Study on maximum power point tracking of photovoltaic array in irregular shadow

Traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods can hardly find global maximum power point (MPP) because output characteristics curve of photovoltaic (PV) array may have multi local maximum power points in irregular shadow, and thus easily fall into the local maximum power point. To address this drawback, Considering that sliding mode variable structure (SMVS) control strategy have such advantages as simple structure, fast response and strong robustness, and P&O method have the advantages of simple principle and convenient implementation, so a new algorithm combining SMVS control method and P&O method is proposed, besides, PI controller is applied to reduce system chattering caused by switching sliding surface. It is applied to MPPT control of PV array in irregular shadow to solve the problem of multi-peak optimization in partial shadow. In order to verity the rationality of the proposed algorithm, the experimental circuit is built, which achieves MPPT control by means of the proposed algorithm and P&O method. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional P&O algorithm, the proposed algorithm can fast track the global MPP, tracking speed increases by 60% and the relative error decreased by 20%. Moreover, the system becomes more stable near the MPP, the fluctuations of output power is greatly reduced, and thus make full use of solar energy.

Improving CNC contouring accuracy by robust digital integral sliding mode control

Integral sliding mode control (ISMC) has been employed and shown to improve contouring accuracy in the presence of external disturbances and model uncertainties. An ISMC controller directly reduces the tracking errors of each individual axis, thereby reducing the overall contour errors indirectly. An ISMC controller drives the system dynamics back onto the sliding surface if there exists a deviation from the predefined surface. In the design of an ISMC controller, it is crucial to choose an appropriate sliding surface as this has a great impact on system performance and on chattering. In current approaches, the sliding surface is chosen largely based on a rule of thumb which is only applicable for systems with open-loop poles having imaginary parts. In this paper, an approach is presented to design the sliding surface using principles of robust digital control so that both the regulation and robustness requirements can be satisfied. The natural frequency of the dominant closed-loop poles is chosen such that the modulus of the output sensitivity function lies within the robustness bounds. Resonant pole-zero filters are then used to reshape the output sensitivity function in specific frequency regions. Experiments showed that when the modulus of the output sensitivity function is kept within the robustness bounds, chattering can be avoided and the contour errors resulting from vibrations can be reduced. The introduction of a resonant pole-zero filter also allowed the attenuation band to be expanded so that the low frequency components of the contour errors are attenuated.     

Validation of an integral sliding mode control for optimal control of a three blade variable speed variable pitch wind turbine

Reduction in cost of wind energy requires most efficient control technology which can able to extract optimum power from the wind. This paper mainly focuses on the control of variable speed variable pitch wind turbine (VSVPWT) for maximization of extracted power at below rated wind speed (region 2) and regulation of extracted power when operating at above rated wind speed (region 3). To extract maximum power at below rated wind speed torque control is used whereas to regulate rated power at above rated wind speed pitch control is used. In this paper a nonlinear control i.e. integral sliding mode control (ISMC) is proposed for region 2 whereas a conventional proportional–integral (PI) control is adapted for region 3 of a VSVPWT. The proposed controller is combined with modified Newton Raphson (MNR) wind speed estimator to estimate the wind speed. The stability of the proposed ISMC is analyzed using Lyapunov stability criterion and the control law is derived for region 2 which is also adapted for the transition period between region 2 and region 3 (region 2.5). The dynamic simulations are tested with nonlinear FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) wind turbine (WT). The simulation results of ISMC are presented and the control performance is compared with conventional SMC and existing controllers such as aerodynamic torque feed forward control (ATF) and Indirect speed control (ISC). It is seen that especially in region 2.5, ISMC gives better performance compared to all other controllers.

Capturing Preservice Chemistry Teachers’ Visual Representations of Redox Reactions through Storyboards

This study aimed to identify preservice chemistry teachers’ understanding of redox reactions at the submicroscopic level and how they make connections to macroscopic level. Twenty‐five preservice chemistry teachers first viewed a video of a redox reaction happening between a zinc wire and a copper(II) sulfate solution, then they reflected on their macroscopic observations, and generated storyboards (a sequence of drawings) representing this reaction at the submicroscopic level. Both the reflections and the storyboards were coded, and the categories reflecting the participants’ levels of understanding were determined. Results showed that the participants usually identified the macroscopic evidences, but they had conceptual difficulties in interpreting and representing evidences at the submicroscopic level. Few participants indicated a scientific or a moderate understanding of redox reactions, whereas the majority exhibited either weak or alternative understanding of redox reactions.

Interval analysis of mode shapes to identify damage in beam structures

Various damage detection methods have been proposed by several researchers in the past few decades. Amongst them, the efficiency of mode shapes in detecting damage has been demonstrated by many researchers when further processed. In most cases, the processing involves expansion or reduction of the mode shape data. However, vital information that are damage-prints are often lost during processing of the mode shape data. In addition, most of these processes involve long and complex computation, thus, leading to inaccurate damage identification. In this study, a simple and fast damage identification technique is proposed to identify damage in beam structures. Interval analysis is applied to the mode shapes of a beam structure in the damaged and undamaged states. The interval situations of each of the beam's segment via mode shape are derived to obtain the upper and lower bounds and the derived bounds are compared. To establish a relationship for identify the damaged point, a possibility of damage existence is defined for each segment of the beam structure. The mode shape increment is defined as the increase in the mode shape value. Furthermore, a damage measure index that provide enhance damage information is obtained as the product of the possibility of damage existence and mode shape increment. A numerical model of a simply supported steel beam is applied to demonstrate this method by imposing damage through thickness reduction of elements in segments. In addition, a parametric analysis is carried out to evaluate noise effect by considering varying damage severities and different noise levels. The results showed that this method is simple and provides considerable accurate results.
