This paper provides experimental and simulation tools to characterize a Photo-Voltaic (PV) panel. To achieve this objective, we start from a PV electrical model and we propose a circuit using Diode-based-equivalent PV (DBEPV) panel. This circuit is presented as a prototype of an equivalent PV panel. It is designed to emulate a real PV module in different climatic conditions (irradiance and temp...

This work presents a circuit model for calculating the total energy dissipated into neutral species for nanosecond pulsed direct current (DC) dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas. Based on experimental observations, it is assumed that the nanosecond pulsed DBD’s which have been proposed for aerodynamic flow control can be approximated by two independent regions of homogeneous electric fie...

A new current mode precision rectifier is presented. This circuit provides precision rectification for wide range of input signal with low temperature sensitivity. It can work as full wave rectifier as well as half wave rectifier with controllability on action. It can amplify rectified current signal by a bias voltage. Direction of the output current signal can also be controlled by changing th...

Nowadays renewable micro-energy harvesting system is becoming attractive, because this energy is free which leads to reduce energy cost. Piezoelectric is one of the common energy harvesting systems. Generally, the output of a piezoelectric transducer is a small AC voltage and its power is also small. As a result, the convertion of this low AC voltage into DC voltage by using rectifier diode is ...

Abstract—In this paper, a new design of adiabatic circuit, called energy efficient adiabatic logic (EEAL) is proposed. Earlier various diode based adiabatic logic families have been proposed. To achieve minimum energy consumption, this paper proposes a technique in which diode is replaced by MOS transistor at charging and discharging path whose gate is controlled by the power clocks. By using t...
