摘要：Today, designers are forced to reduce performance and increase power requirements in order to reserve larger margins that are required due to the greater variability introduced by smaller feature sizes and manufacturing variations of modern IC designs. The better-than-worst-case design can both address the variability problem and achieve higher performance/energy efficiency than the worst-case design. This paper surveys the progress to date, provides a snapshot of the most representative methods in this field, and discusses the future research directions of the better-than-worst-case design.

摘要：Eighteen clones of Eucalyptus tereticornis （Sm.） were evaluated for three years by adopting randomized block design for various growth parameters at Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India and compared with two checks. Significant variations were recorded for height, diameter at breast height （DBH） and clear bole height （CBH）. The broad sense heritability was low to moderate for both height and CBH. The genetic gain for height and CBH increased substantially pe se with the increase in age of trees. The average genetic gain for thres years was recorded maximum for height （159.60%） followed by DBH （110.97%） and CBH （70.34%）. Clone 17 attained maximum DBH over other genotypes for second and third year followed by clones 14 and 11. Clone 5 showed an upward trend for DBH and maintained its superiority for CBH as the age of the tree increased. Similarly, clone 11 changed its ranking from 9th to 8th to 3rd for DBH and from 9th to 4th to 2nd for CBH, respectively for the age of one, two and three years. Nonetheless, clones 6 and 10 per- formed poorly for all the characters studied. Clones 17, 14 and 5 were found to be the most promising clones for commercial deployment.

摘要：An IMC-PID controller was proposed for unstable second-order time delay system which shows the characteristics of inverse response(RHP zero). A plot of Ms versus λ was suggested to calculate the suitable tuning parameter λ, which provides a trade-off between performance and robustness. Six different forms of process models were selected from literature to show the applicability of the present method. Performance of controller was calculated by ITAE and total variation TV and compared with recently published tuning rules. Undesirable overshoot was removed by using a set-point weighting parameter. Robustness was tested by introducing a perturbation into the various model parameters and closed-loop results show that the designed controller is robust in the case of model uncertainty. The proposed method shows an overall better closed-loop response as compared to other recently reported methods.

摘要：可再生能源发电因其间歇性而具有多变性,对发展中国家来说,可再生能源发电的成本很高。由于电价定价和机制设计不合理,上网电价和净计量等支持性政策和方案对消费者也没有太大吸引力。屋顶太阳能光伏系统自用技术可以避免这些方案的缺点,因为这种技术比公用电网的发电成本更低。因此,产消者可以以最低价格使用大部分电力,更具吸引力。本文分析了并网工业太阳能光伏发电系统的成本和可行性。结果发现,基于储能并网的光伏系统成本为0.0086$/(kW·h),公用电网将以0.062$/(kW·h)的价格出售给产消者,与使用时间评级模型相比,年能源成本将降低35.23%。此外,所提出的方案可满足96%的年能源需求,保证了供应的安全性,所提出的模型可用于其他发展中国家。
