49 he liberalization of the world’s energy markets is forcing the electric supply industry to reorganize itself from the ground up. On the one hand, it is expanding to include energy services, power marketing and information technology based services; and on the other, it is increasing asset utilization, reducing maintenance costs, and saving on investments by optimizing operation of the existi...

This paper presents a new methodology for software compilation for embedded DSP systems. Although it is well known that conventional compilation techniques do not produce high quality DSP code, few researchers have addressed this area. Performance, estimated power dissipation, and code size are important design constraints in embedded DSP design. New techniques for code generation targeting DSP...

G eneral-purpose multicore processors are being accepted in all segments of the industry, including signal processing and embedded space, as the need for more performance and general-purpose programmability has grown. Parallel processing increases performance by adding more parallel resources while maintaining manageable power characteristics. The implementations of multicore processors are num...

Process control and energy conservation are the two primary reasons for using an adjustable speed drive. However, voltage sags are the most important power quality problems facing many commercial and industrial customers. The development of boost converters has raised much excitement and speculation throughout the electric industry. Now utilities are looking to these devices for performance imp...

With the unbundling and the restructuring of the electric power industry worldwide, the transmission component of the system has evolved from merely a means of providing shared reliability and seasonal sharing of resources to becoming the commercial highway. This evolution has allowed a series of institutional models of that highway to develop. Three concepts have emerged under an umbrella of R...
