We report measurements and analysis of the voltage noise due the to vortex motion, performed in superconducting Niobium micro-bridges. Noise in such small systems exhibits important changes from the behavior commonly reported in macroscopic samples. In the low biasing current regime, the voltage fluctuations are shown to deviate substantially from the Gaussian behavior which is systematically o...

BACKGROUND The electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is based on the assumption that QRS voltage increases with left ventricular mass. However, most of patients with echocardiographically detected LVH do not have increased QRS voltage. Reduced intercellular coupling has been observed in LVH patients and animal models. The purpose of this study was to show th...

This paper proposes an improved droop control strategy based on changeable reference in low-voltage microgrids. To restore running frequency of distributed generation to a rated value without affecting its reactive power output, changeable frequency reference, mainly compensating for frequency deviation, are proposed corresponding to various load demands. In terms of active power sharing inaccu...

A voltage reference circuit operating with all transistors biased in weak inversion, providing a mean reference voltage of 257.5 mV, has been fabricated in 0.18 m CMOS technology. The reference voltage can be approximated by the difference of transistor threshold voltages at room temperature. Accurate subthreshold design allows the circuit to work at room temperature with supply voltages down t...

This paper presents the particle swarm optimization (PSO) for reactive power and voltage control (Volt/Var Control) in distribution system considering DFIG wind farm. In this paper, the reactive power output of DFIG wind farm has been considered as the control variables in the Volt/Var Control scheme by considering the reactive power compensation capability of DFIG. The minimization of total sy...

High-power high-voltage dc power supply has been developed based on series resonant converter technology for a MW class RF amplifier. For low-voltage ripple, an IGBT inverter consisting of 1400 V-600 A devices is drives with a maximum switching frequency of 31.2 kHz. A performance test was carried out using an RF amplifier. We examined this power supply under two different conditions. One was w...
