An EOQ Model for Items with Weibull Distribution Deterioration

Abstract: This paper presents an improved inventory model for deteriorating items with partial backlogging. Two-parameter Weibull distribution is used to represent the distribution of time to deterioration. It is appropriate for an item with decreasing rate of deterioration only if the initial rate of deterioration is extremely high. This distribution can also be used for an item with increasing rate of deterioration only if the initial rate is approximately zero. The theory for finding the optimal solution of the problem is developed. A numerical example is then taken to illustrate the solution procedure.

Comparison of P&O and hill climbing MPPT methods for grid-connected PV converter

Abstract: Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are employed in photovoltaic (PV) systems to make full utilization of the PV array output power which depends on solar irradiation and ambient temperature. Among all the MPPT strategies, perturbation and observation (P&O) and hill climbing methods are widely applied in the MPPT controllers due to their simplicity and easy implementation. In this paper, both P&O and hill climbing methods are adopted to implement a grid-connected PV system. Their performance is evaluated and compared through theoretical analysis and digital simulation. P&O MPPT method exhibits fast dynamic performance and well regulated PV output voltage, which is more suitable than hill climbing method for grid-connected PV system.

Performance evaluation of half-bridge cascaded multilevel converters operated with multicarrier sinusoidal PWM techniques

Abstract: High-power high-voltage power electronics systems with fully-controlled semiconductors can benefit from the development of modular solutions based on voltage-sourced building blocks. This paper offers a performance comparison of various multicarrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for the control of the modular multilevel converter (MMC) based on the half-bridge capacitor cell. It is found that the PWM method can significantly affect the ripple of the capacitor free DC-bus, hence the selection of the carrier frequency and the multi-carrier PWM method is an important design question for the MMC topology. Simulation results for a three-phase rectifier-inverter system generated with the PSCAD/EMTDC software package are provided to support the theoretical considerations.

The applications of WiFi-based Wireless Sensor Network in Internet of Things and Smart Grid

Abstract: The Internet of Things(IoT) and Smart Grid are of great importance in promoting and guiding development of information technology and economic. At Present, the application of the IoT develops rapidly, but due to the special requirements of some applications, the existing technology can not meet them very good. Much research work is doing to build IoT. WiFi-based Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) has the features of high bandwidth and rate, non-line-transmission ability, large-scale data collection and high cost-effective, and it has the capability of video monitoring, which can not be realized with ZigBee. The research on WiFi-based WSN and its application has high practical significance to the development of the Internet of Things and Smart Grid. Based on the current research work of applications in the Internet of Things and the characteristics of WiFi-based WSN, this paper discusses the application of WiFi-based WSN in Internet of Things, which includes Smart Grid, Smart Agriculture and Intelligent environment protection.

Robust sliding mode control for Steer-by-Wire systems with AC motors in road vehicles

Abstract: In this paper, the modeling of steer-by-wire (SbW) systems is further studied, and a sliding mode control scheme for the SbW systems with uncertain dynamics is developed. It is shown that an SbW system, from the steering motor to the steered front wheels, is equivalent to a second-order system. A sliding mode controller can then be designed based on the bound information of uncertain system parameters, uncertain self-aligning torque, and uncertain torque pulsation disturbances, in the sense that not only the strong robustness with respect to large and nonlinear system uncertainties can be obtained but also the front-wheel steering angle can converge to the handwheel reference angle asymptotically. Both the simulation and experimental results are presented in support of the excellent performance and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
