This paper represents an effective method for optimal placement of DG and capacitor in distribution system. The main objective is to reduce the power losses in the system by placing capacitor and DG of optimal size and at optimal location. Distribution system connects the high voltage transmission system and low voltage side, hence it is necessary to keep the system at minimum losses for making...

A microfluidic traveling-wave electrophoresis (TWE) system is reported that uses a locally defined traveling electric field wave within a microfluidic channel to achieve band transport and separation. Low voltages, over a range of -0.5 to +0.5 V, are used to avoid electrolysis and other detrimental redox reactions while the short distance between electrodes, ∼25 μm, provides high electric field...

Various biologically inspired flow field designs of the gas distributor (interconnector) have been designed and simulated. Their performance using Nafion-212 with humidified H2 and Air at 80 C with the ANSYS Fluent Fuel Cell module software was evaluated. Novel interdigitated designs were optimized by obeying biologically inspired branching rules. These rules allow for more mathematically forma...

Phosphonated porphyrin frameworks that are porous to an electron-accepting perylenediimide are systematically interdigitated with a phosphonated form of the diimide to form bulk heterojunctions. When employed in photovoltaics, these molecularly interlaced heterojunctions provide large junction areas while retaining the phase connectivity of traditional bilayer heterojunctions. Zirconium phospho...

The surface acoustic wave (SAW) is effective for the manipulation of fluids and particles at microscale. The current approach of integrating interdigitated transducers (IDTs) for SAW generation into microfluidic channels involves complex and laborious microfabrication steps. These steps often require full access to clean room facilities and hours to align the transducers to the precise location...

The paper deals with a new 12-bit low power switched-capacitor (SC) ADC for portable applications, such PDA, notebook etc. The paper describes design of ADC and its behavioural modelling regarding low power consumption. The Op-Amp sharing technique and capacitor scaling approach are utilized to obtain it. The basic block topology design is outlined too. The cancellation techniques to avoid the ...

A switchable operational amplifier (op-amp) that uses a switched capacitor integrator has an advantage such as low power consumption and wide gain-bandwidth product. The power reduction is achieve by apply switching samples at the input and output capacitors. These capacitors can be otherwise would contribute in increase in power consumption. During the first phase of the sample the opamp compl...
