    Harnessing high altitude solar power

    No full text
    As an intermediate solution between Glaser's satellite solar power (SSP) and ground-based photovoltaic (PV) panels, this paper examines the collection of solar energy using a high-altitude aerostatic platform. A procedure to calculate the irradiance in the medium/high troposphere, based on experimental data, is described. The results show that here a PV system could collect about four to six times the energy collected by a typical U.K.-based ground installation, and between one-third and half of the total energy the same system would collect if supported by a geostationary satellite (SSP). The concept of the aerostat for solar power generation is then briefly described together with the equations that link its main engineering parameters/variables. A preliminary sizing of a facility stationed at 6 km altitude and its costing, based on realistic values of the input engineering parameters, is then presented

    Investigation of the RESURF Dielectric Inserted (REDI) LDMOS as a novel Silicon-based RF Power Device

    No full text
    In this paper, a novel power device named as RESURF Dielectric Inserted (REDI) LDMOS is put forward. It is fully compatible with standard CMOS technology, which can sharply reduce the cost. In this novel REDI LDMOS, a RESURF structure and a dielectric region are inserted at the suitable position of the drift region to reconstruct the electric field and the electric potential distributions of the channel region and the drift region, which can effectively reduce the peak electric field and increase the breakdown voltage. The impacts of key device parameters on REDI LDMOS behaviors are comprehensively studied with device simulation tools. The structural parameters are optimized to obtain acceptable high breakdown voltage (> 10V), excellent on-state behavior and high frequency performance (> 10GHz).http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000265971000049&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicPhysics, AppliedEICPCI-S(ISTP)
