This paper presents the design and simulation of a power and area efficient interpolation FIR filter with partitioned look up table (LUT) structure. Using the symmetry of the filters coefficients and the contents of the LUT, the area of the proposed filter is minimized. The two filters share the partitioned LUT and activate the LUT selectively to realize the low power operation. The proposed filter has been designed in a 5.0 Volts 0.6${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Power consumption results have been obtained from Powermill simulations. Experimental results suggest that the proposed filter reduces both the power consumption by 28% and simultaneously the gate area by 5% simultaneously compared to the previously proposed filters.

This paper proposes an efficient kernel-based partitioning algorithm for reducing area and power dissipation in combinational circuit design.. The proposed algorithm decreases the power consumption by partitioning a given circuit utilizing a kernel, and reduces the area overhead by minimizing duplicated gates in the partitioned subcircuits. Experimental results for the MCNC benchmarks show that the proposed algorithm is effective by generating circuits consuming 43.6% less power with 30.7% less area on the average, when compared to the previous algorithm based on precomputation circuit structure.

Energy storage devices are necessary to obtain stable utilization of renewable energy sources. When black-out occurs, distributed renewable power sources with energy storage devices can operate under standalone mode as uninterruptable power supply. This paper proposes a dynamic response analysis with small-signal modeling for the standalone operation of a photovoltaic power generation system that includes a bidirectional charger/discharger with a battery. Furthermore, it proposes a DC-link voltage controller design of the entire power conditioning system, using the storage current under standalone operation. The purpose of this controller is to guarantee the stable operation of the renewable source and the storage subsystem, with the power conversion of a very efficient bypass-type PCS. This paper presents the operating principle and design guidelines of the proposed scheme, along with performance analysis and simulation. Finally, a hardware prototype of 1-kW power conditioning system with an energy storage device is implemented, for experimental verification of the proposed converter system.

In this paper, a dc-dc power converter scheme with the FPGA based technology is proposed to apply for solar power system which has many features such as the good waveform, high efficiency, low switching losses, and low acoustic noises. The circuit configuration is designed by the conventional control type converter circuit using the isolated dc power supply. This new scheme can be more widely used for industrial power conversion system and many other purposes. Also, I proposed an efficient photovoltaic power interface circuit incorporated with a FPGA based DC-DC converter and a sine-pwm control method full-bridge inverter. The FPGA based DC-DC converter operates at high switching frequency to make the output current a sine wave, whereas the full-bridge inverter operates at low switching frequency which is determined by the ac frequency. As a result, we can get a 1.72% low THD in present state using linear control method. Moreover, we can use stepping control method, we can obtain the switching losses by Sp measured as 0.53W. This paper presents the design of a single-phase photovoltaic inverter model and the simulation of its performance.

Recently, the demand for the low cost power conversion equipment is rapidly increased. To develop this three phase voltage source inverter, optimum power conversion equipment to system is designed.

This paper presents a two-stage power-efficient class-AB operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based on an adaptive biasing circuit suited to low-power dissipation and low-voltage operation. The OTA shows significant improvements in driving capability and power dissipation owing to the novel adaptive biasing circuit. The OTA dissipates only $0.4{\mu}W$ from a supply voltage of ${\pm}0.6V$ and exhibits excellent high driving, which results in a slew rate improvement of more than 250 times that of the conventional class-AB amplifier. The design is fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

In this paper, we present an intermediate representation CDFG(Control Data Flow Graph) and an efficient scheduling technique for low power circuit design. The proposed CDFG represents control flow, data dependency and such constraints as resource constraints and timing constraints. In the scheduling technique, the constraints are substituted by subgraphs, and then the number of subgraphs is minimized by using the inclusion and overlap relation efficiently. Also, iterative rescheduling process are performed in a minimum bound estimation, starting with the as soon as possible as scheduling result, so as to reduce the power consumption in low power design. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been proven by the experiment with the benchmark examples.

In this paper, a systematical controller design method for a twostage grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning system is proposed. For a pre-stage boost converter to achieve the stable operation in the entire region of solar array, the digital resistive current mode controller is used. This algorithm is very simple to implement with a digital controller and there is no power stage parameter dependency in the controller design. For a post-stage single-phase full-bridge inverter, a PI controller with a feedforward compensation for the inner current control is employed. Furthermore, in case that the operating point of the solar array under varying environmental conditions is higher than the required voltage for the inverter current control, the bypass mode for the boost converter is possible for the more efficient operation. The proposed control scheme is validated through the experiment of the prototype two-stage power conditioning system hardware with a 200W solar array.

Energy scavenging is a technique that converts ambient energy, for example, vibration and light, to electrical energy in order to supply power to low power electronic devices such as ubiquitous sensors. In this paper, we propose an optimal operation condition of power delivery circuit and design strategy for energy scavenging system in which the generated power is order of microwatt and, consequently, efficient handling of power is critical. We also propose that high data transmission rate is more realistic optimal design objective rather than high energy efficiency. It is shown that disconnection of load from the storage capacitor right after data transmission reduces energy wasting and that optimal value of storage capacitor can be determined at this condition. The feasibility of our propose is proved by experiments and we believe that the proposed design strategy will promote the application of piezoelectric micropower generator to the ubiquitous sensor networks.

If proper design and selection of the working fluid are made the power generation system of temperature difference could achieve more efficient results than others. This paper is to analysis the production of its power generation due to several parameters. Making the power generation system, the characteristics of power output are investigated to obtain its basic data for design. This results of this experiment are as follows. 1. The most proper working fluid in the system is Freon-22 having high stability and difference between the outlet pressure, $P_E$ of evaporator and outlet pressure, $P_c$ of Condenser. 2. With the increase of temperature difference between evaporator and condenser, the output in the system increases linearly. 3. The generation efficiency is largely dependent on the type or form of propeller, nozzle and optimum design of heat exchanger.
