pulse width modulation (PWM) control is investigated for the Mecanum-wheeled mobile robot (MWMR) driven by servo motors with random disturbance. As a preliminary, PWM strategy of random nonlinear systems is obtained by the aid of the functional analysis tool. A smooth voltage controller is presented by the backstepping technique for MWMR. Based on the boundedness of input voltage caused by direct-current motors, the optimal bounded controller is obtained by the quadratic programming method. Therefore, the optimal duty ratio is generated by the positive part and the negative part of the optimal control, the digital controller is synthesized in turns. Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed PWM scheme.

Solid-state lasers are usually used as excitation light sources for measuring the upconversion luminescence spectra. But the output power of this kind of laser usually jitters at unsaturated output circumstances, leading to unstable luminescence intensity and affecting the accuracy of excitation threshold measurement. Herein, pulse width modulation was used for adjusting the power of a 532 nm solid-state laser for measuring the upconversion threshold. The average output power of lasers can be adjusted by changing the pulsewidth at a constant pulse frequency. The stability is significantly higher than that of the output power using current modulation. The excitation threshold estimated by this method is similar to that of the continuous light excitation. pulse width modulation is expected to be applied to other lasers in power modulation and will play an important role in fluorescence detection and imaging.

This article proposes pulse width modulation (PWM) methods for low inductance brushless dc (BLDC) motor drives that minimize the commutation torque ripples. An uneven current of noncommutation phase generates the commutation torque ripples. In the low inductance BLDC motor drives, two types of time delays in PWM also induce critical torque ripples. In this article, the analyses of the time delays in PWM and their effects are introduced. Then, two PWM methods are proposed to eliminate the time delays in the commutation region and the conduction region, respectively. The commutation period is controlled to be synchronized to the switching period. In addition, the proposed methods synchronize the switching period to the commutation interrupt. As a result, the proposed methods effectively maintain the minimum commutation period as well as minimize the commutation torque ripples in the low inductance BLDC motor drives. The validity of the proposed methods is demonstrated by the simulation and experimental results in various driving conditions. The results show that the commutation period is remarkably shortened and the commutation torque ripples are reduced by 27.6% in comparison to the conventional method.

This paper presents a fully integrated digital pulse-width-modulation three-level DC-DC buck converter. An internal switching frequency of 100 MHz is selected to minimize the value of passive components, and the package bond-wire based inductor is selected. In the integrated voltage regulator, a three-level structure is used to reduce the output voltage ripple, and Digital pulse width modulation (DPWM) is employed to achieve efficient current and voltage control. This digitally configured control scheme is robust against external environmental factors, such as process, voltage, and temperature variations, and also achieves a fast load transient time. The proposed circuit is fabricated using a 130-nm BCDMOS process, and it can regulate the 5-V input voltage to the output voltage range of 3.3-3.7 V. The three-level buck converter with an active area of 1.035 mm(2) shows a power conversion efficiency of 72.4% under the load current of 200 mA.

Although diversified control schemes have been reported for ionic-polymer metal composites (IPMC) actuators, maneuvering the IPMC actuator in a static position with a large displacement for a long time is still challenging because of its highly intrinsic non-linear and hysteresis characteristics. Instead of using a complex model, a simple and systematic control scheme based on the pulse width modulation (PWM) driving signal and feedforward compensation was first reported to solve this issue. We present the fabrication of the tested IPMC actuator and ensure its continuous alternative motion of amplitude 8 mm for more than 20 min. The fixed position control methodology is sequentially applied: examining the unipolar PWM signal test to find the optimal driving frequency, characterizing the delayed time and displacement by bipolar PWM signal, and performing closed-loop feedforward control of the IPMC actuator with optimal frequency bipolar PWM signal and delayed displacement compensation. Furthermore, a novel scheme was created to predict the occurrence of the wellknown perplexing back-relaxation behavior of the IPMC actuator by simply processing the control signal. With this control methodology, the underwater fixed position control in the range of +/- 4 mm, control time for 8 min, and above 50 % position error improvement compared to that without feedforward compensation have been demonstrated. The control results also show that the perturbation amplitude of the IPMC actuator around the setting position can be tuned. This control methodology paves the way for the versatile and practical operation of IPMC actuators.

