New, small-scale electric generation technologies permit utility customers to generate some of their own electric power and to utilize waste heat for space heating and other applications at the building site. This combined heat and power (CHP) characteristic can provide significant energy-cost savings. However, most current US utility regulations leave CHP standby rate specification largely to ...

We present a new approach for the estimation and optimization of standby power dissipation in large MOS digital circuits. We first introduce a new approach for accurate and efficient calculation of the average standby or leakage current in large digital circuits by introducing the concepts of “dominant leakage states” and the use of state probabilities. Combined with graph reduction techniques ...

Today, large portions of re...

Deep Sub-Micron SRAM Design for Ultra-Low Leakage Standby Operation by Huifang Qin Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Jan M. Rabaey, Chair Suppressing the standby current in memories is critical in low-power design. By lowering the supply voltage (VDD) to its standby limit, the data retention voltage (DRV...

Operational systems deteriorate over time and eventually fail by the failure of one or more of their components. Failed components are either replaced or repaired, and replacement is usually expensive. This article examines the behavior of repairable systems with imperfect repair, where a failed component is repaired once or more depending on factors such as repair cost, level of deterioration,...

Standby power is the energy consumed by appliances when they are not performing their main functions or when they are switched off. In this paper, we propose a Host-Agent based standby power control architecture in context-aware home network. The proposed architecture uses the IEEE 802.15.4 based ZigBee protocol between Host and Agent for communication and security. We have made an experiment o...

A6stmct-The Quick Paging Channel has been proposed as a method to significantly improve t h e standby times of t h e phones for the 3 6 systems. This paper looks at a way to p u t this common channel in soft handoff, thereby improving the reliability, and leading to a better standby time for the cdma2000 phones. Both the physical layer, and network implications are analyzed in detail.

Redundancy optimization problem with cost constraints is a typical problem in reliability engineering. This study investigates standby redundancy optimization problem with uncertain lifetimes and uncertain costs. Three models for optimizing different performances of a standby system are formulated. In these models, maximizing the reliability measure, maximizing the system lifetime and minimizin...

In this paper, we present the temperature based simulation and analysis of gate leakage current for the proposed low-stress IP3 SRAM bit cell. In CMOS technologies, cache memory occupies a large die area and this may experience different temperatures. Under temperature variations, performance of the system may degrade. Therefore, in the IP3 SRAM cell, gate leakage has been analyzed under temper...
