Large number of different methods and techniques used for load forecasting have been developed in the past and new and improved methods are regularly being reported in research literature. This paper describes one of traditional load forecasting approaches based on autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modelling of load demand time-series (TS). However, it reconsiders each step in this process and proposes some new procedures to improve and clarify the whole method. Effectives of described approach is demonstrated using energy consumption measurements recently recorded at substations in central London area.","PeriodicalId":342041,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Circuits, System and Simulation (ICCSS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941851","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}

Incorporating voltage level converters can effectively reduce input drive voltage requirements and the overall energy needed to the power gate drivers. The on-chip transformer detailed in this study consists of a pair of on-chip inductors. Two types of the on-chip transformer structures are used: a stacked transformer (featuring higher coupling coefficient) and a tapped transformer (featuring higher voltage isolation). The on-chip transformer, full-bridge rectifier, gate driver, and voltage level converter were all produced using the TSMC 0.25-μm HV (high-voltage) CMOS process. Compared to the ündings of the previous study, simulations conducted in this study showed that the proposed monolithic isolated gate driver with a voltage level shifter required a 62% lower power input voltage and 34% less power consumption.

If a PIN diode current controlled attenuator (CCA) is needed in each channel, the individual CCAs should track in phase over the full control range. Variations in PIN diode complex impedance as well as component tolerances will cause phase tracking errors in a family of CCAs. A method to compare CCA topologies in terms of phase tracking performance is developed. By using sensitivity analysis and defining a single root sum square measure for comparing attenuator topologies, an optimum topology is identified for implementing an electronically controlled variable attenuator. The results clearly show that the cascade parallel quarter-wave attenuator topology will have the smallest phase tracking error within a family of CCAs.","PeriodicalId":342041,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Circuits, System and Simulation (ICCSS)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123837627","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}

The buck converter is operated in a dual mode, combining the switching frequency modulation (SFM) mode which uses the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) under light load, with the PWM mode for heavy load. To enhance power efficiency under light load a PTWS scheme is employed, in which the inductor current is detected using a zero current detector (ZCD) and then used to select the gate size of the power switching transistor. The proposed circuit was designed using a Magnachip 0.35μm CMOS process.

The amount of bias voltage could be optimised according to the photodiode required sensitivity and capacitance. The differential configuration makes the TIA immune to any common mode noise.
