The authors describe and apply a reliability evaluation approach for comparison of the reliability respectively availability of different types of HVDC converter stations taken into account limited statistical data, insufficient information, and differences in technology. To overcome these difficulties the idea of MIL-HDBK-217F ("Part Count Reliability Prediction"), established for electronic and microelectronic devices based on "well-defined" components and well-known base failure rates, is applied in a similar sense to HVDC converter stations. Nevertheless, differences of such two distinct areas have been considered. The components in electric power stations are usually custom designed, and can be regarded as abstract units (macro components with possibly different technology, structure and protection), therefore, statistical data can be very limited due to data complication and compilation. The described approach is not only restricted to the described HVDC converter stations but can be regarded as a (extensible) procedure for similar problems, especially in early design stage.

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics of network-based dynamical systems where network communication channels of finite data rates are inserted into the closed loops of the controlsystems. The authors analyze the bifurcation and chaotic behavior of the non-smooth dynamical systems. The authors first prove that for almost all system parameters there are no periodic orbits. This result distinguishes this type of non-smooth dynamical systems from many others exhibiting border-collision bifurcations. Next, the authors show analytically that the chaotic sets are separated from the region containing the line segment of all fixed points with a finite distance. Finally, the authors employ a simple model to highlight that both the number of clients sharing a common network channel and fluctuations in the available network bandwidth have significant influence on the performance of such dynamical systems.

Artificial bee colony (ABC) is an optimization algorithm inspired on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarms. It is suitable to be applied when mathematical techniques are impractical or provide suboptimal solutions. As a population-based algorithm, the ABC suffers on large execution times specifically for embedded optimization problems with computational limitations. For that we propose a hardware parallel architecture of the opposition-based ABC algorithm (HPOABC) that facilitates the implementation in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Numerical simulations using four well-known benchmark problems demonstrate that the opposition-based approach allows the algorithm to improve its functionality, preserving the swarm diversity. Additionally, synthesis results point outs that the HPOABC architecture is effectively mapped in hardware and is suitable for embedded applications.

In this paper, the H_2 optimal state-feedback control problem is investigated for discrete-time Markov jump systems subject to periodic coefficients and multiplicative noise. First of all, an exhaustive analysis is pursued to set up an H_2 performance criterion (H_2 norm), which can be characterized by the periodic solutions of two generalized Lyapunov equations. Based on the obtained H_2 norm, the H_2 optimal state-feedback controller is designed in terms of the stabilizing solution of a discrete-time generalized Riccati equation with periodic coefficients. Moreover, this stabilizing solution can be computed efficiently by the available iterative algorithm.
