The RCF analysis method is used to analyze small signal stability of power systems including GTO controlled FACTS equipment such as STATCOM. To apply the RCF analysis method in power system small signal stability problems, the state transition equations of power system equipments and power systems with STATCOM are presented. In eigenvalue analysis of power systems by the RCF analysis method, the STATCOM is modelled into the equivalents voltage source model and the PWM switching circuit model. As a result of simulation, the RCF analysis method is very powerful to calculate the oscillation modes exactly after the switching operations, and useful to analyze the small signal stability of power systems with periodically operated switching device such as the STATCOM.

Deregulations and market practices in power industry have brought great challenges to the system planning area. In particular, they introduce a variety of uncertainties to system planning. New techniques are required to cope with such uncertainties. As a promising approach, probabilistic methods are attracting more and more attentions by system planners. In small signal stability analysis, generation control parameters play an important role in determining the stability margin. The objective of this paper is to investigate power system state matrix sensitivity characteristics with respect to system parameter uncertainties with analytical and numerical approaches and to identify those parameters have great impact on system eigenvalues, therefore, the system stability properties. Those identified parameter variations need to be investigated with priority. The results can be used to help Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) perform planning studies under the open access environment.

This paper describes a new contingency analysis methods for small signal security assessment based on the eigenvalue perturbation. The eigenvalue perturbation with respect to MW changes can be used to find possible sources of the low frequency oscillation, and to select contingency for small signal stability. The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested on the KEPCO systems.

The solar array regulator for low earth orbit satellites controls a operating point of solar array for suppling electric power to the battery and the other units. Because the control object is reversed, the new approach for large and small signal analysis is needed despite using buck-converter for power stage. In this paper, the steady state analysis of solar array regulator is performed in continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode, and the border condition for each mode is established. Also, the small signal model of solar array regulator is established in discontinuous conduction mode. Experiments are carried on in worst condition which the solar array regulator can face with discontinuous conduction mode. The results show that the solar array regulator is in stable.

A program was developed to analyze the electrical characteristics and harmonic distrotion in a two-dimensional silicon BJT. The finite difference equations of the small signal and its second and thired harmonics for basic semiconductor equations are formulated treating the nonlinearity and time dependence with Volterra series and Taylor series. The soluations for three sets of simultaneous equations were obtained sequantially by a decoupled iteration method and each set was solved by a modified Stone's algorithm. Distortion magins and ac parameters such as input impedance and current gains are calculated with frequency and load resistance as parameters. The distortion margin vs. load resistancecurves show cancellation minima when the pahse of output voltage shifts. It is shown that the distortionof small signal characteristics can be reduced by reducing the base width, increasing the emitter stripe length and reducing the collector epitaxial layer doping concentration in the silicon BJT structure. The simulation program called TRADAP can be used for the design and optimization of transistors and circuits as well as for the calculation of small signal and distortion solutions.

We report the experimental resutls on AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with carbon-doped base structure. To characterize the output power, load-pull mehtod was employed. By characterizing the devices with HP8510C, we extracted the small-signal equivalent circuit. The HBTs were fabricated employing wet mesa etching and lift-off process of ohmic metals. the implementation of polyimide into the fabriction process was accomplished to obtain the lower dielectric constant resultig in significant reduction of interconnect routing capacitance. The fabricated HBTs with an emitter area of 6${\times}14{\mu}m^{2}$ exhibited current gain of 45, BV$_{CEO}$ of 10V, cut-off frequency of 30GHz and power gain of 1 3dBm. To extract the small signal equivalent circuit, the de-embedded method was applied for parasitic parameters and the calculation of circuit equations for intrinsic parameters.

This paper presents generalized small-signal models for complementary driven double-ended isolated converters. The proposed small-signal models include the effect of the parasitic resistances, which have dominant influence on the damping of the secondary Power stage double-pole. To confirm the validity of the new models, an asymmetrical half-bridge converter with confer-taped rectifier and a forward-flyback converter with current doubler rectifier were built, and their performance were compared with the theoretical prediction.

Dynamic analysis and compensation design for an asymmetrical half bridge do-dc converter are presented. A small-signal model is developed using the averaging method. Based on the proposed small-signal average model, the open loop transfer functions of the power stage were obtained and used for the compensation design. All theoretical predictions are validated by experiments on a prototype converter.

In this paper, A Digital Voltage Mode Controller is designed for the Photovoltaic power converter applications. The designed Digital Voltage Mode Controller is derived analytically from the continuous time small signal model of the boost converter. Due to the small signal model based derivations of the control law, the designed control method can be applicable to K-factor Approach method and bilinear transformation. In order to show the usefulness of a designed controller, and the simulation results are verified.
