Abstract— One of the major concerns for a 3-D package is to deal with power supply noise. Decoupling Capacitances (decap) allocation is a powerful technique to suppress power supply noise. In this work we integrate noise analysis and decap estimation in the floorplanning process. We also use the global routers results directly to estimate congestion and tight couple global routing with floorpla...

Developing countries often have access to limited energy resources, which frequently results in power cuts and failures. During these power cuts, enterprises rely on backup sources for power such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and electric generators. This paper proposes AnywareDC, an architecture that builds on the recent work on Anyware [6] to reduce energy utilization in the presenc...

Resonant grounding is efficient system for grounding electrical appliances. Unlike solidly grounded system where the fault current developed keeps circulating in the system causing arcing and other heat losses which end up causing total power failure. The action of resonant grounding in Nigerian power system was critically studied in this work. In Nigerian power system, solid grounding has been...

The process of developing appropriate supply chain performance measurement instruments is difficult due to the complexity of supply chains. This paper presents an overview and evaluation of the performance measurement instruments used in supply chain models. As a result it advances a framework for developing an innovative supply chain performance measurement instrument which is generally applic...

unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. while traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...
