Inverters are a bridge for DC resources that want to supply AC loads. They can be connected to different resources such as batteries or solar panel on their DC side, and through their AC terminal, get connected to different type of AC loads and supply them. Due to high flexibility in the layout design of multilevel inverters, these inverters are used widely in various applications. One of the most common applications of multi-level inverters is in microgrids, where DC resources with different characteristics and most probably, unstable voltage exists. In general voltage output of inverters, are problematic and might be not close to an ideal sinusoid. Using different types of resources for connecting them to DC side of inverters, cause different harmonics that their amplitude and THD changes in the different situation. Considering real-world DC resources, where their voltage might change suddenly or over time, the problem of controlling harmonics and THD dynamically is more significant. In this paper for overcoming these harmonics under instability, a new comprehensive algorithm has been introduced by using closed-loop PI controller in multi-carrier power width modulation switching that can control the selected harmonics, or lower the produced THD, in both steady DC voltage and unstable situations such as voltage unbalancing of DC resources.

Context: Open Government Data (OGD) represent an invaluable resource for enabling active citizenship. A significant example is represented by the mandatory data that Italian public administrations (PAs) are required to publish concerning their contracts. Nevertheless, a low quality of data provided by PAs could hamper the prospect of citizen involvement. Goal: Our objective is to define a set of basic metrics for public contracts OGD on the basis of the ISO SQuaRE standards family, with the goal of enabling the automated evaluation of dataset quality. Method: We started with the metrics defined in the ISO 25024 standard and adapted them to the data schema of the OGD under evaluation. We assessed the results by looking at the issues revealed by the metrics applied to the data released by a pool of PAs. Results: We were able to define a set of metrics, and apply them to to the datasets released by 12 distinct organizations. The metrics allowed us to identify several quality issues that limit the reuse of OGD from the citizen perspective. Conclusions: The metrics we develop are able to identify quality issues and are suitable to perform an initial automated assessment of OGD datasets. This exercise also support the generality of the ISO 25024 quality measures.

While the opening of data has become a common practice for both governments and companies, many datasets are still not published since they might violate privacy regulations. The risk on privacy violations is a factor that often blocks the publication of data and results in a reserved attitude of governments and companies. Additionally, even published data, which might seem privacy compliant, can violate user privacy due to the leakage of real user identities. This paper proposes a privacy risk scoring model for open data architectures to analyse and reduce the risks associated with the opening of data. The key elements consist of a new set of open data attributes reflecting privacy risks versus benefits trades-offs. Further, these attributes are evaluated using a decision engine and a scoring matrix intro a privacy risk indicator (PRI) and a privacy risk mitigation measure (PRMM). Privacy Risk Indicator (PRI) represents the predicted value of privacy risks associated with opening such data and privacy risk mitigation measures represent the measurements need to be applied on the data to avoid the expected privacy risks. The model is exemplified through five real use cases concerning open datasets.
