This thesis analyses and models the vulnerability of the electricity power supply under extreme weather conditions. The system under study is the electric supply system that includes major power plants to main load centers. Extreme weather conditions can c ...
For the simulation of electrical power systems (adjustable speed drives, wind farms, complete grids, etc.) the Kirchhoff's model is used. Each of the components of this model (transmission line, circuit breaker, electrical machines, etc.) is represented by ...
Mini and small hydropower is a renewable, clean and efficient resource for the production of mechanical and electrical power. By offsetting thermal generation, it can be a leading technology in climate change mitigation and sustainable development. Small h ...
This paper presents a method for optimal sizing and operation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) used for spinning reserve in a small isolated power system. Numerical simulations are performed on a load-frequency control (LFC) dynamic simulator of t ...
This article integrates solar potential in a given urban area for the competing technologies of Photovoltaic and thermal collectors. On an urban level, scalable from several buildings to whole cities, the authors examine the possibility of solar power inte ...
The necessity to take into account environment problems and in parallel a need for more energy, for the development of emerging economies, makes the management of energy sources a very important problem. The electric transmission network is charged with mo ...

A widely-tunable and power-scalable clock generator for ultra-low power (ULP) applications is presented. Benefitting from a novel self-adjustable loop frequency response, the proposed phase-locked loop based clock generator exhibits a tuning range of three ...
Europe is currently making a great effort in order to improve the sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of its energy and transportation systems. A key role on these initiatives is played by efficient generation systems, like cogeneration, and ...
In many of today’s system-on-chip (SoC) designs, the cores are partitioned into multiple voltage and frequency islands (VFIs), and the global interconnect is implemented using a packetswitched network on chip (NoC). In such VFI-based designs, the benefits ...
