In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we examined FET voltage controlled resistors, basic voltage controlled resistor circuits, and a balanced or push pull voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuit.

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

The LP2951 voltage regulator is commonly used in applications requiring a preset output voltage, which can easily be configured using two resistors. The device provides low dropout regulation over a ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...

The 2025 International Solid State Circuits Conference was held in San Francisco from February 16 th to 20 th. IBM presented three papers [1,2,3] based on their Samsung 5nm Tellum II chip. These are ...
