Modeling and control of magnet power supply system with switch-moderipple regulator

This paper presents the dynamic performance analysis and closed-loop design of a new power supply system for a high-current magnet load. This new system introduces a series switch-mode ripple regulator (SMRR) into a phase-controlled rectifier to improve system dynamic response and to reduce the harmonic content in the magnet current. In this paper, the new system control configuration is explained. The small signal dynamic model is established. The function of the SMRR as a speed-up feed-forward path during dynamic transients is assessed. The criteria of the closed-loop regulator design are identified. The theoretical analyses are accompanied by computer simulation and experimental results. The systematical design procedure is outlined by an example which offers better performance than ever reported on high-current magnet power supplies in terms of fast dynamic response (closed-loop bandwidth several kHz) and low harmonic content (less than 10 ppm) in the magnet current     

The influence of heat-treatment on the current-voltage behavior of the ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistors

The post-sintering heat treatment on the current-voltage behavior of the ZnO-Bi₂O₃ based varistors is reported. It is suggested that only phase transition of the Bi₂O₃ is not alone responsible for the resulting electrical performance by these devices. The ambient condition influences the performance parameters. Thus, incorporating the role of oxygen and zinc interstitial in the total device during the post-sintering heat-treatment is accounted as responsible parameters for the ultimate performance. Two recipes are used in demonstrating the effect of heat-treatment on the functional behavior of the devices.     

Admittance—Frequency Response in Zinc Oxide Varistor Ceramics

The lumped parameter/complex plane analysis technique revealed several contributions to the terminal admittance of the ZnO—Bi₂O₃ based varistor grain-boundary ac response. The terminal capacitance has been elucidated via the multiple trapping phenomena, a barrier layer polarization, and a resonance effect in the frequency range 10⁻²≤ f ≤ 10⁹ Hz. The characterization of the trapping relaxation behavior near ∼ 10⁵ Hz (∼ 10⁻⁶ s) provided a better understanding of a previously reported loss-peak. The possible nonuniformity in this trapping activity associated with its conductance term observed via the depression angle of a semicircular relaxation in the complex capacitance ( C *) plane has been postulated.

Discrete‐time output feedback for Markov jump systems with uncertain transition probabilities

This article addresses the output feedback control for discrete‐time Markov jump linear systems. With fully known transition probability, sufficient conditions for an internal model based controller design are obtained. For the case where the transition probabilities are uncertain and belong to a convex polytope with known vertices, we provide a sufficient LMI condition that guarantees the norm of the closed‐loop system is below a prescribed level. That condition can be improved through an iterative procedure. Additionally, we are able to deal with the case of cluster availability of the Markov mode, provided that some system matrices do not vary within a given cluster, an assumption that is suitable to deal with packet dropout models for networked control systems. A numerical example shows the applicability of the design and compares it with previous results. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Lattice-Boltzmann Method on Optimal Sampling Lattices

In this paper, we extend the single relaxation time Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) to the 3D body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice. We show that the D3bQ15 lattice defined by a 15 neighborhood connectivity of the BCC lattice is not only capable of more accurately discretizing the velocity space of the continuous Boltzmann equation as compared to the D3Q15 Cartesian lattice, it also achieves a comparable spatial discretization with 30 percent less samples. We validate the accuracy of our proposed lattice by investigating its performance on the 3D lid-driven cavity flow problem and show that the D3bQ15 lattice offers significant cost savings while maintaining a comparable accuracy. We demonstrate the efficiency of our method and the impact on graphics and visualization techniques via the application of line-integral convolution on 2D slices as well as the extraction of streamlines of the 3D flow. We further study the benefits of our proposed lattice by applying it to the problem of simulating smoke and show that the D3bQ15 lattice yields more detail and turbulence at a reduced computational cost.
