In this paper, a novel digital soft-start control method which employs a reference modification with a neural network predictor is presented to improve the transient characteristics in parallel operated dc-dc converters. To reduce the power consumption in parallel operated dc-dc converters, the mode of them is changed frequently from stand-by mode to operating mode, or vice versa. In the transient...
This paper proposes a high frequency switching active clamp flyback converter which can reduce the height of the transformer and the size of the power supply. This is accomplished by applying an adequate resonance voltage lower than the absolute maximum rating of the drain to source breakdown voltage of the switching device. By using this approach we succeeded in reducing the height of the transformer...
In recent years, storage batteries have been introduced to suppress fluctuations in the output power of renewable energy sources. The lifetime of batteries used in these systems varies based on the operational methods used. In this study, we investigated the effects of introducing a flywheel into a microgrid comprising photovoltaic equipment, batteries, and a load. The flywheel reduced the maximum...
This paper presents a soft-switching modular three-phase ac voltage regulator which can solve the abnormal voltage problems such as under-voltage, over-voltage, voltage sag and voltage swell. The proposed scheme is the combination of three single-phase modules while each one of the single-phase module is a serial compensation ac voltage regulator. Besides, each one of the single-phase module is composed...
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a current prediction algorithm for sensorless model control dc-dc converter. In the proposed method, the sensing resistor for the current detection is eliminated by predicting the output current. The output current is predicted from the equation of the relationship between the output and input voltage in the static state using the duty ratio and the output voltage...

Through previous analyses solar cells and electromagnetic generator were found to be the most suitable solution...
Simulations of annual reduction in power consumption based on tests of the energy-saving effect of introducing the air-side economizer (direct outside air cooling) to data centers in Japan are reported. Effects of environmental factors on energy saving are compared for air-side economizer and conventional systems that use air conditioners for cooling. When the air-side economizer is used, weather...

Modular UPSs have more than ten years of history, and have been widely used in large data centers thanks to their features of high availability, high scalability, easy maintenance, high efficiency, and many other advantages. The reliability of a modular UPS primarily depends on the system architecture design which should be simple and decoupled to avoid single points of failure. Key parts such as...
Reducing the power consumed by base stations is an urgent requirement. Our research shows that it is possible to reduce electricity consumption, especially peak loads, by predicting the power demands of base stations.

For over a century, since the invention of the telephone, the telephone network has relied on DC Power and has used DC battery reserve to provide “continuous dial tone”, even during commercial power outages. The debate between proponents of George Westinghouse's AC and Thomas Edison's DC commercial power distribution schemes has raged just about as long as the telephone has existed. The debate over...
