Effects of low radiation on the power quality of a distributed PV-grid connected system

We have previously investigated effects of radiation levels on power quality of a number PV-grid interactive systems in Thailand, in terms of harmonics and voltage variation at the point of common coupling (PCC). In this paper, we focus on the nature of components of complex power (actual, reactive and apparent power) of inverter output of a PV-grid interactive system due to low radiation, below 400 W/m². The system being investigated has an array of 4.2 kWp and representative of roof top units. It is observed that a PV array supplies increasing real power, in magnitude and as percentage of complex power, at high values of radiation. At low radiation level when the array does not provide enough output power, reactive power is drawn from distribution transformer and fed into an inverter and loads. Based on results from the test site and long term radiation data of Bangkok, we then estimate energy available from low radiation from a hypothetical PV-grid interactive unit in Bangkok of a similar size. It can be seen that for a tropical climate like Thailand a significant amount of energy, 20–30% of radiation energy, is in the form of reactive power. Methods must be devised to capture this low radiation energy and converted into real power form.     

The Minimum PAPR Code for OFDM Systems

In this letter, a block code that minimizes the peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is proposed. It is shown that peak envelope power is invariant to cyclic shift and codeword inversion. The systematic encoding rule for the proposed code is composed of searching for a seed codeword, shifting the register elements, and determining codeword inversion. This eliminates the look‐up table for one‐to‐one correspondence between the source and the coded data. Computer simulation confirms that OFDM systems with the proposed code always have the minimum PAPR.     

Carbon nanofibers as hydrogen adsorbing materials for power sources

Porous carbon nanofibers are synthesized by CVD method from acetylene with use of iron-containing catalysts. Activation of the nanofibers in melted potassium hydroxide results in increasing surface area from initial 300–400 m² g⁻¹ to 1700 m² g⁻¹. As follows from XRD data, activated nanofibers do not contain regular packages of graphene layers, but retain high electric conductivity. Deposition of copper improves electrochemical hydrogen storing characteristics of carbon nanofibers. Carbon nanomaterials obtained can be used as hydrogen storing materials in batteries instead of hydride forming metals.     

SOC设计中的浮动压焊块电源/地线网络设计和优化

随着VLSI工艺技术的发展和芯片规模的不断增加，尤其是在SOC设计中，原有的那种供电压焊块只能位于芯片边缘的确定益的模式已经不能够满足整个电路性能的需要。在很多情况下，依靠在电源线的拓扑结构确定后的线宽优化，还是无法保证在有限的布线资源下为电路提供可靠的高性能的供电需求。由此，出现了在芯片边缘上浮动放置压焊块及在芯片的顶部放置供电压焊块阵列的方法。文中提出了一种用于SOC设计中新的基于树型结构的浮动压焊块的电源／地线网络优化算法，经过MCNC电路实例测试后得到明显的优化结果。
