The proposed controller is modular, flexible, intelligent, inexpensive, portable, adaptive and designed to positively contribute in low voltage microgrids in which the lines R/X ratio is greater than the transmission lines. Therefore, the proposed control strategy is developed for operation in distribution lines. The controller strategy is different from the conventional grid-connected inverters which are designed based on transmission line characteristics. This controller, using a Texas Instrument general purpose DSP (digital signal processor), is programmed and tuned using MATLAB/SIMULINK in order to enhance self-healing, reliability and stability of the grid. This general purpose controller makes proper decisions using its local measurements as the primary source of data. The controller has the capability of communicating with the adjacent controllers and sharing the information if/when needed. The power flow output of the inverter is tested for both islanded and grid-connected modes of operation. The inverter positively contributes to active and reactive power supply while operating in grid-connected mode. The proposed control method has been implemented on a Texas Instrument DSC (digital signal controller) chip and tested on a hardware test bench at the Alternative Energy Laboratory at WVU1T (West Virginia University Institute of Technology). The system's experimental results veri~ the validity and efficiency of the proposed controller.展开更多

In this paper, an experience of optimizing the power consumption of the 16-bit datapath in a 32-bit reconfigurable pipelined Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is introduced. By keeping the old input values and preventing the useless switching of the logic blocks on the datapath, the power consumption is much lowered. At the same time, by relocating some logic blocks between different pipeline stages and employing some data forward logics, a better balanced pipeline is achieved to lower the power consumption for conditional computation instructions at very low timing and area costs. The effectivity of these power optimization technologies are proved by the experimental results. Finally, some ideas about how to reduce the power consumption of circuits are proposed, which are very effective and useful in practice designs, especially in pipelined ones.展开更多

To improve deterministic clock gating and to solve the drawback of conventional clock gating circuit in high speed circuit, a distributed and early clock gating method was developed on its instruction fetch & decoder unit, its pipelined data-path unit and its super-Harvard memory interface unit. The core was implemented following the Synopsys back-end flow under TSMC (Taiwan Silicon manufacture corporation) 0.18-μm 1.8-V 1P6M process, with a core size of 2 mm×2 mm. Result shows that it can run under 200 MHz with a power performance around 0.3 mW/MIPS. Meanwhile, only 39.7% circuit is active simultaneously in average, compared to its non-gating counterparts.展开更多

Multi-level low power strategies including algorithm optimization, operand isolation, clock gating and memory partitioning are adopted in the processor design to reduce the power consumption. Experimental results show that the complexity of the Continuous Interleaved Sampling (CIS) algorithm is reduced by more than 80 % and the power dissipation of the hardware alone is reduced by about 25% with the low power methods. The THUCIDSP-1 prototype, fabricated in 0.18-μm standard CMOS process, consumes only 1.91 mW when executing the CIS algorithm at 3 MHz.展开更多

If test patterns from accumulators for the modules are encoded in the pseudo Gray code presentation, the switching activities of the modules are reduced, and the decrease of the test power consumption is resulted in. Results of experimentation based on FPGA show that the test approach can reduce dynamic power consumption by an average of 17.40% for 8-bit ripple carry adder consisting of 3-2 counters. Then implementation of the low power test in hardware is exploited. Because of the reuse of adders, introduction of additional XOR logic gates is avoided successfully. The design minimizes additional hardware overhead for test and needs no adjustment of circuit structure. The low power test can detect any combinational stuck-at fault within the basic building block without any degradation of original circuit performance.展开更多
