The endeavor for a more sustainable power generation has led to a dramatic increase in power generation from renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind and solar. These sources are of fluctuating nature and therefore introduce new challenges to power system operation, which was historically designed for generators with constant infeed. The fluctuations are balanced by ancillary services contr...

Renewable energy sources (RES) are being increasingly connected in distribution system utilizing power electronic converters. This paper presents a novel control strategy for achieving maximum benefits from this grid interfacing inverters when installed in 3-phase 4wire distribution systems. The inverter is controlled to perform as multi-function device by incorporating active power filter func...

Balls are sequentially allocated into n bins as follows: for each ball, an independent, uniformly random bin is generated. An overseer may then choose to either allocate the ball this bin, or else a new independent bin. The goal of reduce load most heavily loaded after ?(n) balls have been allocated. We provide asymptotically optimal strategy yielding maximum (1+o(1)) 8logn loglogn balls.

Analysis and simulation are presented of the mismatched load condition for a balanced class-E power amplifier, which is based on 90° hybrids at its input and output. The performances of the 200-Watt balanced class-E amplifier, such as the output power and efficiency, were analyzed and compared to the conventional single-ended class-E power amplifier for the 1:3 VSWR mismatch condition. The simu...

In this paper, we derive feedback power control strategies for block-faded multiple access schemes with correlated sources and joint channel decoding (JCD). In particular, upon the derivation of the feasible signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region for the considered multiple access schemes, i.e., the multidimensional SNR region where error-free communications are, in principle, possible, two feedbac...

Balanced gates are an effective countermeasure against power analysis attacks only if they can be guaranteed to maintain their power balance. Traditional testing and reliability methods are used primarily only to ensure the correctness of the logical functionality and not the balance of a circuit. Due to the hardware redundancy in balanced gate designs, there are many faults which can imbalance...
