Analysis and design methods for broadband power systems

As more distributed approaches like those employed in broadband replace tra ditional methods of powering telecommunication networks, maintaining the pr esent high levels of reliability and availability while minimizing cost req uires 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 su ch analyses can be very useful, especially in the early planning and archit ecture determination stages, by providing comparisons between powering volt ages with different waveforms.
