This multilevel inverter type summarizes an output voltage of medium based on a series connection power cells employing standard configurations low-voltage components. The main problems cascaded switched-capacitor inverters (CSCMLIs) are the harmful reverse flowing current inductive loads, large number switches, and surge capacitors. As switches increases, reliability decreases. To address thes...

We study the global output tracking problem for a class of nonlinear cascaded systems coupled with a neutrally stable linear exosystem with uncertain parameters. By extending the stabilization results of cascaded nonlinear systems, and overcoming three major technical obstacles, we have come up with a recursive design procedure that leads to the solution of the problem.

Regenerative braking is presented in many electric traction applications such as electric and hybrid vehicles, lifts and railway. The regenerated energy can be stored for future use, increasing the efficiency of the system. This paper outlines the benefits of the MMC (modular multilevel converter) in front of the cascaded or series connection of converters to achieve high voltage from low volta...

Multilevel inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power mediumvoltage energy control. This paper presents the most important topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor), and cascaded multicell with separate dc sources. Emerging topologies like asymmetric hybrid cells and soft-switched ...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate for the first time a hybrid optical packet and wavelength selective switching platform for high-performance data center networks.

Interactive activation accounts of processing have had a broad and deep influence on cognitive psychology, particularly so in the context of computational accounts of reading aloud at the single word level. Here we address the issue of whether such a framework can simulate the joint effects of stimulus quality and word frequency (which have been shown to produce both additive and interactive ef...

Optical switching can be performed by using optical amplifiers combined with a passive waveguiding network. Recently, most of the effort in optical amplifier switch modules have been focused on monolithic switches in which the entire device is fabricated on an InP substrate together with the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). In this paper, we investigate the use of SOAs with passive poly...

Abstract: Support vector machines (SVM) are proposed in order to obtain a robust controller for ship course-keeping. A cascaded system is constructed by combining the dynamics of the rudder actuator with the dynamics of ship motion. Modeling errors and disturbances are taken into account in the plant. A controller with a simple structure is produced by applying an SVM and L2-gain design. The SV...

Hybrid quantum systems integrating semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and atomic vapours become important building blocks for scalable quantum networks due to the complementary strengths of individual parts.
