This paper presents an input-independent method for finding bounds on the voltage drop in RC power bus in digital VLSI circuits. The voltage at power bus nodes is expressed in term of gate currents using sensitivity analysis. Circuit timing information, functionality and logic dependencies are employed to find maximum simultaneous HL and LH switching in a clock subinterval. The sensitivity info...

microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. however, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. one of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (dgs) in islanded mode. droop method performance degrades ...

DriviNG eGaN® FETs When considering gate drive requirements, the three most important parameters for eGaN FETs are (1) the maximum allowable gate voltage, (2) the gate threshold voltage, and (3) the “body diode” voltage drop. The maximum allowable gate-source voltage for an eGaN FET of 6 V is low in comparison with traditional silicon. Secondly, the gate threshold is also low compared to most p...

The advantage of this method involves controlling the flow of current through all the connections – especially those used to measure the voltage. The measurement current flows through one set of connections, usually those that are farthest apart. If these connections are resistive (i.e., the connections are poor) there will be significant voltage drop across them. However, this voltage drop doe...

-Based on the fuzzy set theory, this study introduces three novel three-phase fuzzy feeder models for fast distribution system calculations. These fuzzy models are formulated using three lumped individual phase loads to represent single-phase, three-phase unbalanced, and nonuniformly distributed loads along a feeder. The proposed voltage-drop and line-loss fuzzy models are developed to accurate...

Influence of distributed generation systems in the distribution systems can increase the level of short-circuit current. The effectiveness of distributed generation systems is affected by the size, location, type of distributed generation systems technology, and the methods of connecting to distribution systems. Wind turbine system is the examples of distributed generation source. Not only does...
