This paper proposes a unified robust zero-error tracking control scheme for constant-voltage-constant-frequency (CVCF) PWM converters to eliminate the tracking error in the presence. Based on the internal model principle, the proposed control scheme plugs a reference signal generator into the stable conventional feedback closed-loop system to accomplish zero error tracking of the dc or ac refer...

1 Abstract—This paper presents an efficient and effective method for an optimal pulse width modulated (PWM) control of switched-capacitor DC/DC power converters. Optimal switching instants are determined based on minimizing the output ripple magnitude, the output leakage voltage and the sensitivity of the output load voltage with respect to both the input voltage and the load resistance. This o...

The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) power electronics systems often produce objectionable acoustic noise at the PWM switching frequency. For example, in a fan / blower drive, the drive used for the blower should use “spread spectrum PWM” technology (also known as Random PWM) where acoustic noise radiating through the duckwork is a very seriously concerned. This paper shows the theoretical basis fo...

A novel zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) pulsewidth modulated (PWM) Cúk power-factor corrector (PFC) is proposed to achieve unity power factor under zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operations. In the proposed ZVT PWM Cúk PFC, not only the power switch, but also the power diode, commutate under ZVS. The proposed topology has the shortest ZVT time and, thus, the shortest minimum duty cycle compared wit...

Hierarchical convolutional neural networks are a well-known robust image-recognition model. In order to apply this model to robot vision or various intelligent vision systems, its VLSI implementation with high performance and low power consumption is required. This paper proposes a convolutional network VLSI architecture using a hybrid approach composed of pulse-width modulation (PWM) and digit...

Algorithms of space-vector-based synchronized pulsewidth modulation (PWM) have been applied for control of dual-inverter fed open-end winding induction motor drives supplied by two isolated dc-sources with non-equal voltages. Results of modeling and simulation of these systems proved the fact, that techniques of synchronized PWM provide continuous phase voltage symmetry (quarter-wave symmetry, ...

This paper presents a simplified hybrid pulsewidth modulation (HPWM) algorithm to reduce the steady state ripple in current. In the conventional space vector PWM (CSVPWM) algorithm, the zero voltage applying time is distributed equally in every sampling interval. Also, this paper deals with two discontinuous PWM (DPWM) algorithms, which use only one zero state in each sampling interval. The pro...

Several lines of evidence suggest the importance of phonological working memory (PWM) in language acquisition. We investigated the neural correlates of PWM in young adults who were under compelling social pressure to be bilingual. Equal bilinguals had high proficiency in English and Chinese as measured by a standardized examination, whereas unequal bilinguals were proficient in English but not ...

This paper investigated the losses and thermal characteristics of induction motors operated from pulse width-modulated (PWM) voltage supply in comparison to that operated from sinusoidal voltage supply. It was concluded that due to the abundant harmonics in the PWM waveforms, significant losses are induced in the motor by the inverter supply. The temperature ascends correspondingly. Switching f...

This paper presents an efficient and reliable Genetic Algorithm-based solution for Specific Harmonic Elimination (SHE) switching pattern. This method eliminates considerable amount of lower order line voltage harmonics in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter. The determination of pulse pattern for the elimination of some lower order harmonics of a PWM inverter necessitates solving a system of ...
