Stochastic power processing through logic operation of power packets.

This article presents an application of the recently proposed logic operation of power based on power packetization. In a power packet despatching system, the power supply can be considered as a sequence of power pulses, where the occurrence of pulses follows a probability that corresponds to the capacity of the power sources or power lines. In this study, we propose a processing scheme to reshape a stream of power packets from such stochastic sequences to satisfy the load demand. The proposed scheme is realized by extending the concept of stochastic computing to the power domain. We demonstrate the operation of the proposed scheme through experiments and numerical simulations by implementing it as a function of a power packet router, which forms a power packet despatching network. The stochastic framework proposed in this study provides a new design foundation for low-power distribution networks as an embodiment of the close connection between the cyber and physical components.

Electric power processing using logic operation and error correction.

In this study, electric power is processed using the logic operation method and the error correction algorithms to meet load demand. Electric power was treated as the physical flow through the distribution network, which was governed by circuit configuration and efficiency. The hardware required to digitize or packetize electric power, which is called power packet router, was developed in this research work for low power distribution. It provides an opportunity for functional electric power dispatching while disregarding the power flow in the circuit. This study proposes a new design for the network, which makes the logic operation of electric power possible and provides an algorithm to correct the inaccuracies caused by dissipation and noise. Phase shift of the power supply network is resulted by implementing the introduced design.
