This article introduces a q-axis self-synchronizing current control strategy for three-phase grid-connected converters with LCL filters, encompassing its modeling, analysis, and design. Grid-forming converters synchronize with the grid by adjusting terminal voltage magnitude and frequency based on deviations in active and reactive power references. In contrast, grid-following converters use a phase-locked loop for synchronization, where a controller regulates output current by commanding the converter voltage. Building on these concepts, the proposed strategy achieves self-synchronization by monitoring deviations from current references and dynamically adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the synthesized voltage. This method enables a self-synchronizing current control that achieves grid synchronization independently of grid voltage measurements. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop testing validates the effectiveness of the q-axis self-synchronizing control. It also demonstrates the accuracy of the linearized model in representing system dynamics. The control strategy maintains stable operation under both ideal and nonideal grid conditions. Furthermore, this article provides a root-locus analysis of the linearized state-space model, a detailed design methodology, and a comprehensive stability analysis, including the impact of the operating point on system dynamics. Practical aspects such as a start-up procedure and an LCL reactive power compensation method are also addressed to support real-world implementation.

This paper aimed at the design methods of modern small satellites, integrated design and modularization assembling, put forward the design idea of the integrated system for design, analysis, system simulation and evaluation of the small satellite (ISDASE). Advanced simulation software and the real-time simulator (AC104) have been selected to set up the integrated system that includes two parts: mathematical simulation system and hardware-in-loop simulation system for developing and testing both software and hardware on board. It is used to optimize, simulate and evaluate the system scheme during the conception design stage, to demonstrate and verify the performance and specification of the components and subsystems during the development stage, and to deal with the fault diagnosis and procession during the test and operation stage.

This paper presents the improved control strategy with optimal switching scheme to improve the bidirectional converter's power flow control capability and to allow for different modes of operation in hybrid AC/DC microgrid. Also, this improved control strategy eliminates the need of PI controller for independent reactive power control. With the improvements in digital controllers, it is possible to implement complex control circuitry easily. The performance of bidirectional converter with improved control strategy is verified first in simulation environment and then on lab scale experimental set-up with the control circuit is implemented using hardware in loop in the real-time digital simulation platform. The simulation and experimental results for all the cases show that the controller is highly capable for power transfer between AC and DC grid with very fast response and also control reactive power without additional PI controller. Also, it maintains the current total harmonic distortion (THD) within standard limits.

The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is the best topology for medium and high voltage applications. The performance of MMC and the quality of the output waveform completely depends on the control applied. Nearest Level Modulation (NLM) is the conventional method used to control MMC that produces N+1 (N is the number of submodules per arm) AC output voltages. This article proposes a modified NLM control method for the MMC, which produces 2N+1 level which is twice the number of levels produced by conventional NLM. The proposed method is easy to implement and is extended in the article to produce a 4N+1 output voltage level which is never done in the literature. The THD of the output waveform is reduced to more than one-fourth compared to conventional NLM. The cost of switching devices, capacitors and size of circuit is also reduced to one-fourth for 4N+1 output waveform compared to conventional NLM. The method is verified through LabVIEW Multisim Co-simulation and real-time simulation using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based NI PXI.

The role of control system for aero-engine is to provide sufficient thrust and maintain physical and operational limits. Model reference adaptive control (MRAC) technique has been paid more attention for advantages in eliminating the effects of uncertainties arising from nonlinearity or component degradation and satisfying both safety and performance requirements in the entire flight envelope. However, due to the accuracy of aero-engine models, the implementation of the MRAC algorithm is challenging. In this paper, an MRAC architecture based on equilibrium manifold expansion (EME) model for an aero-engine is presented. An EME model is taken as the reference model in this architecture, which has high accuracy in the aero-engine modelling and contains both dynamic and steady-state characteristics of aero-engine. By using Lyapunov stability method, an MRAC based on EME model is designed and used to control the aero-engine obtaining desired performance. In the designed controller, uncertainty arising from component degradation of the aero-engine is estimated and the values of the uncertainty are replaced by the estimator. In order to indicate the control performance of the method provided in this article, the proposed MRAC architecture has been tested on a hardware-in-loop simulation platform, the simulation results have shown that compared the control performance with other traditional controllers, the aero-engine could quickly provide the desired control requirements without steady-state errors under the control of designed MRAC.

The paper considers the transition algorithm from incoherent models to partially coherent ones by the example of the problem of synthesizing a two-dimensional partially coherent model of a distributed radar object by its five-point and nine-point incoherent models. The transition algorithm includes the analytical expressions which allow determining powers and correlation functions of emitting signals for both types of models. The result is confirmed by numerical modeling. The comparison of the precision reflection altimeter formation and correlation function of angular glint provided by equivalent incoherent and partially coherent models is carried out.

The objective of the modal and spectral analysis is to determine the vibration characteristics of structures such as natural frequencies, dominant frequencies and mode shapes. Such modal and spectral analyses have major relevance to the study of the dynamic properties of the structures undergoing dynamic vibration. Methods for the estimation of the power spectral density and identification of the dominant frequencies from the sensor responses under random vibrating environment are presented in this paper. Periodogram using FFT, Welch Method and MUSIC algorithm are used to analyse the known frequency sinusoids with additive white noise and output of the vibration sensor mounted on the test object. The resultant spectra obtained using the methods and their corresponding errors with the reference spectrum are analysed. The Welch method is further studied with three different windows, namely, HIM, Hamming and Blackman-Harris and with three different overlapping criteria viz. 0%, 25% and 50%. The same algorithm and methodology were adopted and compared in two different platforms: Mathematical Model simulation and hardware-In-loop-simulation. It is observed from the results that Welch Method with 25% overlap used in combination either with Hann or Blackman-Harris window yields more accurate results, compared to other combinations. Also, 25% overlap provides better execution time trade-off compared to 50% overlap.

Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is an emerging converter topology for medium and high voltage applications. Nearest level Modulation (NLM) is the conventional control topology used to control the MMC that produces the N+1 AC output waveform. In previous research work, the Modified NLM has been already proposed, producing a 2N+1 and 4N+1 output waveform while utilizing a half-bridge (HB) submodule (SM) topology. However, half-bridge-based MMC has a similar behavior as two-level Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and cannot block DC fault current in case of DC-side short circuit fault. So, in recent years, full-bridge-based MMC topology is preferably used by manufacturers as it has DC fault blocking capabilities. This paper presents the Modified NLM for Full bridge (FB) SM topology to take the critical benefits of FB SM topology and improve power quality. The proposed method is simpler to implement and produces a 4N+1 AC output waveform. The THD of the output voltage and current reduces to half compared to the conventional NLM method. The proposed method is verified using LabVIEW Multisim co-simulation and as well as real-time simulation.

This paper presents a variant of the cyclic pursuit strategy that can be used for target tracking applications. Cyclic pursuit has been extensively used in multi-agent systems for a variety of applications. In order to monitor a target point or to track a slowly moving vehicle, we propose to use a group of non-holonomic vehicles. At equilibrium, the vehicles form a rigid polygonal around the target while encircling it. Necessary conditions for the existence of equilibrium and the stability of equilibrium formations are analysed considering unicycle model of the vehicles. The strategy is then applied to miniature aerial vehicles (MAV) represented by 6-DOF dynamical model. Finally the results are verified in a hardware in-loop simulator in real time, which included all on-board electronics of the MAVs.
