This paper studies the fully-distributed consensus problem for multi-agent systems with unknown dynamics and bounded external disturbances. The interaction topology of the multi-agent system is assumed to contain a directed spanning tree. Based on adaptive gains, we present the fully-distributed consensus protocol which can obtain consensus without using any global information. The simulation examples...
Front end PFC (power factor correction) boost ac-dc converter is an intrinsic part of applications like telecom servers, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and microgrids. In this paper a bridgeless PFC boost rectifier with two dc/dc boost circuits topology is employed to convert universal ac input to a fixed and regulated output dc voltage. High efficiency and power density are key figure-of-merits...
The symmetrical compensation is widely used in inductive power transfer (IPT) system due to the advantages of achieving good coupling coefficient when the coils are perfectly aligned and easy to design. This paper investigates a general tuning method for voltage-fed symmetrical higher-order resonant networks for achieving load-independent transconductance. With the proposed tuning method, a resonant...
Droop control is a widely used technique for load sharing in DC microgrids (MGs). However, it has its limitations due to the MG voltage deviating from its rated level and, more importantly, it suffers from possible poor current sharing accuracy. Voltage drops across coupling line impedances is the main factor that causes these limitations, which is further deteriorated by the virtual impedance introduced...
In this paper, we apply outer synchronization to identify unknown parameters existing in the node dynamics between two interacted networks. According to the coupling and interacted matrices, we design the corresponding adaptive control schemes and updating laws to achieve the outer synchronization. By the Lyapunov functional theory, we derive two theorems of the appearance of outer synchronization...
A control strategy to manage the circulating current content in a Modular Multilevel Converter in direct AC-AC topology is proposed in this article. The converter is connected in three-phase YDY configuration which forms a closed delta path for free current circulation while keeping outsider waveforms with low THD content. Circulating current correction becomes necessary face to any kind of unbalance...
With the development of electric locomotives in the direction of high speed and heavy load, the problems of negative sequence current and excessive neutral section in traction network have become more serious than before. Thus, a hybrid railway power conditioner (H-RPC) is proposed for co-phase power supply system to solve these problems. In this paper, the topology and compensation principle of the...
This paper discusses the operation of a new battery-integrated high-frequency-isolated PV inverter. The working principle of the circuit is similar to the triple-active-bridge converter, wherein power-flow at two of the three ports can be regulated by variation of phase-shifts between the three synthesized high-frequency ac voltages. ZVS operation of most devices and an electrolytic capacitor-free...
There is a conflict between the energy transfer efficiency and maximum transferred power in conventional inductive power transfer (IPT) systems, and the energy transfer efficiency is only 50% when maximum power is transferred. To solve this problem, a new topology which is operated at switched-mode is proposed in this paper. The high frequency current of the topology is generated by the free oscillation...
This paper presents the establishment and operation control strategy of a DC microgrid incorporated with bidirectional inductive power transfer (BIPT) system for Electric Vehicles (EVs) charging applications. The primary side of IPT system is powered by a DC microgrid which is established from PV as renewable energy source and battery for energy storage. The proposed concept minimizes power electronic...
The PT-symmetry breaking for topological defect-states are studied in SSH micro-resonator laser arrays. For defect modes, the PT-symmetry breaking threshold reduces when the coupling strength between closely paired elements is increased. Such topological defect-modes are demonstrated in a 16-ring SSH PT-laser arrangement.
Traditional half bridge dual buck inverter (DBI) has a low power density due to the employing of two large input capacitances and two discrete output inductors. Magnetic integration is an effective method to enhance power density. However, unexpected circulating current may be induced by adopting conventional magnetic integration scheme. This paper proposes a novel magnetic integrated DBI inverter,...
This paper presents a technique for the introduction of transmission zeros (TZs) using half section matched terminations for implementing high selectivity filters in planar technology. The proposed technique does not require the introduction of cross-couplings or multiple signal paths, and it can be easily incorporated on any planar filter using lumped and quasi-lumped elements. Thus, two different...
Contactless power transfer (CPT) is an emerging topic which relies in high frequency resonant inverters to transfer power from a transmitter to a physically separated receiver inductively. Capacitive compensations on both the primary and secondary sides of a loosely coupled transformer are usually employed in recent researches in order to enhance the power transfer capability and the system efficiency...
Communication networks in the smart grids play an important role in the reliability of power delivery. When power grid is stressed as a result of failures due to natural disasters and attacks (e.g., High Altitude Electro-Magnetic Pulse (HEMP) and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD's)), successive interdependent failures may propagate within and across these networks leading to large-scale cascading-failures...
This paper discusses the limitations of power line communication (PLC) in vehicles, regarding system loads, transceiver coupling circuits and cable topology. Firstly, ECU input impedances were analyzed to obtain typical termination load conditions in modern vehicle power supply systems. Coupling circuits and cable harness topologies for the power distribution network were proposed, as well. Then,...
This paper describes an efficient design workflow of a dual-mode bandpass filter. The device consists of square ridge resonators that are coupled through broadside irises in the waveguide. This allows for a compact solution where full control over the individual couplings is possible. A new tuning process is proposed which involves the extraction of a coupling matrix for the detuned 3D filter. The...
The propagation of the S0 Lamb mode in AlN membrane combined with continuous and structured SiO2 thin films is theoretically studied with respect of the materials geometrical parameters and electrical boundaries conditions. A comparison is made in terms of the phase velocity, electromechanical coupling coefficient and temperature coefficients of frequency (TCF) between the studied structures. The...
Two-phase residential installations have become very common in Ecuador since different policies prompt the users to replace gas stoves and water heaters by electric appliances. The addition of a second phase to the originally installed single-phase wiring is required to obtain 220Vrms. This fact carries an intrinsic unbalance since single- and two-phase loads coexist. In this paper a topology for...
Wireless power transfer (WPT) system has been introduced to many applications. However, it allows very limited misalignment of the power receiver relative to the power transmitter, which is not suitable for some applications such as electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging. This paper presents methods to improve output stability over large misalignment from the perspective of compensation topology...
