Small embedded systems operating in unattended conditions do need to be perpetually powered if a truly pervasive paradigm is envisaged. Harvesting energy from the surrounding environment seems to be the best option. For that, a set of systems has been proposed featuring interesting solutions but not yet capable of overcoming some issues like performance and flexibility. The authors propose a no...

optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. the distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

In this paper we describe an approach for using the true single phase clock (TSPC) circuit style for the implementation of a scalable, pre-loadable pre-scaler. By utilization of a signed digit (SD) based redundant adder cell the execution of the necessary addition operation can be performed in only one clock cycle, independent from the length of the applied operators. The development process fo...
