Power System Considerations for Undersea Observatories: The Basic Trade-offs
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is proposed that power systems for undersea observatories combine ideas from terrestrial power systems and switching power supplies with experience from undersea cable systems. Basic system trade-offs for various design decisions are explored in this paper. First, design questions such as whether the power delivery should be by means of alternating or direct current, and a parallel or series network are examined. This introduces the question of maximum power delivery capability, which is explored in depth. A separate issue, the negative incremental resistance presented to the delivery system by the use of constant-voltage converters is examined, and the resulting dynamics explored by simulation.

متن کاملEthical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage
This article discusses what ethicists have called “unacceptable trade-offs” in health policy choices related to universal health coverage (UHC). Since the fiscal space is constrained, trade-offs need to be made. But some trade-offs are unacceptable on the path to universal coverage. Unacceptable choices include, among other examples from low-income countries, to expand coverage for services wit...
متن کاملDefining Pathways and Trade-offs Toward Universal Health Coverage; Comment on “Ethical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage”
The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) World Health Report 2010, “Health systems financing, the path to universal coverage,” promoted universal health coverage (UHC) as an aspirational objective for country health systems. Yet, in addition to the dimensions of services and coverage, distribution of coverage in the population, and financial risk protection highlighted by the report, the conside...
متن کاملCoronavirus: Where Has All the Health Economics Gone?
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to unfold there is an untold number of trade-offs being made in every country around the globe. The experience in the United Kingdom and Canada to date has not seen much uptake of health economics methods. We provide some thoughts on how this could take place, specifically in three areas. Firstly, this can involve understanding the i...
متن کاملOptimization Trade-offs in the Synthesis of Software for Embedded DSP
A broad variety of implementation considerations become important when implementing software for embedded signal processing applications. These include complex trade-offs such as those involving code size, data buffering requirements, performance, and power consumption. This presentation motivates the use of high-level, dataflow-based programming models for automated synthesis of DSP software; ...
