TRANSFORMER-LESS BIDIRECTIONAL PWM CONVERTER INTEGRATING VOLTAGE MULTIPLIER-BASED CELL VOLTAGE EQUALIZER FOR SERIES-CONNECTED ELECTRIC DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITORS
ABSTRACT In the traditional energy storage systems consisting of series connected energy storage cells such as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), not only a bidirectional PWM converter but also a cell voltage equalizer is required. The system is prone to...
NEW EMI MODEL WITH THE SAME INPUT IMPEDANCES AS CONVERTER
ABSTRACT Among the already developed electromagnetic interference (EMI) models, there are the three-terminal models based on the estimation of impedances. These models are very interesting. Compared to the other models, they have the advantage of predicting conducted...
REFERENCE SUB MODULE-BASED CAPACITOR MONITORING STRATEGY FOR MODULAR MULTILEVEL CONVERTERS
ABSTRACT The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is attractive for medium or high-power applications because of the advantages of its high modularity, availability, and high power quality. Reliability is one of the most important challenges for the MMC consisting of a...
A DC-DC BOOST CONVERTER WITH A WIDE INPUT RANGE AND HIGH VOLTAGE GAIN FOR FUEL CELL VEHICLES
ABSTRACT In fuel cell vehicles, the output voltage of the fuel cell source is typically much lower than the voltage required by the DC bus and also this output voltage drops significantly as the output current increases. In order to match the output voltage of the...
SOLAR POWER GENERATION FORECASTING WITH A LASSO-BASED APPROACH
ABSTRACT The smart grid (SG) has emerged as an important form of the Internet of Things. Despite the high promises of renewable energy in the SG, it brings about great challenges to the existing power grid due to its nature of intermittent and uncontrollable...

COLLABORATIVE APPLICATION BETWEEN ROBOTS FOR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
ABSTRACT: In some conditions, such as dangerous environments or unfortunate accidents where a human cannot reach the workspace where the robot operates, the solution is to use the feature that collaborative robots can work together whit cooperative robots. In this...
MULTIMODAL HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION ON SERVICE ROBOT
ABSTRACT: In order to improve the efficiency of multimodal fusion in human-robot interaction (HRI), an improved technique is proposed to synthesize visual and audio data. The robotic auditory system uses a microphone array to obtain auditory information and uses the...
RECONSTRUCTION OF BACKBONE CURVES FOR SNAKE ROBOTS
ABSTRACT: Snake robots composed of alternating single-axis pitch and yaw joints have many internal degrees of freedom, which make them capable of versatile three-dimensional locomotion. In motion planning process, snake robot motions are often designed kinematically...
INTELLIGENT CONTROL SCHEME FOR SPV-WIND-BESS BASED MICRO GRID
ABSTRACT This article proposes a novel control scheme for efficient control of solar photovoltaic (SPV), wind energy system (WES) and battery energy storage system (BESS) based micro-grid. Using this control scheme the voltage in the main DC bus is kept constant...
