimuthal angular dependence was observed, resulting from
the interference of the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering and Bethe-Heitler
processes. The amplitude of the sin(phi) moment is 0.252 +/- 0.042(stat) +/-
0.020(sys). Theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the magnitude
and the kinematic dependence of the target-spin asymmetry, which is sensitive
to the generalized parton distributions H and H-tilde.Comment: Modified text slightly, added reference
Measurement of the Polarized Structure Function for in the Resonance Region
The polarized longitudinal-transverse structure function
has been measured using the reaction in the
resonance region at and 0.65 GeV. No previous
data exist for this reaction channel. The kinematically
complete experiment was performed at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large
Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) using longitudinally polarized electrons at an
energy of 1.515 GeV. A partial wave analysis of the data shows generally better
agreement with recent phenomenological models of pion electroproduction
compared to the previously measured channel. A fit to both
and channels using a unitary isobar model suggests the unitarized
Born terms provide a consistent description of the non-resonant background. The
-channel pion pole term is important in the channel through a
rescattering correction, which could be model-dependent.Comment: 6 pages, LaTex, 5 eps figures: Submitted to PRC/Brief Reports v2:

Deeply virtual and exclusive electroproduction of omega mesons
The exclusive omega electroproduction off the proton was studied in a large
kinematical domain above the nucleon resonance region and for the highest
possible photon virtuality (Q2) with the 5.75 GeV beam at CEBAF and the CLAS
spectrometer. Cross sections were measured up to large values of the
four-momentum transfer (-t < 2.7 GeV2) to the proton. The contributions of the
interference terms sigma_TT and sigma_TL to the cross sections, as well as an
analysis of the omega spin density matrix, indicate that helicity is not
conserved in this process. The t-channel pi0 exchange, or more generally the
exchange of the associated Regge trajectory, seems to dominate the reaction
gamma* p -> omega p, even for Q2 as large as 5 GeV2. Contributions of handbag
diagrams, related to Generalized Parton Distributions in the nucleon, are
therefore difficult to extract for this process. Remarkably, the high-t
behaviour of the cross sections is nearly Q2-independent, which may be
interpreted as a coupling of the photon to a point-like object in this
kinematical limit.Comment: 15 pages,19 figure
A Precise Measurement of the Neutron Magnetic Form Factor GMn in the Few-GeV2 Region
The neutron elastic magnetic form factor GMn has been extracted from
quasielastic electron scattering data on deuterium with the CEBAF Large
Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. The kinematic coverage of the
measurement is continuous from Q2=1 GeV2 to 4.8 GeV2. High precision was
achieved by employing a ratio technique in which many uncertainties cancel, and
by a simultaneous in-situ calibration of the neutron detection efficiency, the
largest correction to the data. Neutrons were detected using the CLAS
electromagnetic calorimeters and the time-of-flight scintillators. Data were
taken at two different electron beam energies, allowing up to four
semi-independent measurements of GMn to be made at each value of Q2. The dipole
parameterization is found to provide a good description of the data over the
measured Q2 range.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, revtex4, submitted to Physical Review Letters,
