This paper presents the online identification method for interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drive system with the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA). The inductances of the motor are identified by recursive least square (RLS) method based on mathematical model, considering the flux saturation state. Using this technique, the improvement of the MTPA trajectory for IPMSM can be implemented along with the effect of magnetic flux. This final paper presents an idea and a procedure of the proposed algorithm. The simulation results are carried out and presented.

FMCW radar has been proposed in the literature as a reader for long distance transponders for wireless local positioning systems and sensing. One of the major challenges for positioning and for RFID systems are the disturbances due to multipath propagation. In addition, low-cost FMCW radars are often based on homodyne receivers, where the minimum measurement distance is limited by the transmitter coupling and the phase noise interference in the low-frequency band of the spectrum. To mitigate these problems, backscatter transponders have been proposed. This works presents an actively-controlled frequency selective surface (FSS) to implement a backscatter transponder at X band. The FSS is composed by dipoles loaded with PIN diodes which act as switching elements. The transponder exploits the change in the radar cross section (RCS) of the FSS to modulate the field illuminated by the FMCW radar. This change is performed varying the bias of the diodes. The basic operation theory of the system will be described. An experimental setup based on a commercial 9.25–10.75 GHz FMCW radar working as a reader is proposed to measure the transponders. The transponder response can be distinguished from the interference of non-modulated clutter, modulating the transponder's RCS. Some FSS with different number of dipoles are studied, as a proof of concept. Measurements at several distances are provided with a 10 dipoles prototype. The tag distance can be obtained from the frequency offset between the peaks around the modulating frequency. The standard deviation error is 12 cm.

This paper proposes a method for planning a team of mobile robots such that they accomplish a set of tasks. The environment and the movement capabilities of mobile robots are represented by a Petri net model. Each task is located in a given location and its accomplishment requires a certain number of robots to be present in that place. The order for serving the tasks and firing count vectors for the model result from solving an Integer Linear Programming optimization. Structural properties of the Petri net model allow us to develop an algorithm that produces robot strategies composed from movements, waiting and task serving.
Nowadays, it is expected that mobility loads such as electric railways and electric vehicles will be penetrated gradually and affect on the power system stability by their load characteristics. Various researches have...

A discrete-time current controller is presented for the current loop of the permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. Firstly, the difference equations of current errors are obtained for constant reference values. Then, a dead-beat controller is designed to drive the dq-axes currents to the desired values. Discrete-time integral action with an anti-windup scheme is added to the dead-beat structure to achieve a better steady-state behaviour. In order to improve the transient properties of the controller, a current prediction scheme based on dead-beat structure is also introduced to the controller. Finally, the proposed controller is implemented through numerical simulations to illustrate the effectiveness for both transient and steady-state responses.

This paper presents an open-source Matlab-based interactive software tool for teaching mobile robotics in introductory courses. In particular, it deals with the subjects: modeling, path planning, and motion control. This simulator offers the advantage of testing different aspects related to these fundamental topics and instantly seeing the result in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). This fact leads to a high realism in interactivity, while no previous knowledge in Matlab or programming is required. Additionally, it constitutes an easily scalable tool, the GUI has been properly designed with just one single window with straightforward and intuitive buttons, icons, and figures. Some illustrative examples demonstrate the benefits of the proposed simulator.

Time-up and Go Test (TUGT) is a common clinical motility test for the elderly. Currently it is measured manually, which is human resource consuming, less accurate, and limited in capability of measuring sophisticated parameters. In this paper, we propose a system consisting of three inertial-sensor-based measuring components, a remote controller, and an analysis software for automatic balance and gait analysis in TUGT. This system is designed to be of easy use with the software automatically measuring the time intervals of stand-up time, sit-down time, and the total time of test. In addition, the system can also obtain the gait information of stride time, swing time, and stance time. To validate the system, we compared the performance with that obtained from stopwatch using videos as the gold standard. The results indicate that the system not only provides a convenient way of measurement but also achieves higher accurate and reliable measurement results than using stopwatch. We use this system to compare the Alzheimer's disease patients (ADs) with health controllers (HCs). The results show that the ADs need longer stand-up time, sit-down time, and total time while taking the TUGT compared to the HCs. The stride time, swing time, and stance time are also longer than the HCs'. Such a friendly system provides high potential in tracking long-time patterns for diagnosis.

The paper proposes a simple Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controller for an anaerobic digestion process. A fifth order nonlinear model of the anaerobic digestion process is first presented. A second order linear model of the process is next proposed, and the parameters of the linear model are obtained from an optimization problem solved by a Gravitational Search Algorithm. A PI controller is designed for the linear process model using a frequency domain approach in terms of imposing the phase margin. The Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controller is designed on the basis of the linear PI controller. The Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controller is validated by simulation using the nonlinear process model in the fuzzy controlsystem.

Single Line to Ground (SLG) faults in non-effectively grounded networks are difficult to detect. Immune to neutral point grounding type, load conditions and system operation conditions, traveling-wave based method is an effective fault line identification method. However, due to the strong coupling between the double-circuit lines, the wavefront magnitude of them are the same, and the polarity of them are opposite. Thus, the mal-identification will be resulted under such condition. This paper analyzed the traveling wave characteristics of double-circuit lines, and proposed an improved fault line identification method based on the initial process of zero sequence currents and voltage traveling waves. Tests show that, the proposed method has high effectiveness in fault line identification of double-circuit lines in distribution networks.
