Spray drift characteristics of pulse-width modulation sprays in wind tunnel

Pulse-width modulation(PWM)sprays can improve flow accuracy by adjusting duty cycle and frequency signal which accurately controls the relative proportion of opening time of solenoid valve.The objective of this research was to determine the impacts of PWM duty cycle and frequency on spray drift characteristic.Spray tests were conducted in a wind tunnel with a PWM variable-rate spraying system.The airborne drift and sediment drift were determined with tracer method,and the drift potential reduction(DPR)compared with reference condition of 100%duty cycle at vertical profile and horizontal planes were calculated,respectively.The results show that,at a given frequency,droplet size decreases with the increase of duty cycle,the main reason is that the liquid does not reach full pattern development at lower duty cycle.Duty cycle has a greater impact than the frequency on spray drift,the influence weights of duty cycle on airborne drift and sediment drift were 88.32%and 77.89%,respectively.At a lower PWM frequency,in addition to the droplet size,the spray drift may be affected by the pulsed spray pattern.From the perspective of reducing spray drift,it is recommended that the PWM duty cycle should be set in the range of 20%-70%to reduce the potential drift in PWM sprays.This research provides a pesticide drift reduction scheme for variable spraying technology,which can serve as a theoretical basis for PWM parameter selection.

A Dual-Mode Step-up DC/DC Converter IC with Current-Limiting and EMI Reduction Techniques

This paper presents a novel dual-mode step-up （boost） DC/DC converter. Pulse-frequency modulation （PFM） is used to improve the efficiency at light load. This converter can operate between pulse-width modulation （PWM） and pulse-frequency modulation. The converter will operate in PFM mode at light load and in PWM mode at heavy load. The maximum conversion efficiency of this converter is 96%. The conversion efficiency is greatly improved when load current is below 100 mA. Additionally, a soft-start circuit and a variable-sawtooth frequency circuit are proposed in this paper. The former is used to avoid the large switching current at the start up of the converter and the latter is utilized to reduce the EMI of the converter.

Fast SHEPWM Solution Method for Wind Power Converter Based on State Equations

Selective harmonic elimination pulse width modula-tion(SHEPWM)is a modulation strategy widely used for three-level wind power grid-connected converters.Its purpose is to eliminate specified sub-low frequency harmonics by controlling switching angle.Furthermore,it can reduce fluctuation of the microgrid system and improve system stability.Intelligent al-gorithms have been applied to the SHEPWM solution process to mitigate calculation complexity associated with the algebraic method,as well as the need to set the initial value.However,disorder of the optimization result causes difficulty in satisfying incremental constraint of the three-level NPC switching angles,and affects the success rate of the algorithm.To overcome this limitation,this paper proposes a fast SHEPWM strategy to optimize the result obtained by the intelligent algorithm.The SHEPWM can be realized by solving switching angles through a state equations-based mathematical model,which is constructed by using the initial variables randomly generated by the intelligent algorithm as the disturbance.This mathematical model improves the success rate of calculation by simplifying constraint representation of switching angles and solving the disorder problem of the optimization result.At the same time,a method based on the circle equation and the trigonometric function is applied to the initial variable assignment of the state equation,which further improves the speed and accuracy of the solution,realizes a more thorough filtering effect,and further reduces the impact of sub-low frequency harmonics on a wind power integrated system.Finally,simulation and experiment results have been used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed SHEPWM strategy when combined with intelligent algorithms.Index Terms-Wind power converter,adaptive genetic algorithm,selective harmonic elimination pulse-width modulation(SHEPWM),state equation,success rate.

A Precise and Robust Control Strategy for Rigid Spacecraft Eigenaxis Rotation

Eigenaxis rotation is generally regarded as a near-minimum time strategy for rapid attitude maneuver due to its constitution of the shortest angular path between two orientations. In this paper, the robust control problem of rigid spacecraft eigenaxis rotation is investigated via time-varying sliding mode control （TVSMC） technique. Both external disturbance and parameter variation are taken into account. Major features of this robust eigenaxis rotation strategy are first demonstrated by a TVSMC algorithm. Global sliding phase is proved as well as the closed-loop system stability. Additionally, the necessary condition for eigenaxis rotation is provided. Subsequently, to suppress the global chattering and improve the control accuracy, a disturbance observer-based time-varying sliding mode control （DOTVSMC） algorithm is presented, where the boundary layer approach is used to soften the chattering and a disturbance observer is designed to attenuate undesired effect. The spacecraft attitude is represented by modified Rodrigues parameter （MRP） for the non-redundancy. Finally, a numerical simulation is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, where the pulse-width pulse-frequency （PWPF） technique is utilized to modulate the on-off thrusters.

On the Well-posedness of the PWM Control System

One of the basic issues in the study of hybrid systems is the well-posedness(existence and uniqueness of solutions)problem of discontinuous dynamical systems.This paper addresses this problem for a class of piecewise affine discontinuous systems with affine inequalities such as systems with pulse-width modulator under the definition of Carathéodory solutions in terms of an analysis based on lexicographic inequalities and the smooth continuation property of solutions.Furthermore,it is clear that when carrier signal h(t)=0,closed-loop pulse-width modulation(PWM)DC–DC converters are not well posed,and when some condition is satisfied,the closed-loop PWM DC–DC converters with a P controller are well posed.

Model based current mode control design and experimental validation for a 3φ rectifier under unbalanced grid voltage conditions

This paper addresses the control design and the experimental validation of a current mode control for a three phase voltage source rectifier. The proposed control law is able to fulfill the voltage regulation and the current tracking control objectives despite of unbalanced and distorted grid voltages. The proposed control law consists of two loops, which are referred as inner tracking loop and the outer voltage regulation loop. The inner loop is designed to provide damping to the system, which also includes and adaptive mechanism. The construction of the current reference is based on the positive component detection of thegrid voltage. Therefore, the current produced by the power rectifier is proportional to the fundamental component of the grid voltage, despite of the presence of unbalanced grid voltages. The voltage regulation loop is designed as a proportional-integral controller, which is aimed to regulate the DC output voltage to a desired level. Finally, experimental results are obtained in an experimental prototype of2 kW to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller.
