TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies and their contribution to industrial control applications and two short case studies of Neural Network control systems designs targeting FPGAs are presented.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to review the state-of-the-art of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies and their contribution to industrial control applications. Authors start by addressing various research fields which can exploit the advantages of FPGAs. The features of these devices are then presented, followed by their corresponding design tools. To illustrate the benefits of using FPGAs in the case of complex control applications, a sensorless motor controller has been treated. This controller is based on the Extended Kalman Filter. Its development has been made according to a dedicated design methodology, which is also discussed. The use of FPGAs to implement artificial intelligence-based industrial controllers is then briefly reviewed. The final section presents two short case studies of Neural Network control systems designs targeting FPGAs.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the use of the high-level synthesis (HLS) tool to design field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based Quaternion Least Mean Square (QLMS) filters.
Abstract: In this paper, it is explored the use of the high-level synthesis (HLS) tool to design field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based Quaternion Least Mean Square (QLMS) filters. The QLMS behaviour is modelled in system level C-code, and performance criteria, such as parallelism level and timing closure requirements, set through specific directives. The design outcome is a synthesizable hardware description model of the QLMS filter, and its implementation performance is evaluated for different data type representations. The results demonstrate that HLS is a framework that allows rapid design development and efficient FPGA implementation and opens the hyper complex filters hardware design to a larger design community.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show how odour recognition can be implemented for AMD Xilinx's System-on-Chip boards, using Tensorflow to train a convolutional neural network.
Abstract: As more and more potential applications are iden-tified for electronic noses, the need arises to have portable platforms that can perform odour recognition in-place. Although there have been many experiments with electronic noses, the vast majority of them were done in a laboratory environment. Methods for portable e-nose systems are needed that are capable of handling the complex pattern recognition algorithms of odour recognition. In this paper we show how odour recognition can be implemented for AMD Xilinx's System-on-Chip boards. TensorFlow was used to train a convolutional neural network on two different datasets. The neural network was also implemented in C++, and Vitis HLS was used to translate that to an RTL design. We show that this workflow is a valid way to create a portable electronic nose system.

TL;DR: The paper shows how the use of FCS-MPC provides a simple and efficient computational realization for different control objectives in Power Electronics.
Abstract: This paper addresses to some of the latest contributions on the application of Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) in Power Electronics. In FCS-MPC , the switching states are directly applied to the power converter, without the need of an additional modulation stage. The paper shows how the use of FCS-MPC provides a simple and efficient computational realization for different control objectives in Power Electronics. Some applications of this technology in drives, active filters, power conditioning, distributed generation and renewable energy are covered. Finally, attention is paid to the discussion of new trends in this technology and to the identification of open questions and future research topics.

TL;DR: The most successful generator-converter configurations are addressed along with few promising topologies available in the literature from the market based survey, and the past, present and future trends in megawatt WECS are reviewed in terms of mechanical and electrical technologies, integration to power systems, and control theory.
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the state-of-the-art and emerging wind energy technologies from the electrical engineering perspective. In an attempt to decrease cost of energy, increase the wind energy conversion efficiency, reliability, power density, and comply with the stringent grid codes, the electric generators and power electronic converters have emerged in a rigorous manner. From the market based survey, the most successful generator-converter configurations are addressed along with few promising topologies available in the literature. The back-to-back connected converters, passive generator-side converters, converters for multiphase generators, and converters without intermediate dc-link are investigated for high-power wind energy conversion systems (WECS), and presented in low and medium voltage category. The onshore and offshore wind farm configurations are analyzed with respect to the series/parallel connection of wind turbine ac/dc output terminals, and high voltage ac/dc transmission. The fault-ride through compliance methods used in the induction and synchronous generator based WECS are also discussed. The past, present and future trends in megawatt WECS are reviewed in terms of mechanical and electrical technologies, integration to power systems, and control theory. The important survey results, and technical merits and demerits of various WECS electrical systems are summarized by tables. The list of current and future wind turbines are also provided along with technical details.

TL;DR: The state of the art in the area of enterprise systems as they relate to industrial informatics is surveyed, highlighting formal methods and systems methods crucial for modeling complex enterprise systems, which poses unique challenges.
Abstract: Rapid advances in industrial information integration methods have spurred tremendous growth in the use of enterprise systems. Consequently, a variety of techniques have been used for probing enterprise systems. These techniques include business process management, workflow management, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), grid computing, and others. Many applications require a combination of these techniques, which is giving rise to the emergence of enterprise systems. Development of the techniques has originated from different disciplines and has the potential to significantly improve the performance of enterprise systems. However, the lack of powerful tools still poses a major hindrance to exploiting the full potential of enterprise systems. In particular, formal methods and systems methods are crucial for modeling complex enterprise systems, which poses unique challenges. In this paper, we briefly survey the state of the art in the area of enterprise systems as they relate to industrial informatics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the history of power converter control with an emphasis on the more recent introduction of predictive control, and give a glimpse on the challenges and possibilities ahead.
Abstract: The evolution of power electronics and its control has been mainly driven by industry applications and influenced by the development achieved in several technologies, such as power semiconductors, converter topologies, automatic control, and analog and digital electronics. Digital signal processors (DSPs), in particular, have experienced an exponential development in processing power, which until now has not been fully exploited for control purposes in power converters and drive applications. Presently, the control system technology finds itself in a paradigm-changing tipping point, in which more demanding control goals, system flexibility, and functionalities required by emerging applications are driving the control system technology development, in addition to stabilization and robustness, which was the main focus in the past. This article walks briefly through the history of the mainstream power converter control scene, with an emphasis on the more recent introduction of predictive control, and gives a glimpse on the challenges and possibilities ahead. Special attention is given to finite control set (FCS)-model predictive control (MPC), because of its simplicity, flexibility, inherent adaptation to power electronic circuits and their discrete nature, both in the finite amount of switching states and the digital implementation with microprocessors.
