Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are a promising solution photovoltaic (PV), wind, traction, data center, battery energy storage system (BESS), and fast charging electric vehicle (EV) applications. The traditional SSTs typically three-stage, i.e., hard-switching cascaded multilevel rectifiers inverters with dual active bridge (DAB) converters, which leads to bulky passives, low efficiency, high ...

State-space models (SSM) with Markov switching offer a powerful framework for detecting multiple regimes in time series, analyzing mutual dependence and dynamics within regimes, assessing transitions between regimes. These however present considerable computational challenges due to the exponential number of possible regime sequences account for. In addition, high dimensionality series can hind...

A two-level mixture linear dynamic system model, with frame-level switching parameters in the observation equation and with segment-level switching parameters in the target-directed state equation, is developed and evaluated. The main contributions of this work are: (1) the new framework for dealing with mixed-level switching in the dynamic system and (2) the novel use of piecewise linear funct...

This paper focuses on the differentiability properties of the control-to-state mapping for entropy solutions to a scalar hyperbolic conservation law on R with respect to the switching times of an on/off control. As an example we consider the traffic density on a unidirectional road described by the LWR-model that is controlled by a traffic light switching between red and green at certain times....

the direct torque control (dtc) of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (ipmsm) offers simple structure and fast torque response. the conventional switching table-based dtc (st-dtc) presents some disadvantages like high torque and flux ripple and also variable switching frequency. this paper investigates the improved st-dtc strategies to reduce both torque and flux ripple in dtc of ipmsm...

The functionality of computer memory elements is currently based on multi-stability, driven either by locally manipulating the density of electrons in transistors or by switching magnetic or ferroelectric order. Another possibility is switching between metallic and insulating phases by the motion of ions, but their speed is limited by slow nucleation and inhomogeneous percolative growth. Here w...
