Renewable energy policies, such as the Renewable Portfolio Standard, arising from increasing environmental concerns have set very ambitious targets for wind power penetration in electric power systems throughout the world. In many cases, the geographical locations with good wind resources are not close to the main load centers. It becomes extremely important to assess adequate transmission faci...

The objective of this paper is to study the feasibility of Broadband technologies for home application in an effective manner and to develop a simplified transfer characteristic model for the low voltage indoor power line for Broadband power line communication based on the transmission line theory using software simulation for generalization purpose as it is already known that there is no such ...

This paper presents a novel quad-band power divider with equal power division ratio. The proposed power divider is realized using two cascaded sections of dual-band transformers based on coupled microstrip lines. Limitations of using dual-band quarterwavelength transformers based on coupled lines are studied through parametric analysis to obtain useful design guidelines related to available fab...

This paper presents a comparative study of susceptibility reduction techniques for electromagnetic interference (EMI) in digital integrated circuits (ICs). Both direct power injection (DPI) and very-fast transmission-line pulsing (VF-TLP) methods are used to inject interference into the substrate of a single test chip. This IC is built around six functionally identical cores, differing only by ...

In small and medium size power systems, of about 100-600 MW, network frequency variations could take place causing wind parks disconnection from the grid, in case of a non suitable setting of the frequency protection devices. In this paper, the setting of such frequency protection devices, associated to the interconnecting transmission line between the wind park and the grid, is studied for a b...

With the advent of advanced technology in smart grid, the implementation of renewable energy in a stressed and complicated power system operation, aggravated by a competitive electricity market and critical system contingencies, this will inflict higher probabilities of the occurrence of a severe dynamic power system blackout. This paper presents the proposed stochastic event tree technique use...
