Innovative Computational Approach to Harmonic Mitigation for Seven-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverters
2020
Low frequency modulation strategies are a good solution to increase the energy conversion efficiency in high power applications. The paper is devoted to presents an innovative way to low order harmonics mitigation for seven-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverters. In particular, this approach is based on the mitigation of selected harmonics without solve non-linear equations for an extended range of the fundamental amplitude. In fact, in real-Time operation to evaluate the control angles the polynomial equations have been identified. Through circuit simulation analysis in MatLab/PLECS environment, the effectiveness of the harmonic mitigation method has been tested and compared with theoretical re…
Novel Computational Method for Harmonic Mitigation for Three-phase Five-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter
2018
The efficiency of the system is a very important parameter for high power electrical drives applications,. Moreover, in the system the efficiency of the power converter play a fundamental role and for this reason, the soft switching modulation techniques represent the best choice. This paper presents a novel computational method for harmonic mitigation on the output voltage of a five-level, three-phase Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter without solving non-linear equations. Through this simple approach the Working Areas have been identified in which the harmonics reference have minimum amplitude possible. Moreover, polynomial equations to evaluate the control angels have been found. In this way, th…
New Results in Generalized Minimum Variance Control of Computer Networks
2014
In this paper new results in adaptive (generalized) minimum variance control of packet switching computer networks are presented. New solutions, corresponding to the new inverses of the nonsquare polynomial matrices, can be used for design of robust control of multivariable systems with different number of inputs and outputs. Application of polynomial matrix inverses with arbitrary degrees of freedom creates the possibilities to optimal control of computer networks in terms of usage their maximal bandwidth. Simulation examples made in Matlab environment show big potential of presented approach. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.itc.43.3.6268
Selective harmonic mitigation with asymmetrical staircase voltage waveform for a three-phase five-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter
2020
Selective harmonics elimination or mitigation strategies are used in all applications where it is necessary to rise the efficiency and reliability of the overall system. This paper presents a simple approach to reduce the low order harmonics amplitude of an asymmetrical staircase voltage waveform for a five-level, three-phase Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter without solving non-linear equations. Through this simple approach, polynomial equations to evaluate the control angels in real-time operations have been found. The effectiveness of the harmonic mitigation method has been tested through the simulation analysis in MatLab/PLECS environment.
High Accuracy Modelling of Hybrid Power Supplies
2011
This chapter proposes a modelling approach based on the PSIM/Simulink co-simulation toolbox for hybrid power supplies, featuring high accuracy. Hybrid source performances are fully tested during behavioural simulations. The importance of high-accuracy modelling is investigated and modelling guidelines for both power sources and load are given for further applications. The Simulink model is analyzed and the efficiency of the proposed approach is verified by the comparison between simulation and experimental results. In the last few years, hybrid power supplies are investigated for a wide variety of application areas: two primary sources are coupled to take advantages of both, overcoming thei…
Method for Estimating the Manual Nesting Process Efficiency for Profiling Machines, Based upon Image Processing Techniques
2015
The paper presents a method for estimating the efficiency of the manual nesting process. By using the graphic file generated during the nesting process and using image processing techniques, the method allows the user to calculate the percentage of material used for manufacturing the parts. The method combines a manual approach - the user has to select some specific points on the graphic file with the mouse, with some image processing algorithms form Matlab software package.
A Matlab based interface for infrared thermographic diagnosis of pediatric musculoskeletal injuries
2016
Abstract Background and objective One of the main causes of emergency medical consultations done by children are musculoskeletal injures. In such cases, radiological tests are a common practice to diagnose the gravity of the trauma and determine the likely existence of a fracture. In order to avoid, or at least to reduce, the use of ionizing radiations with children, the infrared thermographic technique was studied as an alternative solution, since it is a non-harmful, non-invasive and non-contact technique, without excessive technical complications and moderate cost when compared to other types of imaging tools. Methodology When an infrared thermographic diagnostic test is performed, and o…

Erle-copter Simulation using ROS and Gazebo
2020
The recent decrease in the price as well as size of semi-conductor logic and due to significant advancements in technologies such as microcontrollers, motors and sensors, the application of quadcopters in several fields has been achieved. However, testing of quadcopter prototypes still has a risk of damage due to faults and unexpected behavior. Hence, a method of testing of quadcopters in simulation mimicking the actual conditions of the real environment in an actual hardware test has been proposed. For this purpose, Gazebo simulator integrated with ROS has been chosen for the simulation of the path of the quadcopter. Moreover, the software Matlab/Simulink has been interfaced with Gazebo in…
Cloud Infrastructure for Skin Cancer Scalable Detection System
2018
Skin cancer diagnostics is one of the medical areas where early diagnostic allows achieving patients’ high survival rate. Typically, skin cancer diagnostic is performed by dermatologist, since the amount of such specialists is limited, mortality rate is high [1]. By creating the low cost and easy to use diagnostic device, it is possible to bring skin cancer diagnostic to primary care physicians and allow to check much more persons and diagnose skin cancer on the early stages. There are several existing devices, that provide skin cancer diagnostics [2]. Most of them process the skin images locally and have limited diagnostic capabilities; some of them send images to dermatologists for manual…