Reliability improvement of the Photovoltaic (PV) inverter has a high potential for reducing the cost of PV energy. The DC-link capacitor is one of the main components influencing the reliability of PV inverter systems. Various pulse-widthmodulation (PWM) methods have been proposed to increase the lifetime of the DC-link capacitor by reducing its ripple current. However, state-of-the-art PWM methods for reducing capacitor ripple current increase the output current THD. Nevertheless, its optimal application to achieve the target lifetime without unnecessary deterioration in output current THD has not been discussed. This paper proposes a PWM method for improving the lifetime of the DC-link capacitor of the NPC inverter. In addition, a mission-profile-based optimal application of the proposed PWM method with conventional Space Vector modulation (SVM) called a hybrid MLZSVM method is presented for achieving the target lifetime of the DC-link capacitor with minimized negative effect on the output THD of the NPC inverter. The proposed hybrid PWM concept is verified by the case study based on an annual mission profile of the PV system. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified through experiments.

This paper presents the computation of three-level optimized pulse patterns (OPPs) that limit the common-mode voltage (CMV) and generate currents with low harmonic distortions. This is achieved by relaxing the symmetry properties of conventional OPPs and by reformulating the associated optimization problem accordingly. As demonstrated by the presented numerical results for a three-level converter driving a medium-voltage (MV) induction machine, the computed OPPs not only limit the CMV but also produce very low harmonic distortions, in some cases even lower than those of conventional OPPs. Experimental results based on a scaled-down, low-voltage (LV) drive system serve as a proof of concept, highlighting the benefits of the proposed OPPs.

Electric machines form an essential part of a wide range of modern systems. When speed control is required, the use of pulse width modulation-based inverters is generally the solution of choice. It is also usual to connect the machine to the inverter using a cable. The combination of these three elements produces the potential for voltages which exceed the dc link voltage to occur at the machine terminals. Methods for predicting the terminal voltage exist;however, these methods assume that the pulses applied to the system can be considered as isolated, discrete events. The authors highlight an issue with this assumption. When a switching event occurs, it will cause a voltage disturbance in the unswitched phases of the system due to the mutual coupling between the phases. If a second switching event occurs within a short time of this event the resultant voltage will interact with the previous switching event resulting in a higher terminal voltage than would be the case for an isolated event. This effect can be problematic for insulation design if it is not considered. This issue is demonstrated, with the worst-case scenarios identified and potential methods of reducing terminal voltage being proposed. Electric machines driven by pulse width modulation-based inverters and connected using cables form an essential part of a wide range of modern systems. The combination of these three elements produces the potential for voltages which exceed the dc link voltage to occur at the machine terminals due to propagation and reflection effects. Methods for predicting the terminal voltage exist;however, these methods assume that the pulses applied to the system can be considered as isolated, discrete events;the authors highlight the fact that these predictions will be lower than the actual voltages experienced when multiple switching events from different phases occur within a short time period due to the effects of mutual coupling between the ***

Electrochemical micromachining (EMM) is leading a promising role in the fabrication of microcomponents which are used in different fields of micro -engineering applications. By reducing the energy of pulse waveform, machining accuracy can be improved, but in stagnant electrolytes, generated sludge during machining which creates an obstacle to further improvement of machining performance. To overcome this problem, pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed in EMM, where pulsewidth moves from shortest to longer duration without changing pulse period. Due to it, sludge can remove quickly from the narrow machining zone when the duration of pulse off time is longer and anodic dissolution can be controlled. This PWM is applied on step pulse waveform which is designed indigenously. In this waveform, two different peak voltages are incorporated into the pulse on time, resulting in potential transmission during each pulse on time is controlled. As a consequence, during each pulse on time, larger amount of material dissolution can be controlled precisely. To verify the feasibility of PWM technique, machining accuracy is investigated for different applied voltages, duty cycles, frequencies, and tool feed rates. In addition, the machined surface finish is also investigated under best parametric combination utilising different electrolyte concentrations. This PWM makes an effective contribution to profile accuracy, where at the movement of duty cycle from 30 % to 50 %, micro -groove width overcut is obtained as 34.026 mu m accompanied by less standard deviation of 1.24 mu m and taper angle of 14.030. By using this novel method, the machined surface roughness (Ra) is achieved as 0.0244 mu m, whereas Ra is 0.1609 mu m for the non-PWM method.
