The silicon solar photovoltaic (PV) cells produce energy of few milli-watts $( sim15$ mW/cm2), which can drive sensors, low-power microcontrollers and RF transmitters for a complete self-powered wireless embedded system. In this paper, we present open research issues, possible solutions, recent technologies & present state of the art of EH-IoT. We divide the research issues into four broad areas of research in EH-IoT, i.e. sensing, computations, communications, and energy harvesting. The biggest challenge in EH-IoT is designing of suitable energy harvester circuits, dynamic power management and development of energy-efficient communication protocols.

The DPC control enables it to have an enhanced dynamic response with improved dc-link voltage stability while controlling the power flow. The output voltage is controlled by the amount of power flow while the power flow depends on the phase shift ratio between primary and secondary bridge. With the DPC control presented here, the control reference is calculated from output voltage and load current, and subsequently phase shift ratio is computed, thereby controlling the power flow. The fast control over the amount power flow provides an overall enhanced performance with improved reference voltage tracking as well as robustness against input voltage fluctuation and load variation.

One of the main applications of feeder automation is automatic fault management (AFM). AFM function comprises sequential steps of fault detection, isolation and service restoration (FDISR) following a contingency in distribution networks. The allocation of automated protective devices such as circuit breakers, reclosers, remote-controlled switches, fault indicators speeds up the FDISR process. A high level of reliability is ensured by utilizing an appropriate combination of these devices but this is limited by cost constraints. Aiming to achieve an optimum reliability level, this paper presents an analytical model that incorporates protective devices, viz. reclosers (${R}$) and remote-controlled switches (RCS) at optimal positions of a radial distribution system. Cost worth analysis is utilized to develop the proposed model. Moreover, in the competitive restructuring and deregulated environment, the main aim of the utilities is to maximize their profit. The objective of the proposed model is developed from the utilities’ perspective, utilizing the profit-based optimization approach. The proposed model is tested on a 58-bus test system employing the mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) optimization technique. Reliability indices have also been measured to explore the level of reliability enhancement achieved by automation. The simulation results have verified the practicality and relevance of the proposed approach in maximizing profit as well as in raising the reliability level.","PeriodicalId":6761,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Power Electronics, Control and Automation (ICPECA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78769587","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}

It is popularly used because of it’s controllable nature. This controllable nature allows the device to work either as n-type or p-type device. In this work, MOS based universal gates (i.e NOR and NAND gate) and ambipolar CNTFET based universal gates have been designed in a novel way. The circuits based on ambipolar CNTFET have been designed using transmission gate method. The circuit designing of MOS based universal gates require four transistors whereas ambipolar CNTFET based transistors require two transistors. The working of both the devices is verified by carrying out the simulation for both of them. The simulation results show that both waveforms are similar to each other. Thus, more number of functions can be performed by using CNTFET based logic gates thereby increasing overall system performance. All the circuit designing and simulation is carried out on HSPICE.
