This paper presents a dynamic simulation algorithm for studying the effect of United Power Flow Controller(UPFC) on the low frequency power system oscillations and transient stability studies. The proposed algorithm is a Newton-type one and uses current injection type UPFC model, which gives a fast convergence characteristics. The algorithm is applied to studying inter-area power oscillation damping enhancement of a sample two-area power system both in time domain and frequency domain. The case study results show that the proposed algorithm is very efficient and UPFC is very effective and robust against operating point change.

In this paper, we propose a new moving mobile base station (MMBS) scheme for very low power and micro-size RMIMS (radio-interfaced micro information monitoring system) terminals. RMIMS terminals can be used in various application service areas such as pollution monitoring, environment surveillance, traffic monitoring, emergency monitoring (e.g., building, bridge, railroad breakdown), security monitoring (e.g., theft, alarm) and military application. For these applications based on wireless transmission technologies, sensor type RMIMS terminals must satisfy low cost and low power design (e.g., solar power, life limited battery) requirement. In RMIMS terminal design, this low power requirement limits transmission range of uplink or reverse link and means small cell size. Also these applications using RMIMS terminals may have a little bit non real-time traffic characteristic and low scattering density in service area.

This paper presents a system-on-chip prototype implementing a full integration for a portable digital audio system. The chip is composed of a audio processor block to implements audio decoding and voice compression or decompression software, a system control block including 8-bit MCU core and Memory Management Unit (MMU) a low power 16-bit ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ CODEC, two DC-to-BC converter, and a flash memory controller. In order to support other audio algorithms except Mask ROM type's fixed codes, a novel 16-bit fixed-point DSP core with the program-download architecture is proposed. Funker, an efficient power management technique such as task-based clock management is implemented to reduce power consumption for portable application. The proposed chip has been fabricated with a 4 metal 0.25um CMOS technology and the chip area is about 7.1 mm ${\times}$ 7.1mm with 100mW power dissipation at 2.5V power supply.

With long time setting, zone 3 impedance relays are considered insensitive to power swings, and their operation condition during power swings is seldom analyzed. Instead of ti me-consuming simulation to the swing loci, their operation condition is directly quantified by polynominal functions in this paper to find the critical swing angle and frequency for relay operation under different relay settings and system parameters. It is found: (1) the swing loci are more densely populated inside than outside of the protection region, which corresponds to long residence time and possible relay operations; (2) the relays may be sensitive to load encroac hments and stable power swings with different relay settings and system parameters; (3) the critical swing frequency may be in the range of low-frequency power swings.

By considering low power design at higher levels of abstraction rather than at lower levels of abstraction, we can apply various transformation techniques to a system design with wider view and obtain much more effective power reduction with less cost and effort. In this paper, a transformation technique, called power - conscious loop folding is proposed for high level synthesis of a low power system.Our work is focused on reducing the power consumed by functional units in adata path dominated circuit through the decrease of switching activity. Te transformation algorithm has been implemented and integrated into HYPER, a high level synthesis system for experiments. In our experiments, we could achieve a pwoer reduction of up to 50% for data path dominated circuits.

Generally in solar air conditioning system, the diode rectifier is used to build up DC link voltage from AC source. The diode rectifier is simple and cheap but it brings out the problems of low power factor and plentiful harmonics at the AC source. Also It can degrade the utilization rate of solar energy because the reverse of power flow cannot be made. Hence, in this paper to overcome the peak power problems in summer and to endure good AC input characteristics, solar air conditioning system using the PWM converter is proposed. A high input power factor of 97[%] and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The harmonic guide lines of proposed rectifier is no interfered with inverter switching, resulting in a simple, reliable and low cost ac to dc converters in comparison with the boost type current improving circuits.

In this work, an accurate analysis of low frequency current ripple in residential fuel cell power generation systems is performed based on the proposed residential load model and its unique operation algorithm. Rather than using a constant dc voltage source, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model is implemented in this research so that a system-level analysis considering the fuel cell stack, power conditioning system (PCS), and the actual load is possible. Using the attained results, a comparative study regarding the discrepancies of low frequency current ripple between a simple resistor load and a realistic residential load is performed. The data indicate that the low frequency current ripple of the proposed residential load model is increased by more than a factor of two when compared to the low frequency current ripple of a simple resistor load under identical conditions. Theoretical analysis, simulation data, and experimental results are provided, along with a model of the load usage pattern of low frequency current ripples.

While commercialization of IoT technologies in the safety management sector is being promoted in terms of industrial safety of large indoor businesses, implementing a system for risk management of small outdoor work sites with frequent site movements is not actively implemented. In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which combined low-power, wide-bandwidth (LPWA) communication and low-power Bluetooth (BLE) communication technologies to support customized risk management alarm systems for each individual (driver/operator/manager). This study was designed to enable long-term low-power collection and transmission of traffic information in outdoor environment, as well as to implement an integrated real-time safety management system that notifies a whole field worker who does not carry a separate smart device in advance. Performance assessments of the system, including risk alerts to drivers and workers via Bluetooth communication, the speed at which critical text messages are received, and the operation of warning/lighting lamps are all well suited to field application.

It is the approach of embedded system design that analyzes COS(Cut Out Switch) failure in the power distribution and an instantaneous breakdown of power distribution supply could cause the weakness of industrial competence and therefore we need to feed the stable power distribution with developing the technology of open-source embedded system. In this paper, we apply the LoRa technology which is the Internet of Things(IoT) protocol for low data rate, low power, low cost and long range sensor applications. We designed the hardware and software architecture setup and experimented the embedded system with network architecture and COS monitoring system including accelerometer for detecting the failure of distribution line and sensing the failure of its fuse holder by recognizing the variation and collision and afterwards sending the information to a gateway. With experimenting we designed the embedded platform for sensing the variation and collision according to the COS failure, monitoring its fuse holder status and transferring the information of states with LoRa technology.
