This paper presents a full-order equivalent circuit model of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter. The proposed equivalent circuit facilitates the in-depth knowledge on the physical insight of DAB converter and can precisely retain both the steady state and dynamic behavior of the original system. This equivalent circuit can be divided into two parts: ac branch and dc branch. Both ac branch and dc branch...

Analysis of human behaviors is important in several research fields such as service science. In this paper, a method of model-based analysis of human behaviors is studied.

Furthermore, the analysis method using this model is explained...
In this paper, a concept is presented for simplifying and accelerating the development and testing process of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM), or its control unit, without utilizing any actual electric machine. The proposed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Emulator (PMSME) utilizes the Power-Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) concept to reproduce the mechanical and electrical characteristics...
A new power estimation approach based on the decomposition of a digital system into basic operators is presented. This approach aims to estimate the energy consumption at early design phases of digital blocks implemented on FPGAs. Each operator has its own model which estimates the switching activity and the power consumption. By interconnecting several operators, statistical information is then propagated...
As demands on new software increase, new approaches are needed to help developers ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for their offered service. In this paper we present a QoS modeling approach that complements and extends the standard microservice and component-based software engineering tools by giving the software engineer information on what Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) and quality constraints...
The increasing complexity of power grids makes hardware-in-the-loop simulations of electrical power systems more and more interesting for the industry. The simulation models are typically large. They often have to be split and used on several hardware platforms to allow efficient computations. Finding an appropriate position for splitting the simulation model requires expert knowledge about the electrical...
In the paper the approaches how to develop models of electrotechnical objects using the test example of two-winding transformer are discussed. A comparing of the continuous model created using the description of physical processes and discrete macromodel obtained using the “black box” approach based on field experiment are carried out. It is shown that the model obtained using the “black box” approach...
Many applications of the Preisach model need a lot of repeated calculations. Therefore, the algorithm speed is an important program parameter. Two ways of calculation acceleration are considered: improvement of the algorithm and reduction of the Preisach matrix using its specific feature. In the first case, which is universal, the calculation time can decrease about 500 times. In the second case the...
The simulation of transmission and distribution grids comes with a trade-off between the number of modeled components and the modeling depth on the one hand and the simulation speed on the other hand. An example system of a grid converter of a 2 MW full scale converter system is used to show a step-by-step model order reduction. Starting from a detailed switched model the order reduction is shown...
The IoT (Internet of Things) is one of the primary reasons for the massive growth in the number of connected devices to the Internet, thus leading to an increased volume of traffic in the core network. Fog and edge computing are becoming a solution to handle IoT traffic by moving timesensitive processing to the edge of the network, while using the conventional cloud for historical analysis and long-term...
In this paper two multiphysics models are performed in order to predict vibration behavior in a five-phase flux switching machine.

In order to evaluate stator radial accelerations, each of the two magnetic models are coupled with an analytical mechanical model to diagnose faulty...
The programmability of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) challenges the correctness and reliability of networks. There may be design flaws as well as implementation bugs in SDN applications. White-box testing methods with formal models rely on source codes, which limits the applicability of these methods. Black-box methods without behavior models cannot systematically cover an application's functions...

Differential equations of power converters are derived by inspection, based on two incident matrices, β(u) and J(u).
