Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC is the most recent HVDC technology with extruded DC cables in small and medium power transmission. VSC-HVDC converters include Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’S) and operated with high frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to get high speed control of both active and reactive power. With VSCHVDC there is an addition degree of freedom....

The paper presents design considerations for a 12-V/1.5-V, 50-A voltage regulator module (VRM) for the next generation of microprocessors. The module has stringent powerdensity and transient-response specifications, which are hard to meet with traditional design techniques. The proposed design solutions increase the VRM efficiency, as well as achieve the desired transient response with a minimu...

Let ). < i, be infinite cardinals and let Q be a set of cardinality 'c. The bounded permutation group B. (Q), or simply B2, is the group consisting of all permutations of Q which move fewer than A points in Q. We say that a permutation group G acting on Q is a supplement of B2 if BA G is the full symmetric group on Q. In [7], Macpherson and Neumann claimed to have classified all supplements of ...

There is some evidence that people have biased perceptions of risks, such as lethal or environmental risks. Hence their behavior is based on beliefs which may di¤er from the ’objective’ beliefs used by a regulator. The optimal regulation then depends on this di¤erence in beliefs. We set up a general framework and study this policy change. It turns out that, in many situations, the policy change...

In this project a new control strategy that can be used together with such a CCC is presented. In the new control system the inverter emulates the operation of a Voltage Source Converter, in the sense that, beside the control of the active power flow through the converter, the reactive power exchange with the AC network can also be managed in order to adjust the alternating voltage of the conve...

of the Thesis Fully Integrated Hybrid Voltage Regulator for Low Voltage Applications by Yongwan Park Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Stony Brook University 2016 A novel hybrid regulator topology is proposed to alleviate the weaknesses of existing hybrid topologies. Contrary to the dominant existing practice, a switchedcapacitor converter and a resistorless LDO operate in a parallel ...

The parallel operation of voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for high-end microprocessors requires a current-sharing (CS) circuit to provide a uniform load distribution among the modules. A good dynamic performance of the CS circuit is very important since the microprocessors present highly dynamic loads to the VRMs. Stability and dynamic performance of the CS control are considered. To assess th...

In this note, we first show that Theorem 2 in the above paper is incorrect. Then, we also show that Theorem 1 is not enough to support the claim in the above paper that the proportional-integral sliding mode control method is more robust than the linear quadratic regulator method when applying on the active suspension system with mismatched uncertainties. © 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
