Amplitude phase control for electro-hydraulic servo system based on normalized least-mean-square adaptive filtering algorithm

The electro-hydraulic servo system was studied to cancel the amplitude attenuation and phase delay of its sinusoidal response,by developing a network using normalized least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filtering algorithm.The command input was corrected by weights to generate the desired input for the algorithm,and the feedback was brought into the feedback correction,whose output was the weighted feedback.The weights of the normalized LMS adaptive filtering algorithm were updated on-line according to the estimation error between the desired input and the weighted feedback.Thus,the updated weights were copied to the input correction.The estimation error was forced to zero by the normalized LMS adaptive filtering algorithm such that the weighted feedback was equal to the desired input,making the feedback track the command.The above concept was used as a basis for the development of amplitude phase control.The method has good real-time performance without estimating the system model.The simulation and experiment results show that the proposed amplitude phase control can efficiently cancel the amplitude attenuation and phase delay with high precision.

Simulations of the Performance of Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithms Based on Experimental Data According to the Topologies of DC-DC Converters

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are now widely used in PV systems independently of the weather conditions. In function of the application, a DC-DC converter topology is chosen without any previous performance test under normal weather conditions. This paper proposes an experimental evaluation of MPPT algorithms according to DC-DC converters topologies, under normal operation conditions. Four widely used MPPT algorithms i.e. Perturb and Observe (P & O), Hill Climbing (HC), Fixed step Increment of Conductance (INCF) and Variable step Increment of Conductance (INCV) are implemented using two topologies of DC-DC converters i.e. buck and boost converters. As input variables to the PV systems, recorded irradiance and temperature, and extracted photovoltaic parameters (ideality factor, series resistance and reverse saturation current) were used. The obtained results show that buck converter has a lot of power losses when controlled by each of the four MPPT algorithms. Meanwhile, boost converter presents a stable output power during the whole day. Once more, the results show that INCV algorithm has the best performance.

An Evolutionary Normalization Algorithm for Signed Floating-Point Multiply-Accumulate Operation

In the era of digital signal processing,like graphics and computation systems,multiplication-accumulation is one of the prime operations.A MAC unit is a vital component of a digital system,like different Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)algorithms,convolution,image processing algorithms,etcetera.In the domain of digital signal processing,the use of normalization architecture is very vast.The main objective of using normalization is to performcomparison and shift operations.In this research paper,an evolutionary approach for designing an optimized normalization algorithm is proposed using basic logical blocks such as Multiplexer,Adder etc.The proposed normalization algorithm is further used in designing an 8×8 bit Signed Floating-Point Multiply-Accumulate(SFMAC)architecture.Since the SFMAC can accept an 8-bit significand and a 3-bit exponent,the input to the said architecture can be somewhere between−(7.96872)_(10) to+(7.96872)_(10).The proposed architecture is designed and implemented using the Cadence Virtuoso using 90 and 130 nm technologies(in Generic Process Design Kit(GPDK)and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(TSMC),respectively).To reduce the power consumption of the proposed normalization architecture,techniques such as“block enabling”and“clock gating”are used rigorously.According to the analysis done on Cadence,the proposed architecture uses the least amount of power compared to its current predecessors.

Up-Sampled Cross-Correlation Based Object Tracking & Vibration Measurement in Agriculture Tractor System

This research introduces a challenge in integrating and cleaning the data,which is a crucial task in object matching.While the object is detected and then measured,the vibration at different light intensities may influence the durability and reliability of mechanical systems or structures and cause problems such as damage,abnormal stopping,and disaster.Recent research failed to improve the accuracy rate and the computation time in tracking an object and in the vibration measurement.To solve all these problems,this proposed research simplifies the scaling factor determination by assigning a known real-world dimension to a predetermined portion of the image.A novel white color sticker of the known dimensions marked with a color dot is pasted on the surface of an object for the best result in the template matching using the Improved Up-Sampled Cross-Correlation(UCC)algorithm.The vibration measurement is calculated using the Finite-Difference Algorithm(FDA),a machine vision systemfitted with a macro lens sensor that is capable of capturing the image at a closer range,which does not affect the quality of displacement measurement from the video frames.Thefield test was conducted on the TAFE(Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited)tractor parts,and the percentage of error was recorded between 30%and 50%at very low vibration values close to zero,whereas it was recorded between 5%and 10%error in most high-accelerations,the essential range for vibration analysis.Finally,the suggested system is more suitable for measuring the vibration of stationary machinery having low frequency ranges.The use of a macro lens enables to capture of image frames at very close-ups.A 30%to 50%error percentage has been reported when the vibration amplitude is very small.Therefore,this study is not suitable for Nano vibration analysis.

