The advent of the SiC Bidirectional FET (BiDFET), a monolithic 1.2 kV bidirectional switch, has rendered the single-stage three-phase AC/DC converter topology a promising approach for implementing AC/DC converters. This topology, which integrates a full-bridge converter with a single-phase to three-phase matrix converter via a high-frequency transformer, is particularly suitable for applications requiring galvanic isolation, buck-boost functionality, and bidirectional power flow. The single-stage design eliminates the need for bulky and unreliable electrolytic capacitors, and utilizes a single magnetic component for power transfer. In the matrix converter, bidirectional switches, which were traditionally implemented using combinations of multiple semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and diodes, can now be realized using the single-chip solution, BiDFET. This advancement leads to a lower switch count, compact converter implementation, with lower inductance commutation cells, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and compactness of the system. The paper presents a unified model of the converter, considering all control parameters, including the duty cycles and phase shift of transformer voltages. Detailed expressions for power transfer, transformer currents, and currents at AC and DC ports are provided. Additionally, the paper outlines the conditions necessary for soft-switching of all switches and the commutation schemes required for the practical implementation of the matrix converter modulation scheme. A hardware prototype of a 10 kW, 480 V RMS, LL / 800 V AC/DC system has been developed, and experimental results are presented to demonstrate its performance.

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have become popular for solving power system control problems. In conventional DRL, the agent is incentivized to explore all policies that can be encoded in a neural network (NN) with the sole objective of maximizing the reward function. In doing so existing DRL algorithms can produce infeasible solutions, i.e. recommend actions that do not satisfy the power flow equations, voltage limits as well as dynamic constraints. Power systems, are safety critical systems and ensuring the aforementioned physical constraints are met is essential. Often the problem remedied by projecting the actions in the feasible set, which is suboptimum. In this paper, we propose a primal-dual approach to learn optimal constrained DRL policies for dynamic optimal power flow problems, aiming at controlling power generations and battery outputs. Case studies on the IEEE standard systems validate the superior performance of dynamically adapting the policy to the environment and the required safety levels.

The efficient operation of large-scale Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) relies on precise calibration of kinematic parameters and the simplicity of the calibration process. This paper presents a graph-based self-calibration framework that explicitly addresses cable sag effects and facilitates the calibration procedure for large-scale CDPRs by only relying on internal sensors. A unified factor graph is proposed, incorporating a catenary cable model to capture cable sagging. The factor graph iteratively refines kinematic parameters, including anchor point locations and initial cable length, by considering jointly onboard sensor data and the robot’s kineto-static model. The applicability and accuracy of the proposed technique are demonstrated through Finite Element (FE) simulations, on both large and small-scale CDPRs subjected to significant initialization perturbations.

The proposed two-stage ensemble machine learning model aims to bridge the gap between energy harvesting and vibration sensing applications for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and similar piezoceramic materials by enabling one device to perform both functions simultaneously. Two PZT cantilever configurations were tested: one without a tip mass for maximum linearity at low frequencies and one with a tip mass for maximum energy output. The highest absolute prediction error on the testing set is 19% and 7%, respectively. While the R2 score remained nearly 1, the PZT cantilever with the tip mass showed an 11% lower mean absolute error (MAE) and 38% lower mean squared error (MSE) compared to the PZT without, suggesting that PZT cantilevers in energy harvesting configurations can be used to predict acceleration with acceptable accuracy.

A virtual resistance control scheme is proposed for an active state-of-charge (SOC) balancing system within a behind-the-meter-storage (BTMS) battery pack. The proposed control enables the balancing system converters to simultaneously track a reference current while also regulating a shared 12 V bus. This enables the system to balance the cell SOCs while supporting auxiliary system loads on the 12 V bus. The advantage of the virtual resistance technique lies in its robustness to the actual resistances of the system. Without virtual resistance, the reference current tracking and 12 V bus load sharing among the converters would be dictated by the varying resistances between each converter and the 12 V bus, which are unequal and difficult to measure accurately. However, by applying the virtual resistance technique, these differences are negated such that the expected reference current tracking and equal load sharing are achieved.
