Simulation Of Grid-Connected Solar Micro-Inverter Based On Fuzzy Pi Controller And Feed-Forward Compensation, Weiliang Liu, Changliang Liu, Huichao Zhang, Yongjun Lin, Liangyu Ma

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Grid-connected solar micro-inverter is a highly nonlinear and time-varying system, so it is difficult to achieve good control effect using traditional PI controller. Small signal analysis model of micro-inverter was established, grid-connected current control strategy composed of fuzzy PI controller and grid voltage feed-forward was put forward, and the initial parameters of PI controller was optimized using the genetic algorithm. Simulation results show that the control strategy has the virtues of good robustness, small dynamic deviation, and could reduce the harmonic content of grid-connected current.

Simulation On Superframe Transmission Mechanism In Wireless Sensor Networks, Hairong Yan, Yufei Wei, Zhang Yan, Xie Yue, He Kai

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: At present, studies on real-time performance and reliability of WSN are mostly based on the performance analysis, protocol optimization or mathematical modeling with IEEE 802.15.4 standard MAC Protocol. However, there is no concern about the large impact on the network real-time and reliability caused by duration of the competitive access control phase (CAP) and non-competitive access control stage (CFP) in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard superframe structure. To solve these problems, a MAC layer superframe mechanism simulation algorithm was designed and implemented to simulate the IEEE802.15.4 standard MAC-layer superframe mechanism by establishing a state machine model. This design also built …

Evaluating The Potential Of Drone Swarms In Nonverbal Hri Communication, Kasper Grispino, Damian Lyons, Truong-Huy Nguyen

Faculty Publications

Human-to-human communications are enriched with affects and emotions, conveyed, and perceived through both verbal and nonverbal communication. It is our thesis that drone swarms can be used to communicate information enriched with effects via nonverbal channels: guiding, generally interacting with, or warning a human audience via their pattern of motions or behavior. And furthermore that this approach has unique advantages such as flexibility and mobility over other forms of user interface. In this paper, we present a user study to understand how human participants perceived and interpreted swarm behaviors of micro-drone Crazyflie quadcopters flying three different flight formations to bridge …


Stacked Convolutional Recurrent Auto-Encoder For Noise Reduction In Eeg, Eoghan Keegan 2020 Technological University Dublin

Stacked Convolutional Recurrent Auto-Encoder For Noise Reduction In Eeg, Eoghan Keegan

Dissertations

Electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used to record electrical potentials in the brain by attaching electrodes to the scalp. However, these low amplitude recordings are susceptible to noise which originates from several sources including ocular, pulse and muscle artefacts. Their presence has a severe impact on analysis and diagnoses of brain abnormalities. This research assessed the effectiveness of a stacked convolutional-recurrent auto-encoder (CR-AE) for noise reduction of EEG signal. Performance was evaluated using the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in comparison to principal component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA) and a simple auto-encoder (AE). The Harrell-Davis quantile …

Research Method For Integrating Subjective And Objective Information In Evaluating Quality Level Of Journals, Zhang Quan, Wen Xin, Liping Yu, Jia Wei

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The evaluation of the quality level of academic journals was investigated. In order to overcome the drawbacks of current methods which made uses of only the subjective evaluation information or the objective information on the journals, a comprehensive evaluation method was proposed for integrating both the decision makers' subjective information and the objective information. The decision makers' subjective evaluation information was expressed in some grade, grade interval, or a fuzzy set over a grade evaluation set. The objective information of journals was reflected by the numerical attributes, such as, the total citation frequency, impact factor and immediacy …


Sharing And Organizing Research Products As R Packages, Matti Vuorre, Matthew J. C. Crump 2020 University of Oxford

Sharing And Organizing Research Products As R Packages, Matti Vuorre, Matthew J. C. Crump

Publications and Research

A consensus on the importance of open data and reproducible code is emerging. How should data and code be shared to maximize the key desiderata of reproducibility, permanence, and accessibility? Research assets should be stored persistently in formats that are not software restrictive, and documented so that others can reproduce and extend the required computations. The sharing method should be easy to adopt by already busy researchers. We suggest the R package standard as a solution for creating, curating, and communicating research assets. The R package standard, with extensions discussed herein, provides a format for assets and metadata that satisfies …

The digital communication and radar community has recently manifested more interest in using data-driven approaches for tasks such as modulation recognition, channel estimation and distortion correction. In this research we seek to apply an object detector for parameter estimation to perform waveform separation in the time and frequency domain prior to classification. This enables the full automation of detecting and classifying simultaneously occurring waveforms. We leverage a lD ResNet implemented by O'Shea et al. in [1] and the YOLO v3 object detector designed by Redmon et al. in [2]. We conducted an in depth study of the performance of these …

Direct Digital Synthesis: A Flexible Architecture For Advanced Signals Research For Future Satellite Navigation Payloads, Pranav R. Patel

Theses and Dissertations

In legacy Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellite Navigation (SatNav) payloads, the architecture does not provide the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances and environments. GPS SatNav payloads have largely remained unchanged since the system became fully operational in April 1995. Since then, the use of GPS has become ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives. GPS availability is now a basic assumption for distributed infrastructure; it has become inextricably tied to our national power grids, cellular networks, and global financial systems. Emerging advancements of easy to use radio technologies, such as software-defined radios (SDRs), have greatly lowered the difficulty of discovery and …
