This paper describes a reactive optimal power flow incorporating margin enhancement constraints. Margin sensitivity at a steady-state voltage instability point is calculated using invariant space parametric sensitivity, and it can provide valuable information for selection of effective control parameters. However, the weakest buses in neighboring regions have high margin sensitivities within a certain range. Hence, the control determination using only the sensitivity information might cause violation of operational limits of the base operating point, at which the control is applied to enhance voltage stability margin in the direction of parameter increase. This paper applies an interior point method (IPM) to solve the optimal power flow formulation with the margin enhancement constraints, and shunt capacitances are mainly considered as control variables. In addition, nonlinearity of margin enhancement with respect to control of shunt capacitance is considered for speed-up control determination in the numerical example using the IEEE 118-bus test system.

In this paper, we present a new adaptive biasing scheme for CMOS op-amps. The designed circuit has been used in an Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) with ${\pm}1$ V power supply, and it has improved the positive and negative slew rates from 2.92 V/msec to 1242 V/msec and from 1.56 V/msec to 133 V/msec respectively, while maintaining all the small-signal performance parameter values the same as that without adaptive biasing (as expected), however, there was a marginal decrease of the dynamic range. The most useful features of the proposed circuit are that it uses a very low number of components (thus not creating severe area penalty) and requires only 25 nW of extra stand-by power.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) films are deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and $H_2O$ as precursors. The operating instructions for the ALD equipment are described in detail, along with the settings for relevant parameters. The thickness of the $TiO_2$ film is measured, and thereby, the deposition rate is quantitatively estimated to verify the linearity of the deposition rate.

This paper considers the problem of identifying the time-varying parameters of the bilinear systems. The Parameters, in this paper, are identified by using the EBPOMs (Extended Block Pulse Operational Matrices) which can reduce the burden of operation and the volume of error caused by matrices multiplication

Electric motor transforms electric power into mechanical power. It is important to increase efficiency of motor to save energy and to decrease operating cost. In this paper, some parameters and losses of high-efficiency induction motor and standard induction motor are measured by blocked-rotor test and no-load test. Operational parameters of high-efficiency induction motor that are compared with those of standard motor.

A performance prediction model for Small Hydro Power(SHP) sites has been studied and developed. Twelve SHP sites were selected and the performance characteristics were analyzed by using the developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, plant capacity, operational rate were suggested and feasibility for small hydro power sites were estimated. It was found that the design flowrate is most important parameter to exploit SHP plant and the methodology developed in this study can be a useful tool to analyze the performance of SHP sites.

A bench-scale continuous activated sludge system was operated in order to study the effects of solid waste landfill leachate on municipal wastewater treatment. The leachate sample was collected from Nanjido landfill. During the 7 weeks of operational period, the leachate content in the influent fed to the system was increased stepwise from 3% to 5% and 7%. The solids retention time was the major process control parameter, and it was 10 days. With the municipal wastewater alone, COD removal was 75%. The removal percents, however, decreased to 60% and 45% when the leachate content was 3% and 7%, respectively. For the wastewater spiked with the leachate, the sludge production was higher than for the municipal wastewater alone. Sludge settleability determined by SVI deteriorated with the increase of leachate content. The specific oxygen uptake rate, however, was measured higher as leachate content increased.

In 2000, US Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) released the status of reliability requirement levels and achievements for the military equipment which evaluated through the operational tests from 1985 to 1990 and from 1996 to 2000. The rates of military equipments that do not meet reliability requirements are 59% from 1985 to 1990 and 80% from 1996 to 2000. Thus, the US Army has figured out causes, taken steps and put them into practice, This paper is about the recent reliability problems and the latest tendency about US military equipment to acquirere liability level.

This study investigated the possibility of using the recorded micro tremor data on ground level as ambient vibration input excitation data for investigation and application Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) on the bench-scale earthquake simulator (The Quanser Shake Table) for model chimney. As known OMA methods (such as EFDD, SSI and so on) are supposed to deal with the ambient responses. For this purpose, analytical and experimental modal analysis of a model chimney for dynamic characteristics was performed. 3D Finite element model of the chimney was evaluated based on the design drawing. Ambient excitation was provided by shake table from the recorded micro tremor ambient vibration data on ground level. Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition is used for the output only modal identification. From this study, best correlation is found between mode shapes. Natural frequencies and analytical frequencies in average (only) 1.996% are different.
