We address the problem of safely coordinating a network of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in conflict areas of a traffic network. Such problems can be solved through a combination of tractable optimal control problems and Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) that guarantee the satisfaction of all constraints. These solutions can be reduced to a sequence of Quadratic Programs (QPs) which are efficiently solved online over discrete time steps. However, guaranteeing the feasibility of the CBF-based QP method within each discretized time interval requires the careful selection of time steps which need to be sufficiently small. This creates computational requirements and communication rates between agents which may limit the controller’s application to real CAVs. We tackle this limitation by adopting an event-triggered control approach for CAVs such that the next QP is triggered by properly defined events with a safety guarantee. We present a laboratory-scale test bed developed to emulate merging roadways using mobile robots as CAVs. We present results to demonstrate how the event-triggered scheme is computationally efficient and can handle measurement uncertainties and noise compared to time-driven control while guaranteeing safety.

Bus-clamping Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is an effective method to reduce the switching loss in a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). In bus-clamping PWM scheme, the phase legs are switched using high frequency PWM signals for two-third of the line cycle, while for the remaining duration of cycle, the pole voltage is clamped to either positive or negative rail of the DC bus. In PWM operation of a half bridge, a dead-time is applied between the gate signals of complementary switches to ensure safe and reliable operation. However, introduction of dead-time leads to poor power quality, increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and variation in actual voltage compared to the intended pole voltage. Moreover, when the bus-clamping technique is used, the PWM has both high frequency switching region and clamped region in a line cycle, and consequently, the undesired effects of dead-time are further aggravated. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality of output voltage, this paper presents a dead-time compensation strategy for a VSI operating with bus-clamping PWM. The proposed method calculates the required compensation term to be added on the modulation signal considering wide range of operating conditions. Additionally, the compensation includes a new strategy for low current conditions near zero-crossing to avoid distortion. The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiments in a three-phase VSI with a switching frequency of 100 kHz and a fundamental frequency of 60Hz.

Active power decoupling (APD) circuit is of great importance in single-phase photovoltaic (PV) inverter systems for eliminating the fluctuating power drawn from the PV panel. The control of APD circuit is the key to the power decoupling performance and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency. This paper proposes a control approach for parallel boost type APD circuit with a single sensor, reducing the count of sensors compared to the conventional APD control approach. Operation of the APD circuit with control approach utilizing only the readings from the decoupling capacitor voltage sensor is analyzed in this work. Specifically, controller design for the APD circuit with reduced sensor applicable to a 40 V, 400 W microinverter is presented and experimentally verified with a GaN-based prototype.

This paper presents control system design, implementation, and experimental validation of a single-stage 400 W, 200 kHz solar photovoltaic (PV) microinverter using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and hardware testing. The selected circuit topology is based on a Gallium Nitride (GaN) direct-matrix based dual active bridge (DAB) converter with a low voltage active power decoupler (APD) circuit. Control performance is verified, smart-grid compatibility is tested, and circuit operation is confirmed. Controller HIL (CHIL) is shown to aid in a complex power electronics system design by 1) enabling detailed control development prior to hardware implementation, 2) expanding the use of automated testing, and 3) increasing confidence in control performance prior to prototype testing. Altogether, these factors make HIL a valuable tool in complex power electronic designs.

A DC-DC converter that can handle a lot of different power changes. The experts in this study discovered that adding a fuzzy logic circuit helped the system work better. It makes a big difference in how well and consistently the PV system works that the FLC controls the output power of the converter. Because the FLC works with Microsoft Excel, more people can use this powerful tool for less money and with less trouble. The FLC cuts down on “overshoot,” “settling time,” and steady-state error, as shown in simulations that test how well the controller works. This study may have made it easier for people to start making “fuzzy logic controllers” and make them better. This will have a big effect on how far we get in making energy systems that work better and are more stable. Further investigation could be conducted to determine whether or not these concepts are feasible and how they would enhance the FLC in different types. These DC-DC converters have closed loops in their circuitry.
