The Impact

Wind power plants are an increasingly common source of electricity located in rural areas. As a result of the high variability of wind power, and thus the generated power, these sources should be classified as unstable sources. In this paper, the authors attempted to determine the impact of wind turbine operation on the parameters of electricity supplied to farms located near the source. As a result of the conducted field tests, variability courses of the basic parameters describing the supply voltage were obtained. The influence of power plant variability on the values of voltage, frequency, and voltage distortion factor was determined. To estimate the capacity of the transmission lines, the reactive power produced in the power plant and its effect on the value of the power factor were determined. The conducted research and analysis showed that the wind power plant significantly influences voltage fluctuations in its immediate vicinity (the maximum value registered was close to 2%, while the value required by law was 2.5%). Although all the recorded values are within limits specified by the current regulations (e.g., the THD value is four times lower than the required value), wind turbines may cause incorrect operation of loads connected nearby. This applies mainly to cases where consumers sensitive to voltage fluctuations are installed in the direct vicinity of the power plant.

Sheet Metal Cutting

The method of cutting motor core sheets causes a change in their magnetic properties and core losses, especially additional losses. Reducing motor losses is very important because of the fulfillment of increasingly stringent requirements set by international regulations for reducing electricity consumption. Due to fact that more and more often induction motors are supplied with high-frequency voltage, core losses are beginning to play a dominant role in the motor’s loss balance. That is why accurate determination of these losses is very important and cutting has a significant impact on them. This report shows how the method of cutting sheet metal affects losses in the finished induction motor working in a wide frequency range. The paper presents the impact of various motor core fabrication technologies on its operational parameters and an approximate way of including this impact in analytical calculations at the design stage of new machine designs, as it is necessary to use sheet metal cutting technologies such as laser or electrical discharge machining (EDM) at the prototype stage. The proposed method is based on measurements of sheet parameters made on toroidal samples with appropriately selected dimensions, so that the width of the sample corresponds to the average width of the motor core elements.

The Impact

This work presents an investigation of the temperature behavior of self-cascode composite transistors (SCCTs). Results supported by silicon measurements show that SCCTs can be used to generate a proportional to absolute temperature voltage or even a temperature-compensated voltage. Based on the achieved results, a new circuit topology of a resistorless voltage reference circuit using a Schottky diode is also presented. The circuit was fabricated in a 130 nm BiCMOS process and occupied a silicon area of 67.98 µm × 161.7 µm. The averaged value of the output voltage is 720.4 mV, and its averaged line regulation performance is 2.3 mV/V, calculated through 26 characterized chip samples. The averaged temperature coefficient (TC) obtained through five chip samples is 56 ppm/°C in a temperature range from −40 to 85°C. A trimming circuit is also included in the circuit topology to mitigate the impact of the fabrication process effects on its TC. The circuit operates with a supply voltage range from 1.1 to 2.5 V.

The Impact

This paper proposes topological enhancements to increase voltage gain of ultra-low-voltage (ULV) inverter-based OTAs. The two proposed improvements rely on adoption of composite transistors and forward-body-biasing. The impact of the proposed techniques on performance figures is demonstrated through simulations of two OTAs. The first OTA achieves a 39 dB voltage gain, with a power consumption of 600 pW and an active area of 447 μm2. The latter allies the forward-body-bias approach with the benefit of the independently biased composite transistors. By combining both solutions, voltage gain is raised to 51 dB, consuming less power (500 pW) at the cost of an increased area of 727 μm2. The validation has been performed through post-layout simulations with the Cadence Analog Design Environment and the TSMC 180 nm design kit, with the supply voltage ranging from 0.3 V to 0.6 V.