Generalized Algorithms of Discrete Optimization and Their Power Engineering Applications

Generalized algorithms for solving problems of discrete, integer, and Boolean programming are discussed. These algorithms are associated with the method of normalized functions and are based on a combination of formal and heuristic procedures. This allows one to obtain quasi-optimal solutions after a small number of steps, overcoming the NP-completeness of discrete optimization problems. Questions of constructing so-called “duplicate” algorithms are considered to improve the quality of discrete problem solutions. An approach to solving discrete problems with fuzzy coefficients in objective functions and constraints on the basis of modifying the generalized algorithms is considered. Questions of applying the generalized algorithms to solve multicriteria discrete problems are also discussed. The results of the paper are of a universal character and can be applied to the design, planning, operation, and control of systems and processes of different purposes. The results of the paper are already being used to solve power engineering problems.

An Algorithm for the Feedback Vertex Set Problem on a Normal Helly Circular-Arc Graph

The feedback vertex set (FVS) problem is to find the set of vertices of minimum cardinality whose removal renders the graph acyclic. The FVS problem has applications in several areas such as combinatorial circuit design, synchronous systems, computer systems, and very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits. The FVS problem is known to be NP-hard for simple graphs, but polynomi-al-time algorithms have been found for special classes of graphs. The intersection graph of a collection of arcs on a circle is called a circular-arc graph. A normal Helly circular-arc graph is a proper subclass of the set of circular-arc graphs. In this paper, we present an algorithm that takes time to solve the FVS problem in a normal Helly circular-arc graph with n vertices and m edges.

A Self-Adapting and Efficient Dandelion Algorithm and Its Application to Feature Selection for Credit Card Fraud Detection

A dandelion algorithm(DA) is a recently developed intelligent optimization algorithm for function optimization problems. Many of its parameters need to be set by experience in DA,which might not be appropriate for all optimization problems. A self-adapting and efficient dandelion algorithm is proposed in this work to lower the number of DA's parameters and simplify DA's structure. Only the normal sowing operator is retained;while the other operators are discarded. An adaptive seeding radius strategy is designed for the core dandelion. The results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance on the standard test functions with less time consumption than its competitive peers. In addition, the proposed algorithm is applied to feature selection for credit card fraud detection(CCFD), and the results indicate that it can obtain higher classification and detection performance than the-state-of-the-art methods.

基于强稳定收敛的偏正态联合位置与尺度模型的参数估计算法

传统的迭代算法(例如牛顿算法,EM算法等)在实际应用中,往往存在初始值较为敏感的问题.为解决这一问题,一种强稳定的收敛算法——Upper-crossing/Solution算法(以下称US算法)被提出,这种算法虽然在求解一元非线性函数时具有强稳定性,但是不能推广到多元的情形.那么针对多元情形,本文将结合偏正态分布的随机表示,对偏正态联合位置与尺度模型的似然函数进行分层,并且利用MM算法得到一元的情形,再使用US算法构造强稳定的收敛算法.最后通过随机模拟分析和实例分析研究表明了US算法较牛顿迭代法大大降低了算法对初值的敏感度以及显著地提高了收敛的稳定性.

A novel algorithm of adaptive IIR lattice notch filter and performance analysis

A novel adaptive algorithm of IIR lattice notch filter realized by all-pass filter is presented. The time-averaged estimation of cross correlation of the present instantaneous input signal and the past output signal is used to update the step-size, leading to a considerably improved convergence rate in a low SNR situation and reduced steady-state bias and MSE. The theoretical expression for steady-state bounds on the step-size is derived, and the influence factors on the stable performance of the algorithm theoretically are analyzed. A normalized power factor is then introduced to control variation of step-size in its steady-state bounds. This technique prevents divergence due to the influence of large power input signal and improves robustness. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate superiority of the proposed method.

Optimization method of fi rst-arrival waveform inversion based on the L-BFGS algorithm

The fi rst arrival waveform inversion(FAWI)has a strong nonlinearity due to the objective function using L2 parametrization.When the initial velocity is not accurate,the inversion can easily fall into local minima.In the full waveform inversion method,adding a cross-correlation function to the objective function can eff ectively reduce the nonlinearity of the inversion process.In this paper,the nonlinearity of this process is reduced by introducing the correlation objective function into the FAWI and by deriving the corresponding gradient formula.We then combine the first-arrival wave travel-time tomography with the FAWI to form a set of inversion processes.This paper uses the limited memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno(L-BFGS)algorithm to improve the computational effi ciency of inversion and solve the problem of the low effi ciency of the FAWI method.The overthrust model and fi eld data test show that the method used in this paper can eff ectively reduce the nonlinearity of inversion and improve the inversion calculation effi ciency at the same time.
