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...

Assuming exponential lifetime and repair time distributions, we study the limiting availability A? as well per unit time-limiting profit ? of a one-unit system having two identical, cold standby spare units using semi-Markov processes. The failed is repaired either by an in-house repairer within patience T or external expert who works faster but charges more. When there are facilities, allow re...

In this paper, a new MRL assessment approach for multi-state standby system is considered. The three-state backed up with binary cold unit. Given that the at specific state time t, obtaining worth considering in conducting maintenance and repair plans of system. For different degradation rates points, results are examined. An HCTMP considered degradation. Therefore, when observed to be its perf...
