In the study, solid state transformers (SST) are used for continuous var compensation, while voltage regulators (VR) are for voltage regulation. The objectives are to minimize total system power loss while maintaining voltages along the feeder within acceptable limits. A two step optimization volt/var control method for multiple, discrete/continuous mixed regulating device is introduced in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique is able to achieve the objective efficiently.}, booktitle={2012 ieee pes transmission and distribution conference and exposition (t&d)}, author={Shen, Z. and Wang, Z. and Baran, Mesut}, year={2012} } @article{wang_parker_hodge_croswell_yang_misra_hauser_2000, title={Effect of polysilicon gate type on the flatband voltage shift for ultrathin oxide-nitride gate stacks}, volume={21}, ISSN={["0741-3106"]}, DOI={10.1109/55.830971}, abstractNote={In this work, we demonstrate that the magnitude of flatband voltage (V/sub FB/) shift for ultrathin (<2 nm) silicon dioxide-silicon nitride (ON) gate stacks in MOSFET's depends on the Fermi level position in the gate material. In addition, a fixed positive charge at the oxide-nitride interface was observed.}, number={4}, journal={IEEE ELECTRON DEVICE LETTERS}, author={Wang, ZG and Parker, CG and Hodge, DW and Croswell, RT and Yang, N and Misra, V and Hauser, JR}, year={2000}, month={Apr}, pages={170–172} }
