The class of Deterministic Conditional Term Rewriting Systems (DCTRSs) is of utmost importance for the tight relationships exhibited with functional programming, logic programming and inductive reasoning. However, its analysis is extremely diicult, and to date there are only very few works on the subject, each analyzing a particular aspect of DCTRSs. In this paper, we perform a thorough analysi...

⎯ A thermoelectric energy scavenging microsystem is proposed, optimized to convert the small thermal power available in human-body applications. A Lithium solid-state thin-film battery is integrated in the same device as well as the ultra low-power electronics to charge battery and perform DC-DC conversion.

Dc-dc converters suitable for use in battery-powered electronic equipment with energy management are discussed. To realize the benefits of energy management, these converters must be capable of maintaining regulation of their output voltages at no load, while maintaining high efficiency. Variable frequency operation is shown to give an improvement in efficient operating range of approximately t...

This paper presents the three phase AC/DC converter drive effects on the linearity of the Torque-speed characteristics. A MATLAB/Simulink realization of the three phase AC/DC converter drive is described. The DC motor speed control is achieved by controlling the voltage applied to the armature circuit using three phase AC/DC converter drive. A comparison between the application of three phase s...

In this paper, a robust Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for PV array has been proposed using sliding mode control by defining a new formulation for sliding surface which is based on increment conductance (INC) method. The stability and robustness of the proposed controller are investigated to load variations and environment changes. Three different types of DC-DC converter are used in Maxim...

This study examined the step-down DC-DC converter with high-efficiency appropriate for hybrid vehicles. The above described converter supplies power to electronic components such as headlights and air conditioners by replacing an electric generator of an internal combustion engine and converting the high voltage of a main battery to low voltage (12 V). In this study, the development specificati...

In this paper, a multiphase sliding mode (MPSM) control method with a master–slave structure is proposed and analyzed in order to suppress ripples at input terminals or output terminals in DC/DC converter applications. With the proposed MPSM, the switching frequency of a multiphase DC/DC converter does not need to be operating such a high switching frequency as adopted in a conventional sliding...
