Multi‐port medium‐frequency PET topology for integrating photovoltaic generation with battery storage by Xuejiao Li, Mingyan Wang, Bingda Zhu, Chuang Liu

“…Secondly, different from the conventional topology for renewable energy grid connected system, the proposed PET topology is safer and more reliable due to the separate connection of PV and BS through the voltage source converter to the primary winding of the PET. Finally, the PET only uses a single medium‐frequency transformer for voltage regulation and electrical isolation, so that it can avoid the use of DC capacitors in the traditional line/high‐frequency transformers, reduce the PET volume and its costs, as well as simplify the control strategy. …”

Tracking Control for Mobile Robots Considering the Dynamics of All Their Subsystems: Experimental Implementation by José Rafael García-Sánchez, Ramón Silva-Ortigoza, Salvador Tavera-Mosqueda, Celso Márquez-Sánchez, Victor Manuel Hernández-Guzmán, Mayra Antonio-Cruz, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza, Hind Taud

“…The trajectory tracking task in a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) is solved by proposing a three-level hierarchical controller that considers the mathematical model of the mechanical structure (differential drive WMR), actuators (DC motors), and power stage (DC/DC Buck power converters). The highest hierarchical level is a kinematic control for the mechanical structure; the medium level includes two controllers based on differential flatness for the actuators; and the lowest hierarchical level consists of two average controllers also based on differential flatness for the power stage. …”
