|Transient stability investigations consist of studying the rotor oscillations of generators (electro-mechanic oscillations, 0.1-2 Hz) after the occurrence of a fault of large amplitude, e.g. short circuit. The goal is to indicate if the generators are capable to stay synchronous after a fault has occurred. The fault duration is one of the most important factors to be determined. In fact, the s...

This paper presents a method for solving power system transient stability problem by multiprocessing computing. A new algorithm based on system splitting, partitioning and Wmatrix techniques has been developed and implemented in the High Speed Transient Stability (HSTS) program. This program has embedded parallelism and can be executed on various platforms of parallel and distributed processing...

The conventional way to analyze the robustness of an SRAM bit cell is to quantify its immunity to static noise. The static immunity to disturbances like process and mismatch variations, bulk noises, supply rings variations, temperature changes is well characterized by means of the Static Noise Margin (SNM) defined as the maximum applicable series voltage at the inputs which causes no change in ...

As power systems become increasingly stability constrained, the need for dynamic security assessment (DSA) becomes important. However, the resources and technology required to achieve on-line DSA at reasonable cost for utility companies are not easily come by. Therefore, an offline method is needed to examine and screen all likely contingencies to determine those that may lead to instability. S...
