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 functions for the aileron control surfaces based on corresponding frequency response. Three distinc...

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 operation of the MLMC, the voltages at the multiple ports should be perfectly balanced under rapid l...

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 community energy storage devices in LV residential distribution feeders. The proposed control method consi...
