From the viewpoint of high quality output voltage generation in a residential photovoltaic system, a multilevel inverter employing cascaded transformers can become a good substitute for the conventional pulse width modulated inverters and other multilevel counterparts. However, to obtain more sinusoidal output voltage waves, it should increase the number of switching devices and transformers resulting in a cost increase. To alleviate this problem, an efficient switching pattern is proposed and applied to a multilevel inverter equipped with two cascaded transformers, which have a series-connected secondary. Operational principle and analysis are illustrated focusing on a change of the switching pattern. High-performance of the proposed multilevel scheme embedded in a photovoltaic power conditioning system is verified by computer-aided simulations and experimental results. 相似文献
Architectures for the selection of levels for thresholding digital images are presented. The architectures are based on an iterative scheme derived by maximizing the variance between regions in the digital image. A new derivation of the iterative scheme is also presented along with a number of examples of image thresholding. 相似文献
This paper describes an efficient algorithm for the parallel solution of systems of linear equations with a block tridiagonal coefficient matrix. The algorithm comprises a multilevel LU-factorization based on block cyclic reduction and a corresponding solution algorithm.
The paper includes a general presentation of the parallel multilevel LU-factorization and solution algorithms, but the main emphasis is on implementation principles for a message passing computer with hypercube topology. Problem partitioning, processor allocation and communication requirement are discussed for the general block tridiagonal algorithm.
Band matrices can be cast into block tridiagonal form, and this special but important problem is dealt with in detail. It is demonstrated how the efficiency of the general block tridiagonal multilevel algorithm can be improved by introducing the equivalent of two-way Gaussian elimination for the first and the last partitioning and by carefully balancing the load of the processors. The presentation of the multilevel band solver is accompanied by detailed complexity analyses.
The properties of the parallel band solver were evaluated by implementing the algorithm on an Intel iPSC hypercube parallel computer and solving a larger number of banded linear equations using 2 to 32 processors. The results of the evaluation include speed-up over a sequential processor, and the measure values are in good agreement with the theoretical values resulting from complexity analysis. It is found that the maximum asymptotic speed-up of the multilevel LU-factorization using p processors and load balancing is approximated well by the expression (p +6)/4.
Finally, the multilevel parallel solver is compared with solvers based on row and column interleaved organization. 相似文献
It is very important for such large-scale application systems as global information systems,GIS,digital libraries,data warehousing to effectively manage and manipulate the large volumes of infor-mation(more than terabytes of data). One of challenge problems is to study massive information man-agement system and related techniques. Since the large volumes of information are mainly stored on ter-tiary storage devices,the study of massive information management system should focus on the follow-ing aspects. (l)the multilevel storage architecture in which the tertiary storage devices are main datamedia and the secondary storage devices are data cache; (2)scalable system architecture of massive in-formation management system; (3)retrieve process techniques. This paper will deeply study and discussthe above oroblems. 相似文献
