Voltage stability of a power system is the ability of the same to maintain a steady voltage at all the system buses even after the system is subjected to some disturbance. This steady voltage is compared from some initial system state when there was no disturbance in the system. By far shunt capacitors were found to be the simplest and most economical method for correcting the distribution system voltage. But they do suffer from certain limitations which are inherent, as far as voltage stability is concerned. The paper studies the voltage stability of a distribution system and proposes placement of DG units with sufficient capacity and at suitable sites so as to improve the voltage stability of the distribution system. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

In recent time, third generation solar cells have been developed and become very popular as DYE sensitized solar cells (DSSC). These carbons based DSSC are eco-friendly, having less carbon credit and low in manufacturing cost as compare to second generation thin film solar cells. Overall performance of grid connected PV based electrical systems are affected by the selection of the solar cells and modules. In this work, carbon-based DYE sensitized solar cells have been used for the grid connected PV systems. Here, performance of DSSC based grid connected system is presented in result section. DC link voltage and bidirectional power flow have been shown here to validate the performance of grid connected solar PV system. Simulation work has been done on MATLAB software and different results have been shown in graphical form. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Interdigitated photomixing antennas (PMA), are amongst the most common sources for future terahertz wireless communication systems. In this contribution, a novel and interesting design of a PMA employing graphene as its electrode material has been proposed. The use of graphene provides several potential advantages over conventional metallic electrodes. Variation of the PMA output as a function of various parameters have been discussed and a novel scheme for producing modulation in the PMA output, using an additional signal source, has been introduced. The multiphysical scenario in the functioning of the PMA has been elegantly analyzed with a generalized and simple model. Expressions for the radiated fields from the antenna have been derived using the proposed model and have been validated with full-wave simulations. This paper introduces a procedure for simulating the antenna on commercial EM solvers. Several strategies to modulate the output of antennae, which is crucial for them to be suitable for wireless communications, have also been proposed and discussed with several key findings. The role of some of the antenna parameters have also been investigated. The uniqueness of this analysis lies in its simplicity and generalization along with its capability to combine the multi-physical scenario in the operation of the PMA. © 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Novel graphene based antennas for the terahertz region

Radiation from a Terahertz Photomixing Antenna (PMA) involves multi-physical phenomena. We introduce a simple analytical model that combines the multi-physical phenomena in the PMA using a conventional 2-ray model. We observe reasonably close agreement between the antenna output obtained from the proposed model and the available measured results. We extend our analytical framework to incorporate the presence of an additional signal source on one of the laser beams, intended towards producing modulation in the PMA output signal. We analytically investigate the active region current density and radiated fields of the PMA. We also present a brief discussion on the efficiency of the PMA and the different factors that impact the efficiency. The output power depends on some key parameters which can be utilized to make PMAs suitable for sensing as well as wireless communication applications. © 2019, © 2019 IETE.

Analytical Modelling of Terahertz Photomixing Antennas

MassiveMIMO(MaMI) is one of the fiery topics in 5G wireless communications. It is introduced based on the fact that the channel vectors becomes asymptotically orthogonal (as antenna elements tending to infinity). Convergence of frequency selective channel (quasi static block fading) characteristics in terms of favorable propagation and channel hardening (asymptotically orthogonal) conditions are studied using metrics like Eigenvalue Ratio (EVR), Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and Diagonal Dominance (DD). Finally, simulations results for convergence metrics EVR, MAD and DD are compared with its limiting behavior. The effect of time delay spread on the channel convergence is studied based on the condition number of channel matrix. © 2019 IEEE.

In this study, a new modulation method defined as Ramanujan periodic subspace division multiplexing (RPSDM) is proposed using Ramanujan subspaces. Each subspace contains an integer-valued Ramanujan sum and its circular downshifts as a basis. The proposed RPSDM decomposes the linear time-invariant wireless channels into a Toeplitz stair block diagonal matrices, whereas orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) decompose the same into diagonal. Advantages of such structured subspaces representation are studied and compared with an OFDM representation in terms of a peak-average power ratio and bit error rate. Zero-forcing and minimum mean square error detectors are applied to evaluate the performance of OFDM and RPSDM techniques. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed design (with an additional receiver complexity) outperforms OFDM under both detectors. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2019

Using, the accurate boundary conditions along all the sides of the planar TWT and along the winding direction of the TWT using indicator function, the exact solution of a homogenous boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations is derived. A total number of six different complex constants are derived from a set of six boundary conditions for the proposed cold wave analysis.
