Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control-Based Voltage Controller for Buck and Boost DC/DC Converters in DC Distribution Grids by Asimenia Korompili, Oemer Ekin, Marija Stevic, Veit Hagenmeyer, Antonello Monti

“…This paper presents a voltage controller for the buck and boost DC/DC DER-interfacing converters that operate in voltage control mode, acting as DC grid-forming converters. A linear active disturbance rejection control (L-ADRC) model is proposed, consisting of an augmented Kalman filter for the state and disturbance estimation, an adaptive state reference trajectory generator and a linear quadratic regulator as feedback controller. …”

Evaluation of Structural Properties and Catalytic Activities in Knoevenagel Condensation Reaction of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 Synthesized under Different Conditions by Pham Dinh Du, Nguyen Viet Duy Thanh, Nguyen Trung Hieu

“…Further, in methanol, the molar ratios of precursors and reaction time have negligible effects on the morphologies and structures of ZIF-8; however, in DMF, the reaction temperature has a significant influence on the microstructures of ZIF-8. The catalytic activities of the obtained materials were evaluated using the Knoevenagel condensation reaction, and ZIF-8 proves to be an excellent solid base catalyst.…”
