Motor drives is a widely used technology. offering many advantages. such as exceptional speed control and flexibility. Improvement of reliability and efficiency has become a great research interest. Toward this direction and considering the major recent developments in supercapacitor technology. the use of bidirectional energy recovery converters has been introduced …

The following is an example of one type of article we’d like to showcase. It’s a report based on a two-hour panel discussion on IoT in healthcare. held at the NIST offices in Gaithersburg. Maryland on 30 August 2017. The panel was part of a one-day workshop on IoT sensors …

Power Generation Technologies. Third Edition is a comprehensive guide on the full spectrum of currently available power generation options. from traditional fossil fuels and better established alternatives. such as wind and solar power. to emerging renewables. such as biomass and geothermal energy. New to this edition are expanded chapters on …

This paper presents a high-voltage CMOS PV mini-module fabricated using a one-step LSR process. The proposed PV mini-module features adjustable (0.5 to 12.5V) open-circuit voltage and µA-scale short-circuit current in a small form factor with a specific open-circuit voltage &lt.Voc&gt. of 3.13 V mm2. Only 25 on-chip PV cells were …

In this paper. an IACA has been proposed. and the pheromones of the path are adaptively adjusted to avoid the local optimum. Simulation results based on MATLAB verified the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. The IACA has good robustness. and can be used in an AFTC system. which varies its …

While many transportation and city planners. researchers. students. practitioners. and political leaders are familiar with the technical nature and promise of vehicle automation. consensus is not yet often seen on the impact that will result. or the policies and actions that those responsible for transportation systems should take. The End …

In this paper. a novel HTS CIM was studied based on the minimization of the torque ripple and the perpendicular magnetic field component to the tape surface. The results shows that the performance of HTS materials is still not fully developed. but also needs further optimization. Based on the initial …

In this letter. a simple ESO based DC-link voltage control strategy was proposed for three-phase AC DC converter. With the proposed control strategy. additional sensors for improving system dynamic response under disturbance was avoided. which was suitable for “plug and play“ for expanding the UPS modules and microgrid. The proposed …

We have established a lower bound on load capacitance which can guarantee network stability without pre-determining the network topology. Our bound provides a theoretical foundation for ad hoc microgrids with modular source and load units. The development process for these microgrids is 1) Define acceptable voltage levels across all units …
