This paper presents a simulation method for the DCO. EM simulations are essential and inevitable for modern LC oscillator design. Although EM-simulators provide high accuracy, the EM-simulation time is very long when metal-oxide-metal (MoM) capacitors are present. The proposed frame-based EM-simulation can significantly reduce the EM-simulation time even in the presence of MoM capacitors without influencing...
This paper presents the application of metamaterial structure for improving the gain of antenna to extend the reading distance of UHF RFID reader without any modifying of the original reader. The proposed structure of metamaterial is designed on the theory of Spilt Ring Resonator (SRR), which located in front of such the RFID reader, while the back side of reader is blocked with a metallic sheet as...
Cyber attacks are a critical threat to government infrastructure, commercial enterprises and personal devices. When belligerents attack cyber systems, they need to spread laterally to reach high value targets and communicate with their command and control sites. Intuitively, a layered defense including intrusion detection systems will limit the adversary's exploitation of the target. We apply lessons...
This paper presents the measurement and simulation results in a crowded area from our previously proposed path-loss prediction method. The root-mean-square (RMS) error between the simulation and measurement results was less than 4 dB, confirming that our method can accurately predict path loss in crowded areas.
In order to reduce the Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) in three-to-five phase indirect matrix converters, three improved Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) methods are proposed and discussed. The improved modulation schemes are achieved by reorganizing zero vectors from the inversion stage to the rectification stage. The proposed methods can not only theoretically reduce the CMV peak value by up...
This paper proposes two methods for optimal design of DC bus reference voltage (Vdcref) and an optimal selection of the shunt active filter (SAF) inductor. The proposed methods help to reduce the filter rating, devices stress and increase the performance of the SAF. An optimal choice of the inductor of the SAF is presented based on the slope calculation of the SAF current which was demonstrated to...
This paper addresses the estimation of a permanent magnet synchronous machine mechanical position and speed estimation at low speed and standstill. The method is based on the injection of an additive voltage at High Frequency (HF), which exploits the position dependency to the magnetic saliency. Unlike the usual HFI method, this estimator has a simple structure with only one filter. The simulation...
This paper presents a flyback converter based partial power processing structure for battery energy storage system (BESS). It combines both of the battery balancing functionality and power stage regulation functionality into one system. The proposed BESS only have one control variable which is the common duty cycle for all the flyback converters. It is used for the voltage or current regulation. There...
In recent years, the wireless body area network (WBAN) has become a heated topic in research, but its quality of service (QoS) has not received enough attention. The two operation modes of IEEE802.15.4 are analyzed, and the slotted CSMA/CA mechanism is found more suitable for the WBAN. With the simulation tool OPNET the network delays are proved to change in accordance with the parameter values of...
Water supply system has characteristics of non-linear, time-varying parameter, large time delay, so its mathematical model changes time by time. Water supply system widely use PID controller to keep constant pressure and PID controller need accurate mathematical model. The system that use PID controller is along with large overshoot, more adjusting time. Fuzzy controller don't need the accurate mathematical...
In this work, the implementation of the chargecontrolled method in a CMOS chip is presented. The idea of the method is that the transferred total charge quantity is composed of a number of packets which are intended to stimulate the cells of the retina electrically. In addition, it will be compared with already established methods. The influence of electrode interfaces on the process is investigated...
Exponential increase and global access to read/write memory states in quantum computing simulation limit both the number of qubits and quantum transformations that can be currently simulated. Although quantum computing simulation is parallel by nature, spatial and temporal complexity are major performance hazards, making this an important application for HPC. A new methodology employing reduction...
The robust stabilization problem of a 3-degree of freedom helicopter using continuous sliding-mode controllers is addressed in this paper. The sliding output is designed for relative degree equal to one and two, and the desired sliding-mode dynamics using the generalized formula by Ackermann and Utkin. To have available the complete state, a higher-order sliding-mode differentiator is also implemented...
The paper presents a novel Telepower (−48V DC) reliability method, directly utilising site asset data in simulation software, to determine the effectiveness of battery replacement programs. Reliability is often estimated by a simple count of the number of outages per annum. This approach has many shortcomings because a count of outages can change dramatically even when the reliability of the physical...
Smart grids rely on the integration of distributed energy resources towards an intelligent and distributed manner to organize the electrical power grid enabled by a bidirectional flow of information to improve reliability and robustness, fault detection and system operation, and plug-and-playability of energy devices. The integration of information and communication technologies (ICT), one of the...
In order to achieve the integration of ac/dc output in the aircraft power system, a novel single-input/dual-output indirect matrix converter (IMC) is proposed in this paper. Based on the fact that a real dc-link is formed in IMC, the proposed topology realizes dc output by inserting a simple two transistor forward converter (TTFC) into the dc-link. Its modulation strategy is composed of two parts,...
The input-series output-parallel (ISOP)-connected system has a wide range of applications. In this paper, we propose an input voltage-sharing control scheme that quickly combines commercial modules in an ISOP connection. A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is connected in parallel at the input side of each converter and is controlled by an input voltage-sharing loop to maintain...
With the development of the smart meters, demand response (DR) is able to provide fast ancillary services, such as frequency control. Some recent studies demonstrated that DR can perform like thermal generators in the frequency control. However, little attention has been paid to DR's effect on the electromechanical oscillations of the power system. Fast-response DR can not only affect system frequency,...
