Overview and Outlook

When you do some mountaineering...you sometimes...want to climb to some peak but there is fog everywhere...you have your map or some other indication where you probably have to go and still you are completely lost in the fog. Then...all of a sudden you see quite vaguely in the fog, just a few minute things from which you say, “Oh, this is the rock I want.” In the very moment that you have seen ...

Ripple: Overview and Outlook

Ripple is a payment system and a digital currency which evolved completely independently of Bitcoin. Although Ripple holds the second highest market cap after Bitcoin, there are surprisingly no studies which analyze the provisions of Ripple. In this paper, we study the current deployment of the Ripple payment system. For that purpose, we overview the Ripple protocol and outline its security and...

Smart Microgrids: Overview and Outlook

The idea of changing our energy system from a hierarchical design into a set of nearly independent microgrids becomes feasible with the availability of small renewable energy generators. The smart microgrid concept comes with several challenges in research and engineering targeting load balancing, pricing, consumer integration and home automation. In this paper we first provide an overview on t...

An Overview of Converters for Photo Voltaic

The photovoltaic (PV) systems exhibits nonlinear I-V characteristics and maximum power point varies with solar radiation or insolation and temperature. An intermediate pulse width modulation dc to dc converters can increase efficiency of the system by providing impedance matching between the PV system and the load and operating the PV cell arrays at their maximum power point using MPPT techniqu...
