Analysis and design methods for broadband power systems

As more distributed approaches like those employed in broadband replace traditional methods of powering telecommunication networks, maintaining the present high levels of reliability and availability while minimizing cost requires that a thorough network analysis be conducted as an integral part of the design process. We present an analysis methodology for broadband power network design and illustrate it using examples. We also demonstrate how such analyses can be very useful, especially in the early planning and architecture determination stages, by providing comparisons between powering voltages with different waveforms.
