The project focuses on the design and simulation of a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) for an all-digital phase-locked loop in a 180nm CMOS process. A ring oscillator with cross-coupled inverter-based delay cells was employed to reduce jitter. Th . . .

Cost optimization and loss reduction have always been the central attention points for utilities and power system operators. Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is one of the methods, proven to reduce energy loss by reducing voltage at the main feede . . .

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is widely used on many integrated circuits to provide an accurate and stable clock. A PLL uses negative feedback around an on-chip oscillator that the feedback loop constantly adjusts to match the phase and frequency of an in . . .

Project focus is on the integration of typical control strategies of converters in the hybrid AC/DC power flow process. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and Line Commutated Converter (LCC) technologies resemble different characteristics and control stra . . .

Electricity is an essential component of a human life. Electricity is generated from various sources. In California, natural gas plants, renewables, nuclear plants, and large hydro make up the in-state generation. Each resource is unique and has their . . .

The project focuses on the relay protection of two power transformers, a 30MVA and a 40MVA respectively. Specifically, the project focuses on the design and the application of the 51, 50, 50G and 87 protection schemes for the two power transformers. T . . .

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is a widely-used mixed-signal circuit that is used to create the precise clocks required on almost every integrated circuit. A PLL uses negative feedback to control an on-chip oscillator so that its frequency equals a multipl . . .

One method to build an intelligent traffic control system is based on the estimation of traffic density using real-time video and image processing techniques. The idea is to control the traffic by determining the density on each side of the road and c . . .

Microwave and Radio Frequency (RF) hyperthermia is an FDA approved treatment in cancer treatment, usually used as an adjuvant to boost the effects of traditional radiation or chemotherapy. Many devices, including the Mettler Autotherm 300, have been d . . .

In recent years, with the depletion of fossil fuels and the deterioration of the environment, in order to meet the demand for energy, the reform of traditional energy structure is imperative. Therefore, renewable energy such as wind energy and solar e . . .
