This paper presents a switch-level test generation system for synchronous sequential circuits in which a new algorithm for switch-level test generation and an existing fault simulator are integrated. For test generation, a switch-level circuit is modeled as a logic network that correctly models all aspects of switch-level behavior. The time-frame based algorithm uses asynchronous processing wit...

A new maximum power extraction (MPE) controller for variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is proposed. The proposed controller generates optimum speed reference signal for the speed control loop of the vector controlled machine side converter control system without requiring the knowledge of wind speed using only active power and air ...

This paper discusses on-line estimation of rotor body parameters of the synchronous hydro-generator under saturated condition. A new model of the saturated synchronous salient-pole machine, based on the saturated synchronous inductances which are estimated from measured steady-state operating data, is presented. Using this model the excitation disturbance responses of the saturated synchronous ...

This paper presents the dynamic analysis of load following performances of split-shaft microturbine generator (MTG) and Diesel Generator systems considering P-I type load following and P-I type speed controllers under stand-alone mode of operation. In this paper microturbine system coupled with a synchronous generator (SG) is considered. The dynamic performances of split-shaft MTG and Diesel Ge...

The central pattern generator for heartbeat in medicinal leeches constitutes seven identified pairs of segmental heart interneurons. Four identified pairs of heart interneurons make a staggered pattern of inhibitory synaptic connections with segmental heart motor neurons. Using extracellular recording from multiple interneurons in the network in 56 isolated nerve cords, we show that this patter...

Practical issues in the design of power clock generators needed by adiabatic logic circuits are explained. Synchronous and asynchronous power clock generators are designed for an 8-bit adiabatic carry look-ahead adder and the more energy efficient circuit for the power clock generation is determined to be the 2N synchronous power clock generator that exhibits conversion efficiency of 77% at 1 o...

This paper presents an analysis and simulation of a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) driving a low speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The results of the tests are obtained by using the PSIM computer simulation program. The voltage source PWM inverter is used to interface the system with the electrical utility that is simulated in this paper as a resistive-inductive load.
