In this work, by applying the difference between two consecutive samples to the input of the conventional voltage-to-time converter, the requirements on the high-frequency ramp signal will be relaxed and we can design for low power consuming implementation. The proposed approach reduces the converter complexity and generates a 1-bit data stream which leads to more power saving. The proposed circuit was designed and simulated in the 180 nm CM OS technology process, achieving a resolution of 10.4 bit and consumes 163 nW power with a supply voltage of 0.8 V.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126738669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With using the presented analysis, it is possible to find the maximum range in which the system resolution is at its best value, according to the device specifications. The following equations are used to find the blind spot angles of the system for each source point inside the chamber. These are important for two reasons: the first is that the user can calculate the range in which the imaging system has the best quality by entering the specifications of his PACT system in the equations mentioned in this article. The second is that the user can, depending on his minimum expectations of a PACT system, use the presented equations to calculate the parameters required to design a PACT system.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124302601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only does THD affect the power quality but also increases the load sharing error which in turn could lead the MG to an unstable condition. In this way, the need for compensation algorithms that can overcome the barriers alongside this problem is felt more than ever. In this paper, a compensation algorithm that is inspired by active power filters performance for non-linear load based on the instantaneous power theory in $alphabeta$ frame is proposed to compensate the effects of non-linear loads on droop control and to prevent instability of islanded MGs. Further, an optimization procedure is proposed to find the optimal coefficients of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123688530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paradigm, fog computing is used as an essential capability to increase IoT processing power. Due to the expansion of these nodes from the edge of the network to the cloud, and their ability to process data near objects, the service time for objects and physical devices can be reduced. In addition, the collaboration between fog nodes can lead to the use of idle resources and further reduce response time. On the other hand, this collaboration could lead to an increase in energy costs in all fog nodes. Therefore, in this paper, an optimization problem is introduced with the aim of the collaboration in fog nodes along with the cloud to make the balance between the average response time and energy cost. Then, the proposed problem is solved using the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm. The evaluation results show that the proposed solution has been able to significant effects on reducing the response time and energy cost and obtain the optimal value.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121904405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, since torque is transmitted magnetically, there is no contact, so no wear occurs to any of the torque transferring components, providing for extremely long life.

Double-sided axial flux permanent magnet motors can be used in different applications such as electric cars, which have attracted so much attention in recent years. There are various structures of double-sided axial flux permanent magnet motors. One of the most recent structures is with two independent rotors that can be loaded separately. It is called two separate rotor axial flux permanent magnet motor. In this article, the loading study of two separate rotor axial flux permanent magnet motor is studied using the finite element method and in two ways. First, the load in one rotor is constant at rated value and the load in the other rotor is increased from no load to rated load, and then, the sum of load in the two rotors is constant. Results in this paper show that the proposed structure has improved load flexibility compared to conventional structures and by increasing the load difference in two rotors, THD of stator current and RF of the load torque is becoming better.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128264329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these systems, some communication is lost when the number of required subcarriers is greater than the number of available subcarriers. We compute the upper bound of the lost communication probability for downlink. In such a system, the position of receiving users is modeled by the Poisson point process. The number of subcarriers dedicated to each user depends on its Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), position and the shadowing, hence for calculating the number of subcarriers, it is needed to use stochastic geometry. Multigroup user system with each group of users having its own application and throughput requirement is considered. For having dimensioning in terms of subcarriers, we present concentration inequality for functions defined on the Poisson point processes to calculate the upper bound of loss probability. The performance of the upper bound in different ranae of user intensity is investiaated.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121143460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
