Multiobjective Vector Modulation for Improved Control of NPC-Based Multi-Source Inverters in Hybrid Traction Systems

The concept of a multi-source inverter (MSI) based on NPC topology was recently introduced for hybrid-electric powertrains to connect several dc sources to the traction load in a single conversion stage without magnetics. This work proposes a new modulatio ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wave ...

Shape changes through geometric nonlinear control as a strategy for structural adaptation

Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures modify their geometry and internal forces through sensing and mechanical actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous work has shown that well-conceived adaptive design strategies achieve substanti ...

Design of structures that adapt to loads through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures can modify their geometry and internal forces through sensing and mechanical actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous work has shown that well-conceived adaptive design strategies achieve subst ...

Synthesis of minimum energy adaptive structures

Gennaro Senatore

This paper presents the formulation of a new methodology to design adaptive structures. This design method synthesises structural configurations that are optimum hybrids between a passive and an active structure. An optimisation scheme searches for an opti ...

Functional Description and Control Design of Modular Multilevel Converters : Towards Energy Storage Applications for Traction Networks

Nicolas Cherix

The security of supply is becoming an important concern in the energy supply of the railway networks operated at 16.7â Hz. This situation calls for the improvement of the interconnection with the 50â Hz grid and creates a need for ancillary services, esp ...

Enabling Speech Applications using Ad Hoc Microphone Arrays

Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

Microphone arrays are central players in hands-free speech interface applications. The main duty of a microphone array is capturing distant-talking speech with high quality. A microphone array can acquire the desired speech signals selectively by leading t ...
