Model-Driven Design (MDD) of cyber-physical systems advocates for design procedures that start with formal modeling of the real-time system, followed by the model’s verification at an early stage. The verified model must then be translated to a more detailed model for simulation-based testing and finally translated into executable code in a physical implementation. As later stages build on the same core model, it is essential that models used earlier in the pipeline are valid approximations of the more detailed models developed downstream. The focus of this effort is on the design and development of a model translation tool, UPP2SF, and …

Practical log-domain filter circuits might have multiple operating points in regions in which the translinear element does not obey the exponential law. In this paper, a method is proposed to implement any filter by a log-domain circuit that necessarily has a unique operating point. Any state-space description of the filter is shown to have an equivalent description that can be implemented by such a circuit. This methodology is applied to the synthesis of multiple-input translinear element (MITE) filters. As an example, shifted-companion-form (SCF) filters are synthesized. Further, it is proved that the resulting filters have a unique operating point.

Modeling And Simulation Of Z-Source Inverter, Suresh L Jan 2012

Modeling And Simulation Of Z-Source Inverter, Suresh L

Z – source inverters have been recently proposed as an alternative power conversion concept as they have both voltage buck and boost capabilities. These inverters use a unique impedance network, coupled between the power source and converter circuit, to provide both voltage buck and boost properties, which cannot be achieved with conventional voltage source and current source inverters. To facilitate understanding of Z – source inverter, this paper presents a detailed analysis, showing design of impedance network, implementation of simple Boost control PWM technique and simulation of Z – source inverter for different values of modulation indices.

Electrical machines are devices that change either mechanical or electrical energy to the other and also can alternate the voltage levels of an alternating current. The need for electrical machines cannot be overemphasized since they are used in various applications in the world today. Its design is to meet the specifications as stated by the user and this design has to be an economical one. The design therefore revolves around designing the machine to meet the stipulated performance required, the cost available and the lasting life of the machine. This work aims to eliminate the tediousness involved in the manual …
