The performance of small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is easily degraded by exogenous disturbances. In an attempt to improve the performance, the structural change is made in conventional small fixed-wing UAV through segmentation of each aileron control surface into multiples. Detailed system identification experiments are performed on each aileron pair in the wind tunnel to acquire linear dynamic models for the roll attitude of the UAV. These experiments have provided the transfer...

The magnetic linked multiport converter (MLMC) has high degree of control flexibility and can be operated as an effective interface for renewable energy integration to the traditional power grid and electric vehicle charging. Unlike the traditional magnetic linked dual port converters, the MLMC provides multiple ports, which share a common magnetic link. The MLMC has soft-switching ability, ensures galvanic isolation, and facilitates high-density power transmission. For the robust and effective ...

Platform Releases Also Include a New Medical Imaging Toolbox that Delivers End-to-End Medical Image Analysis Workflow.

The focal point of this research is to increase the usage of solar energy for charging electric vehicles by using a coordinated control of the power distribution system.

The technical challenges of large-scale integration of rooftop solar PV systems is a major concern for distribution network service providers (DNSPs) due to bidirectional power flow and voltage regulation issues. Energy storage devices have the potential to mitigate these adverse effects by storing excess energy during the day and providing peak shaving support at peak load. This paper presents a two-level dual-objective model predictive control (MPC) based algorithm to control DNSP owned commun...

This paper considers energy delivery by a Hybrid Access Point (HAP) to one or more Radio Frequency (RF)-energy harvesting devices. Unlike prior works, it considers imperfect and causal Channel State Information (CSI), and probabilistic constraints that ensure devices receive their required amount of energy over a given planning horizon. To this end, it outlines two novel contributions. The first is a chance-constrained program, which is then solved using a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) cou...
