Under restructuring, not only real power pricing but also reactive power pricing is important for the system operation Especially, making a reasonable reactive power pricing is becoming more important than any other time. In this paper, the authors set a proper power factor and price the portion of the reactive power generation that exceeds the power factor. To apply this method to an optimization problem, we developed optimal power flow based on interior point method. By using this IPM for the power system, the System operator can use this strategy for reactive power generation pricing and also the Generators can got the motivation to generate reactive power.

Continuation power flow has been developed to remove the ill-condition problem caused by singularity of power flow Jacobian at and near steady-state voltage instability point in conventional power flow. When solving large-scale power transmission systems, continuation power flow require large computational costs. Therefore, technique to improve the speed of continuation power flow system was required. In this paper Decoupled Power Flow Method (DPFM), Enhanced Decoupled Power Flow Method (EDPFM), Robust Fast Decoupled Power Flow Method (RFDPFM) are applied to continuation power flow algorithm to improve the speed of continuation power flow system.

For the low-power design of the mobile multimedia system architecture, this paper modeling the mobile multimedia system and analysis the power consumption profile about the whole communication environment. The mobile system model consist of air interface, RIP front-end, base-band processing module and human interface. For the result of power consumption profile analysis, the power consumption of multimedia processing is above 60% compare to the whole power consumption in mobile multimedia system. To minimize the power consumption in processing module which consumes the large power, this paper proposed the Microscopic DVS technique which applies the optimum voltage for the each multimedia frame. For the simulation result, proposed power minimization technique reduce the power consumption about 30%.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the technology that forces the power to transmit electromagnetic field to an electrical load through an air gap without interconnecting wires. This technology is widely used for the applications from low power smartphone to high power electric railroad. In this paper, the model of wireless power transfer circuit for the low power system is designed for a resonant frequency of 13.45 MHz. Also, a feedback WPT circuit to improve the power transfer efficiency is proposed and shown better performance than the original open WPT circuit, and the methodology for power efficiency improvement is studied as the coupling coefficient increases above 0.01, at which the split frequency is made.

Modern electronic devices such as tablets and smartphones are getting more powerful and efficient. The demand in feature sets, functionality and usability increase exponentially and this has posed a great challenge to the design of a power distribution network (PDN). Power rails merging is a popular option used today in a PDN design as numerous power rails are no longer feasible due to form factor limitation and cost constraint. In this paper, the criteria and limitations for power rails merging are discussed. Despite having all the advantages such as pin count reduction, decoupling capacitors sharing, lower impedance and cost saving, power rails merging can however, introduce coupling noise to the system. In view of this, a PDN design with power rails merging that fulfills design recommendations and specifications such as noise target, power well placement, voltage supply values as well as power supply quadrant assignment is extremely important.

In this paper, Asynchronous Self-Power Gating technique (ASPG) is used to reduce consumption power in asynchronous digital watch application. The power gating control signal is automatically generated by internal system operation characteristics instead of using replica circuit delay or four-phase handshaking protocol. Isolation cell is designed to insert it between power gating domain and normal operation domain. By using self-power gating circuit, asynchronous digital watch application consumes very low power and maintains data during sleep mode. The comparison results show the proposed ASPG technique saves leakage power up to 40.47% and delay time is reduced to 71% compared to the conventional circuit.

In this paper two kinds of techniques were compared for localization of PD(partial discharge) in power transformer and more useful method was suggested. Both of them, the time of arrival and the energy content method, were tested in 154kV single phase experimental transformer using UHF signal measurement. The former was using the difference of arrival time of recorded signals from four UHF sensors, the latter was based on the energy content in frequency spectra of signals detected at all sensors.

Increasing of the use nonlinear power electronics equipments, power conditioning systems have been researched and developed for many years to compensate the harmonic disturbances and the reactive power. The main function of power conditioning systems is to reduce harmonic distortions, since extensive surveys quantify the problems associated with electric networks haying non-linear loads. The main function of power conditioner compensates the current instead of the voltage. Therefore the inverter used in power conditioner ismostley current controlled type. In this paper, the proposed current control algorithm is analyzed and discussed about how to design the controller which can apply power conditioning operation for grid-connective PV power system. And also proposed control system. To verify the proposed current control algorithm, a comprehensive evaluation with theoretical analysis, simulation results is presented.

The main function of power conditioning systems is to reduce harmonic distortions, since extensive surveys quantify the problems associated with electric networks having non-linear loads. The main function of power conditioner compensates the current instead of the voltage. Therefore the inverter used in power conditioner is mostly current controlled type.

In this paper, a hybrid booster power module with Si IGBT and Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Barrier Diode (SBDs) is presented. The switching characteristics of the hybrid booster module are compared with commercial Silicon IGBT/Si PIN diode based modules. We applied the booster power module into a non-isolated on board vehicle charger with a simple buck-booster topology. The performances of the on-vehicle charger are analyzed and measured with different power modules. The test data is measured in the same system, at the same points of operation, using the conventional Si and hybrid Si/SiC power modules. The measured power conversion efficiency of the proposed on-vehicle charger is 96.4 % with the SiC SBD based hybrid booster module. The conversion efficiency gain of 1.4 % is realizable by replacing the Si-based booster module with the Si IGBT/SiC SBD hybrid boost module in the 6.6 kW on-vehicle chargers.
