The article contains the analysis of alternative sources and the perspectives of application low-powered nuclear thermoelectric power stations for electromagnetic compatibility on distance oil and gas fields with mesh power networks from 6 to 35 kV.

Methods of calculation of thermal processes of the isolating materials are considered, in problems of nondestructive diagnostics of the main and distributive power stations. Theoretical justification of calculation of thermal processes of the multilayered isolating structure was given. On the basis of the analysis of results of operation, service life, physical processes of "ageing" and use of ...

The degree of market power (more precisely, the potential for market power obtained from a market concentration indicator such as HHI) increases as system stress increases. This paper illustrates the effect of system loading on the reactive power HHI for various locations. The paper also illustrates the use of sensitivity formulas to come up with measures intended to improve (reduce) the overal...

High-Fidelity Power Metering and Run-Time Energy Management in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks are poised to become a very significant enabling technology in many sectors. Already a few very low power wireless sensor platforms have entered the marketplace. Almost all of these platforms are designed to run on batteries that have a very limited lifetime. In order for wireless sensor networks to become a ubiquitous part of our environment, alternative power sources ...

Multi-Supply voltage design using Cluster Voltage Scaling (CVS) is an effective way to reduce power consumption without performance degradation. One of the major issues in this method is performance and power overheads due to insertion of Level Converting Flip-Flops (LCFF) at the interface from low-supply to high-supply clusters to simultaneously perform latching and level conversion. In this p...

In a recent keynote speech [1], UCB Prof. Randy Katz defined power as the 21st century’s most limited, as well as most wasted resource: not only we seem to be unable to generate “greener” power but, at all levels, we seem to be really poor even in making an efficient use of our precious power. We waste while doing things, as well as while doing nothing! “Electronics is sized for peak power cons...
