Evaluation Methods and Accuracy in Probabilistic Load Flow Solutions

Abstract: This paper presents a new method for obtaining a probabilistic load flow solution using a discrete frequency domain convolution technique. It is shown that this method has greater accuracy while providing a breakthrough in computational speed. A detailed example compares the numerical results with a Monte Carlo simulation. The effects of nonlinearity in the network equations are discussed.

An Improved Min-Cut Algonthm for Partitioning VLSI Networks

Abstract: Recently, a fast (linear) heuristic for improving min-cut partitions of VLSI networks was suggested by Fiduccia and Mattheyses [6]. In this-paper we generalize their ideas and suggest a class of increasingly sophisticated heuristics. We then show, by exploiting the data structures originally suggested by them, that the computational complexity of any specific heuristic in the suggested class remains linear in the size of the network.

Geometric Modeling for Swept Volume of Moving Solids

Abstract: The modeling of swept volume is important in simulating the interference between a moving solid and its environment. This article presents a novel method for modeling swept voume by computing a family of critical curves from a moving solid. Based on this approach, a system has been developed for real-time verification of NC tool paths using computer graphics.

Opportunities and Challenges in Very High Frequency Power Conversion

Abstract: THIS paper explores opportunities and challenges in power conversion in the VHF frequency range of 30-300 MHz. The scaling of magnetic component size with frequency is investigated, and it is shown that substantial miniaturization is possible with increased frequencies even considering material and heat transfer limitations. Likewise, dramatic frequency increases are possible with existing and emerging semiconductor devices, but necessitate circuit designs that either compensate for or utilize device parasitics. We outline the characteristics of topologies and control methods that can meet the requirements of VHF power conversion, and present supporting examples from power converters operating at frequencies of up to 110 MHz.
