FEATURED TECHNICAL ARTICLES
 
 
 
 
 
 

This article presents a family of transformerless active switched inductor and switched capacitor Ćuk high voltage gain dc-dc converters. The configuration of this family has the advantages of nonpulsating output current, high step-up voltage gain, low voltage, and current stress across the component.

 
 
 
 
 
 
UPCOMING IES WEBINARS 
 
 
 
 

Tuesday 19 July 2022 at 1:00PM BST, 2:00 PM CET, 9:00 AM EST
By Michael Short (Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK)

Approximately 95% of UK international trade is transported via sea ports, and in recent years has accounted for roughly 20% of the UK's total domestic GHG emissions. The talk will outline applied, collaborative research initiatives in the UK to explore port decarbonisation, including deployment of disruptive emissions reducing digital technology and asset electrification.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thursday 21 July 2022 at 2:00 PM CET, 9:00 AM EST
By Alois Zoitl (Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz, Austria)

Control software development constitutes a major part of today production machine development cost. The Domain specific modeling language defined in IEC 61499 provides means to reduce this effort and provides means for integrated communication. The webinar gives an overview of the elements of IEC 61499 and how they can be used for the development of distributed control applications.

By Naki Güler (Gazi University, Turkey) - 22 February 2022

In this webinar, the design procedure of the finite control set Model Predictive Control (MPC) method is presented along with the selection or eliminating of the weighting factor and reducing the computational burdens.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

By Hamed Mashinchi Maheri (Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia) - 23 February 2022

This video addresses the partial shading issues of the residential and small commercial PV installations. The emerged approaches feature single- and multi-mode operation with wide input voltage and load regulation range along with capability of the global maximum power tracking down to very low input voltage values.
