Intermittent nature of wind power faced ISO and power producers with new challenges. Wind power uncertainty has increased the required reserve capacity and deployment reserve. Consequently, large-scale wind power generation increases ISO costs and consequently reserve prices. On the other hand, since wind power producers are price taker, large-scale wind power generation decreases residual dema...

the ultimate goal of power system operation and planning is to increase power system reliability which enforces interconnected operation of power system. as a result of power system interconnection, the inter-area oscillation under different disturbances may cause power system partial or total blackout. dc-segmentation of interconnected power systems is a solution in which the topology of the n...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...

Energy harvesting systems such as self-powered wireless sensor nodes rely on a diverse set of energy sources in their continuously changing environment for power. A highly flexible power supply with multiple sources is needed to deal with large variation in environmental conditions. This paper describes an integrated power management system for use with multiple energy harvesters, which employs...
