The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in a complex cyber-physical system of systems that is continually evolving. With ever more complex systems being developed and changed there has been an increasing reliance on simulation as a vital part of the design process. There is also a growing need for simulation integration and co-simulation in order to analyse the complex interactions...
In present work is carried out modelling of single transistor parallel ZVS DC-DC converter. Main advantage of power circuit is direct work in steady mode. Thus, that allows avoiding a starting procedure and guarantees reliable operation in significant major change in load occur. The model is realised with Matlab. Computer simulations and experiments in lab model are performed by which the model is...
This paper presents a new algorithm for finding the parameters that characterize a photovoltaic panel by using the Glowworm Swarm Optimization algorithm. This new algorithm shows great simplicity, flexibility and precision, being able to precisely locate the global optimum point or multiple global optimum points, independently of the initial conditions. The approach here adopted allows the utilization...
Current Cyber-Physical Systems are becoming too complex to model and simulate using the usual approaches. This complexity is not only due to a large number of components, but also by the increasing diversity of components and problem aspects. In this paper, we report on over a decade of experience in teaching the modelling and simulation of complex Cyber-Physical Systems, at both McGill University,...
Hybrid and electric buses are becoming more common sight in traffic. Especially the electric buses play an important part in reducing traffic emission. In this paper, energy consumption and energy cost of different busses (diesel, hybrid and electric) are studied. The buses are studied with Lappeenranta Route 1.
Today, most large and complex systems such as aircrafts or power grids integrate physical and human aspects with computing and networking, and therefore constitute so-called socio-cyber-physical systems (SCPS). Their engineering, from prospective and conceptual studies (to determine the scope of the system) through design and construction to operation, maintenance and upgrades, necessitates the cooperation...
This paper illustrates the modelling and simulation (M&S) based engineering approach developed in the framework of ITEA2 project MODRIO to the case of a Backup Power Supply. This system integrates physical and human aspects with computer-based controls, and is therefore a so-called socio-cyber-physical systems (SCPS). This system is relatively simple in terms of physics but is a realistic example...
Coriolis vibrating gyroscopes can be modeled by a planar resonator, using masses, springs and damping. In this paper, the corresponding equations are studied in order to characterize real vibrating cells. It is shown how to present the problem to allow efficient numerical simulations and analytic developments. In particular, the use of the method of Averaging is fundamental, simplifying most of the...
Due to the larger scale of power systems and larger number of converters involved, the simulation of power systems becomes slower, with lower accuracy. FPGA is the new generation computation hardware, which is an integrated circuit designed for a special function. However, FPGA simulation still requires the parallel technology to extend the simulation scale. Network tearing interfaces can be used...
Advance in high-tech industries is due to evolution, respectively performance of electrical machines. Worldwide, designers are concerned to find answers to current questions such as: performance growth of asynchronous motors, reduce manufacturing and operating costs by adopting solution in line with global optimization approaches. Condition imposed to asynchronous motor design is limited startup current...
Military modelling and simulation plays a key role in troops training as well as in verification of military scenarios. Most of topics in the modelling of military performance were already successfully implemented into the simulators (like troops moving, fighting, aircraft simulation, etc.) however the simulation of surface (ground) based air defence systems capabilities are not fully developed now...
A trend seen in many industries is the increasing reliance on modelling and simulation to facilitate design, decision making and training. Previously, these models would operate in isolation but now there is a growing need to integrate and connect simulations together for co-simulation. In addition, the 21st century has seen the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) enabling the interconnectivity...
The monitoring of Intracranial pressure (ICP) is necessary for the patients who are suffering from the hydrocephalus disease. But the Intracranial pressure is monitored generally by invasive method in clinics. Cerebrospinal fluid circulation also plays an important role in the changes of intracranial pressure. Therefore, by using the simulation blocks in MATLAB 7.0 the cerebrospinal fluid model is...

Well known remote control, homing guidance or go onto location in space guidance (GOLIS) systems can be modified for UAS. Especially remote control and homing guidance systems can be used during the approach and landing phase. Mathematical and theoretical models of the systems were...
A novel pressure control system based on a centrifugal pump Simulink model is proposed aiming to reduce energy consumption during pump operation. The system developed provides the possibility of power reduction during pressure maintenance with the help of mixed pressure control strategy. To evaluate the system, a series of tests have been conducted that proved that the designed system is more beneficial...
The Automotive market is rapidly changing, as the increasing attention to the engine emissions pushes car makers to use vehicles less dependent on gasoline and diesel fuel, resulting in lower operating costs and emissions. Today, electric vehicles seem to be the best answer to the market demand. In this scenario, electric drives for traction play a key role, thus the necessity to develop effective...
