Abstract: In Mexico, practically all conveyance systems for water irrigation are composed by a network of channels with control structures operated manually. The lack of automation often results in low irrigation efficiency. To improve water management in these systems, the government has modernized some irrigation districts with automatic structures. However, problems have emerged with the operation of these structures, causing the users to show their inconformity about the new gates. In order to solve this problem, an experimental channel was built where prototypes of hydromechanical structures were installed. This paper presents the results of the experimental channel in terms of capacity building and research on the adaptation of the automated gates to the characteristics of Mexican canals.
Keywords: Open channel; automated; floodgates; operation efficiencies.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present an interactive multimedia
material, which can assist to the educational environment of electrical
power quality courses and especially to those, which do not include
laboratory exercises. This computer interactive multimedia course, which can
be executed on any modern personal computer without any additional hardware
or software, includes general power quality definitions, harmonic analysis,
calculation of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), power factor correction,
passive filters, resonance phenomena, operation of active filters, operation
of active voltage regulators, and operation of state of the art inverters.
Finally, the contents of the proposed e-learning material will be presented
and the implementation of some key interactive animations will be explained
and analyzed.
Keywords: Interactive animations, power quality, inverters, harmonics, passive filtering, active filtering.
