High frequency IGCT operation for DC transformer

Gabriele Ulissi

In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distributionsince the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. Inparticular, this has been the case both in high volt ...

A Multi-Step Reconfiguration Model for Active Distribution Network Restoration Integrating DG Start-Up Sequences

Hossein Sekhavatmanesh

The ever-increasing penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in distribution networks suggests to enable their potentials in better fulfilling the restoration objective. The objective of the restoration problem is to resupply the maximum energy of loads ...

IGCT Based Solid State Resonant Conversion

Dragan Stamenkovic

Driven by the environmental changes, penetration of renewables and the need for more flexible power grid, DC is reemerging as a basis for future power networks. Already established in the area of HVDC for very long distance transmission, more and more atte ...

A Reliability and Efficiency Optimization System for Hard-Switching DC/DC Converters

Maher Kayal, Adil Koukab, Giacomo Ripamonti, Stefano Michelis, Federico Faccio

The Large Hadron Collider experiments at CERN will use power distribution schemes relying on integrated buck DC/DC converters. Due to the radiation-hardness requirements, the devices used for the development of such converters will have a voltage rating wh ...

NEM Relay Design with Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Winston Jason Haaswijk

In this paper, we present an improved design flow for nanoelectromechanical (NEM) relay-based combinational logic circuits. Six-terminal NEM relays can be programmed to act as 2-to-1 multiplexers. We can therefore use NEM relays to implement arbitrary comb ...

A Study on Buffer Distribution for RRAM-based FPGA Routing Structures

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Somayyeh Rahimian Omam

Compared to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide reconfigurablity at the cost of lower performance and higher power consumption. Exploiting a large number of programmable switche ...

26.3 A pin- and power-efficient low-latency 8-to-12Gb/s/wire 8b8w-coded SerDes link for high-loss channels in 40nm technology

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Christoph Walter, Harm Cronie, Anant Pratap Singh, Klaas Lammert Hofstra, Kia Salimi

The continuing demand for higher bandwidth in serial interconnects has pushed the symbol rate of differential lanes into the high-insertion-loss region of channels. Multi-level signaling such as differential PAM-4 [1] has been used to mitigate the loss of ...

A Method for the Assessment of the Optimal Parameter of Discrete-Time Switch Model

Mario Paolone, Reza Razzaghi, Chrysanthi Foti

This paper proposes a novel method for the optimal parameter selection of the discrete-time switch model used in circuit solvers that adopt the fixed admittance matrix nodal method (FAMNM) approach. As known, FAMNM-based circuit solvers allow to reach effi ...
