Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

5. THE CONDITIONS TO BE FULFILLED FOR FAITHFUL
AMPLIFICATION
Faithful Amplification: The process of raising the strength of a weak signal without any change in its general
shape is known as faithful amplification.
The theory of transistor reveals that it will function properly if its input circuit (i.e. base-emitter junction)
remains forward biased and output circuit (i.e. collector-base junction) remains reverse biased at all times.
This is then the key factor for achieving faithful amplification. To ensure this, the following basic conditions
must be satisfied :
(i) Proper zero signal collector current
(ii) Minimum proper base-emitter voltage (VBE) at any instant
(iii) Minimum proper collector-emitter voltage (VCE) at any instant
The conditions (i) and (ii) ensure that base-emitter junction shall remain properly forward biased during all
parts of the signal. On the other hand, condition (iii) ensures that base-collector junction shall remain
properly reverse biased at all times. In other words, the fulfilment of these conditions will ensure that
transistor works over the active region of the output characteristics i.e. between saturation to cut off.
01
6. (i) Proper zero signal collector current: Consider an npn
transistor circuit shown in Fig (i). During the positive half-cycle
of the signal, base is positive w.r.t. emitter and hence base-
emitter junction is forward biased. This will cause a base
current and much larger collector current to flow in the circuit.
The result is that positive half-cycle of the signal is amplified in
the collector as shown. However, during the negative half-cycle
of the signal, base-emitter junction is reverse biased and hence
no current flows in the circuit. The result is that there is no
output due to the negative half-cycle of the signal. Thus we
shall get an amplified output of the signal with its negative half-
cycles completely cut off which is unfaithful amplification.
Now, introduce a battery source VBB in the base circuit as shown in Fig (ii). The magnitude of this voltage
should be such that it keeps the input circuit forward biased even during the peak of negative half-cycle of the
signal. When no signal is applied, a d.c. current IC will flow in the collector circuit due to VBB as shown. This is
known as zero signal collector current IC. During the positive half-cycle of the signal, input circuit is more
forward biased and hence collector current increases. However, during the negative half-cycle of the signal, the
input circuit is less forward biased and collector current decreases. In this way, negative half-cycle of the signal
also appears in the output and hence faithful amplification results. It follows, therefore, that for faithful
amplification, proper zero signal collector current must flow. The value of zero signal collector current should be
at least equal to the maximum collector current due to signal alone i.e.
02
7. Zero signal collector current ≥ Max. collector current due to signal alone Illustration. Suppose a signal
applied to the base of a transistor gives a peak collector current of 1mA. Then zero signal collector current
must be at least equal to 1mA so that even during the peak of negative half-cycle of the signal, there is no
cut off as shown in Fig (i). If zero signal collector current is less, say 0.5 mA as shown in Fig (ii), then some
part (shaded portion) of the negative half-cycle of signal will be cut off in the output.
03
8. (ii) Proper minimum base-emitter voltage: In order to achieve faithful amplification, the base-emitter voltage
(VBE) should not fall below 0.5V for germanium transistors and 0.7V for Si transistors at any instant.
The base current is very small until the *input voltage overcomes the potential barrier at the base-emitter
junction. The value of this potential barrier is 0.5V for Ge transistors and 0.7V for Si transistors as shown in Fig.
Once the potential barrier is overcome, the base current and hence collector current increases sharply.
Therefore, if base-emitter voltage VBE falls below these values during any part of the signal, that part will be
amplified to lesser extent due to small collector current. This will result in unfaithful amplification.
04
9. (iii) Proper minimum VCE at any instant: For faithful amplification, the collector-emitter voltage VCE should
not fall below 0.5V for Ge transistors and 1V for silicon transistors. This is called knee voltage.
When VCE is too low (less than 0.5V for Ge transistors and 1V for Si transistors), the collector-base junction is
not properly reverse biased. Therefore, the collector cannot attract the charge carriers emitted by the emitter
and hence a greater portion of them goes to the base. This decreases the collector current while base current
increases. Hence, value of β falls. Therefore, if VCE is allowed to fall below Vknee during any part of the signal,
that part will be less amplified due to reduced β. This will result in unfaithful amplification. However, when
VCE is greater than Vknee, the collector-base junction is properly reverse biased and the value of β remains
constant, resulting in faithful amplification.
05
10. DEFINITIONS:
• (і) Transistor Biasing: The proper flow of zero signal collector current and the maintenance
of proper collector-emitter voltage during the passage of signal is known as transistor
biasing.
• (іі) Stability: After stabilisation is done, the zero signal IC and VCE become independent of
temperature variations of replacement of transistor. It is called stability of a biasing circuit.
• (iii) Thermal runaway: The self-destruction of an unstabilised transistor is known as
thermal runaway.
• (iv) Stability Factor: The rate of change of collector current IC w.r.t. the collector leakage
current *ICO at constant β and IB is called stability factor.

