The proposed method is simple and performs the multiparameter symbolic sensitivity analysis of a synthesized network with respect to various circuit parameters. A special software tool called “HoneySen” has been developed to implement the suggested method. All partial transfer functions and partial sensitivities can be determined, too. Symbolic results for the multiparameter sensitivity of the voltage transfer function for a fourth-order low pass filter is presented. Comparison of the presented method with the Transimpedance method is performed.","PeriodicalId":343071,"journal":{"name":"2012 ELEKTRO","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115007005","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 order to diversify risk, a concept of Virtual power plant (VPP) has been developed. The VPP is composed of several RES, from which at least one of them is fully controllable. Because the production of noncontrollable RES cannot be perfectly forecasted, therefore an optimal dispatch schedule within VPP is needed. To address this problem, an Accelerated particle swarm optimization is used to solve the constrained optimal dispatch problem within VPP. The experimental results show that the proposed optimization method provides high quality solutions while meeting constraints.","PeriodicalId":343071,"journal":{"name":"2012 ELEKTRO","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125327326","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}

Various types have been investigated, including diode Schottky rectifier, synchronous MOSFET rectifier together with additional auxiliary and snubber circuits and its combinations. Each solution has been experimentally verified for various and most probable operating conditions of proposed converter, whereby results have been consequently compared.

The investigation is based on solving the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) through Split-Step Fourier Method (SSFM). The using of high-order modulation format is one of the key solutions for future optical networks and systems.
