This paper addresses the timely issue of modeling and analysis of custom power controllers, a new generation of power electronics-based equipment aimed at enhancing the reliability and quality of power flows in lowvoltage distribution networks .The modeling approach is graphical in nature, as opposed to mathematical models embedded in code using a high-level computer language. The well-develope...

Power on chip is highly temperature dependent in deep sub-micron VLSI. With increasing power density in modern 3D-IC and SiP, thermal induced reliability and performance issues such as leakage power and electromigration must be taken into consideration in the system level design. This paper presents a new methodology and its applications to accurately and efficiently predict power and temperatu...

Today, the electricity power system is the most complicated engineering system has ever been made. The integrated power generating stations with power transmission lines has created a network, called complex power network. The reliability estimation of such complex power networks is a very challenging problem, as one cannot find any immediate solution methods in current literature. In this pape...

reliability investigation has always been one of the most important issues in power systems planning. the outages rate in power system reflects the fact that more attentions should be paid on reliability indices to supply consumers with uninterrupted power. using reliability indices in economic dispatch problem may lead to the system load demand with high reliability and low probability of powe...

attention in recent times due to constraints associated with conventional power generation and new advancements in DG technologies .The need to operate the power system economically and with optimum levels of reliability has further led to an increase in interest in Distributed Generation. However it is important to place Distributed Generator on an optimum location so that the purpose of loss ...

Restructuring the recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction as well as the maintenance of large power plants lead to increase in using the Distributed Generation (DG) resources. DG units due to its specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. In this paper, the allocation and sizing of di...

The multi-agent system (MAS) approach has been applied with promising results for enhancing an electric power distribution circuit, such as the Circuit of the Future as developed by Southern California Edison. These next generation power system results include better ability to reconfigure the circuit as well as the increased capability to improve the protection and enhance the reliability of t...

A dynamically-programmable optical-power distribution scheme is proposed for increased reliability and energy efficiency in systems. Precise power allocation and intelligent switch control with 40 Gb/s error-free operation is realized on the 4× 4 multi-stage switch fabric.