11. THE CIRCUIT OF VOLTAGE DIVIDER BIASING METHOD
This is the most widely used method of
providing biasing and stabilisation to a
transistor. In this method, two resistances R1
and R2 are connected across the supply voltage
VCC and provide biasing. The emitter resistance
RE provides stabilisation. The name ‘‘voltage
divider’’ comes from the voltage divider formed
by R1 and R2. The voltage drop across R2
forward biases the base-emitter junction. This
causes the base current and hence collector
current flow in the zero signal conditions.
07
12. Collector current 𝑰 𝒄:
I1 =
𝑉𝑐𝑐
𝑅1 + 𝑅2
∴ Voltage across resistance 𝑅2 is
V2 =
𝑉𝑐𝑐
𝑅1+ 𝑅2
𝑅2
Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law to the base circuit
𝑉2 = 𝑉𝐵𝐸 + 𝑉𝐸
𝑜𝑟 𝑉2 = 𝑉𝐵𝐸 + 𝐼 𝐸 𝑅 𝐸
𝑜𝑟 𝐼 𝐸 =
𝑉2−𝑉 𝐵𝐸
𝑅 𝐸
𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐼 𝐸 ≃ 𝐼𝑐
∴ 𝐼𝑐 =
𝑉2−𝑉 𝐵𝐸
𝑅 𝐸
Collector-emitter voltage 𝑽 𝑪𝑬: Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law to the collector side,
𝑉𝐶𝐶 = 𝐼 𝐶 𝑅 𝐶 + 𝑉𝐶𝐸 + 𝐼 𝐸 𝑅 𝐸
= 𝐼 𝐶 𝑅 𝐶 + 𝑉𝐶𝐸 + 𝐼 𝐶 𝑅 𝐸
= 𝐼 𝐶(𝑅 𝐶 + 𝑅 𝐸) + 𝑉𝐶𝐸
∴ 𝑉𝐶𝐸 = 𝑉𝐶𝐶 − 𝐼 𝐶(𝑅 𝐶 + 𝑅 𝐸)

13. COMPARE THE STABILITY FACTOR OF FIXED BIAS AND VOLTAGE
DIVIDER BIAS METHOD
Base Resistor Method (Fixed Bias):
Stability factor:
S=
𝛽+1
1−𝛽
𝑑𝐼 𝐵
𝑑𝐼 𝐶
In fixed-bias method of biasing, IB is independent of IC so that,
𝑑𝐼𝐵
𝑑𝐼𝐶
=0
Putting the value of
𝑑𝐼 𝐵
𝑑𝐼 𝐶
= 0 in the above expression, we have,
Stability factor, S=β+1
Thus the stability factor in a fixed bias is (β + 1). This means that IC changes (β + 1) times as much as any
change in ICO. For instance, if β = 100, then S = 101 which means that IC increases 101 times faster than ICO.
Due to the large value of S in a fixed bias, it has poor thermal stability.
Disadvantage: In this method stability factor is very high. Therefore, there are strong chances of thermal
runaway. Due to these disadvantages, this method of biasing is rarely employed.
09
14. Voltage Divider Bias Method:
Stability factor:
It can be shown mathematically that stability factor of the circuit is given by :
Stability factor, S =
𝛽+1 𝑅0+𝑅 𝐸
𝑅0+𝑅 𝐸+𝛽𝑅 𝐸
= 𝛽 + 1 x
1+
𝑅0
𝑅 𝐸
𝛽+1+
𝑅0
𝑅 𝐸
Where, 𝑅0 =
𝑅1 𝑅2
𝑅1+𝑅2
If the ratio
𝑅0
𝑅 𝐸
is very small, then
𝑅0
𝑅 𝐸
can be neglected as compared to 1 and the stability factor becomes:
Stability factor = 𝛽 + 1 x
1
𝛽+1
= 1
This is the smallest possible value of S and leads to the maximum possible thermal stability. Due to design
considerations,
𝑅0
𝑅 𝐸
has a value that cannot be neglected as compared to 1. In actual practice, the circuit may
have stability factor around 10.

15. PRACTICAL CIRCUIT OF TRANSISTOR AMPLIFIER
It is important to note that a transistor can accomplish faithful amplification only if proper associated circuitry
is used with it. Fig shows a practical single stage transistor amplifier. The various circuit elements and their
functions are described below :
(i) Biasing circuit: The resistances R1, R2 and RE form the biasing and stabilisation circuit. The biasing circuit
must establish a proper operating point otherwise a part of the negative half-cycle of the signal may be cut
off in the output.
(ii) Input capacitor Cin: An electrolytic capacitor Cin (≃10 μF ) is used to couple the signal to the base of the
transistor. If it is not used, the signal source resistance will come across R2 and thus change the bias. The
capacitor Cin allows only a.c. signal to flow but isolates the signal source from R2.
11
16. (iii) Emitter bypass capacitor CE: An emitter bypass capacitor CE (≃ 100µF ) is used in parallel with RE to
provide a low reactance path to the amplified a.c. signal. If it is not used, then amplified a.c. signal flowing
through RE will cause a voltage drop across it, thereby reducing the output voltage.
(iv) Coupling capacitor CC: The coupling capacitor CC (≃ 10μF) couples one stage of amplification to the
next stage. If it is not used, the bias conditions of the next stage will be drastically changed due to the
shunting effect of RC. This is because RC will come in parallel with the upper resistance R1 of the biasing
network of the next stage, thereby altering the biasing conditions of the latter. In short, the coupling
capacitor CC isolates the d.c. of one stage from the next stage, but allows the passage of a.c. signal.
12
17. Various circuit currents: It is useful to mention the various currents in the
complete amplifier circuit. These are shown in the circuit.
(i) Base current: When no signal is applied in the base circuit, d.c. base current IB
flows due to biasing circuit. When a.c. signal is applied, a.c. base current ib also
flows. Therefore, with the application of signal, total base current iB is given by:
iB = IB + ib
(ii) Collector current: When no signal is applied, a d.c. collector current IC flows
due to biasing circuit. When a.c. signal is applied, a.c. collector current ic also
flows. Therefore, the total collector current iC is given by:
iC = IC + ic
where IC = β IB = zero signal collector current
ic = β ib = collector current due to signal
(iii) Emitter current: When no signal is applied, a d.c. emitter current IE flows. With the application of signal, total
emitter current iE is given by :
iE = IE + ie
It is useful to keep in mind that : IE = IB + IC
ie = ib + ic
Now base current is usually very small, therefore, as a reasonable approximation, IE≃IC and ie ≃ ic
