In this study, an 80-160 kV, 200 W high voltage power supply is designed and implemented. To overcome the insulation restrictions of the transformer used in the high voltage power supply, a resonant converter and a voltage multiplier circuit were used consecutively for the voltage boosting process. To utilize the parasitic capacitor of transformer becoming dominant due to the high turn ratio, an LCC type series-parallel resonant converter is used as the resonant converter. An optimization algorithm that optimizes efficiency and power density is developed to determine the resonant tank parameters. Bipolar Cockcroft-Walton Voltage Multiplier as the voltage multiplier is preferred due to the advantages of less secondary winding and lower voltage drop. The high voltage power supply design is verified with simulations and experimental results.

In this paper, we address the safety verification problem of switched linear dynamical systems under arbitrary switching via barrier functions. Our approach is based on a notion of path-complete barrier functions, which utilizes a collection of barrier functions associated with a directed labeled graph that can encode all the possible switching sequences. We show that path-complete barrier functions effectively generalize notions of common and multiple barrier functions studied in existing literature, and can potentially provide less conservative conditions for safety verification. We demonstrate that, for switched linear systems, the inequalities imposed via path-complete barrier functions can be easily encoded into simple linear matrix inequalities under some assumptions on the regions of interest and appropriately chosen templates for the barrier functions. We also study the relationship between path-complete barrier functions and common barrier functions, and show that for any path-complete graph with an admissible path-complete barrier function, one can derive a suitable (possibly non-smooth) common barrier function by utilizing the path-complete barrier function. Finally, we utilize several examples to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach, and briefly discuss the challenges that lay foundations for future research.

We study stochastic policy gradient methods from the perspective of control-theoretic limitations. Our main result is that ill-conditioned linear systems in the sense of Doyle inevitably lead to noisy gradient estimates. We also give an example of a class of stable systems in which policy gradient methods suffer from the curse of dimensionality. Finally, we show how our results extend to partially observed systems.

The present manuscript introduces a classification for power take-off (PTO) diagnosis in Wave Energy Converter (WEC) farms. The suggested strategy has been tested on the Mutriku Multiple Oscillating Water Column-based wave power plant in order to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) by implementing predictive maintenance strategies. This has been achieved by employing Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to determine the furthermost relevant features from the measured data. Then the Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been implemented as a classification technique to classify the state of the OWC system.
