The droop control strategy is the most common approach for microgrids control but its application is limited due to frequency deviation following a load change. Complementary control strategy has then been proposed to solve the problem using a communication network. However, under this strategy, regular loads profile produces a continuous change of output power of all distributed generators (DG...

the currently reactor wreckage in fukushima raised the following important questions: is our knowledge of the possible dangers of ionizing radiation sufficient to warrant special action? what is the role of the medical community in technical radiation accidents from windscale to fukushima? what is the role of the medical community in terrorist radiation attacks? are we prepared for those challe...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the principle ways in which power relations influence communication. A characterization of interpersonal power is given and the role of power in different types of activity that involve communication is discussed. A distinction is drawn between activities that have a conventional power structure and activities that only have such a structure infor...

Welcome to IEEE Micro’s first issue of 2005. Like last year, we begin with a theme issue on Hot Interconnects. In addition to this main theme, the issue also contains two other important articles dealing with mainstream microprocessor architectures. In my message in September-October 2004, I wrote about the balance between computation and communication, and how that must change to enable scalab...

A new non-linear method for design and analysis of solid state power amplifiers is presented and applied to an aluminum gallium nitride, gallium nitride (AlGaN-GaN) high electron-mobility transistor (HEMTs) on silicon-carbide (SiC) substrate for Ku band (12.4 13.6 GHz) applications. With combining output power of 8 transistors, maximum output power of 46.3 dBm (42.6 W), PAE of 43% and linear ga...
